The Alexandria Independent Blues, with ma

at home,) made an excursion Up the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal as far as the Cromnrlln Hnte.
The day was delightful and the trip much en-.

the excursion. On the hanks of the Potomac,
in sight of the splendid scenery of the Great
Falls, the Declaration of Independence was
read The Company sat down at o'clock l"

Committee of the House Of representatives,
Mr., WashIngton's health was drank, with ap'
plause, to which compliment he returned his ac'
Acknowledgements in an appropriate and handsome
manner. The Independent Blues, with their
fellow citizens, then took leave of their Mary
land friends, and returned home just in time
for the fine band. which accompanied them, to
giue midnight serHade.

seen in all their magnifrence for we knn" no
other word more appropriate. The river is full;
