YESTERDAY that the first salute fired on the above oc-
casion was IL guns-it was 10 guns. However, we
will now state more fully the details Of the inter
change of National compliments and courtesy on
this occasion, as guide to the Merchant Princes
of this port on future occasions.
Just at IL o'clock, Lord Ashburton came of from
the battery When opposite the larboard gangway OF
the North Carolina, she fired salute OF 10 guns, an
Ambassadors salute, with the British ensign flying
at her fore. The yards were manned and the mer
gave three cheers. When Lord Ashburton reached
the Warspite he was saluted with 10 guns, and ths
yards manned and cheered, which was returned b,
one cheer from the North Carolina.
Commodore Perry, who was on board the Nortl
Carolina then pulled on board the Warspite with thu
Commander of the North Carolina Capt Gregor.
being absent in Washington,) in his gig, and.on hi
return was saluted with IL guns, post Captains
lutte, from the frigate, which Lieut.. Armstrong re
turned with like number from the North Carolina
AT quarter before two, having hoisted in tn,
boats, and the anchor the Warspite up the star
and stripes to her main, fired 81 guns royal salute
manned herrigging and gave three cheers, all O
which was reciprocated by the North Carolina il
the same manner, with the British ensign at he
fore. The frigate was then towed down the bay
by the Hercules and Bergen, and moved of abou
half past two o'clock She was struck by the squal
off Sandy Hook, but kept her course
DR.. Wainwright went on board the frgatc in one
OF the North Cardinals boats and went down with
her. to return with the pilot There was very large
party of ladies on board the North Carolina, who
were dancing and waltzing with all their might, and
cheering as loudly as their delicate little lungs
would allow them.
One important fact deserves to be dwelt upon
No soul raised voice TO cheer Lord Ashburton,
tile Representative OF the greatest sovereign of Eu-
rope, our Father Land. Lord Ashburton, the peace
maker, the man who together with Mr.. Webster)
has done so much for the universal benefit of both
countries. One solitary person proposed it, but met
no response, and he left the shores of this country
tor ever, IN the presence of thousand Spectators
IL silence.
Agan,-besides curious crowd of eight hundred,
there was not soul accompanied him to the boat,
saving his own immediate suite and Lieutenant OF
'he Warspite. At the stairs, as he embarked, no
human being was present to bid God speed him on
his passage save two members of the King fami.
ly. whose presence kept every one else away.
And why was all this marked contempt shown to
such man on such an occasion. The fact is, that
the conduct of the Kings and Merchant princes on
the committee at the late dinner had so disguised
every honest and patriotic heart, that they were de-
termlned, however much they esteemed Lord Ash
burton and thanked him for his labors, that they
would show in this way their sense of the insult
offered the chief magistrate of their glorious coun
try.
This comes from getting into the hands of a mis-
cradle clique Let us learn wisdom by the past ;
and take the necessary measures to resent or rather
prevent, such an outrage hereafter.
