Dinner to Marshal Bertrand at the Aston
House.
The dinner to Marshal Bertrand took place
yesterday, and IT had been our intention to have
laid before the public full report of the affair Its,
however, in degree out of our pc wer IN conse-
quence of the decision of the committee, who
showed themselves totally ignorant of the tone of
good society which we have always presumed was
the same in all countres-in New York and in Paris
We believe their exclusion of gentlemen connected
with the press is almost without a precedent and in
this case the affair has especially bad appearance
inasmuch as in this country, Frenchmen, the compa-
Mons of Napoleon and OF their iusrious guest,
found welcome and that asylum denied to them by
almost all the rest of the world; and here the memo
ry of Napoleon has ever had warm partizans as
even in France The reason assigned for this ex-
cusion was that the affair entirely national 1t
did seem to u.s. however, after rather hasty glance,
that the Drawn and sinew exhibited by portion OF
the guests, and that not small portion, betokenec
some: admixture of Anglo.saxon blood AT
about six o'clock the hall was crowded
with spectators, and at nearly seven the
company passed into the gentlemen's ordinary,
where they were soon joined by the General and
staff, accompanied by Governor Bouck, Mayor
Morris, Commodore Stewart an few naval efi.
GERS, and several persons in militia uniforms, among
whom were Generals Morris and saLdford Among
the guests we noticed also M. Artot and Signor
Giampero, our fellow citizen Philip Hone, ESQ.,,
and others as well known The General was re-
ceved with cheers Of welcome, and the Mar
seillase and took his seat the right OF the Presi-
dent, M Henri Babat On the prolongaton of the
table on the right, the officers of militia, while
on the left were seated the civil authorities, and
Commodore Stewart and his companions. The
eatables which their gentemanly host had so libe-
rally provided having been done justice to, and an
approximation to silence obtained, the President
announced the first regular toast:-
l. "A La Memoire de L'Empreur-Le Demi.Dieu de
la France don't mmortae sc Ieheera sur ceux qu ont
religion de genie qui ont etc les apotres de So
glore on les compsgnons de son martyre.

lowed by Bonaparte's Coronation March, we'll exc
