theatre have attempted it, but they have

The following morning, small handbllls
announced that Mr.. Fox would sing new
patriotic song, &c. The theatre was crow

rapture; it was repeated eight times, and
again encOred; and when sung the ninth
time, the whole audience stood up and
joined in the chorus. Night after night,

the theatre, and in a very few days il was
the universal song of the boys in the
streets, from ono end of the city to the
other. Nor was the distinguished author
of this truly national song-a song which
met the entire appreciation of all parties Of
the day-forgotten. The street in which

This plan of electng their own rulers,

it totally did away with their hereditary
rights, and seriously inierfered with their
favorite doctrine of the divine right of
kings. But what annoyed them most, was
the peculiar favor this plan of self govern

The tinsel gewgaws with which they or
namented themselves. and the titles and
decorations they used to bestow amongst
those that surrounded them. instead Of, as
formerly, inspiring awe amongst their re.
lainers, only excited their laughter and
contempt. They found that whilst those
that ruled over them were rolling in wealth
and spendor they themselves were stary.

pie of the West. These chienains then
saw that if they wished any longer TO hold
their privileges and power, that they must
devise some means 10 stop the progress of

should be swallowed up. 1t was then that

possessions bordering upon the domains of
of those men who elected their own rulers,
and he was afraid that they would use the
same dreadful instrument of annexlion to
deprive him of his territories as they had
done in the Southern part Of their domin-
ions, and he thought it would he a capital
chance to pick quarrel with them if they
should endeavour to extend their area of
freedom any further. He Induced the
other chiellain to join in the plan by offer

succeed in stopping the further progress of
this Western giant. Their plans are no
doubt now all concocted and are partially
beginning to show themselves, but it is al.
most certain they will not succeed, for the
Western man is powerful and vigorous,
and has got numerous family Of stalwart
sons, every one of whom will die before
they will surrender their liberty. But we

ones composed for the present celebration.
The services of the fine band of music
attached to he Washington Regiment, was
rendered to Col. Walton: they are present,
and are valuable acquisition. Gen. Tay-
Tor and Staff, in accordance with an inyi-
tation, paid visit all around, but from pre-.
vious arrangements could only remain long
enough to "kiss the cup and pass il 10 his
friends" with toast to them, individually
and collectively, for their health and sue

Yates what he SAID 10 the officers in the
morning, and added that il had been a
source of regret to him that circumstances
had compelled him 10 keep them SO long
inactive, but that his facilities We're now
ample, and they should move Immediately.
He expressed his satisfaction with their
discipline and appearance, and was very
happy to find them in such health and
spirits. Many officers of the Washington
Regiment, also of the regular army, are
participating in the festivities. CompIl-
ments, toasts, &C., are freely reciprocaled,
while wit, fun and frolic reign supreme.

Clergy, il Mexico comes IN the Union
The Catholic clergy are wearied with The
continued plumber Of rapacious usurpers,
and if they are insured Of peace and pro.

important fact, and may lead TO great con-

one occasion he had come to the conclusion
that bank stock was precarious property

stock he wouldn't have no how. Arriving
at this point he resolved TO leave his spare

provincial army, sent against Niagara anc

lev, of Massachusetts, and Gen. Johnston,
Of New York. Through the early part of
the season, the army lay encamped on the
Hudson, little below Albany, While
the troops were in this position they were
continually receiving recruits from the
New England States IN the form OF drafts
and volunteers. They came in, company

their farms and firesides, and their appear.
ance is said TO have equalled any specI
men Of the ludicrous ever exhibited, save
and except the famous company OF Sir
John Fals,aff. Some of them had long
hair, some short, and some wore enormous
wigs. Some had black suits, some had
blue, and some had gray. Some had long
coats, some had short coats, and some had
no coats at all Their accoutrements
we're equally varied, and altogether fur
nished the most groesque and amusing
spectacle that can we'll be imagined, and
abundance of sport for the British regu,

The music played BY the volunteers was
such as had been out OF date in the Bril-
fish Army for centuries, and assisted fine.
Iy to add point to the amusement afforded
by The whole scene. 10 the British Army
at that time, was one DIR. Shackburg, a
surgeon, who was skilful musician and
great wag. The doctor Immediately
turned his attention 10 the Yankee youu.
eers, and determined 10 pass off joke
by composing tune for their particular
use. lie accordingly remoddled the air
of "Nankee Doodle" called it Yankee
Doodle" and with all the gravity imagi-
nabe, recommended il 70 the newcomers
as one oil the most celebrated airs that his
country had ever produced.
The volunteers admired the tune, and
Notwithstanding the hearty laugh and noisy
rdicue Of the regulars, It soon became a
general lavorite throughout The whole
American camp.
Thus originated an air in pure leyity
and ridicule which many British soldier
in a few years had cause to consider the
knell Of all his glory. The same soul.
stirring strains we're heard at a subsequent
period on Bnnker's Hill, the same on the

breast, and rouse the soul to action.
