The Celebration of Washsmgton's Birth Day.
Trusting that notice of the dongs at place,

show your numerous readers how Americans
abroad get up celebrations, ask your attention for
a moment. The requisite permission from the
authorities being obtained, grand salute of tblr.
teen guns announced the anniversary OF the birth
day Of Washington, the father Of his country.
During the day other salutes were fired the YES
sells port dressed in their gayest colors,
and all anticipation till the hour of dinner ar
rived. The company was composed mostly of
Americans, with gOodly number OF invited guests,
residents and foreigners, not by any means forget.
ting our German friends, many OF whom had, du-
ring the day, evinced much good feeling upon the
occasion.
Our popular and estlmable Consul, Samuel Nc.
Lean, Esq, presided at the table In his usual hap
py manner. An abundant and well served dinner
awaited the appetite, and to which no quarter was
gwen. Soon the lasses sparkled on the board"
when silence was requested, and with we'll chosen
words, with appropriate sentiments, our worthy
President directed our thoughts and attention to
the occasion of the meeting, recalling to the memo
ry the virtues of him who was first In peace, first
war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,"
which was listened and responed to by all present,
with desc rved attention and expressive silence.
Then followed other sentiments all expressive
of the feeling ever pervadng the breasts of all Ame-
ricans when speaking of Washington, with others
from invited guests. showing also that the fame OF
this great man Is widely extended and his memory
dear TO all. Patriotic songs, lnterpersed with IN
strumental music, served also to give charm to
this happy meeting, which was not interrupted by
a single occurrence to disturb the good feeling
which should always exist upon an occasion OF
this klnd-occasons which are doubly pleasant to
those who are " exiles from home.'
