! which was being prepared in the State De
! part" ent, in answer to the protest of Austria,
! against the conduct of Capt. Ingraham. The
same was published and given to the world on
the 30th September and has been hailed with
delight by every American. The document

which the President draws, is that koszta,
when seized and imprisoned, was arrested
with the nationality of tn United states, and
they therefore had the right, if they chose to
| assume it, to e. tend their protection to him,

Monsieur Julien, the great musical
composer, has been giving series of mu-
slcal entertainments in this city, which
have drawn together audiences, ranging
from 1000 to 5000 persons. The music
of his unrivalled band is purely of an in
strumental character, but blended togeth-
er with such nicely and precision, that
| an evenings performance is one of varied
delight. Gems from the various operas,
quadrllles, waltzes and overtures, com
nightly. The greatest feature in his con
cerls is the "American Quadrile," which
he has performed twenty six times; it
consists of all the national melodies, viz:
Hail Columbia; the Star SpangIed Ban
ner; Our Flag it is There; the Land of
Washington; Hail to the Chief; Yankee
Doodle, sc. The effect is magnificent
Towards the close of the piece, you hear
the heavy tramp of sodiery nearer and
nearer; the firing of cannon; the rafting
of musketry; the hurrahs of the brave
Yankee boys; the "Flag is still there;"
and amid the noise of the battle and the
music of the banG, the audience become
wild with excitement, and tempest of
cheers rseound through the house. Then
"HaIl Columbia" as a grand finale, comes
in, when the whole audience rise to their
feet and continue standing until the whole
is played. The concerts are being given
al Metropolitan Hall.
