The presidents Reply,
WAsHINGToY Cry, Aug l6, 1853.
To Her Majesty, Victoria, Queen Of Great
Britain:
The President cordially reciprocates the
congratulations of Her Majesty, the Queen,
on the success of the great international en-
terprise accomplished 10y the science, skill,
and indomitable energy of the two countries.
1t is triumph more glorious, because far
more useful to mankind, than was ever won
by a conqueror on the field of battle May
the Atlanic Telegraph, under the blessing of
Heaven, prove to be bond of perpetual
peace and friendship between the kindred
nations, and an instrument destined by Di-
vine Providence, to diffuse religion, civiliza-
ton, liberty and law throughout the world.
In this view, will not all the nations of
,Christendom spontaneously unite in the de.
caration that it shall be forever mutual, and
that its communications shall be held sacred
in passing to the places of their destination.
TSigNed JAMES BUCHANAN.
The grand event of the age is consummata-
ted The success of the Atlantic Telegraph
is no longer Il doubtful, but a positive certain
ty The Queens message has passed over
the wires, and President Buchanan's reply
has been safely transmitted to England. The
report of the arrival Of the Niagara at Trini-
ty Bay was followed by the news of the ar
rival Of the Agamemnon at Valencia, and
Immediately the whole Union seemed in a
blaze of glory ;sdispatches from nearly every
city, town, and village in the whole country,
as well as Canada, were received announc-
ing the glad tidings, when everybody waited
for the first message. Some difficulty WAS
experienced at first by the electricians, in
arranging the recording instruments, but the
public seemed satisfied with the assurance
that the signals from Valencia Bay were per-
feet Several days expired, without any
positive information on this point; and in
the meantime, several merchant and others
forwarded messages to the officers of the
company in this city and Boston, for trans
mission. One message, of tifty-seven words,
was paid for at the rate of one dollar word.
Arrangements were also made throughout
the Union for general iNllitcation, aud in
New York triple celebration was agreed
on-the first on the reception Of the Queens
message the second on the arrival of the
Niagara, and thirdly Il grand international
les ival to take place at the same time in New
York and London. The public suspense was
thus relieved by the preparation, till finally
on the afternoon of the 18th ult, the first
regular message ever transmitted between
the two continents flashed across the wires
to the Directors Of the Atlantic Telegraph
Co., New York. A few hours after the
Queens message was received. BY some un-
accountable accident the first paragraph was
given as the entire message, and the public
IN the East were consequently very much
disappointed; on the 10th, however, the
whole message was received. This was the
s,gh!l fora general outburst Of popular en-
thuslasm all over the country Bells were
rang, cannon fired, tar barrels and gunpow-
1er ournef and flags Haunted to the breeze
buildings illuminated and public rejoicing
everywhere In New York there was
sPehdId display of fire works, a salute of 200
guns and general illumination of the city,
