CHAPTER MI. (1S15-lS.)

tlme since 1850, the Bay was frozen so
that travellers on foot passed from the
main to the head of Long Island. On the
| lth of February the British sloop OF war
Favorte arrived at New York bringing
the Treaty of Peace concluded at Cehent on
the oath Of December previous and rati-
fled by Great Britain on the 27th. It was
forwarded without delay to Washington
and ratified by Congress- Intelligence of
the joyful event was transmitted to New
ork by express messengers, thence to
Boston, and reached this place by due
course of mail early in March The news
was hailed with all the demonstrations
OF JOY which the place and people had the
capacity to express. The tield-pieces were
brought from their hiding-placc, salute
fired at the junction of Main and High
streets, respectable quantity of window
glass broken, and a still larger quantity
OF still thicker glass subjected to manipu-
latlons which would be entirely unintelli9i-
bic to many of the people Of these days.

| once more the sun shone out. Business
began again to flow in its wonted chan
nels; numbering and ship-building revived
and the fisheries We're resumed Belfast
brought out her working clothes. which
