gressmen and foreign ministers came
by appointment.
On the first birthday anniversary
celebrated, and the only one observed
in this house. Congress adjourned, as
did the municipal body, and accom-
panied by the corps diplomatique, re-
paired to the Palace where appro-
pirate addresses were read, and a re-
ply made by his excellency. This GUS
tom continued through the whole of
Washington's first term But the ad-
ministration grew so at odds with
Congress before the second term was
ended, over the Presidents neutrality
policy and the treaty with England and
other matters, that the members re-
fused to adjourn any more or take any
notice of the days. Thereupon the
Presidents birthday" ceased to rep
resent the kings birthday" as an offi-
cial holiday. But the people treasured
1t in their hearts and kept it green
until it gained the formal recognition
