On Monday last, according to established u.s.
age on NewYear's day, the Presidents house
was open for the reception of visitors, when,
Notwithstanding the day was extremely cold,
the President received the congratulations of a
larger number than it is believed was ever assem-
bled any similar, or other occasion, in the Ex-
ccutive mansion: all the rooms, including the
great eastern room, as well as the large Hall,
were crowded to excess, for several hours, al
| though there was a constant change of the COM
pany, occasioned by the retiring some, and the
entrance of others. The foreign ministers gen.
orally were present, with the members of their
respective legations; all the heads of Depart


ments, the members of both Houses ofCongress,
the principal and other officers of the govern
mcnt, civil military, and naval, besides an i'm


mense number ofstrangcrs, amounting to sever


al thousands. The annual interchange of salu-


tations between the President of the United


States and the citizens, on the commencement


of the year, gives to the day the peculiar charac


ter of a Republican festival; the observance u
which, we trust, will never be discontinued.
