and revolutionary army, and the providential
inspiration received that gave command to
onr beloved matchless Washington. But
these and MANY other remembrances are
mingled with deep regret for the numerous
contemporaries, for the great and good men,
whose loss we have remainedto mourn. 1t
is to their services, Sir, to your regard for

friendships I,have enjoyed, that refer the
greatest part of the honors here and else
where received, much superior to my indivi-
dual merit 1t IS also under the auspices of
their venerated names, as well as under the
impulse of my own sentiments, that begyou,
Mr.. Mayor, you gentlemen, OF both councils
and all the citizens of Philadelphia, to accept
the tribute of my aifectionate respect and
profound gratitude.


The Judges of the Courts, Cincinnati, Co
vernon of Louisiana, and many distinguished
strangers were then introduced to him. A

companion in arms Col. Forrest, who burst
into a flood of tears, and was so completely

qualntance.-.tt half past six O'Clock the
city was in a blaze Of light, with splendid
transparcncies in many Of the streets. Ma

and allbastcr, and decorated them in a
charming manner, with flowers of various
hucs, and lamps of gorgeous colours The

in illumination, and surpassed any thing we
ever saw or heard Of. The lights were so
arranged as not to be seen at ALL and the
doors being thrown open, so as to discover
the interior, the whole building presented
the enchanting appearance of palace OF
transparent marble. There was sprink-
