 Celebration Of tke French ReUOIniion. The rain having ccased in the course Of Thursday night, the celebration, for which such exten- sivs preparations have been 90 long making, cOOk place yesterday, and the business of this great commercial city was suspended for one day to testify the joy of its citizens at the restoration of liberty to France. The shops Svere shut, and the resorts of trade, deserted for the parts of the city through which the pageant was to pass. The tri-cOlOred flag was displayed early in the morning, with that of the United States, On the various public buildings, while the vessels in the harDOT hOisied the flags of their respective nations At 8 o'clock the civic part of the procession began to form in Canal-street. in the midst Of th0usaDds of spectators, crOwding the side walks and Eazing from the windOws. About half past ten every thing was in order, and inc processiOn began to mOve~-prOceeding first down Broadway to the Park, thence up Chatham street, the BOwery and Br"One street to Broadway, up Broadway to Fourth ~treet, and down Fourth street to Washington Square, where the exercises of the day were to be held. Along the different streets through which the procession passed, the crowd attracted from various parts of the city was immense; and the steps of the doors, offering as they did a convenient post for ob- servatiOn, were so thrOnged with men, wO-

 men and children. that it might almost be said the inmates were kept prisoners in their own houses. When the procession began to enter Washington Square, the military who closed it were yet opposite to Canal street,

 marching down Broadway. the whole route

 being upwards of three miles. It was about

 half past twelve when the head of the pro-

 cessiOn reached tho Square. and at two the last platoon of the militia had arrived. The crowd surrounding the Square on every side was very great, and the wholc number of people within and without the inclOsure was estimated at not less than thirty thousand.- As the procession passed, copies of the ode prepared for the occasion were worked of by the presses and thrown among the crowd. while the tohacconists, busy in their Occupa

 ton, distributed from their platform luxury not less acceptable to many. in the form of neat papers of tobacco. Among the most conspicuous objects in the procession was the pageant of ths butchers, a large platform sup psrtiug a fat ox of huge dimsnsionss aeeora- ted with tri-col0red roses, and drawn ny four Oxen as fat and almost as large. as himself The catiinet makerB, with their superb speci- mens of workmanship, ,attractad a good deHll of attention. :; andi tte snOttO of tine dyers.

The military closed the

 procession in excellent order. The whole

 was the most splendid piece of pageantry of the kind ever witnessed in this city, with the exception of the Canal celebration.

 The procession was gay with tTi cOloTed Asgs inlcrspersed among thu various banners, and tri-colofed cockades and badges in the button holes were worn by all in the process sion. and by numbers of the spectators. Ev- cry where the national emblem of the present government of France was seen. Tri-colOred flags streaming from the museums, the thea tres. and other places of entertainment, over the heads of the persons by whom the roofs were covered to witness the prOcessiOn.- Tri-cOlored tnrbans, tri-cOlored ri5ands, tri- colOred stars and roses were seen in profusiOn at the windows, where almost every pane showed . female face.

 The exercises of the day took place on a stage erected in the centre of the Square, Here the address of the people of New York tO the people of France was read by w. M. Price, m oration pronounced by 5. l.. Gou- verneur, and the Marseilles hymn and the ode written by Mir. Woodwork for the occasion were sung. At about o'clock tho Ex- President, Col. Monroe. ascended the stage, apparently tn feeble state of health. support ed by tHs arm of Mr. Burrows. He remain ed about ten minutes, when from debility he was compelled tO retire. As soon as the cer- emonies were ended, tho crowd began to ex- ercise the propensity which the phrenologists call destructiveness, in tearing down the stage. They had in fact commenced the process of dilapidation before by knocking down part of the underpinning. but as soon as the occa- sion far which 1t was erected was over, it was almost instantly levellsd to the ground, and the timbers of which it was composed strewn about the Square.

 The military part of the procession did not enter the square, nor, in fact. could they have entered in military order. They took their post in the grounds north of the square and concluded the ceremonies by repeated dis. l charges of artillery and small arms.

 As the press was principal instrument in bringing about the late events in France. it received due distinction in the arrangements, and the printers took the lead in the various associations. and bodies of mechanics who bore apart in tho procession.
