Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth day of the President of the United States, when heen tted the 65th year of hit age. The day was ah ferved with utiufual demonstrations of feftivity and rejoicing.

The officers of the militia of the city and county met at eleven o'clock at the Stare house, and marched from thence to the house of the President, to whom they presented an address—they then returned to the State House and accompanied the society of the Cincinnati in their visit to the President, who also presented an address. The Pre fident received also the congratulations of foreign public charaftersj and of a Numerous concourse of citizens, ladies and gentlemen.

The answer to the Address of the Vice Pefident ofthe United States on his relirirfg the Senate, was yesterday, agreed to as follows. Sir, _ „ The Senate of the United States would be un just to their own feelings, and deficient in the per formance of a duty their relation to the government of their Country imposes, Should they fail to ex press their regard for your person, and their ref peft for your chara&et", in answer to the address you presented to them, 011 your leaving a Ration which you have so long and so honorably filled, as their President. The motives you have been plea fed to disclose which induced you not to withdraw from the pub lic feivice, at a time when your experience, talents and virtues were peculiarly defneable, are as hono rable so» youtfelf, as from our confidence in you, Sir, we trwft the refalt will be beneficial to our be loved country. When you retired fiom your dignified feat in this House, and took your leave of the members of the Senate, we felt all thole emotions ol gratitude and affection, which our knowledge and experi ence of your abilities and undeviating impartiality ought to inspire ; and we (honld with painful reluc tance endure the separation, but for the corifoling reflexion, that the fame qualities which have ren dered you nfcful, as the President of this branch of the Legislature, will enable you to beftill more so, in the exalted to which you have been called. From you, Sir, in whom your country have for a long period, placed a steady confidence, which has r.ever bwn betrayed or forfeited, and to whom 1 hey have on so nrany oecaGons eni.rufted the care of their dearest interests, whieh have never been abufad.— From you who holding the fecend situation under the Coriftitution of the United Siates, have lived in uninterrupted harmony with him who has held the firft.— From you w« receive with much fatisfaAion the declaration which" you are pteafed to make of the opinion you entertain of the character of the pre sent fenaters, and of that of those citizens who kave oeen heretofore senators. This declaration, were other motives wanting, would afford them an incentive to a virtuous perseverance, in that line of condufl which has been honoied with your appro bation. In your future course, we entertain no doubt, that your official condufl, will be measured by the constitution, and dire&ed to the public good, you have therefore aright to entartain a confident reli-. *nce, that you will be supported, as well by t he peo ple at laige as by their constituted authorities. We cordially reciprocate the wifhrs which yon express for our honor, health and bappinefs, we jeiu with yours, our fervent prayers for the continu ation of the virtue* aud liberties ef eur fellow citi - '• .

" Our Peace with the Interns is likely to be of ftlurt. duration. The Indiana and White People have already been killing one another. The dispute firft began by the Indians plundering three waggons loaded, palling from Knoxville to Cumljcrland.— Since that tinac, two men living in Powell's Vale, murdered two Indians who were hunting on the Wilderness road, and plundered their camp. This day we hear the Indians have killed Colonel Daniel Boone, his son, and son-iB-law, when out viewing lands on Red River. This latter report wants con firmation, though it comes pretty direst."
