The Marquis de la Fayette.—The President retired, and a 16th toast was drank, " ThePRHSiDENT of the United State.s." In the evening a Ball, in honor of the Presi dent, was given at the Long Room in the Fila ture. At half past 8 o'clock the President ho nored the company with his presence, and was personally introduced by one of the Managers to 96 ladies, who were elegantly drefied, foirie of whom displayed infinite rafte in the emblems and devices on their faflies and head drefles, out of respect to the happy occasion. The room, which had been lately haiulfomely fitted up, and was well lighted, afforded the President an excellent opportunity of viewing the Fair Sex of our city and vicinity, and tlve la dies the gratification of paying their refperts to our Federal Chief. After a few minuets were moved, and one country dance led down, the President and his Suite retired about 11 o'clock. At 12 o'clock the flipper room was opened, ai.d the Indies partook of a repalt, after which dances continued till 5 o'clock. The company retired with the happy fatisfaftion of having generally contributed to wards the hilarity and gdiety of the evening. On Saturday morning the President, attended by Gen. M'lntodi and leveral ethdr gentlemen, took a view of the remaining traces of the lines conftruifted by the Britifti for the defence of Sa vannah in 1779 ; the General having been se cond in command under Gen. Lincoln at IVorm ing thetn had an opportunity of giving an ac count of every thing interesting during the liege and in the attack. In the afternoon the Prefidenc honored the Citizens with his company at a dinner prepared for him under a beautiful arbor, supported by three rows of pillars, entirely covered with lan-, rel and bay leaves, so as to exhibit uniform green columns. The pillars were higher than the ar bor, and ornamented above it by feftoons, and con itemed below by arches covered in the fame wanner. The place on which it flood was ju diciously chosen, presenting at once a view of the city and of the fbipping in the harbor, with an extensive profpetft of the river and rice lands boih above and below the town. But the prin cipal advantage which resulted from its lunation and ftruftnre was the opportunity which -it af forded to a great body of people to have a dif tin ft and uninterrupted view of that object to which all eyes and hearts appeared to be at tracted. A company of nearly 200 citizensand strangers dined under it, and the fatisfac'lion which each one enjoyed in paying this personal tribute to the merit of a man who is, if poffihle, more be loved for his goodtrefsthan admired for his great ness, produced a degree of ■convivial and har monious mirth rarely experienced. Every one beheld with delight in the person of our President, the able General, the virtuous Patriot, the profound Politician ; in a word, one of the mod shining ornaments that ever digni fied h uin'an nature. The Artillery Company dined under another arbor eredled at a small diihince, and received merited applauTe for the great dexterity which they displayed in firing at each roast. 1 heir fires were returned by Korc Wayne, and the ihip Thomas \Vilfon, which was moored opposite to Saturday, June 4, 1791- the arbor ; herdecorartohS through the day, and illumination at night, had a fine effect. The following toalVs were given : The United States of America. Prosperity to the citizens of Savannah audits vicinity [/?>' the Prefide>U~\ The Fair of America. The Vice-President of the United States. The memorable Era of Inde pendence. The Count d'Eftaing. The memory of Gen. Greene. The Arrs and Sciences. The memory of thofc brave men who fell before the Lines of Savannah on the yth of Odtober, i 779. The Friends to free and equal government throughout the globe. All Foreign powers in PriendThip with rhe United States. May Religi on and Philosophy always triumph over Super fli ion pnd Prejudice in America. The present dexterous Corps of Artillery [The Prejldent's roajl.] (/ifter the President retired,) The Pre side nt of the United States. The conftrutftion of the arbor, and the manner in which die entertain input was provided and conducted, did great honor to the gentlemen to whose direction the whole " as committed. Jn the ovaniiig ihere 3 hnndiome exhibi* lion of fireworks, and the amusements of this clay of joy and feltivity were concluded by a Con cert. On Sunday morning the President attended di vine service in Chriit Church, and soon after let out 011 his way toAugufta. On taking his leave of the Mayor and committee of the Citizens he politely exprefled his fenfeof the attentions I'iewn him by the Corporation and every denomination of people during his Hay in Savannah. He was attended out of the city by a number of gentle men, and escorted by a detachment of Augusta dragowns commanded by Major Ambrose Gordon. the Spring Hill the President was received by Gen. Jackson, where the Artillery and Light In fantry Companies were drawn up, and was there saluted by 59 discharges from the lieldpieces and IZ vollies of platoons. After which he proceed ed with several gentlemen .to Mulberry Grove, the feat of the late Major General Greene, where lie dined, aYTft then refuiiVed hi* tour. It is highly pleasing to a grateful and patriot ic mmd to reflect upon the happy consequences which will probably _flow from the to\ir which the President isliow performing. His admira ble qualiries had long since extended his fame to the ntmofl: of civilization, but it is only by personal interviews that a jult idea can be acquired of the amiablenefs of his temper and his engaging manners. The Intelligent serenity of his countenance, the unaffected ease and dig nity of his deportment, while they excite the 1110 ft profound respect, naturally rivet the affec tions to hiin. As the most unlimited confidence is reposed in his prudence, abilities, and patriot ic, this effeiS miilt have essential influence in, giving energy to that government in the adminj illration of which he has so considerable a part J — _ .
