At ten o’clock, they were prelented with an elegant
Siandatd, by Mrs. Marshal , worked with her own

(. onttitunon, supported by the pillars ot Wildoni and
Moderation, and emblema ieal of jultice and Peace,
and the other bearing the lpread Eagle, the arms of
the United States, with the following address.
Gentlemen —lt is with infinite fatufachon, I am
enabled on this aufpiuous day, l.icred ill the hearts of
Americans, as the birth day of their liberties and inde
pendence, to prelent you with this ltandard.
Exempt from the ruin and desolation of war, with
which the European woTd .3 afflicted, while you con
tinue as Citizens and Soldiers, under the mild policy
ol our happy government in the enjoyment of these
biefliugs which peace lo eminently b. ltoivs, I trull it
will oe coniibered as an ornament to your corps. —But,

and freedom, fnnunon you to the “tented field,” to >
unfurl it in the face of an enemy, 1 feel a proud con- i
fidence that ycu will valiently defend this banner, and

your lives,
1 pray you to accept my bell wilhes for your contin
ued prosperity, as Savannah Volunteer Guards.
On receiving the Standard, Ensign Reynolds re
turned the following answer.
We refpetftfully solicit yon madam, to accept our
cordial thanks, for the flattering mark of diftindtion, j
with which you have been pleased to honor us as a
Volunteer corps, by the preientation rl this (landartl—
we lliall ever appreciate it an ornament of rich vaihe.
We are feelingly alive to those emotions of pride and
exultation with which the boiom of a loidier mull

the confidence of thole whole prtlence inspires even
cowardice with iortitm e—and whale lmiies coMtitutc

T lie expedition to the continent is in such and
state of preparation, that one thing only is want
ing to its immediate departure—tin* determina
tion of ministers as to the point to which they
(hall lend it. In all former services of this na
ture, it has been ttfual to proceed according to
a natural course. The object lias firft been IV
lctled, and the force afterwards aflembled.
Things are now reversed. An expedition u
aflembled, and the object is Rill to be cliofen.
It was at firft intended to fend it to St rail in and. ;
but the late armistice lias effectually defeat 1 l
] that intention. Dantzic was not the fuhjcCt of
j deliberation : but, if report may be credited,
’ the ling of Prufta tier lined the offered .tjfflance.
j In the present state of Europe, vie do not fee
, whether a continental expedition can poflibly he
sent. The continental armies do not want our
ferjeants guards and veteran battallions. At
Straliund, they will be ufelcfs-—at Dantzic they
tire not wanted. The late miniflry gave thisi
point a long and careful confiderat ion ; and the
result was, that they did not deem it prudent
to incur a certain rifque for a veiy uncertain
