The Anniversary <;t’ Aoier.cau Indr- j nemlence was celebrated wrh much spirit j in tills city. It was iishoicd in by the morning gun ; and at snririse,-the-federal \ sabre was lired. A few momen’s before 1 11 o’clock, the Governor received at the steps of his own h *use the marching sahne : of the volunteer troops of tlie city.— By j 11 o’clock, a largo crowd was collected in the Hall of the FT >tise of Delegates, to' witness the presentation of the swords, which had been executed under the reso lutions of the General Ass nobly. The ceremony commenced With the Govern or’s delivering the following Address: Mr. Thcmas Ritchie— Sir : In compliance with a resolution of the General Assembly of Virginia, it has become my duty, to present to v-.u, sir, ♦-the Representative of the nearest male relative of the late lamented C . ed plaudits, to the latesr posterity, j Deeply impressed with these sentiments i and feelings,! now present you this sword, sir, in behalf of the commonwealth of V ir ginia, to he passed over to vour elder bro ther, Colonel Archibald Ritchie—and I sincerely pray, that he may long live to wear the honorable emblem of his broth er’s heroic achievements in 'he service of his countrv ; and, if need be hereafter, to add to its lustre by his own future valorous deeds of arms. Mr. T. R. made the following Rpplv: SIR. T thank you.—Would that it had fallen to some other person to express the feelings which are due to the occasion'; hut he, to whose achievements this honor has been awarded, now sleeps on the soil of Canada ;—And be, .to Whom this sword is to be transferred, has charged me to rep resent him. Tub's name, in the name of mv oilin'- brother,T nledge to von, that this honorable donation to the ntemorv of onv brother shall ever remain -unstained in his hands. Sir.it is no small consolation to the fam ily of a soldier, to recollect the glorious cause in which lie fought and the manner in which Iip fell.—The late rwa origin ated in the same Principles of Indepen dence which consecate th'S immortal day. We fought again for our rights and for onr honor. It was a war for “ Free Trade and Sailors’ Rights.” Heroes were want ing to conduct it; and they sprung, no at the call of their country. On the Ocean and on 'he lakes they triumphantly lim e the star-spangled hanpe*- against the re doubtable Red f*rnss of England. They coned on the land with some of the bravest soldiers in the world.—Their deeds have wafted the the fame of our country to the remotest corners of the Earth. Yet, where so many are brave, it is the lot of hut few men to claim an v extraordi nary merit —ft was not the merit, hut the good fortune of Cant. John Ritchie, to fall : n no common field. It was in no in glorious affair of outpost, nor in any hasty skirmish of humble detachments. We had to meet'fir the first time the troops of WMl'ocfpn, then fresh-from f he Victories r>f 'he Peninsula.— Tfe fell on the plains of T?-ldgpw-iter—the best contested action in the even fipld—and the most glorious du ring the wlmle war. excepting always the V'corv ofNew-Orleans on the Sth of Ja nuary. It was the field on which sprang ibe grppnpst laurels that bloom upon the fjro^vs of Brown ind of Scott.—The ter rors of Lundy’s Lanp attest how much the 1 artillery contributed to the success of that d iv ; and, by the s : de of his gun, at the bond of his troops, under the victorious oagles of his coun'ry, mv Brother breath ed his la«f—But enough, Sir !—the gallant soldier could do no more. lie "sealed his i devotion to hi'seountry,with his blood. He i paid 'he debts which every citizen owes to such a country. JJe paid it not grndg- 'nglv ; for, no man’s blood flowed more freely than his. I need not ask von, S'r, nor my sur- r Minding fellow-citizens, to excuse these Recollections. They are precious to the family of him to whose memo-v the grati- tude'of Virginia has dedicated this sword. They are not without their interest to others; for this large assembly, the elo quence with which you have expressed vour own emotions; the generous resolu tions of -a enlightened Legislature; this sword, all assure me, that the blood of 1 he Defender of his country does not fall in vain The Governor then delivered the fol lowing Address to Philip No bone Nicho las Esq. who had been deputed by Go vernor Holmes of the State of Mississip pi to represent him on this occasion. Mr. Philip Norborne Nicholas— Sir—In compliance with a resolution of the General Assembly of Virginia, it has become mv duty to present to the- nearest male relative of the late lamented Major Andrew Hunter Holmes, a sword “ as an expression of the distinguished re- t membranes in which the General Assem- Jou.N .Ritchie, a sword, “ as an express- j biy holds the memory ot that gallant Cit- ion iff the distinguished remombranc", in izen and Soldier who fell covered with which the General Assembly holds die I wounds and with glory, near Michtlli- nioaiorv of that gallant citizen and smaier^ mackinac, fighting in defence of hts coun- v.’ho foil covered with wounds and with >he plains of Bridgewater, fight- dolence with the nearest male, and all o- thrr relatives of the gallant Major Holmes for their sad bereavement, produced by the mysterious fate of battles, I hope 1 may be indulged in sympathising not only with his relatives, but with his country, in the proud, consolator , recollection, th..t in the last act ot his life, the patriot hero was covered with glory, which is now pttbiickly commemorated by his grr.t. fid country, and will be handed down, with its hallawcd plaudits, to the latest poster - ty. Decjdy impressed with these senti ments and feelings. I now present you this sword, Sir, in behalf oi the Com monwealth of Virginia, to be passed over to the nearest male relative of the late gallant Major Holmes, and I trust he will derive a consolation from seeing in tins hero is no more,his valorous deeds will forever remain fresh in the recollection ot his affectionate and applauding country.

When we were engaged in war, with one of the most powe fill, warlike nations of the earth, Mr. Andrew Hunter Holmes a young man of talents, then in the practice of a lucrative profession, \t iff the most flattering prospect ot success, roused bv a sense of the .vrongs done o his country, and the dangers to which slm was exposed, determined to abandon the employments of peace, fi>r the hon ruble, bat more perilous career of arms. He ob tained a command in our army. Ardent in his character, emulous of military glo ry, he embarked whit his whole soul in the conflict and resolved to stake his fame and his life on its issue. Distinguished by his valor, and h.s enterprise, he courted eyery opportunity to meet the enemy, and to him the post of" danger, was over the post of honour. His career, though short was brilliant. His promotion was rapid, and he bid fair to at'ain 'he highest hon ors of his profession, But Heaven de creed it otherwise! In the last battle in which he was engaged, he fell whilst gal lantly leading his men to the attack, cheering them by his words, and his ex ample.

This fact of fers an argument so plain and conclusive, that it needs only to be mentioned to enforce convic tion. From Dr. Wm. Price, formerly Surgeon, of tin Pennsylvania Hospital, ivc. Liverpool, (eng.) Sept. 1823. The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana cea. prepared by Mr Swaiin, of Philadelphia, has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price, from the United States of America, where it now extensively used in the treatment of a vane- tv of Chronic Diseases. Of the efficacy of'this preparation Dr-Price has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence, during a course of experiments made under his direction, whilst Surgeon of the- Pennsylvania Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad ditional instances of its successful administration. The diseases in which this Medicine has been particularly useful, are those arising from con stitutional causes—as in the various forms of Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or soft parts ; and in cases, where a disposition to this disease is manifested by debility only, it operates as a preventive to the local disease by its beneficial effects on the constitution. It is equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately been gb'en with marked success in chronic dis eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful exhibition of mercury It has, likewise, very re cently been administered with decided advant age bv one of the most distinguished Surgeons in London, in a case which had entirely destroyed the right eye of the patient, and a great portion of the side of the face.
