On Wednesday In ft the mortal part of Washington the Great, the Father of His Country and the Friend of Man, was eonligned to the tomb, with solemn honors and funeral pomp. A multitude of per sons a Him hied from many miles around at Mount Vernon, the choice abode' and laft residence of the illultrious chief. There were the groves —the spacious avenues, the beautiful and sublime scenes, the noble manfion —hut, alas, the align ft inhabitant was now no more. That great soul was gone. His mortal part was there, indeed, hut ah how affecting! how awful the etH'ctacle of such worth aval great ness, thus, to mortal eyes fallen! Yes! fallen! fallen! In the long nud lofty Portico, where the hero walked in all bin glory, now lay the fhrouded corpse. The countenance. ftill composed and serene, seemed to depress the dig nity of the spirit, which lately dwelt in that lifeless form. There those who paid the la ft sad honors t< the benefactor of his country, jfcook an impressive—a farewell view. On the ornament at the, head of the cofijn was inscribed si- hue ad .njoreU M, about the middle of the coffin fu.oin \ nno and on the silver plate GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON Departed This Life on the 14th De ter, 1 TOD, .Et. o*B. Between ;> and 4 o’clock the sound of artillery from a veffel in the river, firing minute guns, awoke rtfrefh our solemn sorrow —the] corpse was removed—a hand of lmific with mournful melody melted the soul in all 'the tenderness of woe.

When the procession had arrived at ific : "fWlWW of the elevated lawn ! on the bank of the Potomac, where the family vault i placed, the cav alry halted, the infantry marched toward the Mount and formed their lines —the clergy, the Masonic brothers and the citizens descended to the vault and the funeral service of the church was performed. The tiring was repeated from the veffel in the river and the sounds echoed from the woods and hills around. . Three general discharges by the infantry, the cavalry and 11 pieces of artillery which lined the hanks of the Patomuc hack of the vault paid the last tribute to the entombed Commander in Chief of the Armies of the Cnited States and tire depart ed Hero. The sung was now setting. Alas! the Son of Glory was set forever! No —the name of W ashington —the American President and General — will triumph ovci death! The un clouded brightness of his Glory will illuminate the future ages. Following this article arc words of President Adams commendatory to W ashington for his refusal to ac cept the presidency for the third term. OTHER EXTRACTS. Kingston, Jan. 1, 1 NBO.
