CINCINNATI, July 11.
Last Saturday being the auspicious fourth of July, so dear to every American, the morning was ushered in by a salute from the cannon of the fort; and which again were fired at one o'clock. A number of respectable citizens, both civil and military, assembled at Gordon's Hotel to partake of a handsome repast prepared for the occasion. The day was spent with great harmony, and the wine received an additional zest from the following toasts, which were answered by salutes from the cannon.
Guns.
1. The People and President of the United States, 13
2. The governor and North-Western Territory, may its rising sun never set.
3. The Legion of the United States.
4. The Territorial fair. May they love and be beloved.
5. The French nation and confusion to all despots, 13
6. Agriculture, the true interest of America, and parent of virtue.
7. Needful commerce and manufactures.
8. Honesty, because 'tis the best policy.
9. A government of laws, without fraud or force.
10. May licentiousness never be mistaken for liberty, nor liberty for licentiousness.
11. Unanimity and felicity to the great family of mankind.
12. The globe we live on. May all who inhabit it claim and enjoy liberty as their birth-right.
13. The day.
Volunteer—May the civil and military go hand in hand.
