BOSTON, September 24.

A dinner was yesterday given by a number of the most respectable citizens, to his Excellency Citizen Adet, French Minister, near the United States.—At which were drank the following toasts:

1. The President.

2. The Republic of France—The energy of her councils—the liberality of her policy, and the unparalleled splendor of her arms.

3. The Vice-President and Congress of the United States.

4. The Governor and Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

5. The Minister of France near the United States.

[The Minister here took occasion to make the following pathetic address to the company: "The marks of friendship with which you overwhelm me, I receive, not so much on my own account, as on that of the nation I have the honor of representing—whilst I testify at this moment the extreme satisfaction I feel in finding myself beside those citizens who first raised the standard of liberty on this continent, and who have known so well how to defend it—I seize the same instant to assure you of the affection I bear to the Republic of the United States, being assured that the Americans will exert every effort to cement with the people of France an union, formed under the auspices of victory, and which the blessings of liberty will from day to day consolidate."

* Being near Gov. Adams and Gen. Lincoln.

6. The Batavian Republic—May the united voice of her citizens soon give stability to her government and perpetuity to her liberties.

7. Uninterrupted Peace and Friendship between the three great Republics.

8. The Powers friendly to the United States.

9. The Columbian Fair.

10. Our University and all sources of information.

11. The liberty of the press and the sacred right of private opinion.

12. Commerce—May that of the United States be as extensive as interesting.

13. Agriculture—That source of independence and palladium of freedom.

14. The Arts and Sciences—Those luminaries of national glory—May they be constantly adding new splendor to the western constellation.

15. The Temple of Freedom—May its Portals be the Poles, its Canopy the Heavens and its Votaries mankind.

16. The nations of the globe—May their enlightened policy, unclouded wisdom and unsullied justice, give peace, liberty and happiness to all the world.

VOLUNTEERS.

The American, French and Batavian Republics—May they, by the virtues which they practice, and the happiness which they exhibit, attach all nations to the cause of social liberty.—Liberty—may the mirror of truth be her Aegis, and the hydra of false politics her Medusa's head.—May the Buckler of freedom cover the oppressed, and her spear be emblazoned in humbling the oppressor.—Peace to the contending nations of the earth—May the flames of War serve but to light the calumet of peace.—All mankind—May the exalted virtue of patriotism itself be finally lost in universal philanthropy.
