Alexandria, Jan. 19.

On Tuesday night a number of the citizens of Alexandria met at Mr. Kynnes's tavern, to celebrate the wise and energetic measures of our administration, as exemplified by the cession of New Orleans. On this joyous occasion Mr. K. handsomely illuminated his house, and the following toasts were drank, accompanied with martial music, and the most hilarity.

1. The citizens of America on both sides of the Mississippi may one interest rivet the union we this day celebrate.
2. Jefferson--his enemies fear and admire him, his friends glory in their chief, and the world venerate his wisdom.
3. The heads of departments--they combine patriotism and talents with wisdom and virtue.
4. Monroe and Livingston--May their country long remember their faithful services and successful negociation.
5. Governor Claiborne and General Wilkinson, the American commissioners whose fidelity has been relied on, and whose virtue and talents have been approved.
6. The volunteers who descended the Mississippi to assert the rights of their country.
7. The republican phalanx, who in '98 asserted the rights of their country, and in 1801, restored them to their pristine vigour.
8. Agriculture, Manufacture, and Commerce may they each flourish under the benign policy that forbids the support of one at the expense of the other.
9. The disaffected few who revile the administration for its virtue--let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.
10. Federalists, tories, and royalists--may their principles never be disseminated in our newly acquired country.
11. The liberty of the press and public odium on those who abuse it.
12. The memory of General George Washington--may his fame be ever dear to us all, but let contempt be fixed on those who hypocritically call themselves his admirers, while aiming a deadly blow at the liberty of his country.
13. The memory of S. Adams and J. Hancock, proscribed by a king as traitors, because they loved liberty and excepted by him from mercy, because they were devoted to their country.
14. The heroes of '76--may their memories be embalmed with the tears of regret, and their fame be the emulation to posterity.
15. The tongue, the pen, and the sword, perish the traitors who would use either to injure or destroy the democratic institutions of our country.
16. Rofs, Morris, and Bayard, reformation to their hearts, and execration to their policy.
17. Unhappy Ireland, and her brave and patriotic sons, whether at home or in exile.
18. The American Fair--May they turn from their arms those who would make their progeny slaves.
