FEDERAL FRIGATE.
On Saturday last, the keel of the United States frigate, building in this town, was finished laying. It is 156 feet in length, and from the elegance of the workmanship, and the goodness of the timber of which it is composed, as well as that in the dock-yard we anticipate that she will be one of the finest vessels that ever floated. She will measure nearly 400 tons more than the Concorde. After the laying, the workmen and a large number of citizens, were very handsomely regaled.
