THE FRIGATE CONSTITUTION,
Public notice having been given of the intended launch of this frigate, yesterday, an immense crowd of people assembled, to view a scene, which promised, greatly, to interest their pride and feelings—Much credit is due to the Agent, and others, in the Navy-Yard, for the arrangements made; they were certainly judicious, and discover an anxiety to accommodate; although innumerable spectators were disappointed, as to the launch, yet there is no fault to be attributed to any one—the prudent precaution used by the Constructor, to PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION ENTIRE, AND END HER safely to her destined element, while it has retarded the completion of the launching, for a day or two, is by no means dishonorable to him. The public expect, on Friday, to be gratified in beholding a handsome launch.
We are authorized to assure the public, that preparations are making at the Navy Yard for completing the launching of the United States Ship of war, Constitution, To-Morrow, at one o'clock.
