THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Seventy -Eighth Anniversary of Ameri
can Independence.
CELEBRATIONS IN THE CITY ANO ELSEWHERE.
To-morrow twenty-five millions of free people
Will unite in celebrating the event which gave
them the privileges they now enjoy, troni the
Atlantic to the Paciflo shore? from the forests
Of Maine to the savannahs of Florida, the glad shout
Of rejoicing will be heard from the rising of the sun
onto the going down of the same, typifying that
time, not far distant, when the flag of these indepen
dent Btates shall be acknowledged as the palladium
Of equal rights throughout the world, and when the
mm shall not set upon the celebration of our na
tional birthday.
The celebration of the day bid* fair to be, this
year, certainly equal, if not superior, to any tha
has preceded it. In some of the Eastern towns the
people, deluded by clerical influence, at first re
solved not to celebrate the day ; but we believe tha'.
this hasty step has been reconsidered in avery in
fctauee. Tn Bostou there is to be, a celebration oi
jui usual brilliancy, and the new city government in
tend to makti some alterations in the style of get
ting up, refusing to follow the precedents of former
years. In Providence, also, there will be a celebra
tion, with any amount of fireworks.
THE DAY IN NEW YOKK.
The public oflices will all be closed? the Post
Ufilce will remain open till noon, when the mail for
the steamer Canada, which sails from Boston for
Liveipool, will close. The day will be officially
ushered in by the firing of a national salute from
the Battery, but every body who hath earn to hear
will probably be made aware of its approach at
imidnight, by the voluntary salutes of juvenile
patriots.
The principal feature of the city celebration will
be the military parade, and we append Gen. Sand
ford's orders to his oommand :?

down the barrier ? which have oeen established of
necewtty to preserve subordination, which has rx

celebrated a meeting of the creditors of a Pardo,

meeting, and the mulattoe* to?k possession of the

upoatbe invitation and by the management of the
Senor Judge. This has been bruited about town,
and Bade the subject of more talk than I think it
detenes, as it is but a small sample of what must
occur under the administration of the new laws, of
which the whole batch has scarcely produced so"
mu< h txcitcment as this little touoc of reality.
They lave now a taste of the laHh on this side, and

Spanish honor cont-itta with the broad dootrines o '
abolition. He has estabtishei ? by law ? in the land
where toll m.der his blessed care " shall be sweet "
without "the ?wmt ot' the brow," that makes the
bread of labor bitter in lands where freedom of

Within the past fortnight three cargoes of ne
groes hove been landed in the immediate vicinity of
Trinidad, belonging to Messrs. Borrell, Zulueta, and
a third part}*, consigned to the first named, and un
der the direct auspices of Don Jose de la'Pezueln,
(brother of the Captain General,) and Estorihe
Hind ie of thi Advisory Council, (Ayuntamiento,)?
the MarciuisDon Juan de la Peauela being the un
seen protector of the " expedition." To facilitate
the landing ?f said arrivals, a man by the name of
Martin, late Lieutenant Governor at* Raracoa, was
recently installed Governor of the district, and
Alvevui, who was found a little too honest, except
for doing afftirs upon his own hook, was removed,
tu der the e.vuse that he was altogether too lax iu
his supervision, and allowed too much facility for
this crime. The Captain General despatched or
ders, by the Iuid mail to the new Governor to seize
the three cirgoes of negroes forthwith, ? but the
evening pretfous a special messenger had left the
Palace, Don P? o B ? r, and by oteacaerfrom Rata
banao, was tlree days in advance of the Vice Royal
will at Trinidad ? closed the negotiation, and dis
persed the negroes beyond the reach of Mr. Martiu,
or of Genera. Pezuela. The number of negroes
that have pmscd under this arrangement to the
" Bweet toil " of Pezuela, reaches near one thousand
?and the difference between the affirmative and the
negative of th< most "noble Mnrqids in this case, has
been In favor <f the first by the sum of forty-two
thousand five hundred dollars, in the pocket of his
vice Serene Highness ; and large compensation has
been found by nil the participators in the fraud.
These are the aits of the man who is on both sides
at the same tine, for his own interest? making
slaves of the frte for money, and making the bond
free for the sare compensation, while he is busy
In the cinorganiiation of our social fabric. This is
the man suited *> the taste of the Ti ibunc ? fellow
of the BympathzerB and murderers of Boston and
Worcester, and inember bv recent introduction of
the " Institut d'Afriquc- " of Purls there are
some here who wall that he was with hi* congenial
associates ? whoever they may claim to be ? above
or below.
The first arrival of a detachment of the six thou

which they haw taken off one tier of guns, or por
