Baxyer Presentation.—The ceremony of resenting 2 large and handsome silk national ner took place this morning, between nine and ten o'clock, in the presence of many spectators. The Infantry were drawn up in line before the residence of Jonah D. Hoover, Esq., the U. S. Marshal for the District of Columbia; Esputa’s band at the right. On the appearance of Mr. Hoover with the flag in his hands, the air of the “‘Star Spangled Ban- Ber’ was performed by those musicians in their best style; and when it ceased, that gen- tleman addressed the —— as follows : Souprers: I have been selected on behalf of the citizens of this city to present you this besatiful flag. Nineteen years ago the ‘‘ Washington ee Infantry,”’ ‘the name that your corps still boars, was organized, and on this day, just nineteen years ago, its first parade was made. The interval between the organisation of your corps and the present, I can safely assert, has ferved to increase the confidence and admira- tion elicted by its first appearance, and the example then set by your one ineasiey and stimulated simi pee em which su! uently proved sui , and the result is the magnificent regiment of Vol- Se, now the pride and boast of the Dis- The insignificance in number of the regular — of the Ualted Beaten, even at this day, when our power and greatness places us the first powers of the earth, when con! with the armies of othe powers of any i- tude, shows that it was Eitended by our fore- fetbers simply as a nucleys around which to rally the militia to whém was chiefly entrusted of our ; and shero- ically, haé tliat illitia its ability to posed mee sto it etme aoe , here, or abroad. The revolution, the war of 1812, our Indian war, and the war wi illustrate the heroism, the devotion, the energy and. the in- telligence of the volunteers.

The gallant colonel in command instantly sont back the reply : “La garde meurt, mais ne se rend pas.” I do not hesitate to say that I believe, should the honor of our eountry, or the defence of its institutions, wavire you to imitate the exam- ple of that “Old Guard,” that you will devote Yourselves as they did, and that the language of that gallant colonel, ‘The guard dies, but never surrenders,” will he the motte which you will then inseribe upon this banner, which, Captain Davis, I have now the pleasure to pre- Sent, through you, to the corps under your co! as a testimonial of the confidence and esteem of the citizens of this metropolis. The fiag was then transferred to Capt. Jas- Y. Davis, the captain of the Light nfantry, and was ted with h cheering. In re- ly, he thanked the donors for the handsome, ut eran gift, and for the manner in which the honor was bestowed upon the corps which he had thehonortocommand. In placing the flag into their hands was conveyed the compli- ment that its purity should not besullied while in their possesion, and that their best efforts should aieays be exercised to defend it, even at tho sacrifice of life. The expectations of their friends shall not be disappointed. The Infantry then filed off, and proceeded to Col. Hickey’s farm, to join the National Guard there encamped. an invitation havirg a to them for geriee ire ineei- e} ion of the anniversary of the battle of North Point. Mivirary Cevesrarion.—It is well known, personally to some of our older inhabitants, and through the source of printed and oral his- tory to others, that, after the British had in- yaded Washington, on the 24th of August, 1814, and burnt a large amount of public rop= erty, they, emboldened by their incendiary exploits at the National Capital, proceeded to North Point, with a view to the capture of Baltimore. There, however, they met with a repulse, which will be cherished forever, espe- cially by the inhabitants of that city, as the heroism of the citizen soldiery not only shed additional lustre on the American arms, but impressed the foe with the, to him, mortify- ing truth that he was not invincible. It was at North Point that the victory was won, and where the British commander, General Ross, was slain. The anniversary of that day, the volunteer militia now celebrate, both in Balti- more and Washington. The National Guard, together with the Washington Light Infantry, are at Colonel Hickey’s farm, several miles from the city, and the President’s Mounted Guard is in Bal- timore. To-day, we have a visit from the Baltimore sold'eryynamely: the National Blues, Capt. McLean; Montgomery Guards, Capt. Moore; Mount Vernon Guards, Capt. Saxe; Union Guards, Capt Chaisty, and the State Guard, Capt. ot yee ap are under the general com- mand of Col. J. M. Anderson, Lieut. Col. Ed- gerton, and Adj. N. Montgomery, and accom> panied by the Independent Biues band. They arrived in Washington at noon, and were re ceived at the railroad depot by the Montgom- ery Guard, the Washington Highlanders, the Marion Riffes, and the rete, 5 rs, of this city, under the command of Col. Hickey, and escorted ap. our streets to the President’s House, where they were reviewed. The display was beautiful, and the theme of admiration, but the soldiery doubtless suffered exceedingly from the efiects of the heat, the weather eae not only garm but melting. They wero in winter uniform, which served to render their movements more i pressive. After leaving the President’s House, tho military pi led to Carusi’s Saloon, where a fine collation, served by Mr. John Miller, so well known to our citizens for his ability in that line, awaited them. It was prepared at short notice, he having received notice to that effect yesterday evening. In that same saloon, nineteen years September 12, 1836—several companies of vis- iting military from Baltimore were entertained by our citizens; and on that day the Wash- ington Light Infantry made their first parade, the only military company at that time in Wash n. The Baltimore visitors return home this evening. Tue Hucxsters or tae Centre MARKET yesterday generously contributed seventy-six dollars and fifty cents for the relief of the Nor- folk and Portsmouth sufferers, all of which was collested by our public-spirited young friends H. B. McElfresh and L. Neumeyer, of the fraternity, who handed it over to us to be sent down to its destination.

ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. Hauipax, Sept. 11.—The Africa arrived this morning, bringing dates from Liverpool to the Ist of o The nows from the Crimea is merely a de- tail of previous operations, and of the battle of Tchernaya. PARTICUHARS OF THE BATTLE. The battle began at break of day. The Russians crossed the river on floats, and drove in the allied outposts, ‘General Simpson saysthe Russians advanced tree times with the most determined bravery. Thrice they g2rried the bridge and crowned the heights, but were thrice driven back by the French batteries. : The Zouavescharged them with the bayou<t, and the English battery made great havoc as they retreated to the river. The English lancers and the French mount- ed chasseurs were stationed in the plain, but could not pursue the retreating army, as the Russian batteries kept up a fire from their own side of the river, and thus covered the retreat. The Russian report admits great losses and three generals killed. It attributes the loss to the too great impetuosity of the right col- umns of attack. The Russian troops engaged had just arrived in the Crimea. Ge Gortschakoff commanded in person from MeKenzie heights. The Grand Duke Constantine was not present, although it was stated that she was. * The condition of the Russian dead showed that they have been subjected to a long march, and had suffered considerable hardship, which fully confirms Napoleon’s recent statement, that to his knowledge Russian resources are exhausted. General Pelissier issued a grandiloquent or- der, announcing the victory, but his account does not find favor in Paris. They say that he did not make most of his victory, nor pre- pare a sufficient force fo crush the attack. FROM SEBASTOPOL. General Smith’s mail despatch of the 18th says: ‘General Pelissier having announced tw me that the batteries against the Malakoff and adjacent works were prepared to open fire, it should be commenced yesterday morning against those works and the Redan. This continued throughout the day, and the effect produced was as much as was anticipated. The Russian fire, which at first answered briskly, became by evening feeble. In the afternoon shells from our morters ignited, and a number of them exploded in one of the ene- my’s batteries, dcing apparently much dam- age. Captains Oldfield and Hammet have been killed. The British lost 138.’’ The Russians are daily expecting the arriv- al of General Parmitine with 9,000 cavalry, 3,000 infantry, and 160 guns. ASIA. Omar Pacha definitely takes command in Asia, and would leave on the 2lst for Frebi- ronde. Osman Pacha has command of the second division, and the troops will be con veyed in English steamers to Frebironde. We have no reliable intelligence from Kars or Ezreroum. The Russians have re-established communi- cations between Genitchi and Arabat. Several new Russians ships are to be built this winter at Nicolace. THE BALTIC. The Allied fleets have retired from before Cronstadt, and have taken up another posi- tion. A despatch stating that gun-boats were returning home, led to the belief that the cam- paign had closed ; but it now appears that the ships or gun-boats returning, were those which have been disabled. The London Times contains an editorial ar- ticle, couched in very severe language on the non-effectiveness of the fleet, and says that ‘* Nelson and Collingwood must blush in their graves.”” DANTZIC. Private letters state that the loss of the Rus- sians in Sweaborg was not less than 2,000 men. The Russian paper (Nord) says that the loss was only 50 killed, and that 1,300 guns still remain in position, and that the batteries are wholly uninjured. NEGOTIATIONS. The Berlin correspondent of the Augsburg Garette states that the Prussian Cabinet has recently replied to Count Buol’s circular, to the effect that Prussiais disinclined to make any change in her policy in regard to the East- ern question, because she is unable to seo what practical guarantee the often mentioned four points can afford or fits settlement ; fur- ther, that Prussia cannot consent to bind her- self to these four points while the parties prin- cipally concerned reserve to themselves the right of goingbeyond them. Finally, Prussia repeats the decision of the Germanic Bund, made last December, acknowledging the suit- ableness of the proposed conditions of peace, without, however, pledging herself to maintain them. From the above it is evident that Prussia and the Germanic Federation stand precisely as they did twelve months ago. The Austrian papers make complaint that the assistance lent by the western powers to the Sultan is fast changing into occupation of Turkey. The correspondent of the London Times in Paris writes, after a comparatively long period of silence respecting Austria : ‘“‘ The Austrian policy is such that it is again stated in high quarters that the French Government has rea- son to be satisfied with that power.’’ In reply to Austrian remonstrances, Great Britain is said to have stated that the question of nationality will not be introduced into the present crisis, and that the depot of the Italian recruits now at Nevarra will be removed fur- ther from the Austrian frontier. A Berlin letter says that Count Nesselrode had addressed another letter to the Russian Ambassador, in which he says the Czar is wil- ling to make honorable terms of peace. A letter from Constantinople, under date of the 20th ult., says a Council was held on the 18th, at. which ministerial changes were de- cided. Lord Stratford has gone to the Crimea. The Duke of Neweastie had been sick in camp, but was recovering. The Nord Russian Journal says: “‘ Omer Glass, which he is determined to | Pacha freely expressed himself at Constanti- nople that the allied commanders, especially General Pelissier, were humbugs, and that he should twice have lost his army if he had fol- lowed their advice.” Betts, the engineer, writes that the Balak- lava railway is in a vondition to stand the win- ters!
