Constitution in Port

Painting of the USS Constitution

Boston, February 18. — The Constitution Frigate came up yesterday, and anchored off the Long-wharf, about 12 o’clock. She was saluted by a federal discharge from the South End artillery company, and the frigate Congress, which were returned by the Constitution. The yards of the Congress were manned ; the shipping in the harbour gaily dressed with their colours, and the wharves crowded with people, who cheered her arrival with repeated huzzas. The flags from the Gunneries at the South End, Fort and Cops Hill, were displayed during the day.
