NaraI.-The frisate Congress, we hear,
is soon TO proceed 10 the Indian Ocean,

Tor the Pacific Ocean IN a short time.
The system which has of late been a.

The exhibition of an actual naval force
secures the respect of foreign nations :;

of the discipline and efficiency of our
ships, and the instruction of Young
officers and seameD, as 10 the situation oil

tahl service, are promoted; whilst the
extended commerce OF the United States
Is every where protected from enCroach-

new countries, or of existing customs and
