Capt. Biddle, Of the Ontario slcop oil
war, just arrived at Annapolis, from a
two years. cruize round Cape Horn and
the South Sea, is at present in Washing
ton city. 1t is hoped the public will be
allowed to enjoy the benefits Of his obser-
vations during his cruize; and that we
shall have an account from him, or some
other officer of the ship, Of the many oc-
currences during the voyage, and whilst
10 South American ports, which are wor-
thy of note. Such an account would ex-
cite an interest something allied to that
which was produced by the FIRST authentic
accounts of Com. Porter's gallant and adj
venturous cruize in the same seas.
Captain ]. d. Henley, commanding the
frigate Congress, now lying at Annapolis,
and ready for voyage, even more extern
sive than that from which the Ontario has
returned, has also been on a visit to this
city. This vessel, it is said, will visit
the East India ports: and it is believed
will be the first national ship OF the Uni
ted States which has ever visited those
ports. In her passage down the Atlantic
coast, she will land at Rio Janeiro Mr..
Graham, our minister to the Brazils. AS
soon as he is prepared to embark, the
vessel will sail.--Nat. Int.
