The island of Kenn which is said to be

Calcutta Journal, and by the editor himself,
as we'll adapted to the purposes of becoming
an entrepot for all the maratime commerce
of the Persian Gulf. and likely, under pro-
per management, TO succeed in due time to
the departed greatness OF Ormuz and Gamh-

advantageous with those OF the settlements
for becoming The emporium of lucrative
trade with the surrounding nations, and in
6nitey superior to either in regard to its
conyeniences as seaport. We hope, there

natives, with whom a closer intercourse
will thus be entertained. The editor of the

The bill as reported, was as follows
For the admission of the state Of Maine into
the Union, and 10 extend the laws OF the
United States to said state.
Whereas, by an act of the state OF Massa-
chusetts, passed the 18th day of June, in the
year of one thousand eight hundred and nine
teen, entitled An act relating to the sepe-
ration of the District OF Maine from Massa1
chusetts proper. and forming the same into
seperate and independent state I; the PEG
pie of that part of Massachusetts heretofore
known as the District of Maine, did, witt
the consent of the Legislature of said state OF
Massachusetts,, form themselves Into an lnde-
pendant state, and did establish a constr
tuition for the government ofthe same, agree
ably to the provisions of said act therefore.
Be enacted By the Senate and House Of
Representatives. ofMs y. S. Of .3n'eraca, IN
Congress assembled, That from and after the
third day of March last, the state OF Maine IS
hereby declared to be one of the U. States
of America, and admitted into the Union
on an equal footing with the original states
in all respects whatever.
Sec. 2. And be II further enacted, That,
until the next general census and apPortion-
ment OF Representatives, the state of Massa-
cbusetts shall be entitled to, and may CONT
nus to have, thirteen representatives; and the
said state Of Maine seven representatives, IN
the House of Representatives of The United
States.
Sec, 8. find be 1t further enacted, That
all the laws OF the United States, not locally
inapplicable, shall be extended to said state,
and have the same force and effect within the
same, as elsewhere within these United
States.
On motion of Mr. Holmes, Of Massa chu-
sets, lthe Chairman OF the committee who
reported it, the second section Of the bill
was stricken out as unessential to the main
object of the bill, if any provision at all on
the subject was necessary.
A debate then arose on the bill, which, bow
ever, was not opposed on principle the OBJ
iect being rather to deter its consideration tor
time. A sketch of the debate will be
shortly given.
The result was, that, after two or three
hours spent on the subject, the committee
rose, and determined, by msjority of one
vote, to report progress, and obtained leave
to sit again.
And the House adjourned

By late Commercial papers from Liverpool
we learn that the import of American cotton
during the present year, has been much less
than the consumption. 1t is estimated that
the stock of American cotton in England. at
the close of this year will be 10000 bales less
than last year. The consumption OF this ar
ticle this season, is stated to exceed in guam
THY that Of any former similar period. This
is accounted for by the expectation OF yarns
to the continent An opinion is entertained
that Gotten viii obtain higher prices the COM
ing year than il has sustained the past. The
expectation OF poiashes renders them of ready
sale. Flour and wheat are more sought after,
and prices are advancing, as an opinion is en-
tertained that the ports will be open before
the next harvest, Patriot.
