The u. Ship John Adams yesterday lett
her anchorage off this bar, where she ar
rived the day previous, and proceeded on
her voyage. having on board Mr.. Poinsett,
of this city. who is on visit to Mexico.
The John Adams. we understand, will
touch at Porto Rico, for The purpose OF
protesting against the fitting out IN that
bort Of privateers, which capture AmerI-
can vessels, under an alleged order OF the
Spanish Government, blockading the
South American Provinces, which tiock
aiding decree has never been officially
communicated to the United States. From
Porto Rico, she will proceed to Vera Cruz,
and there land Mr. Poinsett; thence along
the Spanisb Maine to Carthagena. where
Mr. Todd will be landed; thence to La
guira. and along the coast OF st. Domingo,
Jamaica and Cuba, through the Virgin
Islands, thence to Vera Cruz, and home.
We in Charleston, where the John Ad-
ans was built, feel peculiar interest in
her welfare and the health and happiness
Tot her crew. We sincerely hope that the
maladies incident to cruizes in warm lati-
tudes at this season, may not affect her,
and that her crew, like the oak of Caroli-
ma, which bears them, may always return
mo port fresh anduninjured.
