ARRIVAL OF THE PEACOCK.
BEACON OFFICE, NORFOLK, }
Ue{neS{du. ,YDrH oo-6 . N Z


Wednesday, .3prH 2e-6 p. NJ
The U. 5. sloOp oil war PEACOCK, Can't. Nc.
CALL. arrived at Pensacola on Sunday. 4th inst.
from Vera Cruz, which place she left on the 9th
uit We are happy TO state (says the Gazette)
that her officers and crew are in good health. The
p. has been absent from Pensacola more than
five months. during all which time she has been
on the Mexican coast, affording such protection
to our commerce in that quarter, as the present
disturbed state of the country called for. The
affairs of Mexico are represented as being in a
very distracted state. The reign of the present
dominant party. it was anticipated, would be Of
very short duration, and who would succeed them
was very uncertain, as the soldierv in whose hands
seemed to be the disposing power, were ready to
elevate any leader who had the means of paying
them. BY pillaging the cities, Bustamenle had
been enabled so far to sustain his government, but
was calculated that his resources were nearly ex.
hausted. and that his power must end with them
Among the evils growing out of this disturbed
state of things in Mexico, are the vexations and
depredations sustained by foreign commerce.
Indeed, to such an extent has this evil been felt
of late, that it seems for the present almost to
have extinguished our hopes.
The Peacock has been fortunate in rendering
efectual aid to several vessels in distress whilst
lying at Very Cruz.

President Of the Senate:
SIN: Permit me to inform you, that from an
intolerance Of light my eyes are rendered painful
when compelled to face it, or any object where
the condensed rays of light produce strong re-
f1ection. In the preparation and arrangement of
the Senate Chamber, with view to my appear
ance and trial, allow me to express the wish that
regard may be had 10 this circumstance, and
that my position in relation to my judges may be
such that may see them, without, at the same
time, being compelled to receive the direct
rays of light upon my ewes from the windows
make this request Of YOU, upon the SUPPOSE
ton that the arrangements of the Chamber will
be subject to your direction. Should be incor-
rect in this snpposition. allow we further to re-
quest, that this communication will be present
ed to those to whom that subject may be commit
ted.
With great respect.
Your Obedient servant.
