NORFOLK, June lU.-We have the pleasure to lay Ee-
fore readers the following particulars recent
cruize of the u S. Ship Fincennes, John H. Aulick
Esq, Commander, in the Pacific and Indian Oceans
The details will be found Of much interest and will
ply compensate the reader for the time devoted to Them
1t will be recolected that the Fincennes sailed from
this port on the 9Th November 1882 and has been absent
from the u. S. two years and seven months.
The TiacenneS having been engaged for several
months in the usual duties OF cruiser, the Western
Coast of South America took leave Of The squadron
Callao the 2ls Of July, 1885, and touching at
took her departure cruise through Polynesia and the
East Indies.
On the 18th August following she made the Marque.
sas and carly the next day, anchored at Nukuhva, one
Of the Washington group where during her stay: she
was visited by the natives whom she found 10 be in ge
neral we'll disposed towards countrymen, and
in traffic with ships, for such necessarcs The Island
could furnish. Proceeding from the Washington Islands
to Tahiti she anchored at first at Matava Bay, aud AFTER
wards Papier, the residence Of Queen Pomae. Here
she rrcprocated civtcs with the authorities, aud
newed the friendly assurances which preserve 10 our
traders the advantages Of resort where supplies
plentiful: and the harbors sngularly convenient and
cure
Arriving next at the Friendly Islands, the Vincennes
anchored at Port Refuge. Favaoo spot seldom visited
by ships Of war, but favorite rendezvous for whaers
alter long cruise. Several whale ships already
at anchor, and it learned that the island was un
der good regulations, ably enforced by intelligent
and energetic ruler that the advantages OF tie ar-
Dor could for the future be enjoyed without The fisk
OF violence from The natives, to whom rapine was
short time since, unhappily familiar After delay
long enough TO produce such impressions as it was de-
siruble to cultivate, the ship proceeded 10 the Navi.
gators Islands, at one of which, (Otewhy) part OF
the of the whale ship William Penn, had lately
been cut Off Having approached within few miles Of
Otewhy, the ship was disguised to prevent premature
aarm and received visit from The natives. These
were all detained board while armed force Of
men and marines was sent ashore with orders to take

the outrage upon the VIM Penns boats or, in case of
