The American storeship Supply, commanded
by Lieut.. comdt. David D. Porter, son of the
first minister to Turkey, the late commander
David Porter, arrived here some days ago. In
her arrived also Major Wayne of the United
States army. You are aware that the Supply
has been attached to The War Department by
the Secretary of the Navy, for the purpose of
conveying number of camels to the United
States. In pursuit of this object, she has visi-
ted Tunis, Smyrna and Salonica. At the former
place she took on board three camels, one pre-.
sentcd to the United States government by the
Bey, and two purchased. These have already
been on board some sixty.fve days, and from
their excellent appearance clearly show that an
ordinary voyage across the Atlantic would not
affect their heullh in the least. They are grow
ing quite fat under the diet and idle life which
they lead on shipboard. l hear that the Sultan
designs offering Captain Porter, for his Gov
ernmenL number of the best camels 10 be
