Naval Pets with the Lima Bellies.
LIMA, Peru, April 81, 1872.
Seldom has the naval power Of the United States
been as well represented in the waters OF Peru as
at the present time. IN obedience to an order
emanatng from Rear Admiral John a. Winsow,
commanding the Pacific feet, the harbor Of Caao
now reoices in the presence OF five Of Uncle Sans
vessels-thc California, bearing the broad pennant
of the Admiral the Ossipee, commanded by captain
J. N. Miller; the Resaca, Commander Nathaniel
Greene; the st. Marys, Commander Harris, and the
storeship Onward, Commander Geo. White This for
midable conjunction OF our ships OF war rather
cited Peruvian curiosity on their first arrival.
Rumors of all natures and descriptions were
put in circulation, but finally the good
people Of Lima aud Callao were persuaded
Of our pacific intentions, and soon regalned their
equanimity. The rendezvous was ordered by Adj
miral Winslow for the purpose OF general inspec-
OF seamen charged with desertlon, disobedience,
&c. This last duty liz being carried on energetic ally
its highly unpleasant character rendering the Of
fcers forming the courts doubly active in their en-
deavors to reach the end.
THE PENSACOLA,
one OF the finest vessels In our navy, with Commo-
dOre StemDel on board, is expected to arrive
shortly. 1t Is greatly regretted that Admiral Wins
lows health received severe shock while on the
but now the gallant veteran is steadily improving.
Mrs. and Miss WINSTON, accompanying the
Admiral, express their enjoyment OF the
trip and take great interest In the peculiar
features, OF the coast. The Lima bellies
gaze complacently on the stalwart figures and
handsome faces OF the Officers who roam through
the quaint streets OF the capital hunting up its
curiostics, and the admiration IL returned; Uut te
