embrace this opportunity OF informing
YOU Of our arrival, after experiencing seve-
raj heavy gales. which proved our new ship
Brandywine to be a superior sea boat to any
! have ever before sailed in; and, IN addi- |
ton to that she is one of the fastest vessels
in our service We have only one fault to
find that is, she ships many seas which
makes her wet and uncomfortable. But,
believe that 1t is, i'll Il great measure, ow-
ing to her having too much ballast on board.
We find the provisions which are expended
every day, tighten her very much, conse-
oucrt,v we are more comfortable every day.
We spoke brig within days sail of'Havre,
sent a boat with letters for the officers
friends, but was unable to board her, in con-
sequence of the sea running so high; spoke
her. however, and ascertaincd she was IRON
IIavrc, bound to 3ostotl-reportcd the Gen
erals family well, anxiously waiting his
arrival, which took place the next day. we
sent boat ashore, to inform the American
Consul Of cur arrival, and tor hum to send a
steam boat to land the General. boat
was sent eff from shore to let us know tht
steam boat would be along by O'Clock;
with all the Generals family. We imme-
diately commenced getting ship in order tor



appointed, and were hoisted in chair sus-
pended from the main yard arm of the ship.
The General stood in the gang way with
both arms open, ready to receive them, and
his son in the cabin TO receive them there
such joyful embracing | never saw.-A
salute was fired Of 27 guns. They all lett
the ship in two hours. Midshipman Porter

the steam boat, and |, the General and
! Commodore Morris, who is to accompany
! him to Paris.-After they had all lett the
/ ship. another salute was fired OF II guns,
! and the men cheered the General, we then
made all sail for Gi5raitar.-Thcend of the
! first "a hours came on to blow a very heavy
rale: and being near to IA lee shore, we were
Obliged to get pilot and put into Cowes,
which is one Of the hantsomest places ever
saw. The town is small and the houses elc-
pant. | have not been on shore yet, but
i intend going Tomorrow. We have had a
great many English ladies on board, some
of the nobility, but | do not thing them to
be compared, in point of beauty, to the A.
mcrican ladies.


a Noble Bird.-A black eagle was killed near
Bclviderc, few days since, measuring seven
feet three inches and a half between the tips OF
his wings. We are informed By Aoollo Bciriacre,
who, it seems, has quilted the classic shores OF
the oriental world, for the pleasant region oi
! Ncw-Icrscv, that he was fred at as he was sit.
