,A bill has passed the House, granting a pen-
" ’sion' of sixty dollars per month to Major General
Jo/in Stark. It appears that this lioary veteran,
who rendered such important service tothe coun-
try during the revolution, is now 90 years of age,
wholly helpless, and in very. reduced circumstan-
ces; that he depended for support on his chil-
dren, who were not very able to do it; and that:
he had ehtirelyworn liiinselfout in the service

war, and inthe revolution, with distinguished
honor to himself and nation. '

is concentrating a respectable force at Baton

bine and Rio del Norte.‘ The necessity for this
movement, is the assemblage ofa large military
and naval force there, which is said to be piratical

miles below Black Rock. It is 12 miles long,
and from 2 to 7 broad. Tlic_Indian title to this
