The ship Juno has 'dl‘l‘iV(’(_l at New-York from
Calcutta, whence she sailed the 15th August.
The weather was uncommonly terripestuotis
in the bay of Bpngal at the change of the mon-
soon, and it was supposed that the dr.-struction of
vessels and loss ofproperty_and lives was greater
than had ever before been experienced in one
season. Besides much boisterous wetrtlier, there
had been two tremendous gales, the first on the
30th M.:rch, and the last on the 7th, 8th, and 9th
of Maw. The latter was equally scvcre on the
westcrii coast of the Peninsula.

tank belonging to the vessel, after being exposed
on it 24 hours to the storm.
On the 12th, it blew a hurricane at Sanger,
below Calcutta. but no account of damage at sea
had been received. The H. C. cruiser Ariel,
was run uirder in a squall in the Persian Gulph in
March, and the crew (rising 80 in number) were
all lost except 2 or 3. The Lucy Ann ran out of
Madras Roads, foundered at sea, and all on board
perished.
The Rev. Mr. Judson, one of the American
Missionaries, with his family, arrived in Calcutta
about the lsth August, from Rangoon, which
place he was obliged to leave on account ofa war
' being about to take place between the King of
Pt-gu and the Siamese. It was very sickly in
Calcutta.
On the l4thNov. the Juno hove too about 2 miles
to windward of St. Helena, and was boarded by a
boat from the Vigo, 74; after which the Juno was
permitted to approach the roads, when the Vigo’s
boats came alongside with water from the shore.

Female Pensz'ancr.—-\Ve are much gratified to
learn that during the sitting of the Court in this
town the past week,- Mrs. Grannet, of Sharon, in
this county, presented for renewal, her claim for
services rendered her country as a soldier in the
i Revolutionary army. The following brief sketch,
it is presumed, will not be uninteresting. This
extraordinary woman is "now in the 62d year of
her age ; she possesses a clear understanding, and
a general knowledge of passing events ; fluent in
speech, and delivers her sentiments in correct
language, with deliberate and measured accent ;
easy in her deportment, all‘-able in her manners,
robust and masculine in her appearance. She
was about 18 years of age when our revolutionary
struggle commenced. The patriotic sentiments
which inspired the heroes of those days and ur-
ged them to battle, found their way to a female
bosom. The news of the carnage which had tak-
en place on the plains of Lexin',;~ton had reached
her dwelling ; the sound of the cannon at the bat-
tle of Bunker hill had vibrated on her ears; yet
instead of diminishing her 1ll(i0l'a ll only 8Cl'V'C(l (0
increase her evitlursiasm in the sacred cause of
fiber ty, in which cause sl: .- be held her country on-
gaged. S9‘-e priv:.o.ely quilted her peaceful home
and the lsahilia-rrr:nts of her sex, and appeared at
the head qr :£l‘iCl'S of the American army as a
yotrng man, anxious to join his efforts to those of

ccrs of his suite. whom we embraced with the
lrcartiest good will. All were content: we ate
together, and enthtrsi-.rsm and fr-ate.rnity. could not
go furtlicr. Bolivar came alone with his officers,
confident in mutual good faith and friendship; and
I caused a srnall escort which had accompanied
me, to retire. Neither you nor any one can cori-
ceive how iiitemstiiig was the interview, or how
great was the cordnrlity and regartl that prevailed.
lVe were all wild with delight, it appearing to
us like a dream to see ourselves there come to-
gether as Spaniards, brothers and friends. Be-
lieve that candour and sincerity presided at this
meeting. Bolivar was excited to the greatest
pitch of joy ; we embraced a thousand times, and
determirrcd, in order to perpetuate the memory
of the beginning ofour reconciliation, to erect a
monument on the spot where we gave the first
embrace.’
Another letter, published in the Cararcas pa-
per, says, ‘the dinner was given by Gen. llduriilo,

Upon all the above curious matter, we have no
mom for any other remark at present than that
we think Gen. Bolivar likely to become aloyal

al Legislature. The Hon. John Linn,‘a member
ofthe House of Representatives from the state of
New Jersey, died yesterday afternoon, aged about
57 years, after an illness oftwo weeks. He was
a man of amiable character, and has left at home,
where he was best known, as well as here, alarge
number of warm friends to lament his unexpect-
ed departure.
The Debate which is now going on in the
House of Representatives is very comprehensive
in its scope, covering all questions connected with
the expenditures oftlie government, and ofcourse
touching upon important points of the national
policy. There is every indication that the de-
bate will be of considerable length.

Mr. Barbour‘, from the committee on Naval
.~\fl'-airs, reported a bill to amend the act for the
gradual increase of the Navy. [Repealing the
first section, and reducing the appropriation for
that object of that law, from one million of dol-
lars annually to five hundred thousand dollars, for
six years] The bill was twice read and coni-
iiiittetl.
Mr. Williams, of N. C. submitted for conside-
ration the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Secretary of VVar be di.
rectcd to inform this House what amount of ap-
propriation will be necessary to complete the ex-
isting contracts for the erection of fortifications.
Resolved, That the Secretary oftlie Navv he (ti.
rccled to inform this House what sums of mon-
ey will be requisitc to complete the existing con.
tracts made in pursuance of the act for the grad-
ual increase ofthe navy.
The above resolutions were agreed to.
Jan. 8.—The orders of the day being announ-
ced, Mr. Cobb moved again to go into a commit-
tee of the whole on the state of the Union, when
a short debate arose which resulted in a motion
by Mr. Beecher to discharge said committee from
the further consideration of the resolutions intro-
duced by M r, Cobb. Several gentlemen took part
ln this debate. The discussion was, simply,
whether the subject ofa general reduction of the
expenses of the government, with reference to
expediency and state of the finances, could be
more practically and efficiently considered by con-
tinuing to debate the (lCCit‘il't-ll0l‘_‘,‘ propositions of
Mr. Cobb, or the hills which have been and prob-
ably will liereafter be introduced, for the reduct-
ion of the expenditures of various branches of the
public service. The motion was agreed to, and
the resolutions were ordered to lie on the table.
The committee then proceeded to consider the
bill for reducing the military peace establishment.
Mr. Simpkins of S. C. spoke in opposition to a
hasty and inconsiderate abandonment of the de-
liberate policy of the government.
Mr. V‘.7illiams, of N. C. delivered his views, at
cor-.ider:.rble length, in favor of a reduction of the
army, and of public expenditures generally.
Jan.-—Mr. Arclier,of Va. moved that the house
do proceed to the consideration of his proposition
for instructing the Judiciary committee to inquire
into the present condition of Missouri, and report
whether any, and if any, what measures may be
necessary in reference thereto. N-rgatived_..

Trcnt_z_/ of (‘*7/rent.--lii compliance with a reso-
lution ofthc House of llepresentatives, the Prcgi-
dent of the U. States has commrinicated an ac-
count of tlic tr:-{j)t;n(.lillli‘t3S and _T)l'l)gl‘e.‘-S of the
cominissionms under the 5th, 6th and 7th article
of the treaty of Ghent. The aggregate amount
of the disburscmen'.s, from 12316 to Nov. 30.1820,
is $194,137 63. It seems that the duties under
the 6th and 7th articles are nearly completed, and
that the paralel of the lat. 4-5° north, or the St.
Lawrence river, through the Lakes to the nor th-
ern extremity of Lake Huron, will be finished in
the ensuing season. The commissioi:ers' and
agents receive $4.444 per annum: their secreta-
ry 2200; principal surveyor 2000; other stir-‘
veyors &c 1000.
These (stays Niles’ Register) have been expen-
sive jt.‘i)S to both governments, and one would
think that they should have been completed along
time ago, if the commissioiiers and agents had
act-sd together for that purpose as they might
have done. The business has excited the atten-
tion of the House of Representatives, and the re-
port was referred to a special committee.
S-.'uz/tr Trade.——'I'he President has communica-
ted to Congress, the communications which have
passed between Great Britain and the American
government, on the subject of the slave trade; by
which we learn that the United States, from cer.
tain principles of international law, Szc. are pla-
ced under the necessity of declining the propo-
sal of joining in similar arrangements with those
contracted between Great Britain, Spain, Portu-
gal and the Netherlands, for the suppression of
this abominable trafic. They, however, make
known to the British government, the solicitude
of the United States for the accomplishment of
this common object. and their determination
to continue, with all the earnestness which
has so long and so steadily distinguislrco‘ the
course of their policy in relation to it. “Brit,

Minister) did not admit of our concurrence in the
adoption of them, the President has been far from
the disposition to reject or discountenance the
general proposition ofconcerted co-operation with
Great Britain to the accomplishment of the com-
mon end--the suppression of the trade. For this
purpose, armed cruizers ofrhe United States have
been for some time kept stationed on the coast
which is the scene of this odious traffic; at meas-
ure which it is in the contemplation of this gov-
