A beautiful Launch—Yesterday about twelve o'clock, the U. S. Sloop of War Peacock (one of the handsomest vessels ever built in this port) was launched from the ship-yard of Messrs. Adam & Noah Brown. She descended majestically into her destined element, amidst the plaudits of many thousand male and female spectators, without the occurrence of the smallest accident.
The Peacock is to mount 24 guns, (22 of them 32 pound carronades and 2 long eighteens) and is to be commanded by capt. Warrington.
We understand it is not ninety days since the architects laid the keel of the above vessel.
