V'hat ship this was-I told hinm-lihe then asked

no, and asked what ship it '(as. As plainly as
Could understandd, (he having shot some dis-
lance at this time) he -answered the United
States' fiigate-he fired no. more giuns, but
stood, froli us, giving' no reason for his most
extraordima'ry conduct. At day light in the
morning, saw a ship to wilidward, lhen hav-
ing, made out well what we were, bore up and
ipassedwithinnhail, flfly prepared folrl action ta-
bout 8 o'clock-i-he h11led "i.d said.if I pleased,

Affirmative, and a. 1...,1 ....!l,1.- came with
an officer and a I,'.. -.. I ..i 11i.11on.umodore
-;..,-.,. of the President, United States' fli-
gate, to say thIIt hie lamentCedmuch tile unllbr-
tunate affair,.(as lie ternr.ed it) that had hap-
pencd, and that had lhe known our force was so
inferior, he shIould not have fired at me. I ask-
ed his motive for having fired at ail-his reply
was, that we fired thie first gun at himt whlichl
was positively not the case. I cautioned'both
th'e oilicers and men tto be particularly carefll
mid not suFier iny nrore than 'one man to be at
0l1 e g1l1, or is it probable that a sloop of war
wittlin pistol shot of a large 44 1!1A f.igate
should commence hostilitites-he .... m'
every assistance I stood in n1ed o1 and subnlit-
ted to me that I slad better pIt irtu one tile

tailily have brought her 1 ..-:..... VhattfIur-.
ther confirms me in this opinion is, thai hi!;
guns were not only loaded tiithi rouiId a1d
grape shot, but with every scrap of 'iro th1at1
coul possibly 'be eollectedI. 1 Ihave to lament
the loss of 32 men killed and wounded, imnong
\I hom is the master. His Majesty's ship isi
'imuch damaged in her mastS, sails, rigging and
rjhll, and as there are manly shot th'IoulIgh lbe-
ItI .il.l ald W'rater,l and many shots still re-
.ipg i ler side; and upper works aill sliot
- 1.,: I, .' Ihboard pu sl t al1so, I hae j11 ged itl
.i,,*i proceed to Halifaix, \which will
hlope meet with yonr approbltion. \
I cannot spei k in too 1high terms oflthe officers
and men 1 ha,I e thle 1honer to cotiialltld, foil
their steady and active conduct throughout the
whole of thoi business, who had much to do,
as a gale of wind c.uile on the 2.1d niglit after
thle action. IlhaYe to request, sir,, you \ill be
Leased to recommend to the notice- of the
Jords Commissioners of the Admiralty, my'
t'lst lieutenant Mr. John ?aliberl.v; who iis in
every respect a. most excellctt Ol;icer aind al-
oirded me very great assistance in sloppiiglthe.
leaks himself in. thIe gale, securing the nu1bts
and doing every thing in his power. It would
be tie greatest injustice was I not also to speak
most highly of lieutenant Lov-ell, second lieute-
hant, df Mr. McQuecn master, who, as I have
before stated, was wounded in thul right arm,
in nearly the middle of thlc action, and ?Sr.'
Wilson, master's' male ; indeed the conduct tof
every'lltlicer 'nd man was so good, ic is 1im-
poss hibe for me to discriminate. I beg leave ta
inclose a list ofi the thirty two men killed and
wounded, most of them mortally, 1 fear. 1
hope, sir,'in this affair, I shallt appear to have
done my duty, tnd conducted mlyself as I ou'lhit
to have done, it1gainst so .uper:ior a foIrce, and
that the lItolor cf thle British color's r..s, well
supported.

C'. .TI 's the just arid aimicalble views by
whicl'-the United States have been go-
verned, towards Spain, in the nmeatsure
authorised by it. Our ministers at Lon-
don and Paris were immediately aap-
prised of the act and instructed to com-
municate the purport of it, to both go-
vdrinients, and to explain at the same
time, in the most friendly manner, the
motives which led to it. The Presi-
dent could not doubt that stich an ex-
planation would give all the satisfaction
that whas intended by it. By a late let-
ter from the American charge d'affairs
'at London, I observe, that' this expl".t-
'nation Was i.ade to your government in
the month of last. That it
was not sooner made was ocwing to the
departure of the minister plenipoten-
tiia'y of the United States before the in-
struction was received.
I am persuaded sir, that you will see,
in this view of the silbject,.'very strong
proof of the just and amicable dispo-
sition of the U. States towards Spa!in,
of wilich,I treated, in the conference, to
which-you have alluded. The same
dispoaiti.on still exists ; .but it. must be
understood that it cannot be indulged
longer than may comport with the 'safe-
ty, as well as with the rights and holio'r
ot the nation. '
