It was now that I found M) self under the painful necessity of giving orders for a repetition of our fire against a forbe which my fOrbearance alone had enabled, to do us any injury of moment ; our fire was accordingly renewed and continued frorn 3 to S • minutes longltr, whets per teivitig our opponent's tiff and colours &km, hi s nt ontdp.sAil yard - upon the . ,cai and his fire silenced, although it was so dark that I could not discern any od•ter particular injury we had dtmel or how far he was in a situation to do us further harm; I nevertheless embraced the'earliest moment to stop our tire; t and prevent the further etftpiion of blood. Here a pause of half a minute or: more took lam, at the cud of which, our adversiry uut,shew- ing a further disposition to fire, I hailed, and again asked g‘ What ship is that ?" I learned, for the first time, that it Was a ship of hia Britannic . Majesty's ; .but, owing to its blowing rather tresher..than it had dons, .1 was unabletn learn 11ePname; After hav ing informed herGotnmander of the name of this" ship, .I:gave orders to wear, run under his lee and' haul hy . the wind on the starboard tack, and heave.

" At day-light on the ilth, he was disco'eted se veral mites to leeward, when: I gave orders to bear up and fun dOWn to him under e a sy sail ; atter ball. ing him, I sent a boat on board with Lieut. Casing. SON, to learn the names of the , ship and her Corn mandcr, with:dirt:Mont to ascertain the' damtge• she had sustained ) , and inform her Commander bow much I regretted the necessity oa my part, which. hod led to such an unhappy result, and at the same time to offer alt the assistance that the ship under my command afforded in tepairieg the damages his had sustained. At IMIE: A. M. Lieut. CRISIGHTON returned with intortnatinn that it was his Britannic ;Majesty's ship Little ,Belt, commanded by Captain limitintst, who, i t ) a polite manner, declined the 'a‘ceptotice at any assistance ; saying, at th 4 same 'tune; that he had - on board all the necessary requi , 81i414 to iipair the danaages, lutliciently.to enable hirn'to return tofialitox. This however, was not the most uupleasant.. part of Capi..BitiGnAm's communication to Lieut. CREIGnTON, ' ss lie informed him, that in addition to the injury his ship had sustained, between 20 and 30 of his crew had been killed and wounded. " The regret that this information caused me was such, you may be sure, as a man Might he expeeted to feel, whose greatest pride is to prove, Avithuot ostentation, by every public as well as private ad', that he possesses a humane and generous heart ; and tt ith these sentiments, believe me,, Sir, that such a cOinillUtllnation would cause me the most acute pain duriug.the remainder of my lite, had I not the con solation to know that there was no alternative left trip between such a sacrifice, and s ene which would bare been still greater, namely,. to have remained a pasdve speotator of insult to the flag of my coun tri, whilst it was confided to my protedioe—and I. would have you to be convinced, Sir, that however much individually i may previously have had re.,:sou to feel incensed at the . .repeated outrages committed on our flag by British ships of War, neither my, passiops nor prejudices had any agency in this affair. . • • • " To my country, I am well convinced of the importance of the. transaction which has ,imposed upon me the necessity bf making you this commu iticatidn ; t twist, therefore, from motives of,deli eacy, Connected with personal consideration, solicit ,that you will be pleased to tequest the President to authorise a formal inquiry to be instituted into alt the circumstances, as well as into every part of my Conduct connected with the same. .
