ever Was fought between two frigates
commenced and continued until within
a few minutes ot I, A. M. when the
enemy's fire was completely silenced,
and he was again fhcering off.
It was at that moment that I con- ;
% fidered him as my prize, and vas
trimming in the belt manner, I conld,
my much (battered fails ; when I found
the main-mast Was totally unsupported
by rigging, every shroud being (hot a
way, and some of them in several
places ; that even Hoppers were ufe
jefs, and could not be applied with ef
fed. I then gave orders for the offi
cers to fend the men up from the gun
dock to endeavour to secure it, in or
det that we might get along fide ot the
enemy as soon as possible ; but every
effort was in vain, for the mam-mad
went over the fide in a few minutes af
ter, and carried with it the top men,
among whom was an amiable young
gentleman who commanded the main (
top, Mr. James Jarvis, son of James
Jarvis Esq. of New-York. It seems
this young gentleman was apprized of 1
the mad goingin a few minutes by an I
old seaman ; but he had already foI
much of the principle of an officer cn- I
grafted in his mind, not to leave his,
quarters on any account, that he told I
the men if the mad went they mud go !
with it, which was the case, and only :
one of them was saved.
I regret much his loss, as a promif-}
jng officer and amiable young man, as ;
well ^ on account of a long intimacy[
that has subsisted between his father |
and rnyfelf ; but have great fatisfadion|
in finding! have no other officer killed,:
and only % or 3 (lightly wounded, four
teen of the former, and twenty five of
the latter.
As soon as the main mad went, eve
ry effort was made to clear tire wreckj
fi om the (hip as soon as possible, which ,
was effected in about an hour. It be-I
ing impossible to pursue the enemy, and ।
as her security was then the great ob
jed, I immediately bore away for Ja-!
maica for repairs, &c. finding it im
possible to reach a friendly port in any.
of the islands to windward.
I should be wanting in common juf-I
tice, was Ito omit here to journalize
the heady attention to order, and the [
great exertion and bravery of all my |
officers, seamen and marines, in this .
adion, many of whom I had fufficiently|
tried before on a similar occasion, and ;
all their names are recorded in the mut
ter roll I sent to the Secretary of the
Navy, dated the 19th December lad,
signed by myfelf.
All hands employed at repairing the
damages sustained in the a&ion, so far
as to get the (hip into Jamaica as soon
as possible.

j„ Officer on board the Confellation, has
forwarded the following address which
mas delivered by the brave Truxton,
to his Officers and Crew, on the 2d. Feb
ruary, 1800,
Public thanks dio' but a small tribute
is neverthelcfs justly due to seamen, &
soldiers who have manifefted their zeal,
activity and bravery so conspicuously,
in support of the honor and dignity of
their Country's Flag, as the Crew of
the Conftcllation, of 38 guns did
evening in an engagement with a French
National frigate of 58 guns or upwards
(carrying much heavier metal) in
which the enemy was compleatly beat
!en, and would have become their prize,
' had the damages sustained in making
the firft efforts to get along tide of her,
together with the loss of the main-mast,
main-top-mast, main-top-gallant-malt,
mizen-top matt,and several oth^r spars,
which also went over the tide at the
moment of her sheering off, together
with the dismantled Rate of the ihip
otherwise, made a further pursuit im
pra&icable.
As the commander, therefore, I feel
infinite fatrsfadion in returning my
thanks to the officers of every descrip
tion, seamen, marines, and others, for
the gallantry they displayed on this oc
casion, which under a beneficient Pro
vidence, has enabled, me to add another
laurel to the American character, on
( the records of the Navy, and you may }
be assured, Gentlemen, Seamen, and j
Soldiers, that you Ihall be properlyl
I noticed to the President of the United
। States, and such of you as have been
lunfortunately wounded and survive,
I will no doubt be put on the pension lift, I
;and while their misfortunes I regret, I |
I (hall (late with pleasure theirjuß claims j
|to the government, in order that they|
I may have that protection and care j
I taken of them which is provided by
ia CTa r cful country for those that the
: fortune of war has been unkind to.

Experiment's Engagement.
The United States schooner Experiment, of I
12 guns, commanded by Lieut. Maley, had,l
on the firft of Jan. a severe engagement in the
I middle of the channel, between the Island of Go
naib and Trou Corvet, (a final! inlet between
I Montrous and the point of St. Marc,) with 10
Ibarges, manned with negroes and molattoes, &
I armed with mufquets, fabres and boarding pikes,
jSeveral of these barges carried 4 pound cannon
• in their bows ; and the whole number on board
: of them amounted to about 4 or 500 —the hr
' gift ones carried 6c or 70, and the smaller ones
1 40 or 50 each. The Experiment had a convoy
lunder her prote&ihn, and was perfectly becalm
led.I ed. The intention of these barges was to board
:each of the vtffcis, and for that purpose they
I divided themselves into several final! squadrons.
I When they came within mufquet shot of the
4 convoy they commenced a very heavy fire from
I their great guns and mufquetry, which was in-
Iftantly returned from the Experiment, & three
, of her convoy, which made dreadful havoc a
mong them, & obliged them to retire out of the
reach of their guns. They were afterwards
joined by some other barges from the fhorc,which
took out the dead & wounded, & supplied them
with a reinforcement of men. They then di
vided thcmfelves into three squadrons, and in
* this order they rowed towards the bow of the
Experiment, which they determined, by one vi
gorous effort, to board and carry. During their
approach, Lieut. Maley made a very judicious
arrangement of his force, by placing a strong
body of mufquetry on her forecaftle and quar
ter deck, manning her oars on both sides, to
bring her starboard and larboard broadside to
bear as occasion might require, hoisting her
boarding nettings, and loading the great guns
ready to receive them. They advanced and at
tacked her en all sides; but by a well served
fire from the Experiment's great guns and muf
quetry, they were again repulfcd, after a severe
action of near three hours. During th ; s fecon'd
attempt two'of the barges were funk ; and in
the heat of the d&ion, two of them left the fleet,
and sheltered themfelvcs from the guns of the
Experiment, behind the schooner Mary, Capt.
Chapman, and the brig Daniel & Mary, Capt.
Farley, with a view of taking them. The firft
barge accomplished its obje& by boarding the
Mary and inhumanly murdering Capt. Chap
man, he being the only person found on deck,
the crew having secreted themfelvcs ; and the
other wa§ funk, by a well directed shot from
the experiment, in the a& of boarding the Dan
iel and Mary. As soon as it was perceived they|
had possession of the Mary, they were obliged
to abandon her, by a few rounds of grape fbot
being thrown into her from the Experiment.—
The barges then made for the shore, again land
ed their killed and wounded and took in ano
ther reinforcement. It w„ impossible for the
Experiment to pursue them, owing to the calm,
or for the vessels under her convoy to escape—
About 4 o'clock, P. M. perceiving that the
current had carried the brig Daniel and Mary,
and the feh'r Wellington, nearly out of the
reach of the Experiment's guns; they rowed off
a third time, with a determination to cut off
these two vessels. This being perceived by
their commanders, they camtyo a resolution to
abandon their vessels. their crews refufing to
fight, and too far diflant to be defended by the
Experiment. This was no sooner executed than
they were boarded, and rowed off in triumph-—
Every effort was made by Lieut. Maley to save
them by means of his oars, but without effect ;
he however, got near enough to reach the bar
ges with his round shot, which did them great
damage. The Experiment fuffered much in
her spars, rigging and fails ; but fortunately no
persons were killed on board of her, and only
two slightly wounded. Surrounded on all sides,
as these vessels were, by superior numbers, in a
perfect calm, and without being able to bring
all the guns of the Experiment to bear on the
greatest part of the enemy, too much cannot be
said in praise of the intrepidity, good conduct
and activity of Lieut. Maley, his officers and
men, in preferring the Experiment and two of
the convoy from the mcrcilefs hands of these pi
rates.
The number of barges which actually infeft
the coast, from, l'Archaye to St. Marc's is not
Ids than 37, and the number of pirates they
carry exceeds 1500.
LONDON, NOV. 29.

Ways and means.
Mr. Harper, from the Committee of Ways

following is a summary :—,

The amount of necessary fop
plies for the present year as
eftimated.ls,393^34 it!
Deduct one million, on ac
count of suspension of fur
ther enlistments i,oco,coo co
Add to this a suspension of
building the fix 74 gun
ships for the present year,
which the committee con
ceived it expedient to do 600,b00 66
i6,000,c00 00
Leaves a sum to be provided
for in the present year, of 13,793,034 11
To meet this expenditure, the
receipts of the present year
were estimated at 9,361,258 51
Deduct the revenue from the
aforefaid expenditure, would
leave a sum to be provided
for above the revenue of the
present year of 4,491,775 60
There remained in the Treas
ury of the last year's appro
priation - - 2,159,377 TO
But as a part of this would be
wanted for contrails yet re
maining due, and not more
than one million would be
left on hand towards this
year's expenditure which
deduced - - 1,000,000 00
Would leave a balance to be
procured, over and above
the revenue of- 3,491,775 60
The Committee reported that they had turn
ed their attention to the objed of revenue, but
had not decided as to their report and there
fore they thought proper to submit a resolution
to the House to authorife the President to pro
cure by loan for the services of the present
year the sum of 3,500,000 dollars, at such
rates as he may find most for the interest of
the United States.
The Report was ordered to he printed and
referred to a Committee of the whole House.
