Cipt-Boyce returned for answer, thffisihe
iccognised with -,pleasure, the exasting
Mltybetween the cwa countries, and was
tremely sorry for having'sired at us—that
he reasons which induced him to sire,were,
that he could not (liStinguish our colurs,and
aw no preparations for takingin sail : that
he had been informed that two French Pn'
i'silcess Were fitting out in the U. Statesss,
"fill supposed we might probably be one 0s
them. He also pledged his honor that, his

Planation was deemed by capt. Trippe suffi
(lent to prevent any further conﬂict; and
"instantly made sail, and proceeded on
01" course. The injury which we sustain
ed was trilling. Mr. Rodney's son was
"ka by a splinter from the boom, which
occasioned his mouth to bleed :! short time
si—no other person was touched.

inencan navy, and to his country.. The
man was prepared for assction with the
greatest promptitude and order, and the
