frigates :---: • .

" The crew of the French frigate was com
posed entirely of marine Conscripts. The oldest
seamen on. board haring been tlrnyi'n from the
Conscription it.f 1807, hid seen conSetptently only
five years' serviec. This trigate hall no twenty -
four pounders, consqttently none caullil have been.
used' in the enagement. Captain Irby's _asser-
tion., in this respect, is false. The crew certainly
did their duty ; and the.iesult is proof that ail
the prediOnnts of time rising.glory of the French
martne 'he realized.- Had Captain Irby dared
to ri,:nete the action' he 4ould have been taken.-
