I held. out to the Officers and men (volunteers) en-

men on board the Tonnant that were ready Volun-
teers to undertake .the service, and that be offered
hitnseirw have the direction of executing that ser-
vice; I infuriated hint that their Lordships had fixed
upon Lord Cochrane for the purpose. On which
Rear-Admiral Harvey declared to me in the most
violent and disrespectful manner, and desired me to
consider. it as an official communication, that if he
was passed by, and Lord Cochrane or any
.other
junior Officer appointed in preference, he should
imnicdiately desire to strike Itrs,ffag, and resign his"

" I informed him I should besorry be should take
such a strotigineasure, and that the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty having fixed on Lord Coch-
rane, and directed me to :employ him upon this ser-
vice, I Coiald not deviate from their Lordship? orders.
The, Rear. Admiral, upon this, continued his ve-
hement and insulting latignage. to Me, and stated
how much he had been neglected for his former ser-
vices, both by myself when holding a seat •at their
Lordships' Board, as well as by others-of their Iserd-
ships' predecesiors there ; that he had not been
rewarded fertile eminent services he -had 'per-
formed, and and after such violent inventive,
and' a continuation of insulting gestures and len-
page, under which I' beg to assure their Lordships
I preserved my temper and calmness towards hint, he
declared that he had differed with me. in opinion
.with. tvsped to .my conduct-, in the command of -the
fleet; that he could'irnpeach me ter misconduct and
bad management, and ended by :saying, with the
same insulting tone
and manner, that he wo Ad go

further detail respedting the disrespectful condua of
Bear-Admiral Harvey Jowaids we, but only say,
that I never in my. life received so much insult to
wound my feelings so sharply, .as on the present oc-
casion. I must add, however, that I have uniformly
sliewn the Rears Admiral that respe& and attention

to appeal to all the Officers under my Command,
that the service since I 11:1Va been in the command of
the fleet has been concluded with the greatest liar-

Caledonia, in Basque Roads, April 4.
Smt-..—Sinae I 'Hosed my Letter to von this
morning (No. 88), stating the conduct of Itt:ar Ad-
miral Harvey yesterday, it has come to my know-
ledge, .that he has in many instances spoken of me
in a MONI contemptuous and disrespeatul tanner to
several atiket's in' the Fleet, and done so with that
publicity, that it cannot fail to hayo ben dissemi-
nated amongst the inferior Cttliceis ancrteameil 'an-
der my command.

It is truly painful tame, particularly tinder the
circumstances of an approaching enterprize, that
lauguage—L'hould have been Used by any oile Calcu-
lated to subvert die confidence and discipline; and
to militate so mut against the proceedings 'of the
public 'service; more espeCially 'Oat it should' Dave

cond in command.
