des Debats of Wednesday, by Viscount de St. George,
the Captain of the Adonis, confirming the statement of

was any trial of speed between their two ships
" This morning I read in your paper a letter from
Captain T. Nicolas, who commanded the English frigate
the Vindictive, in the Pacific, when I commanded ha
Majesty's brig the Adonis. The letter contradicts aa,
article inserted in the Globe, relative to a trial of speed
between these two ships. I wish, like the captain, to de-
clare that the fact is untrue, which I should have done
sooner had I attached the slightest importance to the re-
port.—l)l6 ST. GEORGE, Capt. R.N."
