that the Prefi lent's proclamation had been received
the day lief ire, anti was in hopes that in a few days
all clifnu ec would be fettled. The fame evening
Captain W was hoarded off Cape Henry by a boat
from the Melanwnis (which frigate, and theTtiumph.

4 SIR.
In purfnanee of your reetell, I thus day went
down to the Eritifh ft:inaction Is ;wag b Hampti n
R ads. for the putt) fe of delivering the letter with
which I was charged to Captain D iuglas. On arriving
alongfule his (hip, the Belton*, I was invited on board
and received by Captain Douglas himrelf at the gang
vay. and conduCted to his cabin, where I found of
fembled all the Captains of the fqtradron. I imme.
informed Limn, that you had veQerday receiv-
ed a letter from Lim, the anfwer to which I had been
;eerie:led to deliver, and placed it in his hand. He
read the letter very attetrively, and then handed it
to Captain Hardy. from whom it patted to the other
Captains ir, fueeeflion. When they had al puttied
ir. Cain D tnglas obfervei to me, " I prefume,
Sir, yati are accpiaintei with the contentsof Iris let-
ter." I toll him I was perfcElly fn. He then Rated
that his letter muff have been mil-apprehended, that
it contained no ex weft rf menace which he recol-
lected, and that it certainly was not his intention to
tire. langtt age v.itich.c odd be c inftrued to convey fuck
i]eas. He referred to Captain Hardy, fat ing that he
Lail (hewn him the letter reyioufly to its being fent,
and hal iequeard Iris opinhin as to its fentimen's.—
Captain fl IT dy a snowed with Cap( tin Dcuglas in
the opinian and a'tjeCts of the communication. I then
remarked to 'hem the particidar expleffinns in the
letter, shish I conflicted as the language of threat,
:I'd adverted to the citcumflance of the words
It imme !iatelv annulled" heire underfcored. He
ft.itl, that this uridetrc ring muff have been t!o e by
lis clerk, vii.littia his direClian, and had efcaped
l.!s tilifer vatien ; hut again affitred me, upon his
Yonnur, that if any exprefilon in the letter wore the
Prrearance of a threat, it was not to be fu under-
I'
nod,
' Captain D mai is nest adverted to the ennclurion
of the letter, in v. hich the alternative of peace or war
is left to hirrifelf. He (*aid upon this fithjeCt, that he
lad no orders to commit any aet of }inanity, aid that
there was no min from whofe intention or willies
Inch an (die& was more ternote—that he was anal Cgs
to prefer ye the relations Of amity which had ezilled
betieeen the two G ,vernments, and that no at
of
bit (h ffild tend to interrupt their harmony, unlefs he
was orcleied by his function to perform Inch acts, in
which cafe, as an officer, he mini do his duty. He
repeated, however, that he had at prefent no Inch
orders, nor did he ezpeCt to receive inch. He Rated
that he had it in his charge Ite erally, to guard his
The, and thole under its piraefli in, from infalt
or
atrin:t of any kind, and that this in all Ilitrationa he
mutt oorrieitionably do ; but that any further meat
4nre Ire wAs not at prefent aiithnrifed, nor was it his
ins•ittion to take. I here Hated to him the many
intolting menaces which had been c immutiticated
its
Noif lk, as c ming Info him. He politively denied
ever having n tered any fucti—declared, if they had
be-n uteri by any 'if his officers, that they were unau.
thorizerl, and difapploved of by him. remarking, at
the fame time, that he hoped all who knew him would
do him the i jhice to believe, that lie was not in the
habit tit rifiag tine language of threat. He here too
again referred to an the officers to fay, if they had ever
'ward hint at any time, even while fpeaking confiden•
tially to them, to utter filch ezpreffions, and they
tuti;ted declaring that they had not.
• A deftiltnry convocation then tnrk place between
Captain Douglas, the other Capraiirs, and myfelt,
which continued nearly an hoist, in the mule of which
inane remarks were made, which had no reference to
the firlijea of your letter, or were in any way mince
ted vitt) it. Thefe, Sir, I have already communicat-
ed to your fell, and to all my fellow citizens, with
'whom I have converted upon this fithjetl ; but as they
are ant coaneeeil with the fubjelt of your letter, I
Fir dame it would he tinneceffary again to detail them
bete. Ir, the c ittrfe of this crinverfati in I &feinted
'in them. as well as I was able, the fentiment which
uaivercally prevailed through ut the effitritt y at this
time, the rattle from a herice it preeeeded, and the
'effsals it would produce, piovidcd any effort on their
Ivan !Tumid b: made to opp. fe the public refolves,
las in intercourfe or fupplies. I explicitly declared,
thit we had as yet received nn authority from our
Oiaretnnterit to proceed to acts aggreffion, but
that sae were authorized, and were prepared for
i!tfc flee, and for the protection of muleteer. and
Joni arty; to pr aye which, ?placed :11 the hand- of
t 'a, tail, ilnatzlto an extraB from the letter of
y error Ca ell m Brigadiet General Mathews, which
1 had made for that pturfe. I concluded by warn.
j-g hint again net to fend any of Iris officers or people
n funre, fit tl'at if he dii, the arms of the civil an-
t r, I did tot believe, would be able to prnteB
them trr.ra the `vsitgeance ot an enraged penple—that
ahis might le ist tin contCepiences which might p flibly
he yet aver ted ;'and i( tie was lineete in the rent's.
vents he bad eipS effect, he would be anaiiinst pe•
(riot IL.ch :e:ulti. Captain Douglas and all the Cap-

aim declared, that they were aware of the prefent
Hate of the public feelings, and deplored the circitni.
dances which had excited it—that they did not intend
to expofe any of their people to the refenrmant of
ours, which they could conceive wat highly it:filmed
—that as to lupplies they did not want any at prefent,
but when they did, they fltruld not attempt to pro
ewe them in any way which would excite the oppo.
fition of the citizens of this country.
• Upon the fubje& of intercourfe, he did not ca-
pe& to bald any with the pe"ple of this country, nor,
was there any occafion for it. lie only wilhed to he
permitted freely to cornmonicate with the accredited
Officer of his G vernment here, who had been for-
mally received and recognized by our Executive, and
whole funaions he prefumed none but the Govern•
ment had the right to put down. As to the parti.
colar manner in which this communication might be
carried on, it was a matter quite indifferent to him.
He had no objeflion to that being regulated by nue-
felves, in any Ns..iy which is judged proper, and that
he would certainly put fue the rnide which might be
ftiggefted as .rioff agieeable to us, provided the chan-
nel of communication was kept free and open. To
this I dated, that I had no authority from any perfon
to enter into any engagement with him ; hue that as
an individual I would flare, that the letters he had
forwarded under cover to you had been lately deli-
vered, and that therefore, 1 prefumed any other dif.
patches of a like kind would he treated in the fame
way. But upon this fribje6l, I could only refer him
to you and your affociates for information. He then
(fated that he would to day write an anfwer to your
letter, which he would forward as before, and I left
his (hip, Captain Douglas again repeating the fub.
(lance of what I have already hated.
From the moment I approached the Bellona, to
that on which I left her, my treatment from Captain
Douglas, and all his Officers, was marked by as
much attention, politenefs, and refpea, as any genie-
man ever received from others. My particular friend
Mr. James Taylor, jun. accompanied me nn hoard
the Britifh (hip, for reafons that will at once fugeetl
themfelves to you, when you remember the delicate
and embarraffing fituation in which I might be phi.
ced. He remained on board the whole time with me.
and was a witnefs to every thing which palled. I
have read to him this communication, Sir. in rude'
to afccrtain if my recolletlion was corral, and he
accords with me in every ilatement here made.
I have forwarded a copy of thi. letter to the Go
vernor of Virginia, and to the Federal Exectuive,
believing that at this time it is the duty of every ci-
tizen to keep his Government well Informed of every
thing which may be ufeful. I arn..refpeElfully, Sir,
