position. when the Pontone and Tenetinscame up and their helm
took possession, the whole of the Didymium's boats having hen
destroyed.
" On boarding the President the loss was found to be upwards
of 100 killed and ws unded, of a complement of 52 men; the.

wounded.—Pavt cf Commedore Decatur's nose is shot away.
" Endytnion's loss was 11 killed and 15 wounded—not an of-
Geer of the number. The principal damage she sustained was

cannot conclude without expressing our admiration
of the superior conduct of Captain flupe, his Officers,
and ship's company, not only during, but subsequent
to the action ; by their valour they have removed a
transient tarn'sh, which the loss of two or three badly
manned and worse fought ships (except the Java)
had occasioned, and convinced the world, 'hal ig
British friate of the rime class as the Endyniins.
when 6 well lined' and ably commanded, is a match
fur any one-Jerk ship in the world ; and the extraor-
dinary circumstance of turning the hands up to bend
sails immedi ttely niter the conclusion of so severe an
acti‘in, is in itself a higher panegyric than language
can express."

We understand that 41 the American Commis-
sioners lately engaged ifl the Treaty at Ghent are
preparing to proceed to tlgscoun:ry. and the purpose
of their visit is supposedto he to follow up the work
of pacification by commtircial arrangements. They
are already provided with passports, and the Ameri-
can ship the Neptune, which is at Br, st, has the pri-
vileges of a cartel for their safe.e,,nveyance.
