LITTIACT OF A LETTER OM s NiAllles, DAT= Fyi. 6.
This is to inform you of what you have ptubably
already learnt, that the English have been hand-
somely brushed at Datien with the loss of 170 killed
and wounded, and the balance of 300 made prisoners,
excepting 50, who made their escape in two barges ;
there were ten barges altogether. The manner in:
which they were received at New Orleans did not
exceed this. They calculate their loss at New Or-
leans at ,i,czio men, and had only six days' provisions;
this they ackno Nledge to be the fact. They are still
on Cumberland island, 'There they are erecting tiat-
teries in all Jirections. The brig Primrose is at
anchor about three miles from this.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
The following Message was, on Monday week,
transmitted by 'the President of the United States to
both Houses of Congress :
a To the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States.
a Peace having happily taken place between the
United States and Great Britain, it is desirable to
guard against accidents, which, during the periods
of war in Europe, might tend to interrupt it s and it
is believed, in particular, that the navigition of
American vessels exclusively by American seamen,
either natives, or such as are already naturalized,
would not only conduce to the attainment of that ob-
ject, but also to increase the number of vur seamen,
and consequently to render our commerce and navi-
gation independent of the services of foreigners, who
might be recalled by their Government, under cir-
cumstances the most inconvenient to the United States.
J recommend the subject, therefore, to the con-
sideration of Congress; and, in deciding upon it, I
am p rsuaded that they will sufficiently estimate the
policy of manifesting to the world a desire on all oc-
casions to cultivate harmony with other nations, by
any reasonable accommodations, which do not impair
the enjoyment of any of the essential rights of a free
and independent people. 'fire example on the part
of the American Government will merit, and be ex-
pected to receive, a reciprocal attention from all the
friendly Powers of Europe.
(Signed)
" February 25, 11515."
The Message was read, and committed in each
Souse.
