U. S. triple Conftitution, Syracufc Harbour, Feb. 7, 1144:
Joys Gsviro, Efq. Conful of the dotted States at Gibraltar.

Deus Sia—l have the pleafure to announce to you the pleating
intelligence of the capture and deltrudion of the Tripeline frigate
of 40 guns, late the United States frigate Philadelphia, by the
United States ketch luiretd, of 4 gene and 7o men, commanded
by Captain Die aaaaa of the Enterprise, who volunteered his
fervioni on the occafion. It is to be regretted that Ow was fo fitu-
ated that it was inipollible tu have brought her out.
On the 3d 'nitwit t►e arii.Syren, Copula Brower, and ketch
Intrepid, of 4 finny eel Inc the purrafet and commanded by
Captain riccA rola* with, jo volunteers from tbe Nuadroa, failed
for Tripoli, with ordeal° burrlebasightein that harbour. This
day they returned, bevies emitted my orders much to my fag-
failion. On the night of the iPtla, Captain Daceere a a entered
the ►arbour of Tripoli with the ketch, laid her along fide the (ri-
sme, and In a gallant and adca.tlka manner, boarded and carried
her mina all oppefitiao. After gaining complete poffellien, he
proceeded to fire her with fuecefs and left her in a blaze, In which
the continued until the was totally confumed. He had none killed,
and only one wounded. The 'Fripohnes had between ao and 30
men killed on the deck. One large boat load made their cfcape,
Come men ran below and periated in the flames, but the remelt
part jumped overboard t the war moored dare to the batteries,
with all her guns loaded, and two of their corfairs full of men, lay
within half 'intact Cam of her. A fire was kept upon the ketch
►y the batteries, Satiates Cattle, and corfeirs; not a mufket or
piftol was fired by our men, every thing war fettled by the fword.
The Syne anchored without the harbour, to cover the retreat
of the ketch, and Cent her boats to alit; bot, unfortunately they
did Dot arrive in legion, as the bufincfs was aecompliihed, and the
ketch cm her way sot before the boats met her. Had they got in
loaner, It is probable lonic of the Tripolitan corfaln would have
(hared the fate of the frigate.

Very refpedfully i am, Dear Sir, yoer obedient 'errant,
(Signed) ID. MILE.
