took place about the end Of Sept. Not

I TIE following erfracs Of a letter from, a

.Jacfs not generally kysozpa.
-" can now state to you POSITIVELY. that
the ex-bashaw in formal note to Mr.
Eaton has expressed his acqniescence in
! the treaty, aSd in strong unequirocal LAM
guaGe has made mis- acknowledgements Tor
the services rendered him by the. Ameri.
can government, admitting az .ihe same
time that, falling in every thing that was
expected on his part after they had reach,
ed Derne, he could not reasonably and
| therefore old rot expect continuance of
their cooperation. His note concluded
! with thanking the chisf of America and
all his servants for their friendly aid and
intentions. This note was sent 10 ---

! with respect 10 the ransom, hlr. Lear
held out ten days, and until il was finally
oeaeved that without it the three hundred
| prisoners would not be released. The Ba-
shaw admitted that he would not contend
with such force, and that he should be
compelled to abandon his city, but repeat.
ediy and vehemently declared that il the
Americans were ben, upon destroying
his town, his Notifications, his shipping,
his fame, and every thing Tripoiitan,
they must expect in return that he would
destroy every thing that is American with

ierocious manner that haying killed his IA
iheF and a brother, he shall not have any
! scroples in killing fen inadsls.
| The officers have seen, who were pri-
soners, are clear and decided In The obi

with his own safety have delivered up the
prisoners without ransom and that if
Mr.. LEAR persisted, very little resistance
would have been made TO our SQUADRON :;
