LONDON. July AZ.
The very important dispatches from
capt. Bingham, are at length published,
which it is unnecessary to recommend to
the public attention. They contradict
the account given by the American COM
modore, in every essential particular. and
in many they really disprove il. The
American (ev''ently most untrnly) de-
MES that he understood the ship, with
which he was engaged, was so much in
feriour to his own in strength, though he
before allows that he had reckoned the
guns in her broadsde as they were fred.
Mark captain Bingham's plain and intelli.
gible narrative: At one o'clock in the
day he discovers his antagonist TO be a
fiigate, and at halfp six he could clear
ly discern the stars in her broad pendant.
All this is natural and credible enough;
and it must be observed too, that cantaIn
Bingham wrote his despatch without
knowing the collateral circumstances
which com. Rodgers might detail The
former does not go out Of the way, for
example, to assert that the latter must
have known the comparative strength Of
the two vessels he merely describes ap'
pearances as they occur; and points out
as it were casually, the precise moment
at which he knew the strength Of the
American vessel. In consequence OF ti'Is
accuracy in subordinate particulars On
which com. Rogers asserts what cannot
possibly be true) captain Bingham cones
with unimpeached character to the maiH
point the firing of the first gun; or ia
Their, the asking the first question, So what
ship is that :" We first made the inqu'
ry, and having repeated our question. were
answered by a bl'oadside. There can, in
truth, therefore, be no doubt. hut thai
this was the case, both from the proba'
bility of the thing. and from the palpab'e
falsehood Of the evidence by whom tue
contrary is asserted.
Besides, why did the American chase
US for half day, which, taking her own
account, she did, and come up 10 us id .
condition prepared for action9 WY
according to her assertion, only to sa''
