Il asked his motive for having fred at all ,
His reply was that I" zoe fired the first gun
at aim (; svhich pas Eosinvefy nor she case. y
cautioned both the officers and men 20 be
particularly careful, and not suffer any more
than one man to be at the gun. Nor is it
probable that a sloop of war, within pistol
shot OF large a. gun frigate should COM
mencc hostilitics. He offered me every as
sistaree stood in need OF. and, submitted to
me that had better put into one of the
ports ofthe u. S. which /, Immediately de-
clined.
BY the manner in which he apoogised il
appeared TO me evident that had he fallen
in with a British frigate, he would Certainly
have brought her to action. And what
further confirms me in that opinion, is, that
his guns were not only loaded with round
grape'shot. but with every scrap of iron that
possibly be collected.
| have to lament the loss of 80 men killed
and wounded, among whom is the master.
His Majesty's ship is much damaged 10
her masts, sails, rigging & hull, and as there
are many shot through between the wind &,
water. and many shots still remaining in =.
side, and upper works all shot away. star
board pump also, I have judged it proper to
proceed TO Halifax. which will hope meet
with your appreciation.
/ cannot speak in too hign,terms of the Of
ficers and men have the honor to con, mand
for their steady and active conduct through
out the whole OF this business, who had much
to do, as q gale of wind came on the I'd night
after the action.-I have to- request, sir,
that you will be pleased to recommend to
the notice o! my Lords Com miss:oners ofthe
Admiralty my first Lieut. NJ. John Moien
ly. whois, in every respect. a most excel.
lent officer, and afforded me very great as
sistance in stopping The leaks, himself, in
the gale, securing the masts and doing every
thing in his power. 1t would be the greatest
injustice was no':,lso to speak mos, highly of
Lieut.. Lowell, second Lieut.. Of Mi. M'Queen
master, who. as l have before stated, was
wounded in the right arm, in. nearly the
! middle of the action, and Mr.. Wilson, Mas

officer and man was so good that it is
impossible for me TO discriminate.

"rhese fellows charged in turn, threw
the British in confusion, and did much da-

bodies of the wounded and would give no
quarter. Some of the B. regiments of in :,

nothing from the armies of consequence at.

offered by neutral vessel of war to the
