to any part Oft without any risk of an alta ck
from the enemy, although the whole of this
naval force was not collected at Kingston,
yet the force at the different batteries would
more than counterbalance the vessels that
were absent. 1t was thought by all the Off
GERS IN the squadron that the enemy had
more than thirty guns mounted at Kingston
and from 1000 to 1900 men. The ROYAL
George protected by this force was driven
into the inner harbor, under the protection of
the masketry, by the Oneida, and four small
schooners fitted out as gun boats; the Co
vernon Iompkins not having, been able to
join in the action until about snndown, ow-

For many years you have seen your coun-

government, although above all others de-
voted 20 peace, have been forced to draw
the sword, and rely for redress of injuries ON
the valor of the American people.
That valor has been conspicuous. pue
the nation has been unfortunate in the Sc

crinced by precipitate attempt to pass io

MEN OF NETWORK,
The present is the honr of renown. Have
you not a wish for fame. Would Won not

SIR,
Since the enclosed letter from the com
nodoie was written, the Growler has re-
turned with prize, and in her captain
Brock, brother to the late General of that
name, with the baggage of the latter. By
the prize we learned that the Earl MORA
was off the Fale Ducks, and the Commo-
dorc has put offin snow storm in the hope
Of cutting her off from Kingston.
From information received from captain
Brock, there is no question but that Kings
ton is very strongly defended. He express
ed surprize to find our vessels had got out
of the harbor after having been in it and
says that the regiment to which he belongs
is quartered there, 500 strong, besides O.
Their regulars and a well appointed militia.
The resistance made fully justhes this re.
port BE assured, sir, that in the action of
which the Commodore has given you an ac-
count, the national honor has been most a.
