IL viii be recolectcd when The u. s. frig-
ates President and Congress discovered the
British friga,c Galatea, with her convoy, she
made signals for those vessels To shift for
the mselyes, and scampered of herself as fast
as possible. The time has been when His
MaIesly's frigates would scarcely run away
from any thing, Even our privateers would
hardly let vessels escape without cndeavoring
TO make out who they were. The British
have been in the Labit OF thinking that one of
their iriga,es was match for any too, of a.
other nation. A few more drubings, such as
they have received from HULL, JONES and
DECATUR, will bring them 10 their senses.
