(Letter IN Sunday paper, to Lord Mel
ville.)
Scarcely was your Lordship returned to
rest from the fatigues of your ekectionee7ing
c0mtaaign, when Mr.. Madison gave you an
opportunity of Signalling your proves by
sea as well as land. The British navy at
your command. amounted to ninc hundred
ana ninety nine sail, of every possible vari
ETY. of form and force, and costing the nation
annually about twenty millions Of money /!
+ Mr.. Madison could reckon. on his side
sic stonf JTigafes, besides four sEoohs Of
svGT! Such were the odds, when your
Lordsbip was first called on to contend with
him for the ENTIRE of me ocean What
are the glorious results? A fer nine
months continuance of hostilities, Mr.. Madi-
son has CAPTURED or destroyed three of our
Idrigates in single combat, while your Lord
ship has the proud satisfaction Of Boosting
that there sHH remain n,ne hundred and
nfresy-siT shihs Of gpar at your absolute
disposal MIR. Madison has INCREASED
his navy only o1e-hoif, while such has been
tie vigor and wisdom of your Lordship's
administration, that, contrary to all reason
able expectation, you have lost not quite
sne IN three hundred Drag, says the
proverb; is a good dog. but Holdfast is a
Better. Let Mr.. Madison brag of his hetty
gaina, while to your iordship belongs the gra-
itihcation of contemplating your immense sa
vfnSs What are three small frigates TO a
great nation like our own And as to the
crews, killed of Gas the late ingenious MIR.
