Commodore Bainbridse has learnt with real sor-
row the death of Capt. Lambert. Though a politi-
cal enemy, he could not but greatly respect him
for the brave defence he made with his ship-and
Com B. takes this occasion tn observe in justice
Lieut.. Chads, who fought the Java after capt. l..
was wounded, that he did every thing for the de-
fence of that shp which brave and skiiful officer
could 10, and that further resistance would have
been wanton eifnsion OF human blood.
