SIR-Faking into consideration the i'm
mense distance we are from our respective
countries; the unce rtainty of the future
movements of His Majesty's ships under my
command, which precludes the possibility
of my making a permanent arrangement
for transporting the officers and crew late
of the Essex to Europe and the fast ap.
preaching season which renders a passage
round Cape Horn in some degree danger
Gus, | have the honor to propose for your
appreciation the following articles, which |
hope, the government ofthe United States,
as we'll as that OF Great Britain, will deem
satisfactory and to request, that should
you conceive them sc, ycu will favor me
with the necessary bond for their fulfill
ment.
LIST. The Esse- Junior to be deprived of
all her armament ard perfectly neutralized
Ito be equipped for the voyage solely and
wholly at the expense of the American go
vernment and to proceed with a proper
American officer and crew (of which | wish
to be furnished with a list, for the purpose
of giving the necessary passport) to any
port of the United States of America that
you may deem most proper.
Cd. Yourself, the officers, petty officers,
seamen, marines, &c. composing your
crew, to be exchanged Immediately on their
arrival in America, for an equal number of
Births prisoners of similar rank. Yourself
and ofiic ers to be considered on their parole
of honor until your and their exchange shall
be effected.
In case of the force Ding articles b eng ac-
cepted, the Essex Junior will be expected
to prepare Immediately for the voyage, and
to proceed ON 1T before the expiration of the
present month. Should any of the wound
ed at that period be found incapable of re-
movai, from not being sufficiently advanc-
ed in their recovery, the most humane at
tentions shall be paid them and they shall
be forwarded home by the first favorable
conveyance that may offer.
have the honor to be, &c.

of their being ennallv so To mu ooantrx.
