have the honor to inform you that
the U. States Sloop of War Peacock ar
rived at this place On Monday even

90 AS by the arrival of the Tom Bow
line and Hornet, you have been made ac-
quainted with our transactions up to the
29th or April, shall commence from our
separation from the latter. IN Nav, we
reached the Isles Of St. Paul and Amster-
dam, (our second ren1ezvous) where VIC
found letter for us, which had been left
a few days before BY the Macedonian brig,
informing us of the Presi 'ent's action and
probable capture Here I had intended
remaining some time, to rejoin the Hor-
net; but being carried to leeward, in
chase of strange sail, we were not able
to regain them and were at last Compel
ed by very severe gale to bear up, and
on the 8th of June made the Island of ia
va. From that time until the 29th, we
were Cruizing in the Straits OF Sunda,
where we made four captures two of
which were burnt, third was given up
TO carry $50 prisoners into Batavia, and
the fourth released, as from her we leara-
ed that peace had been made.
From the different captures, we OBJ
tanned about fifteen thousand dollars in
specie, and gold to the amopnt Of four or
five thousand more. We have on board
ten chests of opium. The first prize was
loaded with pepper, and few bales of
coarse goods for the Malay market some
of which Gas we had no room to stow them
away We distributed amongst the crew,
as they were much in want OF thin clothes.
OF the money, five thousand dollars were
divided by me amongst the officers and
men, not one of whom had previously
dollar the remainder has been eX-
pended in the disbursements of the ship.
From Java we proceeded to the Island
of Bourbon, where we procured bread and
other articles, of which we were much in
want, as we were on an allowance of half
pound of bread per man. From Rour-
bon, which we left in August, we made
the best of our way to the United States,
touching for a few days at St. Helena
We understand that the following rer
sons have been appointed by the King of
France and recognized by this government,
viz:
M. FRAMERY D'AMBREuco Consul
General of His Majesty, the King Of
France and Navarro, for the port of Phil
adelphia.
NJ. CAzEAUx, Consul for the port of n.
York
NJ. GUILLEM1N, Vice Consul for the

Erfyaet ofa letter from an american Off
Ger 10 hi$jTiend in Baltimore, dated
fDetroi, Oeioberl2.
There was a trial here last week,
which, in its effect, is of national conse-
quence. A lieutenant in the British navy
undertook TO take some deserters on our
side, with party of armed men, some of
whom he landed and caught one of his de-
serters.-Some OF our citizens assembled,
surprised the sentry, and finally obliged the
officer to go to Detroit, where he was com
PEELED to give bail for his appearance. He
was tried according to law, by Jury of
in verdict that the officer had not taken
the deserter by force that he had told
him to go into the boat and the fellow went.
From the positive evidence heard, aud
from an after conversation with the Judge,
| think there could be no reason in the
world to have acquitted him of that charge.
They, however, brought him in guilty OF
riot, and he was fired by the court or
$500. Chief Justice Woodward, who gave
the sentence, said that this punishment
was the sentence of the other two Judges
that he differed from it, and that the Lieut.
ought to be also piIloried and imprisoned.
" AS circumstances occurring here, are
reported to the United States merely by
letter, and often misre represented, it may be
well to inform you, that one of cur soldiers
shot and killed an Indian last week, for
impudently dwelling rife at party OF cur
soldiers. The circumstance has made
some noise here as the Indian was under
the protection and charge Of Ills Britannia
Majesty. The British have brought in a
coroner's verdict Of murder; and some let
ters have passed between Col James and
Gov. Cass. Our governor has been pretty
severe with his pen, and treated the But
wark' rather roughly. The affair, howev-
er, is dying away"

1.-THE British civil authority have offer
cd a rcwrrd of $500 for the apprehension
Of the soldier who killed the Indian This
will inevitably set the indians on the hunt
for him. But to prevent any i'll consequent
ces, the General viii send to- Col. James a
very spirited remOnstrance, and threats Of
