" We remained at Malaga about two
days, and then returned to Gi6raltar-here
we were joined by all commodore Deca-
tur's squadron, except his own shin. Our
fleet now consisted of the Independence.
Macedonian, United States, Constellation.
Congress, Ontario, Erie, Enterprise, Chip
pewa, Saranac, Boxer, FREELY. Elambeau.
Torch, Spitfre, Spark aud Lynx. It was
a proud sight for au American to see in a
Britain port; just at the close of war with
her, which the English thought would have
been the destruction of our navy. squad
ron Of seventeen sail, larger perhaps than
our whole navy at the commencement of
that war. ut Malaga the Governor wait
ed on commodore Bainbridge on board his
ship, an honor which he had never deien-
ed to pay any Admiral before. Onour ar
rival at Gibraltar the commodore fired a ga
lutte OF Seventeen gus, which was return
ed with fifteen. Commodore Bainbridqe
Immediately sent an officer on shore to in
form the lieut.. governor, that he had fired
seventeen guns, and expected his salute to
be returned GUN for GUN, and he therefore
demanded that rwo more guns should be
Immediately fired. The lieut.. governor
apolOgised, aud fired the other two guns.
Thus you see, my dear ----s that an Ame-
rican commodore can now demand respect
from those who formerly would scarcely
have noticed him.

the American character has gained by our
late WARS. The Spanisrds especially.
