Extract Of a letter TO the Editors of the Bali.
more American. dated Washington, april Ii.
Commodore Rodgers, and captains Porter
and Hull, have arrived in this city, and are
about organizing the navy board, of which they
constitute the commissioners. 1t is understood
that they have appointed, as their Secretary,
Lytfleton ". 7a1eSueil ESQ of Norfork, law
yer of considerable emlnefce. The station il
one OF importance. The board bears some re.
s"mblance to e.. British admiralty board, and
its Secretary, MIR: Croscr, is y member of Par.
Lament. Our navy in its civil as well as mill
tary character, is drawing around it an increase
of attractions and splendor.
1t is hoped and expected here. that all the
departments Of government will shortly assume
the same smooth and regular motions in which
they were conducted before the war threw the
whole machine upon the sea of experiment /; an
experiment not only necessary in its causes, but
which has contributed tc. consolidate our re.
publican institutions. The nation may rest as
sured, that the ability OF their present admin
istration, especially Of Madison, Monroe, and
DdLlds. is competent, amidst the most pressing
difficulties, to guide the vessel Of state in safe
ty and tranquility, amidst all the storms and
tempests it has bad to buffet"

SIR-Presuming that it is not unknown to
you, that the British officers then commanding
on our coast, had denied the right exercised by
this government last summer, in declaring you,
and the officers and crew of the frisate Essex,
discharged from parole, and that they had gone
so far as TO demand your SURF nder, and to hold
out threats of the consequences, should you be
met again in arms, have thought il due to
the occasion and to you. although the cores
pondence with Admiral Cochrane on that sub
ject was not terminated until after the peace,
to put you in the possession of the acknowledge.
ment ofthat officer, that his own government
had admitted the correctness of the course
adopted here

Holmes, to pass uanoticed With what
/ generous ardor of patriotism have these dis
tinguished governors contributed all their
exertions to provide the means of victory
The memory of these exertions, and of the
success with which they were attained, will
be to them reward more grateful than any
which the pomp of title or the splendour of
wealth can bestow
What happiness il is to the commanding
general that, white danger was before us,
he was, on no occasion, compelled to use,
towards his companions in arms, either Sc.
verify or rebuke. IF, after the enemy had
retired, improper passions began to shew
their empire in few unworthy bosoms, and
rendered resort to energetic measures ne
cessary for their suppression. the commando
ing general has not COMPOUNDED the innocent
with the guilty-the seduced with their Sc
ducers Towards you, fellow soldiers, the
most cheering recollections exist, blended
alas with regret, that disease and war
should have ravished from JUS so many wor.
tiny companions. But the memory of the
cause in which they persisted, and of the
virtues which animated them while living,
must occupy the place where sorrow would
claim to dwell.
Farewell, fellow soldiers. The express
sion of your generals thanks is feeble but
the gratitude of country of freemen is
yours-yOur's the applause of an admiring

Extract of a letter from the Commissary Gener al
ofpyisoners TO AG7,siydi Sir Alexander Coch.
rdne, dated, September q, 1914.
Preparatory to reply to that part Of your
letter, (of the 9TH Sept.) which regards the
discharge from Parole Of Captain Porter, and
the officers and crew of the United States late
frigate Essex, have the honor TO enclose you
copies of my correspondence respe citing that
mater with Colonel Barclay, as by the note am
nexed. Had you been possessed, sir, of the
facts there diciosed, am persuaded you would
not have made the objections, stated by you, to
the course taken by this government You will
perceive how directly the orders of your Admi.
rally, furnished by Col. Barclay, bear on this
case, and that he himself admits il.
However we may contsnd against the doe
trine laid down by that authority, as to releasr
es at sea, the right of the APPLICATION of the rule
on terms OF recprosity, will not be denied US |;
indeed it is invited.
The case ofthe officers and crew of the Java.
you will permit me TO remark, is materially diff.
ierent from that Of the officers and crew Of the
Essex the former we're captured on the high
as, brought into aneutral port, and by per-
MISSION TO Certain degree, at the instance of
the authority Of the country, delivered to the
British consul, and receipted for by him. Thsy
were not Paroled at sea, and sent home in
cartel ship, as you seem to suppose, but rsless-
I'd TO, and left with, the civil authority Of Great
Britain. ! send you copy of the receipt Of
hr. Lsndaman, the British Consul al st SALIVA
dor, to shew the fact the latter we're captured
in the Bay OF Valparaiso. used in the act Of cap.
ture however unjustiiable) as the high seas,
and we're released and paroled in the same bay,
not by any Intervention of the civil authority
OF the United States, or understanding with the
authorities OF he country, but by the act of
your naval officer Capt. Hillyar alone, which to
AL intents and purposes was the same as the
acts of other British naval officers referred to
by the communications of your admiralty in the
papers now furnished. As to that part of the
case which relates to sending home the officers
and crew OF the Essex in cartel constituted
by Capt Hillyar, it may he readily shewn that
your government, in similar cases, has released
the officers and crew from parole, and giVer
up the ships to the original owners"

Extract Of a letter from admiral Sir .llerasaer
Cochranc TO tie 6ontntissarp General of Pri
SoDerS, dated on board II 3. Majesty's shib
Ionnan', ~ the Chesapeake, tn September,
1914.
" observe, in the American papers, that can.
tain Porter, the officers and crew, of the late
United States frigate Essex, have been declar.
ed aosolved from their parole and free to serve.
an consequ,n nee of an order i-suei By the British
government. 1t IS my duty TO remark, that the
circumstances under Which captain Porter and
is crew have been permitted TO return to the
United States, differ very widely from those
under which releases have been granted on the
ground the order aiuIed to; and which be-
iieve YOU are aware was given to prevent the
Irregularities that at one period were consinu.,
ally occurring from persons being landed or re-
leased at sea upon parole by those who had no
authority for SO doing.
The officers and crew Of the Essex were sent
from foreign port for their own country in a
regular cartel, acknowledged and established
as such by Captain Porter's letter to Captain
H,liyar, dated the 5th of April, of which send
you copy.
The eHicers and crew of the Java, similarly
situated, were duly accounted for by nv gov.
ernmeDt Il is therefore incumbent upon me to
claim Captain Porter, his officers and crew.
and to call upon you to prevent their serving
against Great Britain until regularly exchan.
ged.
can assure you, sir, that it will be most
painful for me to meet with Captain Porter or
any of the officers or crew of the Essex serving
against Great Britain under the idea which /
entertain OF their deviation from the very solemn
parole they had given, and as cannot admit of
their being at liberty to serve, until their obga
ton is cancelled by the authority of my govern
ment, shall be glad ofyour early Communicate
on on this subject.
