To the captains and cBicers OF the ma
vyof Chill: ...
GENTLEMEN,-As am now about
TO take my leave of you. at least for
time, cannot refrain IRON expressing
my satisfac ion at this cheerful manner
in which he service has been carried
on. the unanimity which has prevailed,
and the zeal which on all trying occa-
sioas YOU have shewn, These have
compensated me for the difficulties
which have had 10 contend with, and
which am confident have been such
as never presented themselves IN any
other service. Your patience and per-
severance under privations Of all kinds,
are such as Chill had no right to ex-
peet, and such as no other country ex.
periepces even from its own subjects.
In all maratlme states, the strlctest at.
tentiOn TO the necessitieS of officers and
men, regularity of pay, and adequate
rewards for services, are deemed ne
cessary, as indictments to perseverance
and the achievements Of effective he, ole
exploits; bat your exertiops and per-
formances have been independent Of
all these induce ments.
Gentlemen-Dy our united exertions
the naval power of the enemy In these
seas, though superior to our own, has
been annihilated, and the commerce OF
the Pacific is every where carried on
under the protection of the lndePen'
dent flag. To me 1t is mighty grst''y-
in TO reflect, that those services have
not been su!lied by any act OF lie
gality or improperly on our part; and
that while you have asserted the rights
of Chilli, and maintained and confirmed
