press an opinion at the time:
UNITED STATES SHIP FRANKLIN.

GENTLEMEN: l observed i'm your paper of
yesterday, some remarks on the arrival of the
United States ship Franklin, under my COM
mand.
The estimation in which you profess to hold
me, as there declared, entities you to my ac-
acknowledgements thanks; as, also, that YOU are
a mohS those editors who have from as
sisttne III the 'scircuaion of those discreditabIe
rurnors,"to which you allude. However much
may lament the public and private circulation
OF such reports OIL my own account, tl,rorpl,
inaievolence, envy, or ignorance, during am alb.
sence Of three years, distant from the point of
circulation four or five thousand miles. both nc
respects my own personal s. official reputation.
as established through course of ariuous SER
vice, IN period of twenty six wears, thronrh
three wars, and fifteen battles, cannot but re-
greet still more as a native patriot of these Uni
ted States, the injurious effect of those rcnorts
abroad, on our national and naval character, as
well as the exhibit it will make of the want of
zens, the elitors in thus representing national
officer IN highly responsible command, on diff.
hcuit and delicate foreign service.
The rurnors to which you allude have never
before reached me: but they are, understand.
OF such nature, that if only one half of what is
charged had been committed BIZ me. assure
you, this country would never again have borne
my footsteps, or YOU have been troubled with
these remarks. Should, however, there appear
any Just grounds of complaint against official
duties, or conduct during my command in the
Pacific. they ought to be exhibited TO the exec.
utive branch of the government, who. has the
power, and knows too well how much it com
ports with the interests of the nation, and the
honor oil the government not to institute such
enquiries, or require such explanations as shall
s tlsty Themselves and the country of the Justice
