Of War tine iicloea, captain foall which
sillrd from this port about the 10Th nlt
had the pleasure Of writing to America,
! by way OF Gibraltar.
The Cyane, III company with the Erie
leit that place on the 2oth AmIl, and arai
wa at Nahon after quick passage of -
hous. Our old ship heretofore not very
Famed for fast sailing, has acquitted her
self excellenily we'll, . running across the
Atlantic in ID days, aud from Gibraltar To
Mahon Keeping weigh with the Erie, one
OF The finest ships Of her class, that ever
l"a,ed the Vastly deep" We have been
for slime weeks past hauled into the Navy
Yard, undergoing general repairs, which is
now completed and we shall sail from
This To Genoa in three or four days. The
Eele has been despatched to AS,ers she
viii continue her cruise 10 Tun,s aud Tro
poll, aud riding out her quarantine at Nal
"a JOIN ms al Naples.
The officers aud crew of the ship are in
dihiduaIly we'll and believe may ex-
tend this remark To the squadron.
Upon our arrival AT this place, we found
the Uatch squadron under the command
Of ar admiral iiuylch, distinguished of
icer in his Ncthrrlaud Majcsty's service,
CONSISTING of the Wassenlar, line of battle
ship, ffiSatc Seheid, corvette uecla, and
brig Pelican. The Holland line of battle
ship, bearing the pendant Of rear admiral
w ttcrbrek, arrived here on the 9th Inst.
designed IN relieve admiral Ruylch Al
mlral Walterbrek visited our snip ycster
day under a salute of seven guns. The
sam number our commodore received in
visiting the Holland. am rejoiocd that
our post captains support their di, nifty in
this particular, as they have fro my
made sacrifice of several guns, when pay
ing their respect 10 ships displaying an adj
ni,aP5 insignia do not intned To discuss
this subject but will simply remark, that
while post captains the highest naval dis
lnction known to the American service, To
stppurt our rational dignity, they must o.
necessity grade with the most dstIaguish-
ed rank vi any other naval power. The
Dutch squadron is calculated 10 command
considerable respect IN these seas and
regret that some of our fine ships are not
Displaying the " stars aud Stripes upuu
this station. IT has been the wonder of the
Dutch officers With whom have had in
tercodrse, that so small ,sssrl ~ the Gy
