Gentlemen have the honor Ia ackBow.
Iege the receipt Of your letter conveying the
thanks OF the masters of the American vessels
al Gibraltar, for services rendered by his Ma
Jesty's naval fOrce IN The Bay on Sunday eve
ming last, in conjunction with officers belong
ing TO the Royal Welsh Fusileers, with Others
Of his Majesfy's 43d Regiment, who happened
casually at the time to be on board his Majes-
iy's ship under my command.-Those officers
simultaneously volunteered their services. and
with the greatest Zeal and promptitude push
ed off with the ships boats and were as for
ward and anxious TO afford assistance to the
American ship Nancy which had unfortu-
nately taken ire at this anchorage, as we our
selves, and permit me to add likewise, in JUS
tice to those gallant officers, that il their exer-
lions were not on this OCCASION equally eiIica-
c'ous with those Of our tars, il must be aftrib
uted solely to the want of experience on an
element so foreign to their general occupation
10 reply to your letter, beg leave on the
part Of myself and the respective officers and
sramen Ut both ships employed on the occa-
SION, to express nur most sincere and grateful
thanks for so fatteriug mark OF your at
tention, more particularly the gentleman who
so handsomely conveyed to me the sep,i-
menfs Of their fellow citizens, together with
those who in support Of our pretensions have
done us the honor TO confirm them BY their
signatures; and avail myself of this oppor-
tunty to assure you, that shall ever feel
most sensible az the very handsome manner
in which the American mercantile interests At
this port have thought proper To acknow ledge,
as well as appreciate our efforts ON the disas-
trous occasion.
Permit me at the same time, To- observe
that those efforts originated in sense of
duty which we conceive the ties of consan-
gunty and friendship, so happily existing
betw cen our two independent nations, rem.
der imperative and compulsory and in
consequence Of the flaiteriDg way in which
you have thought prsper to notice our exer-
tons aud eulogise our conduct, must be at
Iribu,ed more TO partiaiiiy and congenia sen
iimeBf, than to either merit or desert, more
particularly as we feel confident americans
would, with equal promptInde, energy and
perseverance have acted towards an English
ship, similarly circumstanced rs we did to-
wards yours. We, therefore, under this per-
suasion do not conceive oorselve5 entitled to
any particular notice or applause, and can only
