Mrs. DECATUR.
Bord,niotcn, Dec. IL, 1S26.
Nix DEAR Mns. DECATUR: The re-assem-
bling of the Honorable Congress OF the U. States,
renders il necessary to delay no longer answering
your esteemed favor of June last, in which you
request me to state such information, relative TO
the bun ming Of the Philadelphia in the harbour OF
Tripoli, az may possess in aid OF your claim on
our country for the success Of that gallant enter
prise, SO ably and honourably performed by your
late husband.
| regret that my limited abilities disqualify me
from pourra yng, in those glowing colors oi which
that act is susceptible, the gallantry and perseve
rance with which it was performed by my late
friend
You state that your late husband had given you
to understand that the project OF burning tina, frg
at her moorings, and thereby remove a serious i'm
pcdiment to the future operations of the squadron
against Tripoli, originated with him. This under
standing perfectly correct: it did originate with
your late husband and he first volunteered himself
to carry it into effect, and asked the permission Of
Commodore Preble, OF Tripoli, (on first discov-
ering the fsate los, to the sQuadron) to effect
it, with the schooner Enterprise, then under his
command.
The Commander in Chief, thought it too haz-
ardous to be effected in that way, but promised
your late husband that tie object should be carried
into effect proper occasion, and that he should
be the executive officer when it done. 1t was
accordingly effected in the ketch Intrepid, by your
, husband and seventy volunteers from the schooner
he commanded, great hazs,d, not only of life OF
liberty, but that of reputation, and in the
most perilous in approaching that coast. The re-
collection of the difficulties and dangers he had to
encounter in that expedition, of which was an
eye witness, excites more and more my admission
OF his galantry and enterprise; and though the
suit shed lus,re throughout Europe, over the A
merican character, and excited an unparalleled
emulation in the squadron, in our country alone is
where it has never been duly estimated, or properly
understood.
Courage and great force alone could not have
effected it. 1t was necessary not only to put the
smallest possible force to the hazard, but it's
depended upon very small force being used. The
genius and mental resources OF the executive Off
Gel could alone compensate for the want of force
and numbers. To these demands your late husband
, was found fully adequate, and hence tn brilliant
result. The FIisste was completely destroyed, ir
The midst OF the enemy, and his retreat effected
without the loss of a man.
Accept, my dear madam, the assurance Of my
highest respect and esteem,
CHAS. STEWART,
Capt l.. S. Navy.

VTTHEREAS lam convinced, by a late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has beer
engaged for considerable time past as regularagent
in the commission of more highhanded thcfts than
was first aware of, to the great loss OF my neghbors
and myself; and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasoned his eiopement on the 10th Of
November last; therefore deem it an imperative du.
~ to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularly of Shers, Constabcs, and PolccO Of
icers that this arful scoundrel may be apprehended
and that he and his concealed copartners guilt NAV
be brought TO condign punishment. do believe il
will appear, upon his apprehension that others more
guilty than HIMSELF have accomplished, by his agency,
their dishonest purposes For fear of naccuracy in
my last advertisement, win again describe his person
Norrage is about feet inches high about "a years
DID, of dark complexion, yet not of deep black co.
lor; regular features, somewhat bow-legged, yet of
good figure for his height. His dress at the time h,
disappeared, was roundabout and pantaloons, Of
dark twilled domestic cloth. He had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money, the fruits Of
his felonous agencies. The marks, however, of tl
ty-ve stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for utroci0us theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence will still show on NJ
back if examined Ills sober habits and apparent e.
deity, induced me TO grant him all reasonable ndu
renee previous to this He has been trained from his
infancy house servant, waiter market man, car.
rage driver &C. lie has attended me in Baltimore,
Annapolis and other parts Of Maryland. But he is
much better known in the District, and particularly
in Alexandria, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone 10 market, and purchased goods for family use.
From this date, if he be taken in the district within
ten miles of its line, within any part of Prince
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; fn any 9th.
err part of Maryland or Virginia, one hundred dolLrs
and if in any other place, State Country, whatev
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
costs and charges, if secured that get him again
Fifty dollars also offered for the legal vction
Of any person attempting to promote, by forged papers
or otherwise his escape. Against all persons harbor
ing or employing said negro, will enforce the furr
gor of the law.
