COMMODORE PORTER.
CHARLxsToN.

"A. CHARLhsToS, Eb' @os
We learn from Captain Doare, Of
the Revenue Cutter Marion, who arri-
we'd here yesterday, in three days from,
Key West, that the position taken by
Commodore Porter, at Key West, is as
much matter of choice as IL has been
supposed to be OF necessity. On the
18th of February the Commodore put
to sea with his whole squadron, CONSIST
ing Of the trigste Libertad, 40 guns, ist
lieutenant David ii. Porter, Captain,
brig Victoria, OF 30 guns, list Lietennant
Jose Msria Machin, Captain; brig Bra
70, of sguns, LIST Lieutenant WIN A.
Wyse, Captain; and the schooner Her
man, Of guns, ist Lieutenant Juan
Nance, Captain. The squadron had to
beat out against a strong wind and tide,
to cross the reef and reach the enemy,
and after succeeding IN coming within
five miles Of him, he set all sail, and
was soon out Of sight. Night coming
on. and the passage of the reef being
difficult in the dark, the squadron return
ed to its former anchorage. 80 much
for capture and blockade. The appre-
tensions of the friends Of our gallant
Icountrymau for his situation, will be
somewhat removed by the pernsal of
the statement of prizes taken by his
squadron, from which it appears be has
been highly successful in bis enterprises.
List of Prizes Briggs Hercules Ga
ditana and Nuestra Stenora del Carmen,
schooners Dicboya Carmen, Matilda,
Buen Wage. and Monteneza.
We are also indebted to Capt. Doane,
for the following statement, furnished
by a gentleman at Key West.
III has beer stated in the papers that
the American ship Canton was boarded
by the Conmodore's frigate the Liber-
tad. This Is not the fact The Canton
was in company with the Hercules Ga
ditano at the time she WAS captured, and
the first knowledge the Commodore
bad of the Captain being on board. was
when he presented himself to the Com
modore in the cabin OF the Libertad,
where he came voluntarily, bringing
with him his letter bag for the Commo-
dore's examination, which be, (the
COmmodore) declined.'
GENERAL ORDER.
The 2ad of this month being the an
adversary of the great founder of liber-
ty in this hemisphere, and from respect
to his memory, as well as to the nation
whose hospitality we now enjoy, it be-
comes our dlty TO pay the accustomed
honors on the occasion: Therefore eve-
ry vessel under my command, will, at
the usual hour, hoist in addition to the
Mexican Flag, the colours OF the Uni
ted States of America, at the fore top
