 We have already alluded to report that ! was current, of serious misunderstanding between the Secretary of the Navy and Com modore Rodgers. We learn from the New Brunswick Times that the origin of the dfi~ cnlty was a determination oD the part of .!:: Secretary to sell Old Ironsides-Athe frigate Ccssiitution. as unwOrthy of repairs.
