we anchored here last night from Glbralter,
where we have been looking after the wreck OF
the Mlssouri-she is entire loss, having been
literally burned ou,;" nothing can be seen but her
iron and copper, and to save which will cost more
than It will come to. Unfortunately, she sunk in
but ~ feet water; drawing nearly 70, she obstruois
the anchorage materially which obstruction wo
will be compelled to remove. The Admiralty have
already written to learn what steps we propose ta-
king to remove the wreck.
| wrote you last from Palermo, on leaving which
we proceeded TO Trieste, touching AT Messina and
Ancona, in both OF which places we well receiv-
first American Man-of-War which had ever been
in the port we were treated with great hospitality.
They gave us a Concert and Ball. and treated us
very hospitality. We danced until some time in
the md-watch. When we went on board all hands

finer set OF fellows have never seen, setting down
at s =. M. and getting on board about rcreHh. We
were there but ten days, one week more and We

heavlng up and making sail, invitations continued
to come off, and the Governor liked us 30 much
that he sent an invitation to another dinner while
weighing anchor.
If you have never met with many English army
officers, You cannot conceive what difference
there is between them and the travelling English,
particularly those who intlict their company the
United States. After leaving Athens we sailed for
this place, touching at Tunls, .Trpol and Agiers;

place, and anchored last night Thus you perceive
we have not eaten the bread of idlcness this cum
