U. 8. STEAM FRIGATE MISSISSIPPI,
AS BAY OF GIBRALTAR, Oct. I3, 1851.
Sir Having had the honor TO state that
though my return from England to Gibraltar,
and SO continuing my passage to the United
States, would require to be some twenty days
longer at sea, at the present late season, than.
to go directly from Liverpool to New York,
still would prefer TO go on board the Missis-
sippi frigate 10 the U. States, to any other
means OF passage, so highly do appreciate
this honor and this distinction You, sir. had
the highly obliging kindness to inform me thar
you will await my return here from England
in the steamer which leaves England on the.
1st of November next.
Thoug h felt very much panied at the idea,
that my most imperious duties forcing me 10
ask and to accept this delay, l may have aug
mented the suferings of the officers and crew
felt somewhat consolated at the conviction
that, leaving Southampton on the 9th, will.
be back again on the Cd of November, and
that you might yet reach New York before
the end of that month.
Unhappily, and quite unexpectedly, [ learn
now from the agency of the Oriental Company.
that the boat expected Tomorrow, on board Of
which intended TO embark for Eng land, makes
eleven days from Southampton to Gibraltar, as
has tn /, at CaHi nd I ,sbo
expect 10 land at Southampton before the 25ih,
and having to return the 27th, | had only one
single day 10 arrange my public and private
business.
On the other hand, the next packet boat not
leaving England but on the 7th November. and
making likewise eleven days TO Gibraltar,
could not be back here before the 18th of No
grant me yet this delay also, the Mississippi
could but on the second half of December reach
New York. @
Now, sir, you having requested me to take
into consideration that any longer delay here
would render my associates, as well as the Off
GERS and crew of this ship liable, on approach
ing your coasts at late season, to endure ex-
cessiyely severe and uncomfortable, cold and
stormy weather, consider il, under the above
said untoward circumstances, in honor and
conscience, my duty to be not to embarrass,yona
in your honorable cause for the comfort of all
you have on board; and not even to make any
request, the compliance 10 which would, OF
course, very much increase the sufferings, not
only of my associates, but also of the officers
and crew of the ship; which, indeed, would be
from me very regardless course, and very
bad appreciation of the friendly, kind, and hos
pitable manner, you, your officers, and the
whole crew, have treated me all the time had
the high honor to lie on board this ship.
With these convictions, aud TO enable you to
prosecute your yoy age without delay, feel
bound in honor and conscience on leaving
England SO soon as possible, TO take packet
ship for the United States, where hope to
arrive almost as soon as you, and prove TO the
people aud Government of the United States
how warmly wished to hasten 10 your gener-
Gus, hospitable shores.
am confident that the people and the Gov
ernment ofthe United States will appreciate
my motives, and approve the course needs
must adopt. Ihope they will pleased to-
consider tas il really isl this course as the en-
anation of my lively sentiment and careful so
licitude not TO misuse their generosity, by dis
regarding the important considerations 10 those
suflerngs which could not fail TO follow out OF
q longer delay and hope these circumstan-
ces (which nobody can regret more than oot
will alter those sympathies of your people,
which 1 take, and will forever hold, Tor the
chief honor, glory and nestiinabie treasure Oh
my life.
is that you may be pleased TO accept, Tor your
self as well as for the officers and crew OF this
ship the most sincere expression of my warm
eat thanks, for the noble, kind and generous
affection was honored With on board this ship.
The remembrance of il will be lasting trea.

and all who have the honor 10 do service to
their country under your command, on board
the Mississippi frigate, will bear to me kina
