ADMIRAL: have the honor to forward to
you u certificate signed by all the commanding

upon this squadron, excepting only three, one
OF whom Is on duty at distance, and the 9TH

of the engagement, that two vessels were sunk,
~ set on FIRE, and the remainder driven away"
Your personal knowledge Of these gentle
men, and your entire confidence in their truth
and uprightness OF character, win give to their
statement the force that Is necessary to refute,
satisfactorily and effectnally, that which has
been given TO the world by the authorities In

act on their part, with foregone conclusions, to
draw up report that would prejudice our

events were seen by them with the distorted
optics Of prejudicod and partizan Witnesses.
The facts are so clear, both as to the dlspos-
tlon OF the blOckading squanron during the day
succeeding the engagement, and as TO the
amount Of damage done TO our vessels In 1t,
that Il does not admit Of doubt that these
