No.1. Itfans/zton, Va. June 12, l8l9.
Sir-—I havc_been informed, in Norfolk, that
youhave said that you could insult me with im-
puuity, or words to that eflect; If you have said
so, you will no doubt avow it, and I shall expect
to hear from you. I am, sir, your obedient ser-

Sir-——l have received your communication of
the'l2th inst. Before you could have been enti-
tied to the information you have asked of me,
you should have given tip the name of your in-
former. That frankness which ought to charac-
teri-.:e our profession required it. I shall not,
however, refuse to answer you on that account,
but shall be as candid in my communication to
you as your letteror the case “ill v.'ar.rant.

Sir-—Your communication of the Will instant,
in answer to mine oftlre l2th, I have rec;-ived._
The circumstances that urged me to call on
you for information requested in rnylezter, _would,
I prtsume, have instigated you,or any other per-
son, to the some conduct that l pursued. Several
gentlemen in Nor folk, not your enemies, nor ac-
, tuattd by any malicious motive, told me that such
a report was in circulation, but could not now
be traced to its orig)-in. I therefore, concluded
to appeal to you, sttpposina-‘, under such cir-
cunrttances, that I could not outrage any rule of
decorum or candor. This, I trust, will be con-
sl(lt)'?’.’(l as a just motive for the course I have pur-
sue»:T, Your declaration, if I understand it cor-

Sir-—-l had snppostd that the rmastire of your
ambition was ne'.:rl_v ccmpletcd, and that your
good fortune. had I‘enclel‘t:(l your reputx.-.tion for
acts of ma-grrarritnity too dear to be l‘l'sl~2t‘(l wan-
torrly on occasions that can never redound to the
lrnnor of him that would be r_.:,reat. I had also
such at-.for‘niatioti.
'<::.nclu(lctl that your rancor towards me was fully
satrsfrerl, by the cruel and unmeritcd sentence
passed upon me by the court of which you were
a member; and, after an exile from my country,
faintly and friends, of nearly seven years, I had
ccnciud=_-d that I should now be allowed, at least,
to enjoy that solace, with this society, that lacer-
atcd .-rulings like mine required, and that you
tvoulr have srrfferetl me to remain in quiet pos-
session of those enjoyments; but scarcely had I
set my foot on my native soil, ere I learnt that
the same malignant spirit which had before influ-
enced you to endeavor to rt.-in my reputation, was
still at work, and that you were rung-enerously
ti'aducin_g~ my character whenever an occasion.oc-
currr.-d which suited your views, and, in many in-
stances, not much to your credit as an ofliccr,
throug_;li the medium of our juniors; such con-
duct cannot fail to produce an injurious effect on
the discipline and subordination of the navy. A
report of this sort, sir, coming from the respecta-
ble and creditable sources it did, could not fail to
arrest my attention, and to excite those feelings
which might _naturally be expected to arise in the
heart.‘ of every man who professes to entertain
principles of honor, and intends to act in confor-
mity trith them. Vv’ith such feelings I address-
ed a letter to you under date of the liath June
last, which produced a correspondence between
us, which I have since been informed you have
endeavored to use to my farther injury, by send-
ing it to Norfolk by a respectable officer of the
navy,to be shewn to someol my particular friends,
with a view of alienating from me tbeir'attacb-
ment. I am also informed that you have taun-
tingly and boastingly observed, that you would
cheerfully meet me in the field, and hoped I
would yet act like a man, or that you had used
words to that effecti such conduct, sir, on the
part of any one, but especially one occupying the
influential station under the government which
you hold, towards an individual, situated as Iam,
and oppressed as I have been, and that chiefly by
your means, is unbecoming you as an oflicer and
a gentleman ; and shews a want of magnanirttity
which, hostile as I have found you to be towards
me, I had hoped for your ‘own reputation you
possessed- It calls loudly.for redress at your
hands: I consider you as having given the invi-
tation, which I accept, and will prepare to meet
you at suchtime and place as our respective
friends, hereafter to be named, shall designate. I

opinion be entertained by our friends, I flatter
myself, from your known personal courage, that
you would disdain any unfair advantage, which
your superiority in the use of the pistol, and the
natural defect of my vision, increased by age,
would give you. I will thank you not to put
your name on the cover of your answer, as, I
presume. you can have no dispositi_on to give un-
necessary pain to the females of my family.

Commodore Stephen Decatur. .
No. 6. W“"a._-./zingtolz, 31.:-.*,0ctober, 1819.
Sir : Your letter of the 23d inst. hasibeen re-
ceived. Prior to giving itjthat reply which I in-
tehthits contents sugtjesttlrenecessity of referring
to our June correspondence.
On the 12th of June last. you atldressed to me
anote, inquiring whether I had said that - I could
insult you with impunity.’ On the l7ll‘l June, I
wrote to you, in reply. as follows :——< \Vhatc-vet‘
I may have t/mug/it or suit! in t/zc 1»,-ry _/‘,-,.9m.,,;-
and free corzjuer-sations I hm.-c .’.'r.'d r'5.v,’2sC!iIIg' you
and your conduct, I feel a tliormrglr conviction um;
I never could have been guilty of so much ¢_-gm.
ism, as to say that I could insult you, or any oth..
er man, with impunity.’
On the 25th of.lunc, you attain wrote to me,and
stated, thatthe report on which you had ground-
ed your query of 12th June, ‘ could not now be
traced to its origin,’ and your letter is concltldccl.
in the following words: * your declaration, if I
understand it correctly, relieves my mind {mm
the apprehension thatiyou had so degraded my’
character, as I had been induced to allege.’ Im-
mediately on receiving your letter ofthc 25th of
June, I wrote to you, ‘29tlr June, as ftillmvs; 3 As
you expressed yourself (lr.-r.l)tft:ll}’ as to ymrr cor-
rect understanding of my letterol the l7tlr ,lI_‘.‘.l€,
l have now to state, and I requestyou to lltl(lr:'i‘-
stand, distinctly, that I meant no more than to dis-
claim the .s]Iec7_'/ic anti /.'a1'1,’icu/m‘ expression, to
which your inquiry was directed. to wit ; -11.33: I
had said that I could insult you with imp;.nity.’--
Here ended our June corresporrdence. and. with
it, all kind ofcommunication. till the date of your
letter ofthe 23d instant, which I shall now pro-
ceed to notice. .
Nearly four months having elapsed since the
date of-our last correspondence, your letter was
unexpected to me, particularly as the terms used
by you, in the conclusion of your letter to me of
25th June, and your silence since 1'ccei‘-rings my
letter of 29th June, indicated, as l tliought, satis-
faction on your part. But it seems that you con-
side!‘ yourself aggrieved by my sending our June
crmrespondence to Norfolk. I did not send the-
June correspondence to I\'orfolk, until 3 months
{had expired after your last communication. and
not then, until I had been informed by a captain
of the navy, that a female of your 'a.(‘.q‘.:t:lnl..rltCC
had stated, that such a correspondence had takcn
place.*‘* If that correspondence has, in any de-
2_‘=:c:, ‘ alienated your ft‘it:nds fru1‘n_}‘t:tr.’ :-'r.:t'h ef-
lect is to be attributed to the ‘cm':'c..-‘.puir:'r=_r.cc it-

With respect to the co...--. .......;.i ._,,,m N“,
for the affair‘ of the Clresapv.-ake, to \'.’lllC.ll you
have been pleased to refer, I shall not Il'§.dI the of-
ficers who composed that court, with so much.
disrespect, as to attempt a vindication of their
proceedings. The chief magistrate of our couri-
rry approvedithem; the nation approved them 5
and the sentence has been carried-into effect.—--
But, sir, there is a part of my concluc'~.,‘ou that
occasion, which does not appear irrevalcnt to re-
vive in your recollection. It is this, 1 was pre-
sent at the court of inquiry upon you, and heard
the evidence then adduced for and against you;
the-ncel drew an opinion altogether unfavorable
to you; and, whenl was called upon, by the
Secretary of the Navy, to act as a member of the
court martial ordered for your trial, I begged to
be excused therduty, on the ground of my having
formed such an opinion. The honorable Secre-
tary was pleased to insist on my serving; still
anxious to be relieved from this service, Idid,
prior to taking my seat as a member ofthe court,
communicate to your able :~.dvocar.e, general Tay-
lor, the opinion I had formed, and my correspon-
dence with the Navy Department upon the sub-
ject, in order to afford you an opportunity, should
you deem it expedient,to protest against my be‘-
ing a member, on the ground of my not only hav-
ing formed, but express-c-d an opinion unfavorable
to you. You did not protest against my being a
member. Duty constrained me, however un-
pleasant it was, to take my seat as a member : I
did so, and discharged the duty imposed upon
me. You, I find, are incapable of estimating the
motives which guided my "conduct in this trans-
action.
For my conduct as a member ofthat court,'mar-
tial, I do not consider myself as, in any way, ac-
countable to you. But, sir, you have thought fit
-to deduce from your impressions of my conduct
as a member of that court martial, inferences of
personal hostility towards you. Influenced by
feelings thence arising, you commenced the June
correspondence, a correspondence which I_ had
hoped would have terminated our communica-
tions. _
Between you and myself, there has never been
a personal difference; but I have entertained,
duct as an officer, since the affair of the Chesa-
peake, has been such __as ought to forever bar
your re-admission into the service. A _
In my letter to you ofthe 17th June, although
I clisavowcd the fmrticular cxfzressiorzg to which
you invited my attention, candor required -that I
should apprize you of my not having been silent
respecting; you‘. I informed youthat I had 'v_ery
frequent and free convcrsalion res/zecting you and
your conduct; and the words were underscored,
that they might not fail to attract your particular
and free conversations were, I should, with the
same frankness, have -told you; but, insteadoi.
