‘Vile believe it is not generally conceded that

l8l_2, a squadron consisting of three ffigates and
two sloops, was lying in the port of New-York‘
ready for sea under the orders ‘of -Commodore
Rodgers~.—'l‘hat oflicer i_minediately went out in
quest of the enemy ; and doubtless was ‘of much
service, in compelling the British to unite their
force, and in lessening the danger to our scatter-
ed trade. But a few weeks of activity and pre-
vious care. might have increased that squadron
to seven. frigates and "as many slonps of war; a
force at -that time, competent to the blockadeof
both Halifax and Bermuda. - This although a
miniature picture, would have exhibited some
ofthe usual aspects of war, and it may be safely
asset-tedwould have preserved an-'im'mense a-
mount of property then afloatand at the mercy of
the English cruisers. No such" l'oi'esi‘ght howe-
ver, characterized the Navy deparimc_iit and the
ii-iaiitinie war became, like the struggle on the
land at a later day, a series of splendid and victo-
zrious conflicts, but little connected with the ob-
ject of the contest and affording brilliant instan-
ces of discipline and courage expended in separ-
ate and unavailing combats, producing P0111103
but renown to the actors, and from them,’ a reflect-
ed lustre on their country. I ~_«- - ‘ s
The first action of any n'l0fl'IE_I'|t,_l;Wl1i6ll occur-
red, was between the Constitutionand Guerriere.
-This was a fight extremely fair.in circumstances,
both ships being completely prepared for the com-
bat : theone seeking, and the other notavoiding
it. Contrary to all expectation the result was de-
termined in much less time than was anticipated
by the victors.thc-niselves and with a disparity of
loss totally dispropoi-iioned to the difference of
force in the two vessels. In size, the ships were
nearly equal ; in guns, the Constitution had the
advantage of two in her broad sides; and in met-
al on the gun deck, it was nominally in her favor
as four iothrce. -This was certainly a material
advantage, and when aided by a difference of 170.
men, such an one as would make it discreditable
to the American arms not to have conquered.
The merit of Capt. Hull was in overlooking the
reputation and moral superiority of his enemy ac-
quired in along course of victories, which had
made him a stranger to defeat, and had nearly
driven every foe, less adventurous than himself
from the ocean. iHad the case been reversed,
ll)_t: American captain could not have led down
upon his enemy with more confidence, or done
his work in a more masterly style» than did C3131-
Hull, in assailing what "was the exact; ship ofthe
cneiny in these seas. ' To all but nautical men,
conversant with causes and effects in marine_ser-
vice, the conclusion of this engageinent seemed.
as the concurrence ol'_ untoward ‘circumstances,
which for a novelty had united, to accomplish
the defeat of those whom. fortune had hitherto
‘kept unacquainted with the’ disaster; and it was
universally expected that another conflict would
specdilyrrestore the laurel to the brow of Britan-
nia. But to the moral courage of American sca-
"men, was added consummate discipline: And
- the size of their Navy, forbidding" that men ofin-
sufficicnt qualifications should obtain command or
confidence, the excitement from the glory of the
first combat gave it stimulus to the"ir character,
WlllCl‘l'Wlll‘ probably endure for ages. To Capt.
Hull belongs the honor of having broken the first
lance successlullyir; and it isnot the least worthy
of notice in this war, that. the first combat was
charactet;ise'd by the some skill, the same confi-’
dence in the victors, and the saymeardor to meet
the enemy, as distinguished thelast.
_ The VVasp, of 16 thirty-two pound carronades
and 2 long twelves, with a complement of about
140 men including officers,‘ was the next public
vessel that had an opportunity of meeting an ene-
my. Her opponent was the Frolic, a brig of 16
thirty-two ppund carronades, 4 long twclvcs,'and
2 twelve pound carronades on a top-gallant fore-
casile, with a crew of about 120 men. Here
there was as near equality as can he expected to
occur in naval warfare. _The action was fought
running, before the wind; and a disadvantage suf-
ft_l‘C(l by the F rolic, of having her main yard below
to fish, may be considered as counter-balanced by
the circumstances of the VVasp loosing her main-‘
top-mast by the first broadside of her enemy:
Neither circumstance was however of much'ino-
ment, as it was blotting lieavily at the time, and
neither vessel could carry whole sail during the
light. This battle was marked by the same dead-
ly charactcras the former, and was perhaps more
fatal to the captured than any one on records for
the length of time it ‘lasted. The VVasp lost in
45 minutes. 10‘l-tilled and wounded‘; 31¢ FPO“?
nearly 100, and this‘ without anycxtraordinary
advantage of a taking position, one single gun on-
ly being fired after the.\Vasp had gained the bow
of her antagonist. Much speculation was excit-
ed by this action ; and the ingenuity of the Brit-
ishnaiion expended itself in accounting for suc-
,t':esses, which had their rise in the effects ofa
strong stimulus to exertion, acting uponacorps
of select officers, and communicating, itself, in
the shape of discipline and enthusiasmgto the
men they commanded; ‘ '

ed that of the Frolic ; and at this tithe with ‘feel-

United States, which wehave mentioned between I
the Constitution and Guerrierc, with. the excep-
tion of the ,Uniied Stateshaving forty-two pound‘ «
carronades instead of tliirty-two poundcrs. T-he;
difference in the size of the ships was rather grea-
ter, and the United States had about 170' more
men. The light was of longer duration, bwing ,
to the English ship keeping the wind anglfoutsaih "‘
ing the American. Still Capt.-tCarden.liad n6f_iii3"”
tention to avoid the engagement, but had inerel 1 '
a peculiar method of his own in bringing it on.
This gentleman was well acquainted with the
force of the‘ United States, notwitlistanding. the
pretty air of surprise he assumes, in- his letter,
when he is carried on board his conqueror : Com-
modore Decature was personally known to him,
'the two.ships'had lain near each other in Hamp-
ton-Roaqds for some weeks, not a twelveinonth be-
fore, and the ofiicers were in fthe habit of daily ,
intcrcou rise. But it was not until.expc'ricnce_,had ~ ,.
proved their efficacy, that the English .of,li‘i:cr§
would own the superiority pf {twenty-foursgottcr
eightecns in frigate actions ;'. and; they wcre;fond
of thinking the advantages of experience anda’p- ‘T
proved skill on their side, would more’ than-couti-_ ,
terbalancethe strength of the ship or the weight
of her mctal.—The difference in force between
these two vessels, was however, of less moment .‘
than would be ‘at that supposed; it has ‘l_J,een
maintained that the Macedonian kept close on a
wind, and it was only by picking he‘r to pieccs"at:
long ‘shot, that the United States was able to get:
her for a short--time within the reach of her grape; ~
during most of thetirne the’ battle was fought
with the long guns, and the English were able to _
and did supply their loss at the guns from their
marines. This engagement was_certai,n.l¥ oecid-~
ed by gunnery; for bad the same..difi_'erence in
skill existed, and the Macedonian beei_1a..'(;4,» "she
must have struck. The United.;.S.tates{ had five
or six shot in her hull, and one or_ two light ,spa,rs
carried away,;.and'12 killed and, wounded.-'-; ]'l'_h ,
Macedonian was entirely crippled. in her-_spars,'.
had more than lQ0 round shotinj-her_htill, and
more than 100 casuziltics. ,Therc;i,s one or. two
circumstances connected withthe capture of'this
ship, which give a tlilferent idea ,ol,_tlie authenti-
city of British official accountsatld-British_tr;ihu_-. _,
nals, from that whicha very large portion ofoti"i"
countrymen were fond of entertaining, before the
late war assisted to remove .the veil from our eyes. ‘
Capt. Carden asserts the impossibility of bringing
the United States to close action, (having the
wind himself,) becall§'§f}i‘pl,ll5 -enemy steered two
points free.‘ Now it is evident to nautical:
man, that bysteering a few points mo'i“é§free him-
self, as the Macedonian greatly out sails the U-
nited States, and the distance between-them was
only a mile, he could have chosen his own manner
of engaging or compelled Commodore Decatur
to a complete rtin-away.-.-Of, the latter alterna-
tive, there was but little danger voith his aniag-o- ..
nist, and of the fact of superior sailing, we were
ourselves eye-witnesses, although the .piizc was
under jury-masts at the time. The U'nit'_cd;§ta_t_es
had an. enormous head and poop, b0lll'Ojf_'_i_t'lll_Ch ’ T
hurt her sailing extremely ; and Apervhaps in some
measure contributed their sharc,,~in ind’ncing_- the
Englishmen to pronounce her a 7,4 in -disguise.
The other circumstances to which we.,all’t_ide,,. is
the gjudgment of the court w'hich~_sat,_ as‘:-‘i§.,cu‘s‘-.
tomary, to decide on they conduct of 'thc'c‘aptain-
and crew of the captured vessel : in speaking of ‘_
the crew, they pass_.th_e highestfcommendations ' ‘t ’ “
on their conduct,',in» resisting the base artifices of ‘
the Americans, to entice them from their allegi-,‘<;,. ' '
ancc to their natural, prince "and ‘country.’ Gbd ‘
forbid that we -should, in any manner assist to_._su'l-j‘
