_ _(C-0N._CLUDED )’ '
, So far. our success has been uniform ; and our
national vanity rose in proporiion. .We began to
cgtchange chat_'act'ers'. ‘with our enemy, to believe
in our own invincibility, andimagine that victory
must ever be the accompaniment of battle But
‘5 are-verse offorume soon taught us that we were
subject to its vicissitudes. Thatiill-fitted ship,
the Chesapeake,“ has twice given a lesson to the
. navy, which renders her a vessélol‘ morejimpor-
Lance to our services, however humbling she may
have been to our pride, than the Constitution with
all her bo.asted‘_\ictories. She tarnishetl the re-
’ putation ‘and blasted the hopes of the gallant and
injured Barron; andnit was on herdeck the high-
_o.verweening prepossessions of his countrymen.
It is enough for us to say, here, that in every
thing "but circumsta,nce',..the combat was a fair
one ; the vessels of very equal force, equally
manned, -and of equal size; she was desperately
defended, and bravely. can-i'e‘tl: But We will leave
to anothtarpen the tnciclents.of this unlucky ac-
tion; linked as we \\t:t'cto.tl1e "regretted Law-
rence by no ordinary feelings. ‘Ne have'jtvitn.ess-
ed his coolness in dan’gerv;'Twere familiar with _his_‘
lofty and generous spirit,’ and havefexperienccd
stances, to speak of his services withthat impar-
tiality whicli the subject requires- ' .
In the engagement between the Enterprize and
Boxer, fot‘tittie soon after smiled upon our arms.
This was, also. asinearlyan equal fight, as can be
cxpectedto occur in our seaservice : .It was well
contcstednfor the size of the vessels and decided in
‘favor of the one on whose side there. was a small
d_ifl‘erence- of. force. The Enterprize ha_do'two
“more guns than_ the Boxer, the same metal, "and
"a few more men, and was rather a heavier vessel,
sufliciently so, we think, to have madeit disc:-ed.
itable n.ot.;(;_ have conquered.—But we did con-'
quer, and in the liandsomest manner ; both com-
manders lost theiclivcs in the contest ; a’nd..t-here
is no’ praise ~ justly paid to, the gallant Burrows,
7, _which is not also due to his less fortunate rival.
We will _here_a_llt'tde to one circumstance, which.
in its termination, had an effect the very revetsei
of brilliant, and which \ve:.;ghin,l$s grew out of ‘mis-
taken notions of duty and honor : Capt. Blythe
nailed his colors to the mast ; and when necessi-
ityxcompellrd his ,second_ in command to ask for
.quarters, he was "deprive-dlof the ordinary means
uftloing soby lowering his flag, but was subject-
ed to the m_o_i'tifyittg'- necc1;iSil)' Of bfllllllgz ‘O Elsi‘
mercy ofhis enemy with his voice; and of stating
explicitly; for the satisfaction of his wary adver-
. vsaiy, the reason of keeping his colours _aloft.'Now,
in addition to considering this as ‘lnimiliating a
to any forced exhibition of resolution, which may,
in the end, reduce us to conduct very‘—_far from
our duty as ,men and as officers.‘ Had "accident
not killed Capt, Blythe early in the engagement,
the probability is that .many,more__li_vcs would
‘ have been sacrificed to._his pridecf éfégeling, long
i after resistance ivould1~h,a;vc~ibeenuselcss. KN-’e
certainly think it‘al\vays_th‘e‘ '§a5é'$l_f0|‘' 3“ 053061‘
to err on the side of resistance, and would advise
our countrymen to ‘adhere to their guns, so long
as there is a remote chance of usingtliem to ad-
vantage : but‘ .ve dislike that kind of forestalling
courage, which tics one up to a duty, alter the
manner of the low Irish,\vho forswear getting
drunk; for it may compel one to acts his con-
science-must disapprovt: ; or, as in the case be-
fore us, may sometimes make one look extreme-
ly foolish. - - . ' _ ~
But one other instance ‘occurs to our mind. of
unsuccessful combat in this war, where ship was
opposed to ship, and this was the capture "of: the
Argus by the Pelican. Both vessels were brrgs :
the Englishmanxan I8 gun sloop: Cm"f!I'1Ҥ 13
thirty-two pound carronadcs, and 2 long tn-elves,
with the usual complement’ of men : the Argus
was a much smaller and lighter vessel, having
been built for, and until the co.mm8!1C€-men! Oflhe"
war, carrying 16 twenty-four pound .carronadcS»
and molong nines--tvvo more carronudes had
been crowdedon her, by usingthe bridle ports,--
_in number of guns, therefore. the vessels were
equal; but in consequence of the.ct‘eW 0f we
Argus being iveakened by the prizes sire had
..mauned, it _is understood that there was a mate-
rial difl'¢;-gage in the number of their men. '1 he
