best of their .way to the Rigolets. Finding th
transport's draft of water too'great to take ho
over the shoals t having already taken th
ground, I set her on fire aad joioea the boat-
on shore. The wind Still increasing and man-
boats approaching full of men from'the armv.
induced a belief that' they-had discovered my
character from the burning of the schooner,
and meant to attack me. My force was anfor
tuoately divided j the taige launch with a
twelve pound carronade, and some of ray
best men, with,, twenty prisoners, haviog
drifted below, were compelled, bom the
strength of the current to' anchor.. on * the
Other- side- nearly half a mile distant.—Ev--
ry disposition was made by our little band
tn defend ourselves to the last extremity, and
fire was prepared to burn the marsh should th-
enemy land in my rear. Six boats approached
'p#at one titim crowded with men, and threr
made's feint, to attack the launch, hot. a well
diricted shot from her carronade compelled
them to halLoff, and a few discharges of our
mp'ketry drove the others also, In about two
hours we were entirely clear of them.' The
violence of the wind and tide drove two of the
prizes from their anchorage, an board of which
were about twenty prisoners, with three of-iny
own men, who were taken oiF, the prisoners
having overpowered them .so soon as they got
out of the reach of our musketry. This is the
only loss I have experienced during the expe
dition. Finding it totally impracticable to
’ stem the strength of the current, and the wind
being directly ahead forthe fort at Coqaeile,
my own safety and the preservation of the’men
entrusted to mycommand, induced me to pa
role the prisoners and let them go with their
b- st*, particularly as a number of them were

“ Peace is the order of the day, and seems
to have absorbed in its tranquil bosom all those
events which usually attracted the public atten
tion. The Congress is busy in adsp'ing our re
lations to a peace es'abtfsbment, but as almost
every thing is left afloat, in the treaty, (sub
ject to ulterior arrangements,) the probability
is, that the Navy will no- be reduced at all,
and that a very small reduction will be made
in the land forces. The reduced officers and
soldiers will however have little to complain
against (he gratitude of the Republic—They
wilt be liberally and handsomely compensated

SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN.
Tuesday Evening, March 7,1815.
ESl RACT TG THE EDITOR,
of. the military plans, that many regret we
Id .not have, had another tug with John
Bull, beiore the contest closed.
A sanguinary conflict was expected a* Sa
vannah and many fears entertained for Its safe
ty. The people here little know the fervor of
southern patriotism—If Savannah had been as
sailed, I believe the result would have been as
glorious as'that ot New Orleans. Floyd will
prove himself a Jackson, whenever the expe
riment is made.”
•TV# done ! the agony it but begun !
The story, though painful to tell, is melan
choly co-> reel. Justice to the brave demands
its relation. The cloud which darkened the
western sky, and threa-ened to direct its fury
against this city, caused a few of its citizens,
whose timorous souls could but view the anti
cipated tempest with dismay, to ingloriously
fly to distfnt recesses, for security The tern
pest Ins spent its violence; the gloom has;
pan, the sun of peace again illumines Colum
bia’^ shores ; the citizen soldier, who at his
post Was ready to breast the shock, now re
turn* to hi* home to er joy the sweetest conso
lation of the patriot ; the spplause of his coun
try, the smiles of his family. These joyful
events are, however, bittered, by the return of
these creatures, who have the audacity to min-
L'le with >be brave, and seek for distinction.
Ungrateful beings 1 unworthy the appellation
of man ! you have forlei'ed that high, cotsfi
dence which the Republic reposed in each of
her sons; you have sot rendered the exal'ed
cbarac-er which your country has acquired
tt7n and maintained by blond and toils. You have
betrayed the trust of virtuous inoocer.ee ; you
left this gem ot social happiness, to the h'-nor
of an enemy, whnse motto was, rafie sneri
lege and destruction : Y»u abandoned the Eagle
in her contest with the Lion, the unerring darts
of the bird have iot’ed the presses, of the fo
rest’s monarch, .driving him bleeding to his
-wn domain, while she scars tnumphan'ly
aloft, wi h victory and prare, renouncing and
declaring you unworthy ‘o live on the soil she
proiecs. :
A FRIEND TO VIRTUOUS VALOR.

Colonel Hatne, the Inspector General of

Monday last on his way to the city of Wash

general J ckson to the Secretary of War. In
a conversation with one oi the Editors he stat.
ed, that the loss of the enemy in the several
engagements at New Orleans could not have
been less than from four to Jive thousand—
and that in the memorable baule of the 8 h
January, they acknowledged a loss of three
theusdnd one hundred, although from obvious
causes, we were unable to make it but twenty
six-hundred. Cslonel H*yire add», that it is

A letter from Philadelphia mentions that the
writer conversed with • gentleman from Porto
Rico, who saw another from Antigua, a short
time before sailing, who stated to him that *he
action between the Chasseur and L’Espiegte,
was considered as one of the most gallant since
tho war.. The action look place off Barbadoes,
19th January and lasted one hour. The L’Espi.
egie was almost cut to pieces and silenced t
the Chasseur would have taken possession in
S tniautes, but forthe appearance of a frigate.
_ The Chasseur was much injured in sails and

ALGIERS.
. It is hoped by a number of citizens that onr
little navy will be employed as soon as the
treaty of peace is ratified, in avenging the
wrongs of our country on the pirates of Algiers,
who took advantage of cur war with Englud. to
let loose their plunderers upsn our commerce.
Such a service would be agreeable to our bra vie
seamen, honorable to. the nation, and raise our
character in the eyes of all Christendom. It is
fortunate that the pirate* have afforded us a
fair opportunity of scourging them for their
