Gentlemen vs tbe SenMe, and Gentle
man of the House ofßiprcsentatives^
We meet again'wife less sanguine hopes
of the restoration of peace and prosperity ‘
than we indulged at the last session. Ail.
the Haltering expeditions induced by the *
meeting of ambassadors at Ghent have
been disappointed, and we arc to look-fer
wurd to* a longer continuance of an unhap
pyfevari Though the original causes or
pretexts of the war are now abandoned
bv our adn)im(\ration,tmd *hey are wil
ling to make peace with Great Britain ,
without requiring any fqpulauion on her (
part, on lubjtfts of blockade or im
pressment, yet peace cannot, in the opin
io ti of opr government be restored on the
terms propoled by the bnciny. s lt is ex
dull vlf the province and the duty of the
general government to decide on our to
rt ign relations—they only can declare or
make peace, yeti may be- permitted to ex
press mv•regret that the begotiation .had
not btenjtefniitted to Wceed to such fur- ;
ther length ns to #hh more?!
predion the real pretentions and demands
of England* *
Prefout appearances forbidding us to
•anticipate the Ipeedy restoration ot thofc
’ bfeffings which peace alpm* can reljore, it
■ becomes our dutv to look at the aiftual
•‘ftate of things -and to prepare for those
exertions, privations and fuff-rings thro’,■
• which, in the righteous providence ot j
J God, we may be Called to pass. You will .
perceive,“in tle corrcfpondeme between
th: executive of this Rate, arid the depart- .
, tjvnts of the general gqvermnenV a corr- |
tinned exeitihn on our part to induce *
so their attention to our expressed condition,
lind to prevail on - them to extend to us
that fuppart and alfillanee which by the
teaWs of the national comp-aft, ami by ;
every confideratiem of prudence, as well as
iuftied, tlx-y were Ixnrnd to have afforded;
,smd you will as readily difeover, on their
part, repeated and continued delay, i
finally an Implicit refuftd or an acknqw-
Jedgu'tKMit of their inability to comply j

we have exhibited a canlhmt readiness to !
’ <cn!brm to the- views of the general gqv-
to cooperate with theiit a
.greeably to the tonftitutioti, to tire extent ,
of our power, and it is not understood I

SIH---I have to report to you the Joss
: of one ofour tenders (the Franklin) com- j
manded by Mr. Hamerfley, mafler&’mate, ’
after a very gallant defence of an hour and
an half; against a tender and fourteen bar- |
1 ges and boat* of the enemy, off Back Riv- ,
jer Pbhu, dti Sunjfcy Taft. ’ ■ “ ‘ 5
From the late depredations, of the enemy’s •.
boats upon-the Bay craft in Back tiver, ;
and having also extended their operations
into Hampton Roads for the ffift time j
tilde twelve months, I was induced, on]
j Saturday evening last, to order the two j
j tendecs .and four of my boats off B‘‘ c k ri- i
*• Ver for the purpose of cepvoying
i craft wliich had been reported to nie in
j that river and bound to this place, with
| poll tive orders to the officers to’ avoid” fep-
J aration in the niglit, and return to Hainp
-1 ton Roads with tbe craft without delay.
Unfortunately, however, they were una- [
voidably separated in the night ; the boats f
■ owing topa rough sea,. returned to Hamp
ton, and the Franklin is reported to have
separated from the Drfpatch, at 11 P. M.
Lt. Sanders, of the Defpatch, finding
in the morning,from the ignorance of his !
I pilot and a light wind, that he had drifted j
f near the enerry’s (hips in Lyftnhaven, andj
j that*they were manning their boats to at-
I tack him, immediately manifod his (Veeps;
j'and made a signal for our boat?, who were !
j under Old Point, and also to tlie FraidjJin,’
; that lay nearly becalmed up the bay and j
j considerably to the caft\v,ard. The boats,
• immediately joined the Defpatch, and, a i
1 little breeze springing up, the eneiny’3!
| boats and tenders, after exchanging a few j
j {hot, gave over the chafe .ami directed their !
i attention to the Franklin) They came
| up with and furrouhded her at about ro,
* when the firing commenced, and were re-;
’ pulled until half paft.i r, when fee was 1
i carried by boaiding.
I, of courl’e, have no report from the
■ Franklin, but have sent Lt. Neale with a
flag to afevrtain the fate of her gallant of
| ficers and crew, which confided ot about
( *tlum -fiveti and as there is a mailers’ mate
! and three ft amen at piefent prifeners
: of war, in Norfolk, I have anthoriled <
i Lieuttr.ant Neale to make any tem
porerty'exchange tlie companding of
ficer at Lynnhaven fnay appear dUpoled-ta
accede to, with an assurance that on any
prafticable arrangements which, might be
entered into, such as. paroling the whole
until a rt !nmunic!itioii’cc<uld be made to
UieGommiffiry General of prilbum for aft
; exchange. .1 would lofts no time in mak
ing the necessary application for that*pur
pofe.
Owing to feme changes among the
boats and tenders while in fee roads, lam
unable to alcert.tin,- at this moment, the
pfecife number of the Franklin’s crew, bat
judge them to be -about thirty-one men,
besides Mr. H?!rr.n (!oy, her commander,
one nridfbiprrari (T\; -'. ('ook) and two aft
ing Rs maftrrs’ mates ?.nd pilots.
I have much fatisfaftion in assuring
you. that every exertion was made by Lt.
Sanders to unite force, umi! the
wlkde of the enemy's force had t fttftually
cut them off from tlie Fnmklih ; and from
the report of the inhabitants who were on
the beach and witneflyd the gallant de
'• fir nee*of that vcffrl uutil,completely sur
rounded, and carried by the boa*rd:*g of
five heavy boats at moimst, and
after having beaten off their tender and
two heavy launches, *t different periods
