I know not how to touch on the melan
choly subject of your other letters, without
.jvnijr vent to some of those feelings which
operate th'** inwr ni*nt on my mind. I
••'nail endeavour however to treat it coolly
.,,1 di-passioiiately, and hope by a few facts
to convince your excellency, that there was
:ut the shadow of an excuse for interdicting
thi- entrance of my squadron into the harbor
0 fSt. Johns. That nothing can justify the
„rdt-r issued hy your second in command,
•; 0 fire upon .any of the vessels composing it,
and that the act of flnng was, to ray the
■ t^t of it, an act of the most unpardonable
cruelty and barbarity.
It is painful to me to see that yoor Excel-
j-ocy has laboured to justify the act ; and
throw the blame on the commander of
one of the United States teasels then in
port. A statement in the Echo of the 8th,
drawn by the same hand that penned vonr
letter to inr, is given to the public with Hie
same object! n view. Your excellency may
have reasoned yourself into a betid of the
• iTerences you have in both cases drawn
pom the information given you, or both
may have been couriered as necessary and
proper to prevent excitement; but I must
he excused for saving to your excellency
that the charge is only an aggravation to the.
mirage w hich had already been cu omitted.
It was not the doty of that nlficer to move
it the beck and call of the king’s lieutenant,
or to leave the duty unexecuted which I
had sent him to perforin, to communicate
to me the hostile intentions of a subaltern,
which, had they been fully explained to
aim, lie never could have believed he would
have dared to have carried into t fleet; but
they never were explained, and no such con
variation took place between the king’s,
lieutenant and the American olGcer, as is re
lated hy your excellency. Your excellency
has been misinformed on the subject, and

to prevent my coming into port, it would
lixxe been impracticable for him to hav.

mce at the time, that no vessel or boat,
cauld possibly have left the harbor.
it h not iiisgimniinous in your evceilency to
report to such meant to excuse the bad con
duct of those under your command.
The officer you would implicate was the
hearer of a despatch from me to your excel
lency, apprising you of the benevolent inten*
t or»s of my government in fitting out the squad-
ro.i I have the hon«:r to command.
lie had beeu two days in your port, nnd wa-
pi-se^i'-l of a copy of my letter lo you, which
ia.l been -cen by youi second in command
at tic: moment of his presenting him.-elflo him,
Hindi was on the day of his arrival. And if
i iy doubt- existed ns to his character, or the
rha-acter of the vessel under his command, be
ing in the power of the authorities of Torto
Jtir.o, they could easily have satisfied them
selves.
But he bad been received and treated as an
American nlficer, and it is only to endeavor,
to palliate, or excuse the conduct of the ol-
Cending individual, that y -ur excellency has
sought for facts which would never have been
brought into notice, but for the latu- ufnbie
circumstance which gave rise to these paiiitu!
remarks,
He informed your second of the character
nf my squadron : a British .squadron was then
lying in the port which knew me, u there can
not he a doubt had communicated intelligence
clny intentions to visit Porto Rico.
The sloop ol War on board which my pen
dant was dying, with some small vessels ot iny
tqiiadron, were lying in full view of the Castle
with their colours hoi-led ; the schooner which
was fired into was standing directly in'o port
:ri open day , she could not have escaped alter
the first shot was tired, -»r have given up her in
tentions of going into St Johns, hnd she been
so disposed, or had >he understood what w«>
i itended hy the firing. Hut let me ask your
excellency^ who for an instant could Lav. eup-
p-»>ed that a suiull schooner of scarcely forty
tons bjrdien, mounting only throe gun-, with
a complement of twenty-five officer* and men,
would have occasioned «».y alnrm tu the city
ol -Si. Julias, surrounded as it \* by fortresses
rendered NS impregnable as nature the art of
man can make them VV'as it not more until-
ral to believe thut the firing was iatendej to
compel her approach ? and even if, the ni
tration whs not complied with, ought not her
fii»*l.-le condition to have claimed from those in
your fortress some mercy ? But no ! the ves
sel after the death of her lamented commander
tvss compelled lo anchor between the forts,
Winre a treui-ad-iu* sea Whs tunning wiiich
/opardi*ed the lives of every one on board, lo
***nd the aiimli boat on shore, where the young
t iled to hislAie by the pro-id satisfaction that
he died in the performance of Ins duty to his
country ; but to be thus cruelly torn from us,
and by the hand of a dastard, whose aim was
the more sure from a confidence in his own
safety, and the defenceless condition of his
object, admits of no consolation
\ our excellency in conversation with the
officer you wish to implicate, adverted to the
affair of the I’anchda as some palliation for the
offence ; and there is too much reason to up-
prebend I hat the officer who gave th: order to
prevent the entrance of my squadron, us well
as those who executed if, thought this n fair
opportunity to retaliate. Otherwise, why heat
shot in the furnaces (o destroy my squadron ?—
Why open two batteries on the schooner, and
why fuv round shot and langrage, while the
lamented victim was hailing the fort, and why
the remark of the man who pointed the gun,
that the shot was intended to avenge the Ran-
clnta ?
Your excellency will recollect that in th»*
case ot the Panchita, there was mu equality of
force. Such an occurrence would not have
taken place had there becu as great a disparity
as in the present instance. The cases arc not
therefore parallel, ami if the satisfaction of re
taliation was sought for, the offenders have
tailed in their object; it is yet to be obtained
I shall leave the Island tomorrow morning
with a heavy heart, and shall without delay
communicate to my Government the melan
clioly result of my visit here, which was intend

MELANCHOLY INCIDENT.
“ On the 6th of the present month there
happened, in this port, an event, which has
occasioned the greatest sensation among us
all—an J which, without dnuht, will afford
an opportunity for the presses to give full
\ ent to the opinions of their respective con
ductors against us;—each one expressing
himself according to his particular h idings
and passions. But we appeal to the judg
ment of the prudent and di-crcet, in order
that they may suspend their sentiments, un
til they are perfectly informed of the circum
stances attending this fact.
** VVe speak uf the death of the captain of
one of 'he American schooners of war, which
compiled a part of a small squadron, which,
since tiie 4th of this month, has been seen at
« distance in our oiling—and of which two
entered this port on the fith in the morning.
The affair happened agreeable to tho follow
ing statement:
“ The most excellent captain general be
ing absent from this place, and the lieutenant
of the King, noting here as his substitute,
this gentleman it seems, conceived it to bej
his duty not to permit the entrance of the
said squadron, m»td the return of his excel
lency, or with nis positive order*. But it i*
nol, at present, our purpose to examine the
causes, or reasons, which he may have had
i this determination—altlio’ wo ought to do
him the justice to believe that they must
have been solid and weighty, when we duly
consider his character.
For the execution of his purpose, we
have been informed, that he gave an order
to the commander of the Castle of the Morn,
that he should watch and give information
of the motions of the squadron ;—and at tlir
same, time he ordered the commandant of
the artillery, that lie should not permit the
entering of the souadron until the arrival of
his excellency. He also prevented the pilots
from going out, until they might receive per
mission to this effect; and at half past six,

“ Between to and II o clock in the morn
ing, a schooner was seen standing in towards
the port, and, without wailing for a pilot:—
the commandant of the artillery ordered a
cannon to he tin d with a blank cartridge, in
order that tho vessel might heave to, or
change her course -but instead of doing ei
ther, -he advanced with a fresh breeze and a
crowd uf sail, with an obvious intention ol
entering: another cannon w is now discharg

from the high butt**y.

is stated at fifty seven and die expenditure
at litt!« short of My millions, leaving nn cx

on the List of Balances, in our last paper.
The amount ofaerounts settled hy the ac

actually remaining open and unsettled un
tile 34th December last, w is 3,081,346. Su
that Ibe amount of unsettled accounts has
been reduced, since the commencement of

in believing, as we confidently do, tlmt it

A change has been determined upon in

for which it was supposed they Ii id been ap-
