On the morning of j the loth inff. at fun rife j they were difeovered from j Put-in-Bay, where I lay at anchor with the squadron I under my command* We , got under weigh, the wind light at s. w. and Rood for them. At io a. m. the , wind hauied to s. e. and | brought us to windward: i formed the line and bore up. At fifteen minutes before 12 j the enemy commenced fi | ring ; at five minutes before 12 in c actUon commenced oa i oUl ' } : art. Finding their lire very deffrmitive, owing i their long guns, and it I being moilly directed to the Lawrence, i made fail, and directed tne otner vefTels to follow lor the purpolc of clofiiig with the enemy. Every brace and bowling being loon ffm: away Ihe became unmanageable, not* 1 witiiiuoaing the great ex ■ eitions or inc failing inaitcr. in iii;a ntuaiion me luitain- j eu Ihe .iCtion upwards of 2 hours v. imin eamtter du tauee, u.uii tvery g m renuered uleleis, and the greater part of her crew ei. ther killed or wounded. | Finding the could no long* er anwr,y tne euemvi i Lit her ill c :C of Licul. \a;- 1 HOLD THE MIRROR UR TO NATURE —ShaMsfteare. l - i .

At halt pad 2 the wind jlpringing up, capt. Eiliotr 1 was enabled to bring his 1 *«*ffcl the Niagara, galhnf ly into close action; I im mediately went on board of ■ iher, when lie anticipated | niy wish by volunteering to j bring the fehocners u iiich liad been kept astern by the lightness or the wind* in o dole action. It was w.th unfpcakahl? piin that i law, loon at cr I got on ! board the Ni g ir*, the flag of tite Lawnnce come | down, although 1 was per fectly fenlible that Hie had been defended 10 the Ltd, and that to have corTinued to m. ke a ffiew ofrefi hnce would have been a wanton facnhee of the remains of her br*ve crew. But the enemy was not able to take poliedion of her, and cir cumffances soon permitted her flag again to be hoifteci. At 45 minutes pass 2 the signal was made for close « action. Ibe Niagara bein fr j very little injured, I deter mined to pais through the enemy s fine, bore up and palled ahead of their two j *bips and a brig, giving a j faking fire to tiiem from the fiat board guns, and to a lafge fciioojier and (loop, horn 1 lie larboard fide at half pifloi (hot di fiance:—The 1 mailer veflcU at this time having got within grape and caniltcr distance, under the direction of capt.

I Those officers and men who were immediately un. ; der my oblei vauon evinced the gtea.ed gallantry, and 1 na»c no doubt that ail oui ers conducted themlelves as became American officers 6c seamen.

Wt biter (doing dutv as iailing mailer) behaved in * very handtorpe manner.— j Capt. Bievootot th“ army, 1 who a&ed as a volunteer in J the capacity of amarine otfi- f cer, on board tiiat velFl, is \ I an excellent and brave oifi cer, and with ins mulketry did much execution. Lieut j I'urner commanding the Caledonia, brought that vef lel into action in rhe mo ft j able manner, and is an offi- | cer that in all fituattuns may !oc lehed on. The Anei, ; heut. Facket and Scorpion, (ailing mailer Champlin, were enabled to ge t cnrly in- j to action, and were of great i fcrvice. Captain Elliott (peaks in the highest terms of Mr. Mag rath, pur(er, who had been dnpatched in a boat on lervicc prtvious to my getting on board the Niagara ; and being a lea men, lincc the action has rendered essential service in taking charge of one of the prizes. Os Capt. Elliott, 1 already so well known to th« government, it would be almost fuperfiuous to fpcak. in this action he evinced his characteriiiic bravery and ju igtnenf, and since the dole of this adtion, has gi ven me the moil: able and fcffential afliianc . I have the honor to en clole you a return of the killed and wounded, to gether with a ftatecnent of the relative force of the iquadrons.
