Iht fbllo&lng jp a description of the
Cruite Os W* gssex prior to her
capture, as fttrcn by Capt. Porter in
his kttk& ioVhe Secretary of the J?a
--? vy , dated July 3, 1814, at. Sea.
IMR_4 have done myself the bon’
* or to address you* repeatedly* since
I left the Delaware; but have scarce
ly a hope that one pf my letters has
reached you; therefore consider it
necessary to give you a brief his
tory of my proceedings since that
period.
I sailed from the Delaware on the
97th of October, and repaired with
> all diligence, [agreeably to instruc
tions from Commodore Bainbrklge,]
to Port Praya, Ferdando de Noronho,
and Cape Frio ; and arrived at each
place on the day appointed to meet
h*m. On rrfy passage from Port
Praya toFernando de Noronbo, Icap
tuced his Britannic majesty’s packet
Nocton and after taking out about
11,000/ sterling in specie, sent her
tinder command of Lt. Finch for A
tnerica, leruized off Rio de Janario,.
and about Cape Frio, until the 12th
of January, 1813, hearing frequently
of the. Commodore, by vessels from
Bahia. I here captured but one
schooner, with hides and tallow v I
frent her into Rio. The Montague,
the admiral’s ship, being in pursuit
of me, my provisions now, getting
short, and'finding it necessary to look
out fora supply to enable me to meet
the commodore by the Ist of April,
off St. Helena, I proceeded to the is
land of St. Catharine, (the last place
of Rendezvous on the coast of Bra
ail,] as the most likely to supply my
wants* and at *he same Jime, afford
me that secrecy necessary to enable
me to elude the British ships of war
on the coast and expected there. I
oould here procure only wood, water
rum, and a few flour; and
bearing of tlie commodore's action
%ith the Java, the capture of the
Hornet by the Montague, and a con
sideraHe augmentation of the Brit
ish fore-, on that coast, and of seve
ral bqng in pursuit of me, I, found
it necessary to get to sea as soon as
possible. I now agreeably to tlie
Commodore’s plan, stretched to the
iodhward, scouring the coast as far
as Rio de la Plate. I heard that. Bu*
cnos Ayres was m a state of starva
tion, and could not supply our wants
—and that the government of Mon
te viedo was very inimical to us.-*-
f The Commodore’s instructions now
left it’ cpmpletely discretionary With
me what course to pursue, and I
determined on .following that which
had not only met his approbation,
1 but the approbation of the then Se
cretary of the Navy. I accordingly
shape i my course for the Pacific,;
and after suffering greatly from short
allowance of provisions, and heavy
gales otFCape Horn, f for which my
ship and men were illy provided ) I
nmved at Valparaiso on the i4th Qf
March, 1813. I here took in as
much jerked beef, and other provisi
ons. as my ship would conveniently
ctow, and ran down the coast ,of Gin
p and Peru ; in this track I feff m
with a Peruvian corsair, which nad
«n board twenty-four Americans as
prisoners, the erews of two whait
ships, which she had taken on the
\ooastqf Chili. The captain inform
ed me that, as the allies of, G. Bri
tain, they would they
should meet within expectation of a
wra between Spain and the U. % I
consequently threw all his guns.and
ammunition into the sea, liberated
• the Americans, wrote a respectful
letter to the Vice Roy, explaining
the cause of my proceedings*'which

proceeded for Lima* ami rfc-captur<*4

during whi<& time I touched only
once on thexoast.of America, which
was for the purpose of procuring a
supply of fresh water, as none i$ to
be found among those islands, which,
ate perhaps th’e most barren and de
solate known.

wich I kept as a store ship, to con
tain the stores of my other prizes
necessary for us ; and the Atlantic
now called the Essex Junrl equipped
with 20 guns, and gave command of
her to It Downes. •
Lieut Downes had convoyed the
prizes to Valparaiso,.and on his re
turn* brought me letters, .informing
me that a squadron under the com
mand of com. James iiillyar, consis
ting of the frigate Phoebe, of 26 guns,
the. Racoon and Cherub sloops of war,
and a store ship of 20 guns had sai
led on the 6th July for this sea. The
Racoon and Cherub had been seek
ing me for some time on the coast
of Brazil, and, on their return from
their cruize, joined the squadron sent
m search of me to the Pacific. My
ship, as it may be supposed after be
ing near a year at sea, required some
repairs to put her in a state to meet
them; which I determined to do,
and bring them to action, if I could!
meet them cm nearly equal terms.—
I proceeded, now, in company witlj
the remainder of my prizes, to tM
island of Nooaheeyah, or Madison's
iftand, lying in the Washington
group, discovered by a captain Ingra
ham of Boston 4 here I called and
completely overhauled my ship
made for her a neW set of water casks
her old ones beifig, entirely decay*
ed, and took on board lrom my prizes
provisions and stores for upwards of
four months, and sailed, for the coast
of Chili on the 12rh December, 1813.
Previous to sailing I secured the
Reringapatam, Greenwich; and, Sir.
Andrew Hammqnd under the guns
of a battery, which I erected for
their protection—(after taking pos
session of this fine island for the U.v
States, and establish the most friend
ly intercourse with the natives,) I
left them under the charge of Lieut.
Gambje of the marines, with twenty
one men, with orders to repair *?
Valparaiso after a certain period. ? *
1 arrived On the coast of Chili on
the 12th Jan. into Cort*
ception and Valparaiso<found at both
places only three English vessels, j
learned that the ‘ squadron which,
sailed from Rio de Janeiro for that
sea had not been heard of since
their departure, and were supposed
to be lost in endeavoring to double
Gape Horn. ’
I had completely broken tip the
British navigation in the Pacific ;
the vessels which had not been cap*
tured by me, were laid up and
not venture out. I had afforded the
most ample protection to our own
vessels, which were on my -arrival
very numerous and unprotectedX*
The valuable whale fishery there is
eruyjfy destroyed, ,apd the actual
injury we have done them may be
estimated at tvYo and a half miluibns
of dollars, independent of the expeb
ces of the Vessels in search of me.—
I hey have furnishedjne amply with
sails,cordage, cables, anchors, provi,
sions, medicines and stores of ‘every
description; and the slop op board
them have furnished clothing for the
seamen. We had in fact lived upon
the enemy since I had’been in that
sea, every prize proving a well found
store ship for me. I had not yet
been under the necessity of drawing
bills on the department for any ob
ject, and had been enabled to make
considerable advances to my officers
crew on account of pay. 1 f
hot the unexampled time we had
kept the sea, my crew uid continued
remarkably healthy; I had bift one

In” the first plate the wounded aud helpless

Copy of a letter from Com. Ghauncdy
to the Secretary dj the Nfoy*
United States Ship Superior, ’Sacke 11 \s
Harbor, 7th July, 18l<*.
SIR—I am happy that * hfcve it
er to detail to you another brilliant achievement
b£ Lieut Gregory with his brave compan
ions.
** 1 received inforrtiktidh some time since that
die eneniy was building 1 large schooner at
*• PMpque Isle .” I determined upon her des
truction, but deferred the execution until she
should be nearly ready for launching. Find
ing the alarm extensive down the St, Law
rence in consequence of taking the gunboat
Black-Shake, l thought it a favorable oppor
tunity to Attempt something at ‘ Presque Isle:’
On the 26th ult. I directed Lieut. Cep gory to
takewith him Messrs. Vaughan ana Dixon
—proceed with the two largest Gigs lb Nich
olas Island, (within about seven miles of
•-* Presque Lie” harbor) and there conceal
his boats and wait for some transports which
i had information w ere expected there to take
up provisions and munition* of war, which
had been sent up the Bay of Quimu for the
troops at York aud Fort George, but, if these
transports did not make their appearance in
three or 4 days, then to proceed to “ Presque
We*” \csi here on tko b*
wife positive «rßers oci tb injure * private ‘
building of Any private property. The day
ifter fieut. Gregory arrived cm the coast He
discovered a vessel beating up, but just as he
shoved off to board her, a large gun-bofct hove
in sight a little belqw him. This boat made
a signal to the vessel in the offing, upon which
she tacked and stood for the gun-boat. % Lieut
Gregory secreted his boats as well as he could
bu* was apprehensive that be had been disco
vered. The gun-boat and her convoy (which
was full of troops) stood into Presque Isle .
Lieut Gregory* was determined to ascertain
whether he had been discovered—accordingly
he sent one of*his boats in the next night and
toqk off one of the inhabitants who informed
him that it was known that he was oh the
coast, and that two expresses had been sent
to Kingston in consequence He therefore
determined upon executing the latter part of
his instructions and made his arrangertierits
accordingly, landed, placed sentinels, a# the
houses to prevent alarm, and set fire to the
vessel, which was nearly ready l to\aunch;
she was a stout well built vessel to m mut
,14 guns, and would probably have been jatinch-’
ed in ten days A. small store house which
. containing stores for the vessel was Unavoid
ably burnt is it was so near the vessel that It
took fire from her. Ijieut Gregory learnt from ,
the inhabitants that much property been
sent up a few days pievioiis, that, a company
of the Glengary regiment had been stationed
there, but hid been sent to York a few* days
before : another company was on its way
from Kingston to replace them. The few mi
litia who had been left to guard the vessel and
property, retrer.ted upon the approach of our
boars—As soon afrthe vessel wis entirely con
sumed, Lieut Gregory embarked his-men
without having permitted one of them to en
ter a house*, finding the alarm so general he
thought prudent to cross the lake immediately;
he stopped one day at Oswego for refresh
menti and arrived here last everting, having
performed a difficult service with his usual”
gallantry and good conduct.
Lieutenant Gregory speaks in the highest
teWris of commendation, of sailing master
Vaughan arid Mr. Dixon as wet! as tfie men
under hiscohtmand, for their patient endtir-*
ance of hungeraud fatigue, and rhe zeal with
which they performed every part of their duty.
I think injustice to these brave Ynfn, that
they ought to be allowed something for the
destruction of this vessel—they have however
every confidence in the justice and liberality of
tpeir government,and submit their case most
cheerfully to,its decision. /< ‘*

of the Bridge and somfe finishing of

Bridge is about nine hundred and se

and the floor is forty feet from,

for the Very excellent manner in
which he has so nearly completed,
