•. ?< Tho followjßgi* an extract of a
tetter from an officer, dated
United States * sloop Wasp) at
sea, Sept. 23,1814.
There are but Few disappointments
in life without their attendant beni
fits, and but Tew pains unaccompani
♦ ed by pleasure.
Yesterday, 1 Fully believed and ex*
pected to have been deprived the
pleasure of writing a single Hire by
this opportuiftty, other than our
public Service • but a disappointment
has detained the Atalsnta longer
than was expected, and I am indebt
ed to that circumstance for the time
I now indulge in writing to friends.
Captain Blakely, I believe, sends
official accounts up to this date,
doubtless for publication—to his let
ters. therefore, I refer you’ for mce
and particulars regarding
ouV cruise—se veral of my messmates
sends particular statements, extracts
from which will, no doubt, be pub
; lished, and will reach you through
the comn on channel of news. •
The Wasp has been one of the
most Successful cruizers out of the
TJ. States. She has been the favor
ite oi Fortune, and we offer tbanks
givipg«4o Divipe Providence for its
‘support and protection.
She has now been three months
and five days,at sea, with a comple
ment of i73 men,/whose ages aver
age oq4v 23 years;the greatest part
so greet 7, thntls, so unaccustomed to
the sea, that they were sea-sick fpr
a week. In that time however ?he
has destroyed twelve British merch
,dht vessels and their cargoes, the
whole v:due of which, I presume,
was-iot than two hundred thous
and p unds sterling ; the thirteenth
eaert antmas we afe now dispatch
ing tor the States ; she is the

We have great liopes of her .safe ar*

Besides ? it’ . e merchant vessels

Our first engagement was with the
Hein-Peer of 21 .guns, which we
whipped in 19 minutes ; ouf loss
Wfs 4 lolled and 22 wounded ; the
enemy’s loss, 25 killed au4 42 woun

mortal. The was com
pletely shattered we
fougtu her in a perfect calm, but
he? foremast fell over the side the
moment a slight.breeze sprung up ;
our principal ( and m fact anlyj
damage was a shot in our foremast,
Which obliged us to go into port to,
get it properl* fixed.
Our second engagement took
place between 9 and 10 at night, and
lasted 46 minutes, when the enemy

t lit Wasp is a beautiful ship and
the finest Sea-boat, I believe, in the

ambitious; they fight with more
than they do any other
k Captain Blakely is a brave
fdiscreet officer as cool and col

Copy of a letter frobt Major gen.
Brown to Commodore Chauncy , dated
; * H. Q. Buffaloe, Sept, 4, 1814.
SIR, <5 “
’ Your letter-oi the 10th ult. after
going the rounds, was delivered to
me a few days since, on my way to
this place. The exception you take
at my letter to the Secretary, would
•be very reasonable and proper, pro
vided the fleet on Lake Ontario was
your private property, over which
the goveinntent had no contraul.
But ass have been induced to believe
that it was the property of the nation,
subject to the orders of government;
and as the government led me to be
lieve that the under your com
mand would be up, on Lake Ontario
to co-operate with my division of the
army, the Ist week in July, I have
deemed it fit and proper to let the
nation know, that the support I had
a right to expect, was not afforded
me. ...?*>•”
I consider my conduct towards
y ourself and the navy, as not only
honourable, fjmt, sir, as being very
liberal and friendly, from the date
of my report of the battle at Sack
ett’s Harbour to the present hour.
The trpops Under my command
have always been disposed-of so as
to meet yaur views to the extent of
my power and authority ; and as far
as was consistent with the rights and ,
the honor of the army.
Your information appears very in
correct as to the situation of the ar
my previous to r srm-af of
forccment| for Lt- Gen Dru oimdbd.
From the ith of July to the the
whole country was in oi iv powcr
from St. George to
lieigtKs ; and could the army have
been supplied with provisions ’frana
the depots provided on the *Wer • of
Lake Ontario we should not have
doubted our ability ’ifwithout: rein*
iorcements additional ) to
carry the heights when Ire could
have returned upon Fort George and
Niagara, or advanced upon Kingston
(as might have been thought most
advisable ) with the co-operation, of
the fleet. * .1 ;
You speak of responsibility. Ido
not desire you, or any man, to be re
sponsible for me. I have endeavour
ed to execute the offers given me ;
success has not attended my .endeav
ors ; but I humbly trust in Heaven,
that the honor of the bravo men en
trusted to my command has been &
will be preserved, let what will hap
pen. .
It will.be very difficult to retire
froth Fort pne, pressed as the re
main sos my gallant little army are,
by a superior force of the enemy.
But no other alternative will be left
us unless reinforcements speedily ar
rive. r -The militia are coming in in
very considerable numbers but it is
not yet ascertained how many of
them will cross. The Secretary has
given me to understandthat General
Izard would move to the St, Law*
rence, with a view of attacking
Kingston, (should be and you deem
that measure advisable* Should you
decide otherwise that general Izard
would come with, or send to me a
reinforcebifent of from two to three
then sand men* k;
I have not heard from general
l2ard, and begin to apprehend some
thing has occured to retard or pre
vent b|s movements. I will thafck
you for any information you can
give me on this subjeci. I am} sir,
-with great consideration and respect
your most Obedient servant. %
