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 irst we have t 0 T ni > but being an uncommon fast suupi > We have great liopes of her .safe ar* rival ; *nd. for the part of judicious manageii ent 1 nave no doubt of it— «he is a very beautiful brig of 253 tons, coppered to (he bends and cop per fastened,*and lias a Very Ule cargo on board, consisting Oi brandy* ,winf£, cambrics, Ac. $h e Was from Liverpool tqc Bordeaux, thence Id Pensacola- f Besides ? it’ . e merchant vessels Jiave whipped two of Britannic Majestx *» ilvof war; anti ( com patafclVciy speaking) have lost nothing* 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 ded i the .greater* part, considered 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 Wehelicve, sunk ; wc lost but two inen kdl.d and ope slightly woun ded. was on board of us at the t.i r e and will ihforra you of particulars.’ t lit Wasp is a beautiful ship and the finest Sea-boat, I believe, in the y orld. dur officers and cfew, young ambitious; they fight with more than they do any other k Captain Blakely is a brave fdiscreet officer as cool and col jsd in action as at table, he Atalanta is this moment or iel to proceed ; and Mr. Stewart is at my elbow for this.

The brig we had taken, during this time was firing signal guns of distress; knd in all probabil ity went down before assistance could be afforded her. ’ Her name & force cannot be ascertained-—she had If ports of aaide and her shot weigh ed 1 3 4 pound heavier than any that belong to this vesselr—she must have suffered a great deal in men, as we could distinctly hear the groans and screams of the wounded.

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. % ■ JACOB BROWN. Com.
