I had the honor of making comnnim-
Colons to you from Canhugpna od the

with the independence, # Congress, Erie,

poli,-having . learfied that a misunder
standing existed bet weed the Bashaw of;
that place, St our Consul residing there.
On my way I culled at Algiers to exs»i-’
bit force off there, pres
uming-it would have some weight in
preserving the pea.e wh ch had just
been made ; for the only mode, of con
vincing these people, is by occuiar de

* On-iny arrival off Tripoli, I learned
thyt commodore Decatur had beeti there
with the first squadron, and had adjust
ted our dtderences which existed at
that place. Our consul at- Tripoli in
formed me that the exhibiting of our
Naval force be lore Tripoli,’had produ

position of the Bashaw fpv preserving
