Valencey, 11th December, 1813. 
dispatch from Commodore Rodgers to the Secretary 
of the American Navy. 
X “United States’ Frigate, President, Sandy Hook Bay, 
February 26, 1814. 
Sir —l have to acquaint you, that I arrived at my pre. 
•ent anchorage last evening, after a cruise of 73 days, and 
now have the honor to detail to your the particulars. 
In pursuance of your directions, I failed from Provi. 
dcncc on the sth Dec. and, although I expected to run the 
gauntlet through the enemy’s squadron that was reported 
tote cruising between Block Island and Gayhead, for the 
purpose of intercepting the President, I had the good luck 
Io 'avoid them. The day after leaving Providence, I re recaptured 
captured recaptured the American schooner Commet, of and bound 
to New York, with a cargo of cotton from Savannah, 
which had been captured by the Ramilies and Loire, and 
was in their possession about forty.eight hours. In a few fewhours 
hours fewhours after re-capturing the Commet,* a. sail was dicover, 
ed to the eastward, which I had felt inclined to avoid, from 
tha circumstance of the weather being hazy, and knowing 
that I was in the neighbourhood of the enemy’s squadron, 
from an advantage of wind, she was enabled, however, to 
gain out lee beam at a distance of three or four miles, ow- 

ing to which I was induced to shorten sail, with the inten intention 
tion intention of offering her battle in the morning, should nothing 
else be in sight, and she not be a ship of the line. 
The wheatcr becoming more obscure at 2 o’clock, pre prevented 
vented prevented our seeing her until day-light, when she stood from 
us to the N. E. although the President was hove to, to 
let her come up. From this date until the 25th, we did 
not see a single sail, except the Recovery [a brig belong belonging 
ing belonging and bound to Penobsco, from St. Bartholomew, in 
ballast] until after reaching Long. 25. Lot. 19. being car carried 
ried carried that far eastward by a severe S.W.gale, accompanied 
by such heavy sea as to render heaving to impracticable 
without infinite risk, when two large sails were discovered 
standing to the northward, and to which I gave chase, 
belicfing, as well from the situation in which they were 
discovered, as the manifest disposition they afterwards 
shewed to avoid a separation, that one was a frigate and 
the other an Indiaman under her convoy : io this I was 
mistaken, for a nearer approach 1 could discover the head 
most was a frigate with seven ports abaft her gangway, and 
the other a ship of epual or little inferior force: on dis discovering 
covering discovering their decided superiority, and supposing to be 
enemy’s ships, 1 endeavoured, during the succeeding night 
to separate them by steering different cources, and occa occasionly 
sionly occasionly shewing a light; but was unable to succeed, for the 
the headmost at one time was so near that she fired a shot 
over us, whilst her consort was but a hundred yards astern 
of her. I now directed our course to be altered, made sail 
and continued the remainder of the night to shew them a 
light occasionly, but to no effect, as at day-light they 
were discovered to be in a situation to unite their force. 
After this I shaped a course to reach a position to wind windward 
ward windward of Barbados, on a parallel of longitude with Cayenne 
and did not meet another vessel till the 30th, when faling 
in with a Portuguese brig, and receiving informal ion that 
she had been boarded 36 hours bofnre by to two British 
store ships, bound to the West Indies with 3»o troops (MI 
board, I crowded sail to the west ward in the hope ol 
overtaking them; in this I was again diappoiuted, aud, 
after a pursuit of four days, hauled further south ward to 
gain the latitude of Barbados: in that situation, aud oi 
the sth of Jan. captured the ship H andier, of 7 guns and 
16 men, from London bound to Jamica, partly loaded 
with plantation stores, and after taking from her such igfr. 
articles as were of most value, sunk her. In the same 
position on the7th, I fell in with the British merchant 
ship Prince George, in the character of a cartel with pri prisoners, 
soners, prisoners, which, with four other British vessels, had been 
captured by two French 44 gun frigates, the Medusa ami 
Nymph, the same ships 1 had fal eu in w ith 14 day s before. 
Ou board of the Prince George 1 sent the prisoners cap. 
tured in the Wanderer, to Barbados on parole. 

On the 19th of Jan. while still to wind ward of Barba, 
dos, 1 captured the ship Edxcard, of six guns and eight 
men, Lorn London bound toLaguira, in ballast —which 
vessel 1 also sunk. Having learnt from the master ol the 
Edward as well as those of the IVaderer aud Prince Ge George, 
orge, George, that they had been separated in the Bay of Biscay 
from their convoy, consisting of the Queen 74, two ingates 
and two Hoops of war, 1 was induced, owing to a belie! 
that the convoy was still to the eastward ol Barbados, 
until the 6th of January, w hen finding they must have 
passed, I changed my ground ran oil’ Cayenne, and from 
thence down the coast of Suriname, Berbice, and Deme Demerary, 
rary, Demerary, through between Tobago and Grenade, thence 
throgh the Charibbian sea, along the south-east side of 
Porto Rico, through the Mona passage, down the north 
side of Jamaica and other Leeward Island without meet meeting 
ing meeting a single vessel of the enemy, or any other Spanish 
droghers and one Sweedish ship, until I got near the Ma Manilla 
nilla Manilla Reef, near which, after capturing and sinking the 
British schooner Jonathan, loaded with rum and dry goods 
[the most valluable part 1 took on board], I hauled over 
the Florida shore and stuck soundings oil St. Augustine, 
and from thenchc run on soundings as far as Charleston. 
Passing within 4 or 5 miles of Columbia Island and as near 
to Savannah as the wheather and dept of water would 
allow, without meeting a tingle vessel except a Spanish 
ship from Havannah bound to Spain, but steering for Sa Savannah 
vannah Savannah in consequence of having sprung a leak. 
Arriving oil'Charleston [which was on the 11th ins.] I 
stretched close in with the bar, and made the private sig. 
nal of the day to two schooners lying in the Rebellion 
Roads, and which, from their appearance, I believed to 
be public vessels. After remaining all day off the bar 
with colours hoisted, and the before-mentioned signal 
displayed, without being able to communicate with the 
schooners, I stood to the northward, and at 7 o’clock the 
next morning, discovered and chached a ship to the south, 
ward, which pursuing 8 or 9 miles, led me to a second 
sail [a brig under her topsails with her topgallant masts 
housed and flying jib-boom rigged in,] and from thenche 
to a discovery of a third sail, represented from the mast 
head to be a large frigate, on discovery of the third sail, 
added to the manoeuvres of the first and second, 1 was in. 
dneed to believe them part of an enemy’s squadron, and 
accordingly hauled up and stood for the former, to as. 
certain her character; and after making her from the 
deck, perceived she was a frigate as reported, I now tack tacked 
ed tacked and shortned sail, believing that towards the night I 
might be enabled to cut off the ships [which was cither a 
small frigate or a large sloop of war] and a brig, from the 
third or largest sail, at this time 9 or 10 miles to wind windward; 
ward; windward; in this however, 1 was not able to effect my pur purpose, 
pose, purpose, owing to the weather sail (between sun set and dark) 
bearing down for the others. Judging now from the ma. 
nceuvres, that after daik they would chase, 1 stood to 
the eastward under short sail; believing that iu the morn morning 
ing morning I might find them in some disorder; at day-light, how however, 
ever, however, owing to the haziness of the weather, they were not 
t« be seen; consequently I wore and stood back to the 

westward to make them again, and in a few minutes dis discovered 
covered discovered two (one on the lee, the other on the weather 
bow), to which I gave chase, but after chasing them for 
half an hour, the weather becoming more clear, and two 
large ships making their appearance, 1 changed my course 
to the eastward, when the four immediately crowded sail 
in pursuit; but owing to the weather, assisted by the en enemy’s 
emy’s enemy’s manner of chasing, I was enabled to get clear of 
them without difficulty in a few hours. From this I pur pursued 
sued pursued a course to 18 fathoms wateroffthc Delaware, where 
in a fog, I fell in with a large vessel, apparently a man. 
of war, shortened sail to topsails, and cleared ship for 
action, but she suddenly disappeared in a few minutes. 
She, or some other vessel near, being heard to fire signal 
guns, I stood to the northward, from a belief 1 was near 
another squadron. From the Delaware 1 saw nothing 
until I made Sandy Hook, when I again fell in wi h ano another 
ther another of the enemy’s Sqnadruus, and, by some unaccount unaccountable 
able unaccountable cause, was permitted to enter the Bay, although in 
lhe presence of a decidedly superior force, after having 
been obliged to remain outside seven hours aud a half 
waiting for the tide.—l am, Sir, your’s, &c.

Extract of a Letter from Halifax, Novu Scotia, dated 
January 22, 1814. 
“Maliy people in England are, no doubt, informed that 
several 74 gun ships and frigates are building in the U. 
States; but the extraordinary size of these vessels (in re reference 
ference reference to their nominal rates) may not be so geuerally 
known. The opportunity 1 had last summer of viewing 
the Mammonth 74, and a frigate building- at Philadelphia, 
enables me to give the lenght of the tread oi their keel, by 
which their full dimensions may be tolerably estimated ; 
the keel of the 74 is 173 feet 5 inches; this 74 proceeds 
very slowly, for want of materials, having in Oct. last 
only a few of her floor timbers laid down : it wasexpcct wasexpccted 
ed wasexpccted she would nut be ready for launching until May or 
June 1815; and even that would depend on the vigilanco 
of our ships in the Delaware ; in cutting otr their 
of timber ; her lower deck guns are to be long 42 poun pounders, 
ders, pounders, and she is to mount al least 96 guns. The keel of 
the frigate 160 feet 6| inches, 16 ports on a side on her 
main deck, will carry long 32-pounder on her main deck, 
aud is to mount 62 guns ; she was nearly planked up iu 
October last, and it was expected would be launched in 
April or May next. The ships building at Baltimore, and 
to the Eastward, are all, 1 understand, of nearly the same 
dimensions as me two at Philadelphia, but much further 
advanced, especially the 47’s one or two of which, is ex expected, 
pected, expected, will be at sea early in the ensuing summer. The 
frigate United Statesis now equipped withß long 32-poun. 
ders on each side her main deck, in lieu of the same num number 
ber number of 24’s, w hich have been transferred to the Mace Macedonian. 
donian. Macedonian. There is a story haw ked about the States, and 
which is cast in every Englishman’s teeth the moment tile 
agreeable subject of our late defeat is brought upon the 
tapis; it is, that the late Captain of our late Macedonian, 
when dining on board Captain Decatur’s ship, before the 
w ar, seriously declared, that 18-pounders are as good as 
24’s, and that he preferred his ship to the United States. 
Whether or not he had some reason to change his opinion, 
may be seen by reading his official letter ; written after tha 
next interview he had with his friend.” 
PROCLAMATION. 
Frenchmen! —Suffer not yourselves to be deceived by 
calumnious repoits, disseminated by malevolence. Be Behold, 
hold, Behold, in the armies of the Allied Sovereigns, only the ar armies 
mies armies of humanity, who have no other enemies but the ene enemies 
mies enemies of peace. Your relatives, your friends, your bro brothers, 
thers, brothers, your children, prisoners in a foreign Land, unite 
their wishes with ours for peace; the first benefit of which 
to them will be, their speedy return to the bosom of their 
families. 
THE CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN TO THE 
FRENCH PEOPLE. 
Frenchmen!— At the command of my King I have ta taken 
ken taken up arms for the purpose of defending the rights of the 
Swedish people. After having revenged the insults which 
they had suffered, and assisted in effecting the liberation 
of Germany, I have passed the Rhine. At the moment 
when I again see this river, on the borders of which I have 
so often and so successfully fought for you, I feel the ne necessity 
cessity necessity of again apprising you of my sentiments. The 
Government under which you live has continually had in 
view to treat you with contempt, in order that it might de debase 
base debase you ; it is high time that this state of things undergo 
an alteration. All enlightened peop'cexpress their wishes 
for the welfare of France, but they, at the same time, wish 
that she may no longer be the scourge of the earth. The 
Allied Monarchs have not united them, to make war up upon 
on upon the people, but to force your Government to acknow acknowledge 
ledge acknowledge the independence of other States; this is their sole 
motive and aim, and I will pledge myself for the integrity 
of their sentiments. Adopted son of Charles the 13(h, 
and placed by the choice of a free people at the foot of 
the throne of the Gustaves, I can henceforward be ani animated 
mated animated with no other ambition than that of securing ffie 
happiness of the Scandinavian Peninsula ; and, at the same 
time, my principal happiness will consist (after having havingfulfilled 
fulfilled havingfulfilled this sacred duty tow ards my adopted country), 
in securing the future happiness of my former country countrymen. 
men. countrymen.
