DEAR SiR--After boisterous and tedious pas
sage of twenty-eight days, we arrived at Madeira.
Here we remained eight days, and were entertain
ed with the usual hospitality Of our Consul, Mr.
Marsh, andsvice Consul, Mr.. Bayman. II would
be gratifying TO US had we few more such Consuls
as he to represent us in foreign ports. From Fun
chal we sailed for this place, touching tor forty
eight hours at Tenerif1e. We arrived here on the
9Th, and found the Macedonian and Decatur IN
port. The Preble came in yesterday from Blssao,
where she had been TO protect some property from
the natives. Some of her officers and crew have
the fever, but am happy to say that all are recov-
ering She sails to-day for the island OF st. vin-
cent to recruit her crew. The Truxton ls at Mon
rovia The Decatur sails on Monday for Norfolk.
We leave this evening on four months, cruise
along the coast frsm Monrovia to the bight OF
Benin. Our ship has been, and still is, very
healthy Provisions are scarce here, and think
il vessel would come out here, or on the coast,
with stores for the officers messesthe would hnd
a ready sale.
