theie important objects. We underitand
that Gen. Eaton reached Derlie, about the
lAit of April, when he inftantly attacked
the Baihaw'S army, and defeated II with
ilttle lois, himlclt being wounded in the
right arm 70 as to render it uIelers The
tew A~ericans who were in the a6tion,
dliplaYed courage that confounded the
Turks they were appointed to lead the
attack which iervice they performed in =
! manner that did honor 10 their ceuntrv.
We underftand thar at the time Gen. Ea-
ton attacked the army BY land, tha, capt.
Hull IN the Argus, capt. Dent in the Nau-
titus, and Lieut.. Evans Of the Hornet bomb
ketch, attacked the batteries by lea.


Gen. Eaton's army was, we underfand,
rcmpoftd 6f 500 men, and that of the
Baihaw's Of 5000. This intrepid little band
marched 300 miles acroIs the Sandy De/trts,
through hottie country, and had fe,eral
partial actions before the decifvc one at
Derne. Gen. Eaton was wounded when
IN the act of cutting down a SEEK of the
Bahaw's army


The reiult of this action appears to have
been an Immediate propetal from. the Bath
aw Tor peace Col. Lear went Immediately
to lriPoli, ana treaty Of peace WIS Ggned
on the Sd Of June, and our colntrymcn re-
leated the next day 'Thc terms we cannot
learn fully, but WE underltand that as far as
we had iripoitans they were exchanged
man for man, for the balance Of Americans,
we are to pay $4,000 dollars. Some pro-

on to Warrington, we mllt fufpcnd our

The Prcfdent left Syracufe the 7th
Of July: The following was the detribG-
ton of the American fqtadrcn at that time.
The frigates Conaitlton, Conitellation, and
Etlex, with the brigs Syren and Vixen, and
bomb ketck Hornet, were at Syracufe
the Argus had failed Eor Egypt, and the
Nautilus for MeGna. Tie frigate John
Adams and two gun boats anchored the day
the PreGdent failed. Gen. Eaton failed for
the United States in a merchant vefel.
The Ex-Bafhaw was at Syracute when the
PreGdent failed The Prefdent on her paf-
iage to Gibraltar got near the Spanifa coat,
was taken for Britilh frigate, and fred
upon from the batteries.


In addition to the above, we have il from.
Mr.. Devr, who was on Board one Of the
bombarding vefIels during the attack on
Dfrne, that out of 800 Americans engaged
on thore, there were only five killed, which
took place at the time Capt. O'Banon, who
was fecond In command, had, with his lit
tie band, icaled the walls and pulled down
the 'Turkilh flag IN place of which he i'm
mediately hoiited the American fandard


The prelent Baliiaw of 1-;1p7iy is flated
BY our Oatcers TO be man of conflderable
talent and bravery, mixed with great cruelty,
although they did not experience themfelves
any uncommon fhare Of the lzf quality
at one time on the attack of the brave PrrbE,
when every man was driven from fort bet
the Bafhaw, he remained, coolIy examining
the operations With fpy-g glafs. After the
action OF Eat51'5, that led to peace, ke
qvas heard TO declare, that if he fhorld ap-

III his powers Mr. Lear has been blamed
for making treaty PreciPitately and tefore
the appearance of the feet, but as The dan
ger Of the prifoners was imminent, and
their releafe the principal Object Of the war,
it would appear that no momeut that could
attain this delir3ble end was 10 be waited in
calculations Of tuture fuccefs, and that n
embracing the very fra opening to releafe
them from the cruelty Of the Balhaw, and
lhuttng the door forever on the rernrn u
his caprice or the chance Of future even<s,
he acted with the Wifdom and p1eciGon Of
politician and patriot.
