( Me C th. Members rrcof. At a court of Enquiry assembled on board the United States Ship Chesapeake in the harbor of Norfolk and State of Vir- ginia, by order, of the limbic:. Robert Smith., Secretary of the Navy oF the li- nked States, and continued by adjourn- ment from day to clay from Monday the 5th day of October, 1807, until Wednes- day the 4th day of November, 1807. PRESENT, Captain AiiExandhk Murray, President, and Captains Isaac Hull, *y and Isaac Chauncey iW-fallowing opinion and report was una- nimously given, and directed by the court to be transmitted to the honourable the Secretary of the Navy of the United States. PURSUANT to an order from the Ho- norable Robert Smith, Secretary of the Na- vy of the United States, to Captain Alex- ander Murray directed, dated the t« elfth day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and seven, the court proceeded to inciuire&into the causes of the jnrrender of the Chesapeake, a frigate of the United States then under the command of James Barron. Esquire, a captain in the navy of the United States, to a British ves- 6el.of war, whiehsurrender was made (as is in the said ord*r stated") without that de- fence being made which might have been expected from the known valor of Ameri- cans ; and having heard all the evidence adduced, as well by the Judge Advocate as by the said Captain James Barron, and ha- ving maturely and th roughly considered the same, (Captain James Barron having de- clined to offer any defence) Report to the honourable the Secretary of the Navy of the United States, as by his said warrant is required a state . f the matters touching the said surrender, together with their opinio* thereon, as followeth : 1. It appears to the court, that the U- nited States ship Chesapeake, then under the command of Captain James Barron, Esquire, a captain in the navy of the Unit- ed States, sailed from Hampton Roads, on an intended cruize in the Mediterranean sea, on the morning of the 22d of June last past, having on b ard a crew consisting of more than threa hundred and seventy men, and completely equiped with every thing ne- cessary for such a ship of war, sailing on such a cruise. 1. It appears te the court, that captain Barron was appointed commodore of the ships and vessels destined for the Mediter- ranean service on the 15th day of May last past, and hoisted his broad pendant on b"ard the Chesepeake, the first time he came on hard of her after her arrival in Hamp- ton Roads, to wit, on or about the 6th day of Jime last past. 3- Tt appears to the court that commo- dore Barron visited the Chesapeake only twice during the period she remained inTHaroptoh roads and before he come on board to proceed to sea % on neither of •which "ccasions did he examine particularly into her state and condition. 4. It appears to the court that the puns of the Chesapeake were never exercised be- fore she proceeded to sea ; that her crew were quartered but a few days previous to that time, and had never been called to quar- ters more than three times prior to her sail- ing for sea. 5. It appears to the court, that the ship was reported to commodore Barr n to be ready for sea on the 17th of June, that he came on board on the aitt^ and that the ship sailed on the morning of the »2d of June last past. 6. It appears to the court that antece- dent to the sailing of the Chesapeake, there had been received on board of her some per- sons who had been claimed by the British government as deserters from their service 1>ut who were not ordered to he delivered up by the American officers—That there was also a report in circulation, and generally known on board the Chesapeake, that a threat had been used by the captain of the British ship of war Melamptis, to take these men frouvthe Chesapeake.-—That eom- modore Barron had full knowledge of the facts that such men were on board his ship, that they had been demanded by the British g vernroent and had not been delivered up, I the court are perfectly satisfied ; but no po- sitive evidence has been adduced to prove, that the report of the threat above mentioned •was communicated to him before his ship sailed. 7. It appears to the Court, that the Che- sapeak in proceeding from Hampton Roads to ysea, passed a British squadron at anchor in Lynnhaven bay, who, at the time of her passing them were making signals to eacho- ther, which was not only reported to com- modore Barron by one of his officers, but actually observed by himself- 8. It appears to the court, that the British ship of war Leopard of ?0 guns, one of the squadron then at anchor within the limits of the U. S. weighed immediately after these signals were thrown out, and stood to sea. 9. It does not appear to the court, that at this time there was any vessel in sight, or any other object to induce her to go to sea, but the Chesapeake. 10. It appears to th* court, that at the time the Leopard got under weigh, the wind Was st S. S W. and therefore fair fer her to proceed to sea ; but that instead of availing herself of this to clear the land, she hauled by the wind,'close round Cape Henry, and Stood to the southward, under eafy sail; thereby shewing that n was not her intention to get < S the land speedily. 11. It appears to the court, that after this the wind became light and baffling, and likely to shift, and came out from the east- ward ; that v hen this happened, the Le< purd shortened sail and stood to tilt; eastward. 12. It appears to the court, that after this the wind did come out from about S. S. ii. and that the Leo'paVd then having thus got the went tier gage, pis-served it, by tacking in shore when the Chesapeake did so in order to get off her pilot, and after the Ches- apeake again stood off to the eastward,that tile Leopard wore, and bore down for her. '3 It appears to the cour*, that when the Leopard tacked and stood in shore, on the same tack with the Chesapeake, that her lower deck ports were all triced up. 14. It appears to the court, that when the Leopaul run down for the Chesapeake, she rout led to on her starboard cjttarter, ami to windward of her, and that at tills time her tompions were out or h. r guns. 15 Ir appears tolfrecosrt, that commodore Barron was upon deck observing the Leopard durinffijthe time these manceuvres wereprac tising and these appearances exhibited. Id The court is of opinion, that the cir- cumstances above stated were in themselves so suspicious as to have furnished sufficient warning to a prudent, discreet and attentive officer,'of the probable designs of a ship of war conducted hi that way, and ought to have induced commodore Barron to have prepared his ship for action, especially with the information he possessed of the situation of his crew generally, of those who had been demanded by the British government particularly, and of the general state of the ship at that time. 17. It appears to the court, that commo- dore Barron nevertheless did not order his ship to be cleared for action, and that he did not call his men to quarters. 18. It appears to the court, that when the Leopard came along side of the Chesapeake, an officer was sent from her with a commu- nication from captain Humphreys, the cap- tain of the Leopard, to commodore Barron, which the latter could not and did not mis- understand, but very correctly concluded to be a demand with which he ought not and could not comply, and one which, if refused, would be enforced, if possible. 19. It appears to the court, that although such was the situation and impression of commodore Barron at this time, yet that he did not still order his ship to be prepared for action, although ample time was allowed for that purpose, the British officer being de- tained on board the Chesapeake from 35 to 48 minutes. 20. The court is of opinion, that the neglect of commodore Barron to prepare his ship for action under such circumstances, is a direct breach of the fourth article of the rules and regulations for the government of the navy of the United States, adopted by an act of the congress of the United States, passed on the 23d day of April, 18OO, enti tied " An act for the better government of the navy of the United States." 21. It appears to the court, that after the British officer left the Chesapeake, bearing a positive refusal from commodore Barron to the demand which had been made by capt. Humphries, and after commodore Barron was himself satisfied that an attack upon his ship would be made, he did not take prompt, necessary and efficient means to prepare his ship for battle—That hi«r first or- der was merely to clear his gun deck, and the second given after the lapse of some time, wasio get his men to quarters secret. ly, without beat of drum ; although with such a crew as he had on board, and in such a situation as the ship then was, it was not to be expected that such orders could be ef- fectually, accomplished. 92. It appears to the court that the con- duct of commodore Barron during the at- tack of the Leopard manifested great inde cision, and a disposition to negociate, rather than a determination bravely to defend his ship. That he repeatedly hailed the Leo- pard during her attack upon him—That he drew his men' from their guns to lowering down boats to send on board of the attack ing ship— and that he ordered his first lieu- tenant from his quarters during the attack, to carry a message on. board of the Leopard, at that time firing upon him. 23. It appears to the court, that during the attack, commodore jBarron used lan- guage in the presence of his men, calculated to dispirit his crew, by ordering them to keep down, that they would all be cut to pieces. 34. It appears to the court, that commo- dore Barron ordered the colors of the Che- sapeake to be struck, and that they were struck, before a single gun of any kind was fired from her ; and that at the time they were so struck, her main deck battery was in a situation which would have enabled the return of a broadside iw a very short time. 25. The court is therefore of opinion, that the Chesapeake was prematurely sur- rendered, at a time when she was nearly prepared lor battle, and when the injuries sustained either on the ship or the crew did not make such a surrender then necessary; & that for this commodore Barron falls under a part of the sixth article of the rules and regulations for the government of the navy of the United States, adopted by an act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the 33d of April, 1800, entitled," Am act for the better government of the navy of the United States. 26. The court is of opinion, that although the conduct of commodore Barron, before and during the attack of the Leopard, evinc- ed great inattention to his duty and want of decision, yet that during that attack he ex- posed his person, and did not manifest ei- ther by his orders or actions any personal fear, or want of couragt. »7> Itappearsto the court, that although the Chesapeake might and ought to have been better defended than she was, yet that she was not in a situation at the time ol the attack made upon her, to have enabled so gallant a defence being made as might be expected. Some of her guns were not se- curely fitted in their carriages, some of her sponges and wads were too large, but few of her powder horns were filled, her match- es were not primed, some of her rammers were not in their proper places, her marines were neither supplied with enoughcartrigdes, nor were those which they had of the proper size. None of these circumstances howe- ver could have influenced commodore Bar- ron in striking his colors, because they were not known to him at the time. ab\ The court is of opinion, that the con- duct of all the other officers ofthe'ship, ex- cept those whose duty it was to have reme-,, died the d< ficiencies before stated, and of' the crew generally, was proper, commenda- ble and honorable. A true copy, L. W. TAZEWELL, Judge Advocate. The following /'VDRESS -was on Friday last presented to the president of the United \ States : To THOMAS JEFFERSON1, F'reside r.t of the United States. We, the representatives of the Yearly meeting of Friends, for the Western Shore of Maryland, the adjacent parts of Pennsyl- vania and Virginia, and the state of Ohio, being convened in the city of Baltimore, on those concerns which relate to our society, apprehend that we feel our minds engag- ed" to address thee on behalf of ourselves, and the re'.i^ious society which we repre- sent. i Permit us to say, that whilst we desire to j be preserved from intermeddling'with the ' policy of those governments- under which i we live ; we believe it to be our indispensi- ble duty, consistently with that Christian obligation, in relation to governments, to '• lead a quiet and peaceable lif; under them, in all godliness and honesty." We feel gratitude to the sovereign ruler of the universe in that he hath influenced the councils of the general government of our country, to decide upon several impor- tant subjects, agreeably to the principles of eternal justice and right. Amongst the most prominent of those acts, which claim our approbation, * e are induced to notice the evidences of thy ef- forts to preserve our country from the cala- mities and ravages of war, by cultivating a disposition, and pursuing a conduct marked with conciliation and friendship towards all nations with whom we have intercourse ; thereby avoiding those grounds of dissentton, which are often the sources from whence this desolating scourge has its origin, to the reproach of Christianity. For, as we are firmly persuaded of its obligation as a religious principle, so it is our fervent desire, in regard to all men, that even the smallest germ of enmity may be eradicated. And our ardent prayer to the fater of the universe is, that through the over-ruling order of his providence, the hearts and understandings of his en ing and contending creatures, may be illuminated, so to behold the excellency of brotherly affection, as to become willing t > admit the spirit of universal reconciliation. We are also bound to acknowledge those philanthropic exertions, which have been used to ameliorate the condition of the In- dian natives, by introducing among them a knowledge of agriculture, and of some ol' the mechanic arts We sincerely congratu- late thee on their progress in civilization, and the very encouraging prospect, abund- antly evinced, that this truly benevolent and laudable undertaking will ultimately be crowned with success -anundertaking which whilst it increasingly obviates ahe wretched ness of their former condition converts them from dangerous neighbors to valuable friends. But there remains a subject inexpressibly dear to our hearts, which has particularly interested our feelings. We rejoice in the prospect of a termination to the wrong3 of frica, and that a traffic heretofore legalised in a district of our country, in its nature abhorrent to everyjust and tender sentiment, and reproachful to humanity, to say nothing of christian principles, is interdicted by our government. For the exertion of thy in- fluence, united with the national legislature, (may we not say) to relieve our country, from the complicated evils attendant upon this cruel and inhuman trade, we are enga- ged, through this medium to testify our warmest approbation. And may the future Councils of our coun- try yield to the influence of Him who is called " Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peate;" so that the exercise of additional acts of justice and mercy, towards thisgreat ly oppiessed part of the Human Family, may utterly remove the cries of oppression, from this highly favoured land. With sentiments of respect, due from us to those, who, in the ordering of divine Providence are set over us, we, are thy friends. , Signed on behalf »f the Meeting, by ' GERARD T. HOPKINS, Clk. To the foregoing Address, the President of the U. States returned the following An- swer. foiends and Fellow-Citizens, I thank you for the Address you have kindly presented me, on behalf of that por- tion of the society of friends, of which you are the representatives : and I learn with sa- tisfaction, their approbation of the princi- ples which have influenced the councils of the general government, in their decisions on several important subjects confided to them. The desire to preserve our country from the calamities and ravages of war, by culti- vating a disposition and pursuing a conduct conciliatory and friendly to all nations, has been sincerely entertained and faithfully followed : it was dictated by the principles of humanity, the precepts of the gospel and the general wish of our country ; and it was not to be doubted that the Society of Friends, with whom it is a religious princi pie would sanction i: by their support. The same philanthropic motives have di- rected the public endeavors to ameliorate the condition of the Indian natives, by introduc- ing among them a knowledge of agriculture and some of the mechanic arts, by encourag- ing them to re:oit to these as more certain, and less laborious resources for subsistence than the chase, and by .withholding from them the pernicious supplies of ardent spi- lits. They are our brethren, our neighbors ; they may be valuable friends and troublesome enemies. Both duty and interest then en- join that we sho»ld extend to them the bles- sings of civilized life, and prepare their minds tor becoming useful members of the Ameri- can firmly. In this important work I owe' j to yo.:r society ah acknowledgment that we i have felt the benefits of their zealous co- operation, and approved its judicious directi on towards producing among those people habits of industry, comfortable sabsisteuca, and civilized usages, as preparatory to religi- on, i istructiou and the cultivation of letters. Whatever may have beenthecireums';ances which influenced our fore tattlers to pi nnit the introduction of personal bondage into any part of these states, and to participate in the wrongs committed on an unoffending quarter nf the i;lobe, we may rejoice that such circumstances and such a sense of them exist no longer. It is honorable to the na tion at large that their legislature availed themselves of the first practicable moment for arresting the progress of this great moral and political error ; and I sincerely pray with you my friends, that all the members of the human family, may, in the time pre- scribed by the Father of uS all, find them- selves securely established i»th« enjoyments of life, liberty and happiness.

By the Sally Uarker-Windsor, arrived on Tuesday, in a short passage from Bordeaux, we have French papers to the 5th October. Their contents, excepting the affair of Co penhagen, are not interesting. Prom a gentleman, however, who came passenger in the above vessel, and through the channel of private letters, we are ena- bled to present our readers, with the follow- ing interesting intelligence. More Unwelcome Neivs. Extract of a letter from a house of the first respectability in Antwerp, to another in Bordeaux, dated Sept. 23, and received at Bordeaux, by express, just before the Sal- ly-Barker Windsor, left th* latter place. " We understand an order has been given out by the emperor, to capture every vessel, bound to, or from England, and if with car- goes to be considered as good prize. This is a mortal blow to the American commerce ; and we fear will lead to a rupture between America and France." " It is reported that Mr. Munroe has left London ; but not on account of the exist- ing differences between the two countries ; but by reason of ill health. Mr. Pinckney is said to be charged with the public busi- ness." [The l;rst. paragraph of the above letter was corroborated ar Bordeaux, by letters di- rect from Paris of a late da'e.] A gentleman who came passenger in the Sally-Barker Windsor, informs us, "That two cases of capture, [Ameiicanj made since, and under the decree of the 21st No ye ruber, 1806 were brought before the prize court at bordeaux, a short time before he left that city ; but the court had refused to give an opinion, until fresh instructions should be received from the emperor. These instructions were Called for by the court, and a question demanded Whether this de- cree was to be put in full force against the Americans ? His answer was that in tfFect, the law must operate against them as with all other neutrals " [Boston OazA We 'were vesterrlav favoured »ith the fol- lowing article irora a source which may he relied on, "Ans-ers were given by the Emperor, to the Council of Prizes, on the 23d Sept. last, to the following Questions : 1st. Whether there should be any excep- to the Decree of Nov. 41, 1806, in favour of suah nations, as, by their treaties, were allowed a free trade, or the privilege of neutralizing enemies property ? Answer, That as the Decree contained no exceptions, there should not be any made in its application. 2d. Whether neutral vessels, in ballast, should also be made liable to confiscation, upon the plea of capture, or stress of wea- ther if they had entered a British port ? Answer. That it must lay over for further consideration, 3d. Whether one half of the confiscated property, should, in all cases, be appropria- ted towards indemnifying sufferers by Bri- tish spoliations : The answer-was in the affirmative.'" A letter from a respectable gentleman in Marseilles, dated Sept. 9, says, " That the Emperor has marched an army of 5000 men into Leghorn and Civki Vitia, and laid an embargo on all the vessels lying in those ports." Accounts had been received at Bordeaux, from Mr, Armstrong, at Paris, stating, that a number of American seamen, taken on board of English vessels, during the war, had been liberated. An aiticle, under Genoa head of Sept. 13, states, " That the American consul has been arrested, & seals put upon his papers." No reasons were assigned for the arrest; nor is it probable any will be given. Neither on compulsion—or voluntary con set, are the French disposed to give reasons [at ther con- duct at any time. • Letters from Paris state, that the bounda- ries of Louisiana have been settled by the French emperor to the satisfaction of our minister at Paris.
