Tis fleet anchored in the harbor about 7 o'clock, P.

Thi prudential step was taken by Captain Reid to avoid collision with the overwuc'ming fores in his presence, and to preserve, if possible, the seme of the port from violation Nw other motive coald, gnod | this singular note, as it stands self condemned trom perpenten eke. At 1 o'clock on the moruing ofthe 27th of September, Governor Ribeiro replied to this note of the British commander, aad statos em- phatioally that, ** by it 1 see the motives which in- duce you to violate the neutrasity of this purt, in the contest now existing oetween His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America. They have been sufficiently demonstrated by tue results, and [now lock with alarm at those which may fol- low.” The Governor further says 1 mast, however, assure you, sir, that from the accounts which I have received, it is certain that the British boats were the first to attack ‘the Ameri- ean brig” Ile then reminds the British com- mander that he should now give some public evi- dence of the harmony, friendsh'p, alliance, and good understanding, which exists between “your soveroignand the Prince Kegent of Portugal, by putting « end to the hostilitios begua at 5 o'clock this night.” ‘The next communication from the (iovernor of the Azores to the commander of the britiva squadron succeeding the one just noticed, is dated two o’clock at night, being only one hour after- wards. inthis last note the (iovernor complains that the commander of the #ritish fleet had not considered the letter which he wrote one hour pre- vious worthy of an answer, aud earvesily requests him to “suspend hostilities against the American bng [now lying in this port} until he should have hada conterence with the Governor on the subject, a3 to what may be best for the interests of His Britannic Majesty aad the Prince Regeat of Portugal.” ‘This communication was responded to by His Britannic Majesty's Consul at Faval, who “informs the ir that ‘‘an ollicer from lis Britanni aj ship Piantagenet, came here with a rey that I snoutd accompany him to your Kxeollevey’s quarters.” ‘The British Consul complained of sickness, and de- clined the interview, but proveeded to te:—Llis obje bis to inform you, that th A nericans having this port, the commander wilt soind BA tvai’ tuis squadron to fire om the American seboouer ; aud it raid brig should encounter any bostilities from the castle, or your Excellency shouid allow the masts to be taken from that schooner, he would regard this | island as an euemy of His Brisannic Majesty, aad would treat the town and castic accordingly.” Thus ends this moet extraordinary correspon- dence, which net only fully sustains the pro’ 3 Capt. Keid, but demonstrates beyond the poss ot doubt, the fixed determination of the commander cf ythe British fleet, at the moment hoentered the port of Fayal, to avail himself of tho woukness of that island, and the unprotected condition of the Awerican brig, in the presence of the formidable naval force under his command, to capture the brig without damage to her bull, rigging, or armament, and make her # useful adjunct to the naval force then jying in the by possibility, have st him; nor can aay otber be justly imputed to him a any impartial tribunal. “The act speaks for itself While Cap- tain Keid was endeavoring to place his brig as near as practicable under the guns of the castle, four boats approached his vessel filled with armed men from the fect. Captain Reid repeatedly hailed them, and warned them to keep off, which they dis- regarded. Knowing their object to be the capture of the bri d finding his admonition to them to keep off unavailing, he ordered his mon to fire on them, which was donc, and some of their men were killed and wounded. The boats returned tho fire, killing one man and wounding the first lieutenant ot the American brig. These evouts took place almost simultaneously. The boats thon retreated to the ships, and immediately prepared for another and more formidable attack. The American brig, in the meantime, was placed within half a cable's length of the shore, within balf pistol shot of the castle. Thus situated, Captsia Keid hopod that no further attempt would be made to violate the neutrality of the port, espocially a+ he was w- formed by our Consul thas the Governor of fayat bad solemly protested to the comman of the fleet against any farther vivieace within the waters properly appertaiaing to the kingdom of Portugal. But soon after midnight, twelve or fourteen boats, supposed to contain 400 men, with suall canon, swivels, blunderbusees, and other arme, made a violont attack on the brig, when asevere conflict ensued which lasted near forty minutes, and which terminated in the total dofost and partial destruction of the boats, with immense slaughter of the assailants.

Mortified at these repeated und signal defeats, the British commander determined, at all hazards, to capture the Aimeori- can brig, notwithetanding the remoas:rauces of the Governor of Payal, and the self evideot fact that in the assault, great injory aed destruction of roperty in be town of Payal must, of ne- be the result.

This is the manner in which this bold commander treated, at that time, his friend and ally, and ingbriously taunted him with his weakness to deter him from offert to maintain the neutrality of his port.

It is a full ackaomleigment ‘and assev- cotton, official: made to the Prince Kegeat of Portugal, that the British squadron, commanded by Captain Lloyd, in tho port of I’ayal, were the aggressors, and violated in the most flagrant manner, against the importunities of the (rovernor, the neutrality of that port, by the capture and ion of the General Armstrong. What more can be wanted to establish the respon- ad of Portugal to the owners of the American ue captured and destroyed in violation of the laws of nacions? But if further evideuce is required from the same source. it will be found in the following correspondence, which took place be- tween the American Minister, General Sumpter, and the Marquis de Aguiar, Minister of Foreiga Affairs, written expressly under the instruction of the Prince Regent of Portugal, at Rio Janeiro, to which place the house of Borganza had been driven by the successful invasion of Portugal by Napoleon Bonaparte. _On the 23d of December, 1814, the Minister of Foreign Afiairs at Portugal addressed a communi- cation to General Sumpter, Minister of the United States at Kio Janeiro, enclosing to him a let- ter addressed to Lord Strangford, Envoy I:xtraor- dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Bri- tain at that court, written under the express direction of the Prince Regent of Portugal, by his Minister of Foreign Affairs, the quis do Aguiar, dated22d December, 1814, hereto annexed, marked No. 5. It isa remarkable fact, connected with these letters, that the Minister of the United States at the Court of Portugal had reoeived no information of thy capture and destruction of the brig Cieneral Armstrong, uatil officially informed of it by the communication of the Marquis de Aguiar, above referred to, and that the facts, sen- timents, and coaslusions contained in these letters were purely voluntary on the part of the Prince Ke- nt of Portugal, and were not solicited or expected ry the government of the United States. Nointima- tion had been given at that time of any intention on the part of this government to demand indemnity of the government of Portugal for this violation of her neutrality, nor bad it reached the ears of the President of the United States, or any minister or department of the government, that this ocour- rence hud taken pats, which, had it been knowa, Would assuredly have attracted the attention of the President. In this situation of affaira, it will be Portugal, instructed to that end by his mastor, the analogy M ity fe the @ nity for lestruct would pave eve an apology for the attempt commit ueBe terntory by that ly seeing tha Was unquestionably fired commander did not previously authorities of the country, which was only done by the American Consul after the offem- sive ovocation was committed by said bi and thut the fatal consequences were inevitable’ No one can look at this communication, nomi- nally made by the Minister of Foreign Affuirs of Portugal, with an impartial eye, without see- ing at once that it is of British manufacture. ‘The apology to the Portuguese government, and the indemnification to the inbabitants of Fayal for damages sustained by the Grivg of the British ves- sels, are attributed in this communication to the mag oanimity of his Britannic jesty, who duly appreciated the rashners with whish his offivers acted in the neutral port. Who can doubt tnas these expressions were dictated by the British Min- ister at Portugal, at the time the despatch was written? The pretence that this apology and in- dempification were the voluntary act of bis Britaa- nic Majesty, springing from his own sense of jus- tice, aud appreciating the rashness of his own of- ficers, it is evident, has no foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the efficial letter of the Marquis de Aguiar to Lord Strangford, dated immedia ely after the outrage was committed in the port of Fayal. In that letter the Marquis informs bis lordship that his Royal Highness, the Prince Re- ent of Portugal bad dire: his Mioister at the Jourt of London to make the strongest resen- tations befcre the Prince Regent of the United Kingdom of (ireat Britain, and to require satisfao- tion and indemnification, not only for nis subjects, but for the American privateer, whose security waa uaranteed by the ik oe of & aoutral port. ‘his demand of the P: Regent ot eee ity and sense of justice and not the ma; his Britannic Mujesty, was the real cause of the” restitution made to the inhabitants of Fayal, and the apology to the government of Portugal. ‘The subsisting alhance between the goveramenta of England and Portugal depended on this restitu- tion and apology, and it entered into the policy of the British government to preserve this alliauce um broken, to which cause may be traced the prompti- tude with which this profeesed voluntary act of jus- tice towards the government and people of tugal was made. ‘The next passage in the letter of De Castro, above quoted, is deemed to be unworthy of notice, as every word contained in it is contra- Prince Regent, with all the evidence collected from the Azores before him, expressly declares, that “on a perusal of those papers, bis Mxcellency will ob- serve the outrageous manner in whish that com- mander (Captain Lloyd) violated the neutrality bis Royal Highnoss hat resolved to maintain dur- ing the war that unbappily exists between Ung- land and the United States, by audaciously at- tacking the American prwatcer General Armstrong in the port of Fayal, an@ under the guns of the castle, notwithstanding the remoustrances of the Governor, founded on the laws of nations, and the friendship and alliance that existed between the two sovercigns.”” ‘The Minister of Portugal proceeds further to arimadvert on the illegal proceedings of the commander of the British fleet, and does not hesitate toascribe to him the base attempt ut the time he commenced the unprovoked attack on the Ameri- can privateer, to attribute those violent measures to the breaking of the neutrality on the part of the Americans in this instance by repelling the British armed barges that were sent for the pur, of re- connoitering that versel, advocating with the most manifest duplivity that they were consequently the aggressors. ‘* But what appears still moro sur- prising” continues the Minister, ‘* is the arrogance with which the British commander threatened to consider the territory of his Royal ilighness as ene- mies, should the Governor adopt any measures to prevent them from taking possession of the Ameri- can privateer, which they subsequently plundered and set on fire.” Tho despatch goos on with an im- plied censure on the Governor of the Azores for not pectin the brig while in the neutral port of ‘ayal, and excuses him from the penalty of the dis- pleasure of the Princo Regent and consequent re- moval from office, by the peculiar circumstances in which he was play ith the belief that the isand would have been ked and depredations com- The minister, after giving the full details con- ansaction, informs Lord Strang- London, “ to make the strongest before the Prince Regent of the United Kingdom, and to require satisfaction and indemnification, not only for his subjec fpiaidinnctrny ae sivdgakita’ or 8 itu he letter in which tho foregoing dosy closed gives in sub=tance the same det untarily recognizes, without reserve, the Britis naval commander as the aggressor and the of the neutral position of Portugal between the two belligerente. ‘Thus stood the matter at the time, and immedi- ately after the outrage had been committed, when all Che facts were fresh on the minds of the actors in these scenes, and the impressions made on all who witnessed the bloody conflict, as well as on the authorities of Portugal at Rio Janeiro, were the re- sult of these facts which are incorporated in every State paper cmanating from the government of Portugal, in relation to this disastrous afia: ‘The formal demand on lingland for indomnitisa- tion and satisfaction, as well in behalf of Portugal jon.

These delays were occa sioned, as will appear by the correspondence, by the pecuhar condition of the government of Portugal, to urge this claim on her, until that government eh uh be placed in # better situation and under bet wpicet ; but the owners have never failed to make contiual claim, and from time to time, to | urge the government of the Unitod States to a speedy demand on the government of Vortugal for full indemnity to which they are enti .

During this administration the subject of this claim war again called to the attention of the gov- ernment of Portugal, under instruction from the Department of State of the Umited States, to Mr. Cavanagh, the Charge @’ Affairs at that court. It iy the correspondence on file at the De- ‘of State of the United States, that a de- mand for mnity was received by the Ameri Charge by a note to the Minister of Foreign Aflairs of Portugal, dated 17th February, 1837, to which no written reuly evor returned, but in conversa- tion held by Mr. Cavanagh with the Minister of Foreign Afairs on the ith of Marsh, 1837, tho Minister of Portugal assigned as & reason for not baviog anewered tie note of Mr. Cavanagh, bis want of information o the sabject of this claim, and to obtain such information, he had ordered anexamina- ton of the whole matter to be made.

But, iffurther evidence if wanting to demonstrate the utter falsehood of the declaration in this letter, thatthe American brig was the aggressor, aud, in fact, violated the neutrality of Portugal, it can be abundantly found in the action of the fritieh go- vernment itself, and of the officers of the squadrva, by whom this outrage was committed. Jt will be seen that the captain of the American brig iost ne time in making the requisite protert before the American Consul at the port of Fayal, sett forth, under oath, the attack which been made by the British fleet on the vessel commanded by him, which led to her destruction, after a bloody conflict. 1t may be asked it Captain Lloyd had at that time regarded the American brig as the aggressor, why did he not encer a like — before the Consul of His Britannic Majesty? 1t is im evidence that be remained in port one week after he had suceceded in the destruction of the brig, and yet he took no step whatever to implicate Captain Reid as the firsc to violate the neutrality of the port The American Consul, imam after these occurrences, made an official report to his government, and to the Governor of the Azores, detailing the facts as they occurred, and charging on the commander of the British fleet, the viola- tion of the neutrality of Portugal.
