MR. WAYNE,
Sir,
THAT the public mind may
not be milled by the different statements
which have been published relpetting
the capture of Curracoa, I request you
tq insert, in your paper, the copy of a
Detail, which I tranfmirt«d to the Se
cretary of the Navy, on my arrival at
this place.
1 have finee received letters from Cu
racoa, which enable me to state, that
the specie which was detained by Cap
tain Watkins, has been restored to the
American Consul, by order of Lord H.
Seymour.
AU American vcfiels that were in the
harbour of Curacoa previous to the ca
pitulation, has been compelled to pay
" a faivage to the British.
I am, Sir,
Tour obcdr. fcrvaut,
W. D. ROBINSON.
COPT.
ON the j»h of September the French
force fct Curracoa commenced ofTenlive acts
agaiiifl the Dut«h, and particularly intiira
ftfd their defi n> (by a manifelto) againll
American person* and property. On (he j
6th. the American Coniul requcfted me to i
go tk>' it. Kitts, with a view to procure
force alfcftaree from tht {Xnitcd Slate* Ships
on that Ration. On the 14th I arrived at
St. K »ts, and found there the Frigate
John Adams, and Sloops of War Mcrri
siach and Paupfco— l'o Captain Croi» jt
the John Adams I presented my papers, and
explained the nature of my eriand, urging t
him immediately to go Jown to Curracoa, i
he joined me in opinion, as to the necelfity ,
and Angularity of the c.le, but exprtfled a !
delicacy at leaving his Nation at that time ;
however, he cheerfully gave his conitnt for
the departure of the two aforementioned
floopr. of war. Accordingly Capts. Brown
and (Jeddes, (with a promptitude that evin
ced their zeal fur the itrvice) prepared for
fta, and failed the ensuing day. On the
aid LA. we appeared oft" the harbour of
Curn.ccoa, tleie wr uifcovered a Britilh
frigaoc laying windward cf the port;
she sent her beat on board the Merrimack,
by which we learnt, that the illand had ca
pitulated on the 10th inll. to Frederick Wat
kins, Fl'q. commander of the frigate Nereid,
and tfiat the American Consul with hit fa
mily, was in said Frigate. I immediately
nt on board the Nereid and h»d fomc
•onverfatioii with the commander and our
Consul relating to the capitulation See.
after which 1 went on fliore, waited on the
Governor, and other officers, and lUted the
arrival of the two Sloops of War, whole
object was to protett American per ions and
property. '1 he Governor repl.td, that no
Wcdtive relict could be afforded, unlets, one
of the Sloopi of War came into th« harbour.
All the officers both civil and ly.ilitary hav
ing declared that the salvation of the island
depended ou the American Ships atting j
ofter.lhely.— I gave it as my opinion, that
the Amer.can Commanders were not author
ized by ttarir tnfti ucliuns to attack the
' in the petition they then luld. The
-Governor uul Fiscal laid, that unless fume
thing-decifive was t done the inhabitants in
the Garnfon, as well as the Americans,
Would all be facrifiard. That night 1 thud
"on {hore with a view to ascertain the adual
situation of thiHgs, and obl'erved that a
confidcrable number of American citizens
(ltd veluntee'd their fei vices in the forts and
were placed at the principal batteries, from
♦ whence they could not retreat (Of courl'e
would have been seriously fittiated, had the
French taken the place by storm. Under
these considerations I advised Mr. Phillips
to recommend one of the Ships to be feet
into the harbour, he coincided in my opin
ion, and I went on board the Merrimack,
£apt. Brown, and after dating the urgency
and peculiarity of the circomftancrs, he re- |
solved to fend 20 Marines from his own.
Ship, and to dispatch the Pataplco on the
undertakiag. On the 93d infi. the Pstaplco
entered the harbour amidst a very heavy fire
frofn tlie French battery's, which conlifhd
of -4 or 6, >4 pounders. After she had en
tered tha. harbour the mufyuetry from the
of the
65 I 65 | 62 | (J2
® O
French (who wcr;- meketed fcelnnd the walls
and sn the houles on /bore) became very
warm and incessant, but the peculiar spirit
with which the Patapfco kepi up her fire for
about 2 hours, completely fnmced the enemy.
As I was a palTenger on board, and had
an opportunity of observing the condutt of
the officers and crew of the Patapfco, it af
fords nit peculiar pleasure to (Vate their en
■ thuliafrh and good conduct an this occaii
i on—and when it is coiilideied that for
near three hours we were within half gun
Ihot of the enemy who kept tip a continual
discharge of inufquetry, it is as Angular, as
• fortunate, that only two persons were woun
ded. On the 24th infunt,Captain Geddcs
sent jo men men on Ihore, which together
with tweuty from the Sierrimack, were Bn
der the command of the lieutenant of Ma
rines from the Patapfco :—they were Rati
oned at a poll on one wing of the batteries
which, in cafe of an attack on the town,
would have been the firtt ofijeft of aiTault.
It was confidently reported and believed,
that the French, intended to make an assault
that night, but while this event was ex
pelled, the French camp was evacuated,
and taking advantage of the darkness of the !
eight, they precipitately embarked between
8 and n o'clock, cut their cables and made
away. On the morning of the 25th the
(•Merrimack flood close in with the lai d and
| had the mortification to find the place which
j the tfetich Vtflels occupied the day prece-'j
[ ding, entirely vacated -.ln Bfit.lh fri'gatr
j difco-tfcriilg this to he the cal'e, immediately
made preparations For entering tb« hsib.our,
and oboij .1 i o'clock the ijth
instant, cam: into the port, and took put
feffion of the place in the name of l.is Bi 1.
tannic Majesty.
. From this representation it is obvious,
tbut the Britifb frigate Nereide rendered no
effedlive affiftancr to the inhabitants us Gur
racoa, a) the commander of her did not
think proper to ventme. the (hip through the
fare of the French batteries in entering the
harbour, noi* dttl be deem it prudent to at
tack the Freuch privateers, though they lay
in such a poliuon as rendered the enterprile
practicable and easy but it is prtluiued
he did not wilh to run any riflt until iie re
ceived a .reinforcement from Jamaica, and
merely kept cruiling off the pou in view of
; the Frencn camp and veffch. The trigate
had only landed lix or seven men and was
holding daily communication witb the
Dutch Governor, which tlie French from
their lituation observed, consequently, lot!
;no time in preparing for the *ffauit of the
town, which they continued bombarding
until the American Aocps of war appeared
off the harbour, and oil that morning nad
actually advanced with a piincipal part of
I their force witbiu a few hundred yards of
the main fortification, with an intention to
take it by aiTault; but frfcing the two itoeps
i of war, they were d.icoucei uu and retreaicu
Ito their camp. What 1 oho wed until-their
evacuation has been previously Dated —lt
j thereforr appears, that had not the Aiacrican
1 (hips arrived at Gurracoa on the 2id inft. the
1 Hand would, to a certainty .been taken by t l;e
French, and of course the capitulation wauld
have teen a nullity. The l utapfco St Mei
rimack i ave ti.er t :«e rescued the iHand from
a mod feriout diieimna, as I have no doubt
but a principal part of the inhabitants, toge
ther with all the Americans, would have
been facri filed, had the French ftfcceeded.—
i'hat the said fliips have put captain Wat
kins 111 peaceable poflrlTion of the island does
not therefore admit of any dispute, as the re
inforcement from Jamaica had never made
its appearance—in what manner the Ameri
can citizens have ben treated for this eiTen
tial service, will befl appear by the following
detail.
lii the afternoon of the 15th inft. captain;
Brown and Geddes, waited on captain Wat
kins, and informed him, that as their object
to Curracoa was the prote&ioti of American
citizens and their property, they weredclir
out that all the Amcricau velfels in putt
(hould prepare for departure under their con
voy :—He replied, mod certainly, aiU that
be bad not the ImaUtft wifli to throw the
least obftatle in their way, but that they
might fell, load, and depart, as heretofore.
The American captains were tben atfembled,
and informed that the Merrimack and IV
taplco would give them convoy through the
Mono pallage in ten days. This being
concluded, the said Watkins dated to Capts.
Brown and Gciides, that he received posi
tive information of another expedition having
filled from Gutdaloupe for Curiacoa, and re
queued them to go and cruifw off the Island
while the American velfels were getting
ready for sea accordingly the two Jhips
went out, and after cruding ten days, re
turned to Curracoa ; but to the furpnfe and
mortification of the American commander?,
they learnt that an embargo was laid oil all
tfce American vcflcls, and that none of them
were permitted to load any produce. ::On a*
explanation being demanded of Watkins,
he said, that he found it luxeffary to detairi
the vefltl} until the reinforcement arrived
from Jamaica, and untiLa prsper Court of
Admiralty was elUblilhed at Curracoa, but
after their buflnefs was inveliigated, they
Ihoukl be fuflfered to depart, and in (Utifrc
a'lowed the fame indulgences, as with other
ot his Britannic Majefy'? iljands in the
Weft-Indies. 'l'hus were' the American
sloops of war obliged to return to-St. Kitts,
without knowing the ilTue. Ciptxin Wat
kins has granted commilfions to five or fix
fin»!l vefiels, who crui'z* in the vicinage of
Curracoa, and capture all American velfels,
110 matter where bi>und, or of what tluir
cargoes conlifl, and the Merrimack and Pa
tapfco had the mortification to fee two or
three vefliijs captured and sent in, without
having it in their power consistent ivitt tbtir
present instructions to interfere. The cap
ture of the fchoMier George, belonging te
William Patter Con of Baltimore, is attended
with such extraordinary circomftances, a? I

he had good reasons for so doing, but he did
not with to be bothered by them, and if they
had any thing to do, or fay, on thebufinefs,
it nit|ll be done 'through their sonful, accord
ingly Mr. Phillips,.accompanied by Captains ]
Brown and Geddes, waited op.hirn, and re
queued his reasons, syr taking poffeffign of
the George, without any investigation or
trial whatever—he replied, she was a '' dam
fine fqhooner" and lie mutt have her to fend
some dispatches to England—as to the cargo
he would 41 fend it-to. Jiniaijca for trial, where
lie had no doubt ji, would be condemned, as

called contraband,- and he produced three
bales, marked W. P. No. SS, 60 knd <2, two
of which wjrre -aAually an inferior species of

Mr. Phillips expnefled his surprise at theai

strated with Captain Watkins, but to no ef-
IfiS,; the only fatisfaftion that catlid be got
w is, that he would do a* lie pleased, and if

but that the ferwet- required the of
