Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Correspondence, &C
As to the preservation of the Caledonia after capture, you will recollect that she, as well as the Detroit, was exposed through the day to the enemy's fire; that about the time you quit the latter, and the British got temporary possession of her, Mr. Watts left the former, taking with him the seamen and prisoners; while my detachment remained on board, landed part of the cargo, and got the brig near in shore. You will also recollect, you determined the Caledonia should be burnt, as well as the Detroit, to prevent re-capture but that the person you sent was not permitted to execute your order.
