your late ship's books, and give up also two mates or mid- 

 shipmen, for the two mates which are of the English party. 

 I hope this may prove satisfactory to your government and 

 self. 1 am yours^ &;c.

Valparaiso f 5th Aprils 1814. 



. Sir, 



The arrangement which you have suggested re- 

 specting the exchange of the seamen of the Sir Andrew 

 Hammond, for an equal number of the seamen of the late 

 United States Frigate Essex, as they stand on the list fur- 

 nished you, is perfectly satisfactory. It will be a great 

 satisfaction to the three officers who accompany the Essex, 

 to know that after your object in taking them with you 

 shall be effected, there will be no difficulty in their pro- 

 ceeding immediately for the United States. I take the 

 liberty therefore to suggest that they might be exchanged 

 here for Captain William Porter and his three mates. 

 This will be an accommodation to all parties, and reconcile 

 the officers so exchanged to a separation from their friends. 



I have the honour to be, Szc. 

 (Signed) D. Porter. 



Commodore James Hilly ar, commanding his 

 majesty^ 8 frigate Phmbe.
