having understood from Mr. Jorgensen himself 
how he was situated with regard to England, 
Captain Jones considered himself called upon by 
his official situation to interfere in a business in 
which the honor of his country appeared to him 
to be implicated, and he accordingly issued orders 
that the new Icelandic flag should be taken 
down ; that Mr. Phelps should no longer leave 
the command of the island in the hands of Mr. 
Jorgensen, but should, till the will of the British 
government could be known, either restore the 
former authorities, or commit the supreme com¬ 
mand to some of the most respectable among the 
inhabitants ; that the battery should be destroyed, 
and the guns taken off the island; that the na¬ 
tives should be no longer trained to the use of 
arms ; that an account of the proceedings should 
be prepared and dispatched to the British govern¬ 
ment; and that Mr. Jorgensen and Count Tramp 
should be forthwith sent to England. 
of what transpired at this time than I have thought necessary

B., Nos. 6 and 7. No. 8 of the same Appendix is the copy 
of a letter from Captain Jones to Admiral Sir Edmund 
Neagle, explaining in few words his motives for having in¬ 
terfered in the manner he did.
