Being at this place on a visit, I yesterday received here from Mr. Ramage, late acting as Vice Consul at Havana, under my late commission of Consul for that port, the inclosed papers; of which a list is hereunto subjoined.

These I presume, will close the communications incumbent upon me in my late character, to make to you, and I have only to regret that untoward events should so far have controled my actions as to have rendered my public duties in many respects short of my wishes.

I shall leave Mr. Hadfig to settle his a/ c with your department, as it is unaccompanied with vouchers, and in my opinion many of his charges were incurred unnecessarily.

I have only to add, that I feel greatly obliged, and under the strongest obligations to the president, and to you Sir, for favors experienced, and I trust I shall yet have a future opportunity of evincing my attachment to the govt. and my country, particularly should the frenetic cabinet of Great Britain force us into a war with that power; in which case my voluntary services are now offered to t⟨he⟩ president, in any situation he may please to emp⟨loy⟩ me. I have the honor to be Sir, most respectfully, your very ob Servt.
