Salva dor, Captain Porter was now greatly at a loss which way to steer, in order to join the other ships. It was near the end of January, 1813, . And, in point of fact, the Constitution had left the coast on the 6th of that month, on her way home. As the Hornet followed her on the 24th, in determining to act for himself, during the remainder of the cruise, Captain Porter came to a happy decision. An American frigate, at that day cruising under the circumstances- of the Essex, was in a very pecu...liar and difficult position. The influence of Great Britain extended over the whole of the Southi American continent, and nothing had been done by the American; government to counteract it. In all the ports, on the east side of the continent in particular, little was to be expected from any of the local authorities ; and the nation was totally without depots, or any provisions whatever, for the equipment of a man-of-war, out of its own ports. Even those that existed at home, were imperfect, on a small scale, and very insufficient.
