This series of successes has been tarnished only by the conflagrationsat Washington, a _coup de main_ differing from that at Richmond, whichyou remember, in the revolutionary war, in the circumstance only, thatwe had, in that case, but forty-eight hour's notice that an enemy hadarrived within our capes; whereas at Washington there was abundantprevious notice. The force designated by the President was the double ofwhat was necessary; but failed, as is the general opinion, throughthe insubordinat...ion of Armstrong, who would never believe the attackintended until it was actually made, and the sluggishness of Winderbefore the occasion, and his indecision during it. Still, in the end, the transaction has helped rather than hurt us, by arousing the generalindignation of our country, and by marking to the world of Europe theVandalism and brutal character of the English government. It has merelyserved to immortalize their infamy. And add further, that through thewhole period of the war, we have beaten them single-handed at sea, andso thoroughly established our superiority over them with equal force, that they retire from that kind of contest, and never suffer theirfrigates to cruise singly.
