Rogers and myself, waited on the Bey at the palace. After having come to a final arrangement in the affair of the prize, by the Com- modore's engagement to cause all Tunissian proper- ty to be restituted, the subject t)f the loan before mentioned was brought forward. The question was asked the Bey whether the Commodore was arrested by his order ? He answered evasively ; by saying it was not customary for a Commodore ever to depart without making him a visit of congee ; and that he had been info...rmed carriages were ready for the pur- pose the morning of the fourth. It is true that, the evening of the 3d, the Commo- dore had concluded to see and take leave of tlie Bey ; and that the morning following, carriages were prepared for the purpose. The commercial agent had said to him, he thought the affair of the prize might be arranged without difficulty at the palace ; and that delay might be obtained for the payment of this balance by engaging the good offices of tlie Min- ister. But the equivocal and suspicious behavior of the government relative to the prize reclamations, as stated in my report of yesterday, had determined the Commodore to go on board ; to make his further communications with the palace through the medium of the consulate ; and to leave to me the adjustment of this balance.
