NOMlPM GAEdLIiN SENTlJn MIL from the Boston Commertial Gazette June 21 History of the Frigate Constitution; . Commonly called Old-Ironsides. As in the bourse of a few days the above noble shin will' be hauled into the new dry New York, preparatory to a long cruise, and on the 17th discovered and was chased by a British squadron, consisting of the Africa 64, Shannon and Guerriere 38, Belvidere 36, and Eolous 32, under the command of Com.

In Russell's Boston Commercial Gazette of the next Monday, we find the following notice : effects, soon increased the distance, and ren dered any further exertions in warping and towing unnecessary.

The tide being final adieu to her kind friends on the 19th, after amply full, she descended into the bosom ol tne a cnase 0f nearly three days and three nights, ocean with an ease and dignity, which while it and arrived safe in Boston on the 26th of July, afforded the most exalted and heartfelt plea- Tnis has aiwavg been considered, and un sure and satisfaction to the many thousand doubtedly was, oneof the mostbrilliantexplohs spectators, was the guarantee of her safety, lnat occlirred during the war. The deep feel- 1 .1 , 1 41 A A...nnn oh Alllrl and ine pieuge mat nu uttuncutc duuuiu mar the ioyous sensations that every one ex perienced, and which burst forth in reiterated shouts which " rent the welkin." On a signal being given from on board, her ordance on shore announced to the neighboring country, that the CONSTITUTION WAS SECURE. Too much praise cannot be given to Col. Clag horn, for the coolness and regularity displayed in the whole business of the launch; and the uni versal congratulations he received, were evi dences of the public testimony of his skill, in telligence, and circumspection." The severe labor that attended her birth, which was only affected at a third trial, was seized upon by the enemies of the navy, who at that time were numerous and powerful, as prophetic of ill-luck ! With how little reason, her brilliant career fias fully demonstrated. We may safely challenge the annals of naval history to name the ship that has done so much to nil tne measure oi iiei tuuim y givi j . sailed on her first cruise on Sunday, the of July, 1793, and in the Commercial zctte of the next morning we find the lowing: " Yesterday sailed on a cruise for the lection of our commerce, the frigate Constitu ent commanded bv Capt. Samuel Nicholson. This noble frigate reflects honor She 22d pro- on all con ing the intense anxiety that reigned through out the ship during this long and arduous chase and which were pictured in the countenances of all on board in characters too strong to be mistaken may be imagined, but cannot be described. Let us suppose for a moment, it had been the destiny of this fine ship to have fallen thus early in the war, into the handa of the enemy a misfortune as has already been shown which was only eacaped as it were by miracle what a vast difference it would have made at the close of the war, not to speak of the great moral influence of a first victory, in the profit and loss of our naval glory, and al though the balance would still have been great lv on our side, vet the sum total would have been very sensibly or nearly one half dimin ished. In the first place the loss of so fine a frigate at this early period would have been ir reparable, and in following up tr e consequen ces three of the most splendid victories of the war, together with the same number of hair breadth escapes from a superior enemy, would now have to be deducted from the aggregate of our glory, making a difference, both ways, of more than 200 guns and almost 1500 men. After remaining a few days in port she sail ed again, and on the 19th August precisely .1 f. I 1 one montn alter ner escape was juckv cerned in her construction; on the agent for enough to fall in with one of the same frigates obtaining every material of the best kind for cruising alone and with her name emblazoned her equipment, and tor naving tne same manu- Kn iarcre characters in her ioretopsail.

As soon as the two ships were within whis- pering distance, an explanation commenced, which, after a close conference of thirty w in utes, ended to the complete satisfaction o Captain is a brave and experienced comman der, in whom may b6 reposed perfect confi dence. Her Lieutenants are young men, who have commanded merchant ships with appro bation, and of whom lair expectation may be Capt. Hull. She proved to be H. B. M. fri entertained, ner crew are, wuu veny iew ci- ffate iiuerriere, Uant. Lfacres, ol 4y guns and m I rD w own coast, and the perfect wreck we made of the enemy s frigate, forbade every idea of at tem pting to take her to the United States. I had therefore no alternative left but burning her, which I did on the 31st of December, after receiving all the prisoners and their baggage, which was very hard work, only having one boat left out of eight, and nofc one left an board the Java." After blowing her up, the Constitution returned to Boston, where she arrived on the 18th of February, 1813. j Well do we remember being at the Federal street Theatre, when the news of this victory was announced from thej stage by the manager, Mr. Powell; and shortly after, when the gal- ant Commodore, together with some of his officers appeared in one of the boxes, the whole house resounded for many minutes with the cheering of the audience. The veteran Cooper, then in the prime of life, was in the second act of Macbeth, and although he stood a little behind the scenes, entirely forgetting the gracious Duncan he had murdered, we saw him swing his cap round with as much enthusi asm as any one. In June, 1813, Capt. Charles Stewart was appointed to her command, and on the 30th of December, she proceeded to sea, notwithstan ding Boston was then blockaded by 7 ships of war, and sately run the gauntlet tnrougn tne whole of them. She 'returned on the 4th of April, 1814, and was chased into Marblehead by two of the enemy 'sheavy frigates, LaNymphe andJunon. About the middle of December 1814, she proceeded on her second cruise under Capt. Stewart, and on the 28th of Feb. off Madeira, fell in with and after a severe action of 40 min utes, succeeded in capturing H. B. M. ships Cyane of 31, and Levant 21 guns, and 3i8men. A more perfect specimen of nautical skill was probably never witnessed, than was exhibited throughout the whole of this memorable battle. The advantages of a divided force, or as the boys call it, of two upon one, are well known to all, particularly to men of naval science. A ra king fire is almost always very sure to be deci sive of the fate of a battle: and to have avoided this from either of her opponents, and with a leading breeze too, is indeed miraculous, es pecially when we recollect that the Constitu- ion succeeded in raking bothof her antagonists more than once during the engagement. After taking possession of her prizes, the hree ships made ships for the Cape de verd Islands, and on the 14th of March came to another in the harbour of Port Praya in the Island of St. Jago. Two days after this. a squadron of the enemy hove insight, consis ting of the Newcastle and Leander, ol 50 guns each, and the Acastai frigate of 40, the whole under the command of Sir George Collier, and in 7 minutes after the discovery was made, the Constitution with her two prizes had cut their cables, and were under way, being at this time only about gun shot! to the windward of the enemy-, ine Levant was recaptured, ine Cyane had the good fortune to escape and now forms a part of our nvy. The Constitution continued her cruise, and shortly after returned to Boston, where she was for the third time re ceived with every possible demonstration of i i - . i mi i k r l joy and exuitauon. j ine last news irom ner had been brought by the Cyane, arrived at New York, when the above squadron was left chase, and she had heard a heavy cannona- re's loss, killed, wounded and these remarks a place in your "P1 lfre 103; the Java's 161 ; Cyane's 38; I hope thevWill add to VnnjTf1 1 wherP UY luuuuuig buiuc wiiu now borrow The prisoners were to subscribe for it themselv. . .J01 PPer. ; r- .1 .

It would seem that nothing is wanting to render this ship and her crew perfect, but that experience, which can only result from actual exercise at sea." She returned from this cruise about the mid Ale of November. This was during the brief war with the French republic. We notice the appointment of Isaac Hull as her 4th Lieuten ant, who, after the lapse of 14 years, was fortu nate enough to occupy a higher station on her quarter deck, when the charm of British in vincibility was destined to be broken. On the 28th of December of the same year, she again sailed from Boston harbor, on her second cruise, from which she returned a few months after, without having had the good luck to fall in with any of the enemy's national ships.

She was accordingly burned, and the Constitution returned again to Boston, where she arrived on the ,30th of Au ffust. IN ever shall we torffet the enthusiasm o - .... . . with which she was received. The news arrived in town during divine service on Sunday morning, and the crowd thatflbeked to State street to hear the particu lars of such a glorious victory? and the shouts that rent the air, tuny evincea tne oeep nuer est that was felt by every class of the commu nity. The ship had anchored in President roads about five miles from town, and in the after noon the harbour was alive with pleasure boats, anxious to take a closer view of Old Ironsides, and to exchange congratulations with her gal lant crew. We among hundreds of others sailed round her several times, endeavoring in vain to trace the effects of an engagement with a British frigate of nearly equal torce, that had i terranean. She remained there about three occurred only eleven days before, and in which years, after which she returned again to the her antagonist was entirely demolished in the United States, and as it to add one more to the in ding shortly after lbsing sight of her, so that the most intense anxiety had tor some time been entertained for her safety. Peace had now been proclaimed, and to have lost this noble vessel and her gallant crew at this late hour, and I after such a catalogue of glorious services too,! would have cast a gloom over the whole country. No wonder then that her safe arrival, after so many " moving accidents by flood and field ;" and after having escaped so many perils of 'the waters, winds Land rocks" should be greeted with such universal enthusiasm. Capt. Stewart not only received the thanks of Con gress, but of almost (every State Legislature then in session, and from many quarters some more substantial marks of approbation. After this, Old Ironsides was taken to the Navy Yard and immediately dismantled, where she remained unemployed, we believe, with a single exception, till the sprinsf of 18:5, when she was again fitted out and sailed under the command of Capt. Daniel T. Patterson, to join the squadron in the Medi- short space of half an hour. We could hardly believe our own eyes no serious damage whatever was visible; now and then a place or in almost as perfect order as when she left the harbour only about three weeks before; indeed it seemed to us like Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego, she had passed the fiery ordeal en tirely unscathed. This was indeed a new state of things, and served not a little to in Them. In Ma v. 1803. Com. Edward Freble was appointed to the command of this favorite ship, and in June he sailed with the squadron destined to act against Tripoli. To all conver sant with this scene of war, it is well known the Constitution acted act bore the blunt of the battle.

We have now we believe briefly touched up on most of the leading incidents in the event ful history of this favorite ship; doubtless there are many others well worth recording, but which can be only known to those who at the time of their occurrence were on board of her. We have never been able to find any but very unsatisfactory accounts of her operations before Tripoli, and the other Barbary States. A complete and impartial history of the move- i j .i ments ot our several squaurons in tnese seas from 1803 to the present moment, would not only prove extremely interesting, but as a mat ter of record would be invaluable. We sin cerelv hope some competent person may be found who is willing to undertake it. . .1 ..... About 12 years since tne constitution was hove out and completely examined at the Navy xardin Charlestown, when her timbers, 6lc were found to be in remarkable good order, : fact which, after 5! years wear and tear an hard service redounds not a little to the credit of the old fashioned mechanics of Boston, In her actions with the Guirriere and Java ene mounted 54 guns, and-62 when- engagedi works to place on the shelves of my library, and by the exercise of a little extra economy, I find them all within my reach. My troubles in pursuing this course remain to be told. I have half a dozen neighbors, worth ten times more than I can ever expect to be men who have written on their faces in characters that their improvident neighbours are often com pelled to read, we have cash to lend ! yet who think if they receive a single solitary weekly newspaper, they are on the verge of extravagance. Such are the men who borrow, and to whom, to speak the truth and shame the devil.' I dislike to lend. They have money enough to lend at ten or twelve per cent., but as to buying a book or a Magazine, oh its folly, they cannot afford it. Now this course, or this opinion of theirs, would be nothing to me, did it not furnish them a pretext for appropriating the avails of my labor to themselves without compensation or acknowledgment. These men irequentiy can upon me lor tne purpose of seeing the latest papers and publications They are produced, and all is admiration. One takes up the Farmer and turns over its pages, " What a capital article on the cultivation of corn ;" he at last exclaims, 44 my men are just about to commence the planting of thirty acres, and I must take it home for their direction." I see him begin deliberately to fold up the sheet and significantly smooth down the edges as it is uepusueu in nis pocsei, wun a iun convic tion on my part, that if I should happen to see it again, it would be so racked and defaced as to be illegible, or that the number is irrevocably lost to the volume ; yet who could refuse r. ?t- . i . man a paper wnicn cost oniy a sixpence I no matter if the- loss of the number spoils the volume ; if you refuse to lend, you are mean but he who borrows, defaces, and destroys, is the pink of honor. Another one takes up your Magazine ' Oh what a charming table by Mr. B. I must have the No. for Julia, she so much delights in reading them ; and what rich en gravings, you know she paints admirably, (all I know is that she daubs like sixty, and calls it painting) and she will make a beautiful copy for our parlour and away goes our Ma gazine. My review always disappears in the same way ; an article on the Bank, on Nulli fication, or Nova Zembla, or the lord knows what, always furnishes an excuse for its appropriation ; and thus, before I have an op portunity of half examining my publications they are scattered to the four winds, and leav- ng me the consolation, that if they were to be had, I could go to work and earn them over again, in the time I shall be obliged to spend in .1 Z J " ooKing vnera up in uieir uispersion. 1 some times allow myself a little extra indulgence, by the purcnase oi such a volume as Friend's Offering or the Token and Souvenir ; and Mr Editor, if you ever allowed one your splendid Annual to sro into a tamiJv of creen cnrls and and hobbedehoy boys who examine such en- gravenings with hands from which the molas ses which) garnished the last piece of bread and butier, had not done drinnino-. then vou may know what I have suffered : and if vou have seen this, and did not erive vent to some nan suppressed maledictions, then you have more vant.
