The ship
Enterprise came in on Sunday from
Canton.
Mr. William Hall of
Medford was passenger in her. Just off the mouth of the harbor, she was boarded by a British Frigate, who did not know that War was declared, and let her come in. Soon after, they met the U. S. Frigate
President, going out after the Englishman, and William Hall (son of
Col. Fitch Hall) immediately left the
Enterprise, went on board the
President, and offered his services to
Commodore Rodgers, and he is now on board this Frigate who is in pursuit of the
Belvidere, and we are hourly expecting her to be brought in. After so long a voyage as
Mr. Hall has just been, the readiness with which he again entered the service, does credit to his patriotism, and reflects great honor upon himself.
