To my great joy, I discovered that the Diane was not yet recommissioned, the repairs and alterations to her having been greatly delayed by the more pressing work of repairing the frigates, while the admiral in the hope that I might still turn up, and with that extreme kindness that had marked all his treatment of me had determined not to give the command of her to anyone else until she should be absolutely ready for sea.
The orders came down for the frigate to be paid off, all standing, and recommissioned. I received letters from my father, in which he congratulated me at my name being mentioned in Captain Kearney's despatches, and requested me to come home as soon as I could.
"Sir John and I were assigned quite sumptuous quarters in the palace, while our soldiers remained at the inn. "That night Sir John saw the Pope and was recommissioned in his service.

The Levant, being paid off, was recommissioned by the Honourable Captain Murray, who used every persuasion to induce Mr.

The danger of leaving the country without any regular defence was pressed on her so vehemently that she consented to allow part of the ships to be recommissioned. The Revenge was given to Drake.

Miller had not then been recommissioned, though in the confidence that he had been he had continued to act in that capacity. He was then renominated to the Senate, with the additional proposal that his commission should take effect from 3d March, 1822, when his first commission had expired.
