COM. RODGERS.
Every one knows that, ever since Com. Rodgers chastised the insolence of the Little Belt, he has become extremely obnoxious to all Britons and to all devoted friends of Britain. It is quite amusing to see the anxiety of the British government and its officers to catch this old offender. The following is one paragraph among many, in London papers now lying before us, which go to shew the interest he excites in their bosoms.
From the London Courier of July 20.
Several small squadrons have been detached in search of Commodore Rodgers, and the other frigates which lately escaped out of the American ports. Commodore Rodgers having watered at North Bergen, sailed thence on the 2d inst. Lord A. Beauclerk sailed from St. Helen's on Thursday, with the Royal Oak and Seahorse; the Hon. capt. Paget is gone from Plymouth, with the Superb; Menelaus, and Fly; and Adm. Young has detached several frigates from his fleet, to go north about.
