He then proceeded to Mobile bay, and there again distinguished himself by his zeal and activity, in the command of a division of boats, during the siege of fort Bowyer. On the intelligence of peace arriving from England, he was sent with a flag of truce to announce the same to the American general; and he was finally directed to remain in that neighbourhood until the fort was restored to the proper authorities, according to the first article in the treaty of Ghent. He took his departure from thence, April 5, 1815; arrived at Portsmouth, May 31; and was advanced to post rank on the 13th of the following month.
