Note 10 — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS IN RUSSIA

Reference is here made to the engagements between the frigates Constitution and Guerrière, August 19, between the frigates United States and Macedonian, October 25, and between the Wasp and the Frolic, both eighteen-gun sloops of war, October 17—all in 1812. The Wasp was commanded by Captain Jacob Jones of Delaware. The action lasted forty-three minutes, was desperately fought, and resulted in the capture of the Frolic.
