Daily National Intelligencer, Vol. III, No. 628, printed in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, January 10, 1815. An article on page 3, column 3, reported a rumor from New York that USS Constitution had engaged with HMS Maidstone and defeated and scuttled the ship. Although the author identified several creditble sources and is "inclined to consider the rumor as probably correct," it is indeed false.
