==Later career==
After the victory, in July 1814, Perry was put in command of the then in construction, 44-gun frigate ''Java''. In 1815, the ''Java'' was deployed to the [[Mediterranean]] to deal with problems caused by Barbary pirates. Perry confronted his marine commander; they fought a bloodless duel. President [[James Monroe]] put Perry in charge of a diplomatic mission to [[South America]]. Perry contracted [[Yellow Fever]] and died at the age of 34. In 1826, his remains were moved to Newport, [[Rhode Island]] where a monument honors his service to his country.
