The Count Was of opinion that the letter ought to have beeh produced before. It was therefore rejected as new evidence. Admiral HALLoureu. said he had nothing further to offer. Sir JOHN MURRAY said, he perfectly knew the two letters alluded to by Admiral liallowelthad gone together. He was then asked if he had any observations to make on Admiral Hallo. well's last evidence ? Sir JOHN MURRAY said, he wished to submit a few • remarks to paper. As the hour of three approached, it was arranged that those observations should be prepared, and :hewn to Admi- Hallowell out of Court, so that no time would be I it in answering them. It was then arranged that the Court should adjourn till to-morrow, at half-past t welve, to afford the Judge Advocate at opportunity of replying to the first and second charges. . And it was further arranged that Admiral Hallo well should enter upon his reply on Monday.

FROM THE RICHMOND EMT IXTRACT OF A LETTER num MAJOR WILY CAMPBELL TO MAJOR MAR, AND FORWARDRD BY ORNIAAL COOKE TO TILE GOVERNOR. 4 6 Jones's Point, December 7. 44 The detachment under my command which marched at sir o'clock this morning with a view to attack the enemy's barge, should they attempt to re cover the barge which had been brought off is the night by the two deserters and left two miles below the encampment, arrived at the spot whete the barge lay before sun-rise, when the detachment of 22 men from the King and Queen Aroliery, under etyma' Holmes and Lieutenant Harwood, was formed in a single rank upon the right, and the 16, under the command of Lieutenant Hoskins and Ensign Camp bell, of the King and Queen rifle company, on the left, and the whole marched to the foot of the river bank, under cover of trees and bushes, where they :ay cmcealect at the distance of forty yards from the barge at the shore. In a few moments a boat from the hindmost of the enemy's vessels, sloop of war, just opposite to where we were, was discovered making directly to the shore, and shortly after a barge, under sail and with oars, also put off from the same vessel, and pursued the course of the ship's boat ; when the first boat, which appeared to have about sixteen men on board, had approached so near to the barge at the shore as to discover some of my men, we fired.on them, and im mediately rushed to that water's edge, under the fire of the boat near. the shore, as also under the sailing barge, then about 200 yards distant; but the dis tance being incoosiclerable, the men under my com mand firei with,ao much deliberation *And precision as to kill wee" ems sit the boa except twee, two of whom appeared-to be badly wounded. At the time the enemy had manned two large barges and the object of the expedition being accomplished, I deter mined to risk nothing in as attempt to capture the barge, but brought off the detachment, not one of whom sustained the slightest injury. In this little affair the officers and men under my command evinced an enthusiastic ardour to meet the enemy, and in every instance gave me entire satisfaction. The enemy, some short time after, under cover of their Cannon, towed off the boat whit their dead and wounded." NEW YORK, DECEMBER Ito. It appears, from Quebec and Montreal Papers, to December 4, received at the Office of the Post, that the Psyche, one of the frigates that was seat there from England in frame, has been thrown out and lengthened so as to carry 56 guns, long 24's and 32- pounders. She is to be launched on'the 15th 'of this mouth. A new 74, to be called the Ontario, has been laid down at Kingston. She is to be fitted to ..airy seventeen 32pounders on each deck, and is to be ready for the Lake by the middle of March next. • r.unber of transport boats, for the service of the different posts on the Lakes, are also conttructing at Lingston.

By several persons who arrived from different parts of Cape Cod last night, we are informed that - the New castle British frigate went ashore, at six o'clock on Monday evening, off Wellfleet Shoal-ground, about thirteen miles from Province -town, where she re mained in a dangerous situation eighteen hours, heel ing off shore in from nine to twelve feet water at low ' tide. Three boats wert manned to go to Province town to procure vessels to assist in getting her off, but the wind blowing fresh, they put on shore on dif ferent parts of the Cape. Twenty-three men of the boats'-crew seized this opportunity to desert, who had been seen by our informants. The frigate, by starting her water and throwing over spars and other articles, got off, and arrived at Province-town about four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Ever since her arrival there, she has remained with springs on her cables. fearing an attack from the Constitution.— This is the same ship whi c h wa;_lp thyfrom this taws on Monday. - • "r'"-+""6-•` • ' FRENCH PAPERS: PARIS, JANUARY E.

Last night we received Paris Papers of Tuesday; and so-day those of Wednesday arrived. They cooßaire so intelligence from Vienna which can be r&ld on: thefact is, that nothing of the decisions of COogress has been officially made known, and Wein fully as competent to form opinions on this side of the channel as the Vienna Correspondents of the .Paris Newspapers themselves. Prussia retains a firm held of Saxony, Russia does the same with re spectoo Poland, while Holland, aided by Great Bri taint•'sigaeously fortifies Belgium. We do not think it at all likely that these arrangements will be over darned : as to the interference of Austria to prevent them, the other allied Powers need be under no alarm. Austria will find that it will require all her policy and perhaps all her military resources to keep possession of her acquisitions in Italy, where the in.' habitants do by ne means relish her jurisdiction. The Royal Court Calendar of France, published under the immediate eye of the Minister of the Inte rior, recognizes BANHADOTTC as the lawfully elected Crown Prince of Sweden, but under the head Naples and the Two Sicilies," there is a solemn claim made in the face of Europe for the legitimate family, by the enumeration of its Members. These are of course Princes of the House of Bourbon, none of whom have as yet dishonoured their high descent by re nouncing their birth-rights. While on this subject, may we not be permitted to ask, in what condition would Europe hare been at this moment, if Louis XVIIL had been weak enough, or rather cowardly enough to surrender his claims to the French Crown into the hands.of the caitiff BONAPARTZ, when so commanded at Warsaw by the pusillanimous Cabi nets who had degraded themselves by becoming his Ministers on the occasion I The case of the Caows PIUNCII of Swenza and that of King JOACHIM is entirely different. By the coauitution of Sweden the Monarchy is elective, but the Sovereignty of Naples is not elective. But ad mitting that it was; where, When, and by yAwn was Meter elected 15.J5L0f Napies? . - We apprehenil, notwithstandintall that may be said to the contrary, the proceedings of the Congress will redound givatly to the honour of every individual composing it. We trust that they have never lost bight of the consideration that they are legislating for posterity. They will doubtless foresee that if the Bouibon Princes retain the Crown of Prance, they will sooner or later assist their cousin in recovering by I. , rce of arms, the ancient possessions of their House, ard no man whose bean is in the right place, can re - fuse to applaud this spirit, because it is founded on the iiinciples of honour and justice. It appears by an article in a New York Paper that the kitEwcaarLs British frigate has been lately aground on the American coast. Fortunately she was got of and carried safe into Provincetown, with, we hope, but little damage. We have given some other articles from the American Papers which will prove interest ing to our commercial Readers, especially those con cerned in maritime transactions.
