PROCLAMATION OF THE CON DE DE VILLA FLOR TO THE SOLDIERS ON HOARD THE HOSTILE SQUADRON OFF TERCEIRA. - Seldlers !—Dragged into crime and disgrace by the most malicious deceptions, you come to these shores to meet:l:tor dishonour and death—You are the same that I commanded at Alegrete, at Cruelte, and at the Bridges of Pradu and Barca—You are the same who defended with so much glory the legitimate Throne of Don PF. D ILO IV. and Queen Donna MARIA 11. against those in famous rebels who now command you. Our belayed QUEEN sent me to this island to com war d your ancient comrades. lam here : and it is un ci.s:,:try to tell you that I shall defend it from every attack, while my forces, much superior to those of the rebels, 103ve them not the least hone of victory. But it pain , : me, soldiers, to see you deceived, and to reflect that your blood may be shed in such a cause. Snifflers I turn your arms against the Usurper and his adherents, and not against your legitimate QUEEN :—her fivers for the future—those of the mighty EMPEROR, her august Father—shall be your recompence : and by uniting yourselves at once to us, instead of being car ried about like transported felons on the seas, suffering Ippressions, calamities, and misery, you will have abundance, prompt pay and regular service : and above all, you will change the name and shame of Rebels for the title of heroical defenders of the Throne and Country.

CONSECRATION OF FLEET CHURCH. YROX OVA COILLEfF3IO3[IIT. Plymouth. Aug. 29. Tuesday last. the day appointed for the consecration of Fleet Church, an immense crowd of people, of every degree, assembled early ori the spot to witness this :elisions procee..iog. The morn ing was lowering, and threatened an unpleasant day, but about nine o'clock the clouds dispersed, the sky became clear and .etene, and a most delightful day crowned the imposing ceremon). At 11 o'clock, the Lord Bishop of Bristol, attended by his Lordship's Chaplain, arrived, and was suet at the entrance of the church by the venerable Archdeacon England, Rev. G. Gould, Rev. Wyndham Goodden, Rev. H. Poole, Rev. G. Chamberlain, Rev. J. Addison, Rev. W. Brassey, Rev. F. Oakley, Rev. G. Burgess, Rev. W. Gorton, &c. The door of the Church being thrown open, it was soon filled to that excess as scarcely left space in the aisle fur his Lordship to proceed with the consecration. As soon as the seats were occu pied, it took place with the anal forms. The ceremony being finished, prayers were read by the Rev. H. Poole. The commun ion and dedication services performed .by the Lord Bishop and the Archdeacon. At their conclusion, the up-way choristers sang part of the 100th psalm. A most excellent and appropriate sermon was afterwards delivered by the Archdeacon from u Kings e. 12, v. 2. " Then King Jeboash called for Jehoiada the priest and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house now therefore receive no more money of your acquaint ance, but deliver it to the breaches of the house ;" which duetted the serious attention, and evidently made a deep impreuion on his hearers. It is supposed that there were upwards of :We in the congregation, besides a vast number who could not obtain admis sion, so great was the anxiety evinced to witness this solemn and imposing ceremony in this beautiful and purely gothic structure' which will, in future ages, stand a lasting memorial of the Rev. G. Gould, the Rector and Worthy Founder. Few modern edifices can boast so appropriate and becoming a style of architecture ; aU the windows exhibit fine specimens of painted glass, particularly the east window, which is adorned with a most interesting ►ubject-the Widow's Son of Noun —from Luke, c. vii. v. 11 ; painted by Mr. Stevenson. of Bath, who deserves much praise for the masterly execution of the performance. The ceiling and interior altogether present a corresponding display of furnishing, which reflects great credit on the architect. After Divine Service, the Archdeacon, the Clergy, and other Ladies and Gentlemen, partook of a most magnificent entertain. mem, which consisted of every luxury and delicacy that could be obtained, which was sent to table under the direction of one of the first professors of the culinary art, especially engages! from London. The tenantry, the up-way choir, and others employed, were also regaled with the greatest hospitality; all the aged and poor men, women, and children of the village, were also gladdened, by having bestowed on each individual two pounds of fine ox beef, toge gether with a due proportion of bread and beer. The Monti's; Post of this day, actually commences an article in the following terms" The present state of Ireland is much too awful in our estimation to be treated by any friend or well-wisher of his country merely as a topic of party reproach, or to be seized with keen avidity and employed as a convenient and effective wea pon in political conflict." What. in the name of logic, could possess any man to print, for public consideration, such idle wanderings as here meet the eye? A child of the meanest capacity would spurn the unmeaning gossip, as an abuse of its understanding. The Government of these realms is intrigued and caballed for, by a knot of ambitious men. who pledge themselves, in the hour of public distress, to steer us out of danger, and devise a cure fur the evils with which this Empire is afflicted. Unequal to the task, they only increase our difficulties ;—they invade the Constitution ; —they hector here—they surrender there—and the country be neath their sway languishes with increasing symptoms of decay in its last stages ; and yet we must not reproach the inefficient Mi nisters whose incapacity still maintains the country in a ferment; nor in our war against their abominable principles, make their be trayal of truth "an effective weapon in political conflict." A patient, sinking In consumption, hastened by low diet, having long baffled the scientific faculty, unfortunately prescribing by sys tem, the friends of the dying, in their distress, are intruded upon by a quack apothecary or village cow doctor, who thrusts the re gular practitioners from the door. Then, first under pretence of giving air,he breaks down the wallsland windows to admit the wild winds of winter. He next administers a scouring horse-drug, which not succeeding to produce rest, be drivels over the sick-bed, daily stretching forth his rapacious hand for the ill-earned fee ; while the agonizing wretch lies burning with fever, and griped by famine, till dissolution approaches through every avenue. Now, far from its being a duty with the friends of the afflicted to save the patient by kicking the empiric out of the house, to select in his place some a►le and decided prac titioner to administer in the emergency, the Morning Post contends that it would be improper even to animadvert upon the injudicious treatment of the quack ; but, seeing the extreme danger of speedy death, should suffer Charlatanism to work its mischief to the last, while they should content themselves by merely smoothing the patient's bed. We are always delighted to find a bad advocate plead in a bad cause. • ♦ Some mercenary ruffian, hired by the murderer's valet Asseca, in the next column of the same paper, has the unblushing effrontery in the face of a British public, to stigmatise the brave Villa Flor and his glorious little hand as cowards, even at the very moment every true British heart exults in the heroic courage they displayed in the late decisive victory, gained in the cause of legitimate right and constitutional freedom. Can this Asseca not find more congenial employment on the scaffold of Lisbon than thus continuing to earn an infamous salary by insulting the generous feelings, used pure institutions of this country by the dating advocacy of treachery and oppression. This Portuguese miscreant has the audacity to express contempt and scorn of con stitutional charters on the free banks of the Thames, where the one we ourselves possess is our greatest glory and boast?—he with an impudence none but a Portuguese slave, inured to degradation, could parade, observes that, "without considering the character of the individual, we are bound to protect Don Miguel from the foreign annoyance of his brother, the Emperor of Brazils." When did it become the duty of the British nation, we should ask this fellow, to stain her honour by allying herself to a faction of Jesuits, spoliators and assassins. Constitutionally free ourselves, we are rather bound to promote the same liberty in others; and none but a secret traitor to this country and its resent forms of government, could support a servile foreign wretch in his frantic defence of absolutism. Where, its Heaven's name, is the spirit of the nation, that she passively permits herself to be indoctrined by Jesuitic villains, continually plotting mischief under a Portuguese Rubbespierre;--tlse time has been when such abhorrent machinators had been seized by theeople, and publicly tarred and feathered for such a daring outrage against the British character. It is time the public should know that a troop of Miguelite spies, under the direction of a muter-villain, are purchasing the London prints; and it behoves the English reader to watch over the journals with a jealous eye, in order that they may trace the mercenary pens working in this guilty mime, to the disgrace of oar country with foreigners, who conceive the opinion set forth in our Newspapers as the echo of the nation at large. The Editor of the .Mensing Post has been guilty of a gross offence, in permitting the columns of his paper to be polluted with sub a barefaced unqualified libel on the principles of its readers. The name of his Correspondent should be given to the Public, In order to exonerate Englishmen froth the obloquy of such send menu as those professed by this anonymous vulgar suborner. BATTLE OF NA COURT MARTIAL eroso CAPTAIN DICKENSON, R.N. (FROU °us coaturovnawr.) POILTINOCTII, TUZSDAYSLITII Dar. The Court again assembled this morning at the usual hoar. As the proceedings come to a close the interest increases considerably, and the Court was intensely crowded. Amongst the auditory we noticed Lord George Lennox. It is thought the case for the prn. secution wiU close tomorrow (this day), when an adjournment will take place till Monday to give Captain Dickenson an oppor tunity to prepare his defence, and it is supposed he will finish in less than two days. The Court now proceeded to inquire into the 6th and 7th charges :—" That the refitting of the Genoa for leaving Navarin was unjustifiably slow, and the same slackness prevailed on fur way to Malta. That the Genoa's mast was suffered to go by the board for want of being secured." Sir E. CODWINGTON, after some observati ns, said he should not trouble the Court with any o b servations of his. were it not 11132 he felt the comprehensive obligation of the nub he had taken ; and he should much ;refer thst the Court would put questions to him, and he felt bound to express his acknowls diluents for the dignified manner in which questions had been put to him. The JIIDOZ ADVOCATZ then requested Sir Edward Codrington to state to the Court what intormattnn he could as to the tith and 7th Charge. Sir F.nwiao Coomgcnatt—My opinion is that the G no. bas not suffered so much as the other ships of the Engish line. At day-light in the morning of the S'lst October. on looking round the fleet with my glass to observe the condition of the various ships and their exertions in refitthig, it Appeared to me that the Genoa was more slack than any other ship then• appeared a want of activity in securing the masts and fitting the rigging. Whilst I was looking at her with anxiety to see how the got on. I observed the mixen-mast, about eight o'clock in the morning, to go over board. I did not see any measures adopted to prevent such an event. To the best of my recollection, the mizen-topmast had not been struck; and upon looking to the log (extr.ct read), there is an entry at eight o'clock—" In attempting to save the ntizen-mast it went by the board." I do not think that the wizen gallant mast or mizen topmast were struck ; it appeared to me that no thing was doing. By the Parstorrt—What was the state of the weather? Sir F.ow.tan--There was no swell ; the wind was off the land, and was the beginning of a severe gale. lam full persuaded the strength of the wind was the cause of the mizen mast going overboard. Pawn:aster—Was the squadron rota - sied going to sea in conse quence of the backwardness of the Genoa getting ready to accom pany them ? Sir Euwa sn Connixormi—l have some dnuhts as to whether the wind and weather would have permi.ted us sooner than we did ; but the readiness of the squadron was actually retarded by the slackness of the Genoa. Sir Edward here stated, that on Captain Omnii.ney coming on board, and stating to him that such was the state of the Genoa that she could not go to sea, he requested he would send her assistance, which he did. Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD observed, that those oh,ervatians of Sir Edward Codrington were eskulated to make a very great impres sion on the Court to the prejudice of the defendant, and he sub mitted th•tt such, if he bad it in his power, ought to have been given in evidence, as from the station Sir Edward Codrington held as Commander of the Fleet s and the natural anxiety he had about all the ships statements, coming from him, must have great weight with them. Sir Edward said he would give them in evidence. The Anvoc %TE-GisesAl.--Dil you send the Genoa assistance, Sir Edward? Sir fiDWAILD CODRINGTOXI did. Captain anruaney, the then second officer in command of the English squadron, came on board the Asia, and repre.ented to me, that as he knew my anxiety to have the Fleet ready for further service, tha such was the condi tion of the Genoa, as to her preparation., that gutless I sent her some additional assistance, she would retard the Fleet. I begged Cap:ain Ommaney would go to the quarter-deck, and desire Capt. Corson, or any other officer on deck, to make a signal to the Genoa that she would send an officer and watch of the ship's company to assist her ; and notwithstanding that assistance, she was the last ship reported to me, ready to quit the harbour. I cannot speak precisely to the time of the Genoa being ready for sea, the doubt expressed in the former part of this answer as to whether the wind permitted us to go, throwing the same un certainty as to the period of her being ready for sea. Some little time after making sail from the coast, the Genoa began to drop a-stern ; thinking that something retarded her, of which I was not aware, I directed the Albion by signal to stay by her, and not lose sight of her; the Asia continuing to make the best of her way. The next or some subsequent day, the Albion and the Genoa came up with the Asia. and seeing that the Genoa had the means of using all her plain sails, both upon her foremast and mainmast, by way of ascertaining her condition in this respect, I made a signal to make all possible sail ; in consequence of which she made additional sail, and she ran a-head of the Asia without the least difficulty. Considering, therefore, it was no injury to the ship or her geer which had retarded her progress, but that it arose from the same slackness which I observed throughout, I ordered her by signal to make the best of her way to Malta. Upon the Asia arriving there I found her at anchor, and she was reported to me to have arrived the day before. The numerous extracts of the log were read cor roborative of Sir Edward's evidence. By Captain Sdnomassou—What sail bad the Asia and Albion at the time the Genoa came up? Sir Eowaan—The Asia bad all the sails she could carry ; nor was she able to set any additional sail than what she then had, till she had refitted her masts at Malta. I think she carried her proper fore-topsail over her foresail. She had a main gallant-sail for a topsail, and a main royal for a male; and, occasionally, the skysail over that. AU I know of the Albion is, that she rather out-sailed the Asia: as to what sails she had I do not know. _ By the Conav--Was the slackness you observed on board the Genoa only when she was under the command of Capt. Dickenson ? Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—RZACtiI SO, By Captain Iswr.a►timn—WlU Sir Edward Codrington state to the Court whether the signals he made to the Genoa were obeyed as far as the means of that ship would permit? Sir Eow&an—They were obeyed immediately. By Captain GORDO/4—At the time you say the Genoa dropped a -stern, and the Albion was ordered to stay with her, can you re collect whether any signals were made to her, and was stui in a condition to set more sail? Sir EDwaiip--1 feel very confident no signal was made to her. because I did aot know how far she was competent to obey. I allude to her making sail. Capt. GOKDON—Did you find any fault officially with Captain Dickenson verbally, or otherwise, respecting the Nlackness of the Genoa, either in her refittal nr her passage to Malta ? Sir EDWAsto—I do trot think I did, except in the manner which I have already deposed to. Cross-examined by Capt. DICK IN 160/1 —I think at the first of your examination this morning, which is not inserted in the minutes, you stated that in your public dispatches with an account of •he battle, you said the Genoa was not injured so much as the other ships. Was not that year statement? Sir E. Cooamovue-1 did not say with the account of the battle. I think I wrote to the Admiralty to that effect, atter our arrival at Malta. What was the amount of the return of :he killed and wounded on board the Asia? The list was produced. Captain 011)1ANIVI being called. was requested to state to the Court what he knew of the 6th and 7th charge. He stated as follow :—On the morning of the 34th October. as I was going from the Albion to the Asia; I called on board the i.senoa as soon as the people bad had their breakfast. The ship seemed to be in great confusion. As soon a 3 I got on board the Asia I was taken to the Admiral in his cabin, and I told him, it appeared to me that the Genoa would not be ready for some time, and suggested to him that it might expedite the Genoa's equipment, if he would order an Officer and a watch man of either of the large frigates to assist her. He replied, "Go to Captain Curzon and tell him to make a signal to the Glasgow to that effect," which I did. I cannot say if there was any unjustifi able tardiness or use in the equipment. Atter sailing from Nayarit), the Genoa was a-stern three days, and it was on the evening of the third day the Admiral telegraphed the Albion not to lose sight of her. On the following morning signal was made to the Genoa to make all possible sail to proceed into the port of Malta, rendez vous. Shortly after the Genoa passed the Admiral and Albion, before the close of the day. Upon the Albion's arrival at Malta. we ascertained that the Genoa had arrived en the day before. That the Genoa's wizen-mast was suffered to go overboard was the nest part of the charge, on the day after the battle. Captain Ommaaey was unable to speak to this part of the charge. By the Pexammirc—Did you think the confusion you saw on board the Genoa, arose from want of proper management by Capt. Dickenson and his officers? Capt. Osniaorr-1 was not en board long enough to see what amogements they were making, or bad been nude : the Gram uttered very much in her mast, and there was a peat deal to be dame. Capt. Dickenson was conducting the duty ; and. to the best of my recollection, the senior Lieutenant was on the quarter deck, and all the men seemed to be employed. Panusearr—When pm represented to the Admiral the necessity of seudit.g mare men to the Cecoa, el. • Irnnt an opinien titat she required it. Capt. Ossieassv—l have already stated that there appeared .o much to be done, which could not be effected with:tut further assistance. PRILSIDIDITHow ling were yoa oe board the Gclll3 at that time? Cap:. °mutt tv —Ten minutes. PIIRMINT—Do you know that the squadron was retard .1 .31i ins in consequence of the Genoa not being ready? Capt. Oxuaver—l had no means of knowmg whether •ne was ready for sea as soon as the Albion and Asia. By Sir EDWARD BLACCWOOD-.4 do not think I lOW Cap.aiii Dicket.son that I would apply to the Admiral for further help for him ; I do not recollect having any conversation with Ckpiain Dickenson shout preparing for sea that niztat ; Capt. Dickenson appeared to be exerting himself as muck as he could. By Captain hlcany—l have no means to judge whether the Genoa was better or worse regulated since, or previous, to the death of Captain Bathurst. To a question from Captain ELLIOT, as to whether the Genoa was in such a state on the morning he went on board her, as wou'd satisfy him that she was equal to his own ship, he said, it would be impossibk to give an answer whir:sit lie knew the comparative capabilities of the ship's companies ; but ►e was certainly of capita ni that the Albion was much better regulated than the Genoa. lie was on board the Asia, and in that vessel ever y thing was goin,; on with regularity and silence ; whereas, on board the Genoa there was a great deal of noise ; and he was of opinion that the affair t of a •hip can be more speedily executed in silence. The Hon. Captain Asucinv Mauna, of the Glasgow, was called, and proved, pursuant to the Admiral's orders, by signal, having sent Lieut. &ambers, who is now at the Cai.e of Good Hope. and Mr. Oliver, a Midshipman, to assist the Grua, and went on board himself. He observed the Glasgow's men regulat ing the sails ; his stay on deck was very short ; there were irom 80 to 100 men front the Glasgow ; wen[ su board the Goitre, and to the best of his recollection remained part of one day. By the Paestozsv—Darng the time you were on the deck of the Genoa, did you thick the duty was carried oo in an office, -like and seaman-like way, or the reverse ? Captain Moms—The short time I was on deck, I oh-aysd more noise than I had been accustomed to hear on board which discipline was regarded. rarsumr—To the best of your opinion, did you cotoiskr tlit crew of the Genoa to be activsly and usefully tutpinytd Captain Magna—Yes, as far as I could see. Parsintxv—Wha: was the stare of the weather ? Captain Slat:or-4c was squally. It was any opinion that the squadron was retarded by the slackness of the Genoa. Ido not think the Admiral would have sent me on board to expedite het it that was not the case. The Genoa was the last ship ready fit sea; and the only reason was the want of activity. 1 .ao not think the Genoa was more injured than the Asia or Albion. By Captain SHOHAM; Do you happen to know how lints Captain Dickenson had been second Captain of the Genoa previous to the fall of the lamented Captain Bathurst ? Captain Ilatiox—l du not. Captain CURZON saw the mizen-mast go over, and the Gel. Lia did not appear to be rolling at all at the time. It being four o'clock, the Cot: ItT adjourned till to morrow ni.itn• log (this day). LOVE AND LAW. !its. Morning Hcrai !. In a case which we reported the other day from tha Ttalse sizes, our readers must have seen that the Judge kint.elt acted ..• the internuncio of Cupid, ai.il made the matrimonial proposal t the party. The courtship was sudden, but no novel writer couid bring it to a happier termination than the learned Wt.:eta:mane,: who on this occasion presided over the united euvire .4 law and love To do justice to the scene, we must re-print ta-t p.irt u 1 the report which hest illustrates our observed •iise Atter woman had given a detail of the violence of which she was ti , e victim, the report proceeded as follows : Chief Baron O'GRADY—Young woman. would you ratihr !11.1fry the prisoner or h nag him ?—I would die to give ham the two, fit of the law, your Lordship. A pretty benefit, indeed! Is your Parish Priest in tun n '-1 don't know, your Honour. Is your father in town ?—He 16, my Lord. The father was called on the table. Caner Bason—Would you rather see that man banged, or mar• vied to your daughter ?-011. then, I call Gon to witness, I would rather see him married to my daughter. Then you consent to the match ?—I consent to whatever plea's. your Lordship. Cxur lialsox—Ola, you must manage the matter yourselves, for I ant no stratch.nraker—(A lauds). Nuw, let us see what your slaughter says to the business ; speak to her. (The father proceeded towards the daughter, and throwing his arm round her neck, gave her an affectionate whisper) CHM BARON—WriI, what does she say; will she marry bins 0 —She consents, my Lord. Cm's, Banos— Now see what the prisoner says. The gaoler whispered the prisoner, who said be was satisfied. Caner Balton—But how are they to be married, as the parish Priest is not in town? The gaoler suggested that the Chaplain of the Gaul would he fit and proper person to perform the ceremony. He accurdin;ly took both into his custody, and instantly repaired to the gaol. where the capital felony was soon converted into a valid marriage. Here is a scene as curious and dramatic as can be presented the eye of one who looks even into a Law Court for instances of the " burlesque of life." We here see the Judge laying aside the awful terrors of his office, and kindly assisting to convert Ct.. "Penal into the Hymeneal process of the law. Under his prcsiiii:g influence the indictment is moved from the Court of Justice into the Court of Love—the affectionate glances from the witnesssboz are reciprocated by glances as intelligible front the dock. The gaoler is touched by the pathetic scene. We ate not told whether be shed any " iron tears" on the occasion ' • but hi , with the greatest readiness, tendered his offices to assist the prisoner out of one noose into another • and helped to knock off the fetters of the law in order to rivet th e chains of Hymen, The Chaplain. who possibly might have had to preach the " condemned sermon," is relieved from that painful duty—he fastens a knot, different from that which another' finisher of the law" would have tied, and sends the " fond couple" home with the matrimonial benedictim. Now, however amusing this might be as a farce at a minor theatre, we confess we du not like it as an authentic account of proceed ings in a Court of Justice. No one c.in doubt that it is a mockery of religion to marry people under such circumstances, and .• grievous detriment to morality. It instigates and encourages depraved women to make false charges against men with whom they have been viciously tamiliar. It is a practice which bas the tune and character of barbarism about it—it is calculated to sink the judi• dal office, and degrade the noble attributes of justice in the eyes el the multitude; and, in a country like Ireland, it must, In a pr,,• portionate degree, assist in checking the progress sit civilization. It is a robtaken notion that the punishment of crimes is in the nature of redress for the wrongs of the individual—it is a debt dm to public justice, which, however forgiving the sufferer may be, the offender is bound to pay. Since writing the above, we have mzt with another report of one of those farcical trials for violation. which occurred at the Cork Assizes.
