GIL/SHOCK, Surr. 2.—The Ann, Alexander, from Jamaica, ar rived here this morning, came in contact, near the Cambrae, with the Paragon, Ross, hence to Demerara. The former lost her cut-water, jib-boom, &c. ; the latter received similar damage, and a steam boat has been sent to bring her to repair. The Princess of Low•icz arrived at Frankfort on the 30th ultimo. Some Berlin Papers say that Jussuf Pacha resides at present in a beautiful country house five wersts from Odessa, on the shore of the Black Sea, the same that was inhabited last year by her Majesty the Empress. It is stated from St. John's, 21st July, that the un fortunate condition of the Madawaka settlement excites there the greatest sympathy, and the public in general are not acquainted that it is occasioned by the failure of their two last years of the wheat crops, which is the standard food of these people. A petition from that set tlement was presented to his Honour the President a short time ago, and arrangements were instantly made for rendering them assistance. From Frankfort, of date the 29th of August, we have the following notice :—" Our Journals contain a notice, dated the 23d of August, from Capt. Mylne, of London, commander of the Joseph and Anne, an English ship, in which he states that he shall shortly proceed to Co logne, where he will immediately take in a ,cargo for London." From Frankfort, on the 25th August, we quote the following passage :—" Our Exchange has revived from the alarm caused by the fall of the Russian Funds in Lon don, at the latter end of last week. M. AUSDEN VON ROTC II SC II I LD, sen. chief of the house of that name in this city, is expected at the end of the week to return from his visit to Paris. It is said that the financial ob ject ascribed to this journey, has been found unattain able, as the French Ministry is now composed." Letters from the frontiers of Italy, of the 19th August, say that the opening of the free port of Venice is ex pected to take place on the Ist of October next. It may be conjectured that Venice will obtain a great share in the carrying trade to and from the Levant, which has hitherto passed through Trieste. This will be particu larly the case with the trade in Netherlands woollen cloths, which, since the Greeks have been reduced to poverty, is almost wholly in the hands of the Armenians. Several ships of war are fitting out at Venice, probably to reinforce the Austrian squadron employed against Morocco. The Journal of Odessa states, that orders have been is sued to the inhabitants of the above town to remain in their houses, and only fathers of families, attended by one servant, are permitted to go to market, owing to several persons having died with the pest—the Govern ment contractors were leaving for some other port. The papers received this day from the Havannah do not contain any information in regard to the Spanish Expedi tion, which is anxiously looked for. We understand that Colonial produce has improved ; British plantation cof fees are full four to five shillings higher since the 6th August, owing to the short quantity arrived less this year. The stock of British plantation coffee in the West Dock is 3,000 casks less than this time last year. BRIGHTON, Sept. 2. The Princess SOPIIIA of GLOUCESTER iS about to return to London, from Worthing. The Earl and Countess of Vernlam left the Albion this morning, on a visit to the Earl of Plymouth, at his seat, Buckhurst, near East Grinstead, in this county. Mr. Quintin Dick, M.P. also left this morning, by the packet for Dieppe ; and Lord H. Bentinck and Colonel Rankin, for town. The Earl of Mountcharles is returned, and has removed with his Lady and family, from Byhani House to Brunswick Terrace. Mr. and Mrs. Atkyns Wright are at the Royal York; the splen dour of their equipage challenges general admiration. Lady E. Balfour and family have succeeded Lord and Lady blountcharles, at 13yham House. Mr. Stanley, and Lady Stanley, Lady E. Balfour's sister, are arrived from Worthing, and have taken possession of a mansion in Brunswick Terrace. Lady Carr is arrived at Old Steyne. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. The privilege of holding a fair in Smithfield at Bartholomew Tide was granted by Henry the Second to the adjoining priory of Saint Bartholomew, to be held on the eve, the day and the morrow of the festival. It was, at first, kept on the spot still called Cloth Fair, and was attended by all the clothiers and drapers, who had stands or booths within the precinct walls of the priory, the gates of which were locked at night, and a watch set for the protection of their goods. The fair was afterwards prolonged for the space of a fortnight; but having become the scene of great dissoluteness, it was, in 1708, by an order of the Common Council, reduced to the term which has been assigned in the origi. nal grant. At the time of this fair a Court of " Pied Poudre" is still held, daily, for the settlement of disputes respecting " debts sod contracts" arising during its continuance. That parody on WELLINGTON, My Lord POLIGNAC, lives but for England, and swears only by GOD damn. AVlten ha wishes to edify us with the eulogiom of his patriotism, he refers us to the Times newspaper of London; in return the Tisses,"Mor diatom finances," delivers him a certificate of he's being a good Frenchman; and with the same opportunity transforms him into a man of talent always—" Alloyeititintribsances."—Figiro. Quicx COINING.—There are eight presses at the Mint, which, on cases of emergency, can all be put in action, and each press coins 40 sovereigns in a minute, making 520 sovereigns by the whole eight presses in a minute, or equal to 19,200 in an hour. Allowance must, however, be made for the breaking of dies, &c. As many as 150,000 sovereigns per day have been coined. One of the Jury at the Somerset Assizes claimed to be exempted, because he expected to be called out in October in the Yeomanry. _ More than 600 quarters of new wheat were offered for sak in Cantetbury market last Saturday. An Agricultural Model School is about to be erected in the Province of Munster, for which the London Irish Relief Committee has appointed a grant of 3,0001. An Irishman being asked what be thought of the pre sent Loan Lisovanawr ? replied, " Ocb ! sure, aA there is a great big distance from Aniewo to Sorry could N om." The late fair of Gort was well supplied with stock of every description, and if any thing could serve to promote the welfare of this populous and rising town, it is the well directed in fluence of its noble patron, Lord Viscount Gort, whose almost constant residence is a source of happin ess t o t he surrounding country.

Includ ing the Ordnance, Militia, and the Regiments of the Line, nearly 84,000 men were reduced during the last six months of the year 1814. The augmentation of the list has, however, been progres sive, as appears by the above return, during the whole pepiod of peace. CHANGE IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF CORPS DURING LAST DIONTH.

Gamax, AUGUST 31.—Yesterday morning, about half-past 11, the Commander of the Forces of Ireland arrived, and was met by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, who commenced the inspection of the corps stationed at this place, the 75th Regiment. At two o'clock he visited the dinners of the men ; the regularity of which, and system of messing, he commended in high terms of praise. At half-past four the whole battalion turned out in full review order, in the equate of the town ; and after marching past, went through many battalion and light infantry movements with great steadiness and precision. It then formed into square ; after which the Commander of the Forces expressed his high approba tion of the appearance of this very fine Regiment, and immediately left the ground. The day was remarkably fine, and the assem blage was not only numerous, but highly respectable. In the even. ing the Officers of the 75th Regiment entertained the Judges on the circuit, and a large party to dinner, which General Sir John I3yng honoured with his company. We regret to hear that this Regiment is under orders to march. LIMERICK, SIFT. 2. There was a garrison parade of the troops this day at the New Barracks, before Major-General Sir Edward Blak e n e y. On Sa turday last, Lieutenant-General Sir John Byng, Bart. Commander of the Forces in Ireland, accompanied by his Staff, and Major-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, Commanding the Con. naught district, arrived at Gort, from the seat of Lord Clancarty, and immediately proceeded to inspect the King's Drguun Guards, under Major Maxwell. The Lies tenant-General de clared himself muck pleased with the appearance and evolutions of that fine regiment. In the evening Sir John Byng, Sir Thos. Arbuthnot, the Aides-de-camp, and Staff, the Officers of the Gar rison, Mr. Blake, Chief liemembrancer, and Mrs. Blake, with a large party of the resident gentry, were sumptuously entertained to dinner at Loughcooter Castle, the hospitable and magnificent mansion of Lord Viscount Gort. Sunday morning General Sir John Byng and suite left Loughcooter for Kinavara, on route to Galway, where he inspected the 'lsth Regiment on Monday, under command of Lieut.-Colonel England. The 75th Regiment will leave Galway in a few days on a route to Fermoy i • their ulterior destination is supposed to b e Ca n ad a . The depot of the 15th Regiment, quartered in Mullingar for the last ten months, has received the route fur Castlebar, for which town they will commence their march nest week. They will be replaced in Mullingar by the depot of the 34th Regiment, which is now en the march from Coil', and which, with the 21st Royal Scots Fusikers, now quartered there, will complete the garrison of Mullingar for the ensuing winter. The last division of the 34th Regiment sailed from Cork on Sa turday for Halifas, in the Wellington transport. The Cavalry at Clonmel is augmented by two troops of the Bays from Caher. The 33d and 53d Depots have replaced the 58th and 61st at Naas barrack. Capt. Mitchell's company of the 56th Regiment marched from Dundalk on Thursday, on route to join that corps at Birr, where the head-quarters are established. The conduct of this company during their stay in Dundalk has been moat exemplary. As the Gaol Guard is about to be discontinued, Dundalk will cease to be a station for infantry. Monday last, the Depot of the EBth Regiment arrived at But tevant barracks; they landed on Sunday at Cork from Liverpool The Bays move to England in Spring, they will be replaced here and at Callir by the King's Dragoon Guards frcm Gort and Bal. linrobe. The recommendation of the Court-martial in behalf of Brevet- Major Butts, Royal Artillery, tried in this garrison, has not been noticed at the Horse Guards, that Officer is dismissed the service, and Capt. Dowse, Royal Artillery, gazetted to his commission. Private John Parker, 94th Depot, at Portsmoush, is sentenced by Court-martial to receive 500 lashes, and to be branded with the letter D, for desertion and robbery. By the same Court, Pri vate William Walter, 85th Depot, is sentenced to three months hard labour and a similar brand, for desertion. Serjeant John Barber, of his Maje.ty's 16th Regiment Foot, was tried by Court Martial, at Fort William, !an March, for mutiny and stabbing Garrison Serjeant Major M'3lurray, his superior Officer. The accused was reduced to the ranks, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Regimental Courts Martial are henceforward to award the pu nishment of imprisonment, in such cases only where the sentence can be carried into effect, in places for military confinement at bead quarters of the (.7orps. Costar Iklaaritz.—A General Court Martial will assemble in this Garrison next Tuesday, for trial (at his own request) of Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Bally, late Major of the 98th Regiment, who was placed on half-pay in the winter of last year, whilst in command of the reserve of • the 98th at Traise, in consequence of a report to the Horse Guards by Major-General Sir George Biughant, the Commanding Officer of the district. Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Bally complains of being removed front the 98th, and deprived of his Commission, after thirty-three years in his Majesty's service, without his concurrence, without any due cause, and without public investigation. The first intimation Lieutenant. Colonel Bayly had was a letter from Lord Fitzroy Somer set, dated Horse Guards, 13th February, • 1828, that he should either retire on half-pay or sell his Commission, an alternative reluctantly founded on the state of the 98th Depot under his command. The charges against Lieut.. Colonel Bayly, as explained in a further letter of Lord Fitzroy Somerset, are, his (Col. Belly's) admission of ignorance of the new and improved system of tactics (this the Colonel denies), and consequently inability to instruct his men; absence of improvement in the 98th Depot, attributable to want of knowledge of the ser vice, and deficiency In energy, fithaneu, and decision, essential in a Commanding Officer ; and, lastly, that the Depot, which under another Officer bad made consider able progress, had again fallen of in field movements, cleanliness, and regularity. There are a few minor charges about solitary con finement, and permitting some extra appointments. to be charged the men. It appears the removal of Lieut. Col. Daily was decided upon by she Duke of Welilopea, when Commander-in-Chief, a measure that was follenvad up and acted upon by his successor, Gen. Lord Hill.

BATTLE OF NAVARIN. COURT MARTIAL molt CAPTAIN DICKENSON, RN. Lracne oua consummate.) PORTIMOUTIB, Fatter-Notre Dar. The Court assembled this morning at the usual hour, but sat with close doors until near ten o'clock, when we were admitted. It was thought yesterday that t►ere would have been an early ad journment, until the defence was gone intmand it would have been so but for the unexpected arrival of Master Kiag, from Ireland, as also, the strange turn which the proceedings took, by the prositic don, by Captain Dickenson, of the original " Round Robin." All the witnesses for the prosecution have been examined. The business commenced with the cross-examination of Capt. Spencer. Cross-examined by Capt. Dickenson—Did you say to me that tke Vice-Admiral bad authorised you to inform me, that if I wrote a letter, requesting him to allow me to withdraw it, he would do so? Captain Spencer—After I had expressed to the Vice-Admiral what I conceived your feelings of regret, for basing delivered to him such a krter, I believe, as I said before, that he authorised me to wait upon you and say that be would receive that apology. Captain Dickenson—Did the Vice-Admiral say to you that I must write a letter " on service" to him, before he would consent to give up that letter and receive my apology? Captain Spencer—l cannot recollect that. Captain Dickenson-11d Sir Edward Codrington then inform you that he had received such a letter from me on service, re questing to withdraw the former letter ? Captain Spencer—l do not think he ever did. Captain Dickenson—Did I ever inform you that I bad written such a letter? Captain Spencer—l don't recollect. Captain Dickenson—Do you remember one day, whilst we were on shore at Alalta, being with Captain Anson in the street, and meeting me, when I told you that I had the pleasing satis faction to say that Sir Edward Codrington had given up the letter to me, and that all was settled ; on which you answered, that you were very glad to hear it? Captain Spencer—lt is very possible that may have happened, but I cannot swear that I recollect it. I have no doubt 1 should have expressed my satisfaction upon the occasion. Capt. Dickenson—ls it pita impression that I informed you at any other time of the above circumstances? Capt. Spencer—l dare say you did. When lam called on to say whether you did or did not, at this distance of time, I cannot undertake to swear. Capt. Dickenson—Did Sir Falward Codtington,when at Malta, or at any subsequent time, intimate to you No surprise that the letter in question was not the production of the petty officers and the seamen of the Genoa? Capt. Spencer—l have heard him intimate such a suspicion since the transaction took place, but I cannot say at what place. With respect to it, being at Malta, I cannot say ; but he has done so since we have gist in England, I can say positively. Capt. Dickenson—ls the letter I now hand you the one which was shown you ? Captain Spencer—l will not undertake to swear that it is the letter, but it has the purport, and as far as I can remember much the appearance of it. Captain Dickenson then handed in the original "round robin." The Advocate-General expressed his surprise at his producing it, and said that be had served a notice on them to produce it, but he understood that it had been destroyed. Its production now saved him the trouble of giving further parole evidence as to its substan.e. Captain Dickenson said that it would have been destroyed only for certain reports he had heard. The following was then read : " Ills Majesty's ship Genoa, at sea, 0ct..115t,1829. " The humble petitiou to your Honour of the petty officers, seamen, and marines of his Majesty's ship the Genoa. With gra titude they thank your Honour for the able manner in wh;ch you led the fleet into action most heroically supported as in it, and hope your Honour will lung live to enjoy the merited re wards of your brave conduct. Your Petitioners beg leave with all humility, before they leave the station, to express to your Honour their feelings of deep regret at the loss of their la mented Commander, whom they ever found a father and a friend; and your Petitioners with all humility beg leave to es press their joy at finding the loss supplied by their present worthy Commander. They had before found him, as an taw active and able in the execution of his duty, as we ll as gen.. tlemanly in command ; but they now found him in the moment of danger a leader under whom they should sever fear any enemy. We therefore humbly solicit your Honour to represent these feelings to the Lord High Admiral; and your Petitioners hope that your Honour will permit Captain Dickenson to take the ship home as Captain, In the event of her going to England. " We are, honoured Sir, " Your most obedient and humble servants, " THE CREW OF THE SHIP GENOA. " To Vice Admiral Codringtoo, Commander in the Medi rrrrr nean." Capt. Spencer was then examined as to the sth and 6th charges. Judge Advocate—State to the Court all the circumstances which have come to your knowledge relative to the filth charge (the list of the killed and wounded handed to him). He stated he knew nothing whatsoever of the fifth. He was then examined as to the sixth, as to the slackness of the Genoa on her way t o Malta. He was also ignorant upon this. He was so occupied by attending to the affairs of his own ship, that beau& no ob-ervations on others. Captain Dickenson—Do you remember, at Malta, after the oc currence of the letter. meeting me at the Vice-Admiral's table? Captain Spencer, Yes, I think I do. Captain Dickenson—Did the Turkish vessels at Navarin strike their colours, or in what way did they show their submission? Capt. Spencer—The two vessels that came immediately under my close observation, did strikp their colours, one to the Armeide French ship, and the other, of her own accord, hoisted English colours, after pulling down the Turkish. Capt. Dickenson—Did you see the explosion of the frigate, which, when burning, endangered the Asia? Capt. Spencer—No, I did not. Capt. Dicken-on—Did you see the Genoa firing after other ships had ceased? Capt. Spencer—No, I did not. Capt. Dickenson—Had you any orders to prepare to go to sea the evening of the battle? Capt. Spencer—None. Sir Edward Codrington was now recalled. Judge Advocate—ls the letter now produced the letter you re ceived from Captain Dickenson. Sir E. Cothington—l cannot podtively swear to it ; but I am satisfied in my mind that it is. If it is so, I ans wrong as to the time and pace, because we were out of Nissan's the 3lst October. I do not believe that the document iii question originated with Capt. Dickenson, of the ship's company. I have formed that opinion since yesterday, in consequence or certain circumstances coming to my knowledge; and I think if Ilr. Andrews. the Purser of the tienoa, was examined, he would elicit much with regard to it. Sir H.lliaekwood Why did you con-liter that letter, written on his Majesty's service, to be in the nature of a Humid Robin ? . . S.r E. Codrington—l had meditated, but not actually appointed some other person to the commannd of the Genoa. I consider that appointment to be publicly known, and that the letter in question was intended to induce me to alter that appointment in favour of Captain Dickenson, and substituted the desire of other persons to that of me. Sir Henry Blackwood—Did you consider the offence of that grave nature as to require a more serious inquiry? Sir E. Codrington—Yes ; if I had not thought that it was best for his Majesty's service to avoid such an exposure. Admiral Otway—At what period after you received that letter, and how soon did you reprimand Capt. Dickenson for producing it? Sir E. Codrington—l cannot possibly say how long It was atter, because the very production of the letter 'twit, and of my convic tion of its being genuine, has thrown a doubt on my memory as to time. I have nu doubt of its having been the first time of my see ing him subsequent to his return. Admiral Otway—Did you call him on board by signal or other wise on your being acquainted with its contents. Sir E. Codrington— I am not quite sure that I called hint on board in any way, either by signal or otherwise. lam inclined to think that his coming to me was the result of advice given to him by those who bad seen the letter and formed the same opinion of it my own. Sir Henry Blackwood expressed his surprise that Admiral Codrington did not send for Captain Dickenson rather than choose the agency of a third party. Sir E. Codnogton replied, that he did intend to have done so; and as a proof of it, bad sketched out the answer to the letter in question, and which he meant as an official communication. Captain Schomberg— How long after you received this letter were you pleased to accept of the apology which you received from Captalu Dickenson ? • •Sir E. Codrington— As I have endeavoured to state In the pre ceding evidence, I do not know. Captain you received any other letters from the ships of the squadron? Sir E. Codringteo—Coodderlog-poetkal effusions snider that bead, I believed 1 received see front almost every ship ist the fleet, or I believe trims:man. Captain Gordon—After having reprimanded Capt. Dickinson for the letter in question, did you state that you had no intention of taking further notice of his conduct ? Sir K Codrington—l doubt my having stated so; I gave him up all the means I had of establishing the complaint of the letter now produced in Court, and I certainly had no further intenti.n of to►ing any further official notice of any part of his conduct. By Capt. Dickenson—Do you now remember that I wrote y a letter of service, requeiting of you to allow me to withdraw to in question. and which was conveyed to you by Capt. Bayne. Sir h. Codrington— I have not the recollection of any web thing : I by no mean, inean.to say that it was not so, but I have I:is • recollection of it. The Advocate-Gereral then said that Master King, late of the Albion, had arrived true Ireland, and he would now produce him. William Joseph King, a native of Gibraltar, aid late a second master r.n board the Albion—He stated that he was on the fore castle of the Albion duritig the action, and he recollects grape-shot coming from the direction of the Genoa Ifni evidence Was chhily corroborative of Pilaster White's, which is alteatly before the public. _ _ _ eresident—What was the effect of the grape shot which Too de scribed as coming from the direction of the G eno a' Master King—lt shattered the larboard head and !unlock netting on that side. President—flow often did you observe shot to emnr front dm directioti? Master King—Several time: previous to the hoisting of the ensign. President—Was it upon the larboard side? Master King—They appeared to conic (ruin the starboard .ide of the Curio i. President—lu what direction did the Albion lay with rep? .1 re the Genoa? Master King—We were before the Geniis'. , beam. Presidem—Wii.t waa the ritu.ition of the Genoa with re;; tr d to her opponent? ltla.tet King—ller opponent W 34 on the starboard side Of her (this it the i oint which seems to be most in dispute. Sir Edward Codrington and others say that the (;enoa had her stern towards her epponem). l'res!dent—At what ship in the enemy's lines were the Alhion's guns directed. Master King—lb: Turkish Admiral, then the opponent of the Asia. Precident—Do you recollect that you trained those guns a to go asteru of the Gem) t. blaster King—l had no occasion to train those guns, th, , y w.re rather pointed hefore the bean,. l'rebnleut—Vas it before the Albion got cleat of the s!ah on fire that the shot c mu. from the direction of the Genoi ? Master King-1 think it was when she sea+ foul u.. President—Was your ant-talon so much occupied wi•h the ship On fire as to prevent your being certain of whether Ault had come from the Grim, ? Master King—Perhaps at that mu:nest it was. Capt. `chninberg-litas there any other vessel in the direction of the Genoa front whom you might have received the grape-shot you describe? Master King—l am not quite certain but the Genoa's opponent might have fired from her stcro gulls. I had orce a glimpse of her, and think it probable she might. . . . . Admiral Otway—Was any per.cort hurt at your quarters by the shot which .truck the head dour? Lauer King—None. Captain Klltut—Du you speak positively that grape-shot from the Genoa struck the Albion? Master King—No, only my belief. Captain Elliot—Did you ever fire at the Getina's opponent.? Master King—l thi .k out. If we slid it was in the later part of the action. President—Did you ever see the Genoa distinctly ? Master King—l did, towards the latter part of the action, When the smote cleared away. Captain Elliot—Were there any of her guns pointed in the di rection of the Mb on? Master King-1 cannot say whether or not. Captain Elliot—Do you feel confident that the grape could come from the Genoa's starboard bow ? Wastes King—l think it possible that it might. Captain Eliot—Was it your own 'impression at the time the grape shut came from the Genoa? (Waiter King—lt was my impression at the time. Captain Elliot—Did you see the Asia during the action ? Master King—l did; the Genoa was to the right of her in a line drawn from the Albion to the Asia. President—Did you ever distinctly see the Genna's opponent ? Muter King—l cannot say that I ever did see her distinctly during the action ;we were cables length front her. Cross-examined by Captain Dickenson—Were there any Engli sh grape or large shot found in the hull or the masts of the Albion ? Master King—l do not know. _ _ Captain Dickenson—Were you on the forecastle when Captain Campbell came forward and stood on the head-grating to view th. direction of the Genoa's bre. Master King—l saw Captain Campbell on the forecastle, near the head - grating. _ _ Captain Dickenson—Do you know at what time Capt. Camp bell made any observations respecting the Genoa's fire? Master King—l do not. Mr. John Johnson, late gunner of the Albion, was called to ex plain why the powder-books were not signed by Capt. °memory, which he did. To a question from Capt. Dickenson, as to bow long the Albion was engaged with both her broadsides? his reply was, half an hour. To the same question to Master King, the an swer was, an hour and a half. The Advocate-General said that he was instructed by the Admi ralty to say, that they were ready to give any papers which were asked for, that could elucidate the charges under inquiry. Sir Edward Codrington was then called, and asked were their any other papers which he required to elucidate the charges ? Sir E. Codrington denied that they were his charges. lie was called on by the Admiralty to make a statement, which he slid by letter; and it was those letters which were made the ground of charges. In writing those letters be done it as the representative of the Admiralty, as his duty; yet at the same time he was most anxious. to have avoided the present proceedings. However, the Ad miralty thought otherwise, and therefore be was anxious to subniir to the Court other letters, which lie thesui,ht would elucidate the charges, though they strictly did not bear upon them, yet they would show how they originated. When he was asked were there any other papers necessary to elucidate the charges, he would say there was. But there were certain papers necessary to elucidate a part of the correspondence. which be held in his hand, and though that part did not refer to those charges, yet they in a manlier arose from it. However, he ,hould nut require them to read that part. but he would select that part of the correspondence which Mime diately referr►.d to the charges, or rather say his letters. The nous of proving the truth of them was thrown on him, which he would have done, but to do so it required three most material witnee,e-, one of whom was at Bermuda, another in the West Indies, and the third in the Mediterranean. He was asked by the Admiral 4 could hr go safe to trial without them? Ile said that it was not hi. trial—on the contras y, he was entirely averse to the proceeding. The Judge. Advocate—Did we not offer to send tor those wit nesses? Sir F.dward Codrinvon—lt is perfectly true that you diJ, but, as I said before. that it was lint my trial, but yours. A long desuitcry conversaVon how took place, which tint.- will not permit us to give, as to whether that part of the correspundeote which would go to elucidate the charges, was to be read. when the Court was ordered to be cleared. and, alter half an hour's - the opinion of the Court was, that such letter. could not be read. Mr. Andrews, the purser, was then call-el, and asked as to what be knew of the round-robin, when he deposed as follows : To tie best of my knowledge that letter is the one which the crew of the Genoa sent to the Admiral. On the 4th of Nov. 1827, Cap:am Dickenson told me the ship's company had requested of him I. present it to the Admiral ; alter I had read it I told Captain Dickenson that it I was in his situation I should Hot forward it. Captain Dickenson observed to me, that he was given to under stand, that if he did nut do it, they would themselves. I told him that I dud not like the later part or it. Captain Dickenson said lie was fearful that the Admiral would be displeased it it came from any body but himself. Subsequently I was on board the Asia at Malta, and I saw rapt. Curzon on the quarterdeck. Ile said to me, " Andrews, Captain Dickenson has got hinisett into trouble." I told him 1 was sorry for it, and that it was dui e against my wish. Captain Curzon ►aid be thought that it Captains Dickenson would write another letter to the Admiral, requesting him to allow bins to withdraw it, lie would. I returned on boatel the Genoa, and saw Captain Dickenson, and told bins wh it had occurred between Capt. Curzon and I. He said he would g and consult Commissioner Hos,. Ile went, and upon his return, to. told me that he had seen the Commissioner, and Captains Ornmsney atm Spencer. and they wished him to write a letter asking perntissiun to withdraw it, at the same time he requested that I wou•u draw out a sketch of one; I did su with his assistance ; he copied it, and took it with him to deliver it. I ►hortly after saw him, when hr told me he had seen the Admiral, who was satisfied, and returned him not only the original letter but the one he Lad wrote, and did not keep copies of either. It being now four o'clock, the Court postponed the cross-ecinli4 nation until to niorow. This is the last witness for the prosecution.
