He appeart.a dud conducted his case without assistmt;:e. Colonel Gltr.NT was .tt:ended, as i usual en such occasions, being considered a Prisoner, by an Aide, de-Camp of the P.::..ctt ItsvesT, and by Mr. 1)1;N -!Vitt; and Mr. hi; l:gal advise's. He was dressed in !V.: ces::yre of the. Hussars, to which regin,cat 1:e belongs. As a l itcliminary step to the other proceedings, the char g e against Colonel GRANT was read. It iinpitted to the Pris ,, ner rfficer-like aod ut gentlemanly conduct, in obtruding himself into the pre.eitc,: col Nlr. (YMEAftA, and by his conduct, inJccir horn him persons! chastise men, which, at the i,lstance of a Gentleman present, he was att , :rvitrds perssaded to compromise. A se cond head of the charge imputed to Colonel (I:ANT, on an inquiry which took place respecting this trans action at 13.iyonne, a misrepresentation .it what had occutreci between him and Mr. O'MEARA, with a view to justify his own conduct, and to prejudice Mt.o'lNEAttil. Such is the substance of the charge, and on being asked by the;t:Dor whether he was guilty or not.? Colonel GRAN': replied, " If I v.:sre, I should not deserve to live." Afterwards, as a ;natter of Lrm, lie said, he was " Not Guilty." After the usual formalities at the opening Of a Court Martial Isere zone through, Deputy Commissary-General O'NlrenA was heard in support of the charges. He el:toiled the nature ut the charges, the circumstances guider which they oc curred, and the evidence by which 1:c meant to sup port them. 111: - . O'Meara Itsd the highest and most honourable te: , timonials as to chure.ter lions the Duke of Wait - iv:on, a::d. several personages of the first distinction. Tile first Witness called was Mr. Ludovick Gram, who gave evidence on tl!e eist charge, of Colonel Grant's having used violent language to Mr. O'Meara with the view of prrir .king him to personal hostility in the ivanie of the witness, who described the parti culars of the personal ci.ntest on th►s occash n, which comisted of hl.,ws between the parties. The scoffle ended in Mr. O'Meara's dragging the Colonel to lie ground rand then fallLig over him. They both fell together. greoND DAY, ERTDAY, PJLY 1.. The Prosecutor, in support of his second Charge, called Mr. Liidovick Giant. who produced a letter from Colonel Grant, dated 24th September, ISI O. in which he remonstrated with him for havieg given any support to Mr. O'Meara. since he had himself said that 'he was no great things. He also put in his own statement on a former occasion of the affr y 01 the 7th August ; he declared that he had always found Mr. O'Meara a rtau of honour and a gentleman ; he had never spoken of the affray of the 7th. until .Colonel Gram.'s letter of the 26th November desired him to disclose it. Commissary Dunmore stated, that he was behind the scenes of the Theatre at Lisbon. in the year ISO 9, when the affair took place, which Colonel Grant de scribed as collaring Mr. O'Meara, and turning him out of a bus; lie was at some distance from Mr. O'Meara at the Theatre that evening.. and did not hear what passed between Mr. O'Meara and Colonel Mellish ; he w::s rather deaf, and did not hear any strong expressions used between the panics; Mr. O'Meara afterwards came to him in great agitation, and said that Colonel Mellish had cast reflections upon the Commissary Department, as a Body Cor porate; a meeting ot the Officers of that Department was in consegoence s held ; and on application for an explanation to Colonel the latter, in a letter to witness, of which Mr. O'Meara had received the original, but a copy ot which he now produced, dis claimed having meant to east any reflections upon the Commissariat Department generally, but avo►ved the application of his expressions to Mr. O'Meara in dividually, whose conduct he described to have been As violent as it was unprovoked. The witness never heard ot Mr. O'Meara having been turned out of a box at the Theatre, and thought he must have heard ot it if such an event took place. General Sir George Cooke was next examined.-- He stated, that he was Commander at Cadiz in the years 1812 and 1818, when the Deputy Commissat y- General O'Meara served under him in his depart ment. He had no reason to think that Mr. O'Meara had there submitted to any perscr.al degradation, and if he had, he thought he must have known of it. Mr. Conitnissary Aylmer gave evidence to the same effect as Mr. Dunmore. Major Foley, of the 7th Foot, stated, that lie re ceived a letter from Captain Standon before six o'clock oh the evening of the 7th of August (which was the challenge sent by Colonel Grant to Mr. O'Meara). He was ill in bed on that evening ; his next letter from Captain Scansion on the following day, was, of course, dated on the Bth; the answer returned by witness, stating, that Mr. O'Meara was under recog nizance to keep the peace. and consequently obliged to decline the challenge, was dated the 11th ; he in dorsed it immediately ; be had had communications with Mr. O'Meara between the Ith and the I I tli, but not on that subject ; he knew not of the affray be tween Colonel Grant and Mr. O'Meara, at Mr.Graat's lodgings, until after the 26th November; he wrote to Colonel Grant on the SOth October, and again a month afterwards, informing him of Mr. O'Meara being released from his recognizance. The letter now slicwn to him he received through Captain Standon. The Court then adjourned to Monday. THIRD DAY, MONDAY, JULY 7. The Court this Jay met at the usual hour, and Colonel GRANT entered upon his defence, which he commenced, by reading to the Court from a written paper, a very long address, detailing the whole of his connection, and the protracted disputes that had taken place between him and Deputy Commissary General O'Meara, together with the particulars ut thct.• st:,•cral merth:Es, ar.d tie epithets with which ho or chore ofriF:lottc hmfidei !tin ani.Tfaiii.t, who submitted to them with lothearanee.

A letter, in the shape of ach ii lenge, was then decided upon, and on the following mottling, while the Colf4nel and witness were pre. paring this letter, Captain Swinton entered : Colon.

Commissary-Genetal O'Mcar.i, and the purport ca it was to require a meeting at Calais from time latter. The Colonel waited in England about ten days atter the trinsinissiou ut this letter. The scull.. was cer tainiy related in confidence by his brother to the wi , - ness, wbo cosictitred in the pruptiety of its not bei ng divulged, on accomit of the shame of such 3 min,- acti , .u. Daring the ,eight or ten days if Colont I Grant's stay in England, witness had not been at the IVar-01fice. to ascertain Mr. O'Meara's rank in the army ; nor at the Commishary.m-Chief's, though he - acknowledged having made repeated inquiries as to the Deptity•Commissary.GenerA's character. Colo nel Grant was acquainted with blajor Foley's letter of the I Ith August, belOte lie hit England, and in indignation Joie it (the fragments were pr.-served.) Witness had no idea that his brother meant to bury the afFair in oblivion, after what passed it Mr. Ludo rick Grant's; un the contrary, it was that circum stance which induced the Colnnel to send the letter re-Writttil by Captain Standun ; had no reason to know there was army understanding to bury the affair in oblivion. Captain Standen was next called. He corrobora ted :he entire of Major Grant's testimony rcipecling the letter, and the answer from Major Foley ; the latter witness teceivrd late on the night of the I lit) August. and delivered ou the following mousier: to Colonel C:casit. ( h letters wereliere put in and read in evidence.) In answer to questions from the prosecutor, the witness said, that the circumstances of his letter of the b'tb August, on the part of Colonel Grant to Ma. jor F.,ley, being withhut date, was purely accidental. File next communication he had with the Major after this, was pn receiving Colonel Grant's letter of the VS:h November, which lie lest for Major Foley's-per usal oa the 4th December. Tha latter had previ ously written to witness on the 9Sth Caebrr, appri sing him of Deputy Commissary General O'Meara% being relvased from his recognizance, and of hi s rea diness to obe y Colonel Grant's call. This letter lay at witness's lodgings, in consequence of his absence from tewn, until atwut the likh or I lth November.; he then forwarded it to France to Colonel Grant, whose answer he received on the 2.1 . 4 th. Between the period of this letter being left at witness's lodgings. until the arrival of its answer, Major Foley bad ad dressed a communication to witness, which tie an swered in pet son, informing the former that out his arrival in town in November, he had for seard.:d the Mayoi's letter in France, and would wrire a l ; .in in tee days, it he did not receive an answer. C..lonet Grant, he thought, answered the letter as quickly the military post would allow, and so far lions sliew ing a disinclination to meet Deputy Commissary General O'Meara, manifested quite a contrary spiiit. It was the scene at Mr. Grant's that induced the Co lonel to send the letter in August. Mr. Gordon was next called. fie stated that he had been in Cadiz in 1813, and teas then a Commis sary, holding the rank of Lieutenant: in the Spanish army.
