The JUDGE•ADVOCATI having immediately written to explain his motives, on the grounds which appear in the next Alemorau dun), produced the undermentioned answer : MEMOIIANDU3I. On the point referred by the Court, as to being called on " to revise" at this time " its proceedings," and to proceed "to pass sentence on the prisoner." the Judge-Advocate has to submit to the consideration of the Court, that, by the 1,74:11 Article of toe 16th section, it is ruled, " That no sentence ora General Court- Martial shall be put in execution till after a Report shall have been made of the whole proceedings to his Majesty, or to the officer commanding in chief," &c. while this power is ag :in cop trouled and limited by the 15th section of the Mutiny Act, which provides " That no sentence given by any Court. Martial, &c. shall be liable to be revised more than once;" hence it seems, that except in the case of a sentence having been awarded to be put in execution, no authority appears to be vested by the Articles of War or the Mutiny Act in the Officer empowered to convene General Courts-Martial to direct a revisal of the swe. The mode of procedure, as the espougibility arising upon it is Ileft in every other respect, remain in charge with the Coutt alone. (Signed) JOHN. WYLDE, Judgo.Advocate. Mead-quarters.

The Criatit NIA N then took an able view of the poli tical character of Mr. Pitt, and alluded to his ad herence to the Slave Trade, which his successor, Mr. Fox, abolished.
