Thehoats of the squadron, under the command of 'Lieutenant Bouchier of the Royal Navy, and the , Royal Marines, under Lieutenant Welchman, were d-t•iched to the eastern sided the river, and were of essential service, in taking two field pieces in that quarter. • Notwithstanding that the militia were not assem bled to any extent in the vicinity of the town, I was making the necessary arrangements to adyance into the interior of the country, when I received a letter from Brigadier General Brewer, commanding thedis 'trice, wherein he engages that the .militia forces within the county of Washington shall : not bear arms or in any way serve against his Britannic Majesty during the present war. A similar offer having been made by the civil ,officers and principal eitizeas of the_ enanty, a cessation of arwwwns agreed upon, widths *um, of }Nash' bat passed wader the dosniniesi 'of tiletritaritic Majesty. I beg leave to congratulate you upon the impor lance of this accession of territory which has been wrested from the enemy ; it embraces about one hun dred miles of sea coast, and includes that intermediate track of country which separates the province of New Brunswick from lower Canada,. • We have taken 26 pieces of prdnce (set viceable. and unserviceable); with a proportion of arms and am munition, returns of which are eiklosed & and I have •the pleasing satisfaction to' add, that this service has been effected without the loss of a man on our part.

Revolved (on the' motion of Mt...TAMES Csstrattt, and seconded by Mr. Tnowns Witsox), That the general System of the Warehousing Acts has been ackr.• , wledged to be of the first importance to the trade of the country, and that an exten sion of the privileges under those Acts at - this moment, and riot a suspension of the present facilities, is, in the opinion of this Meet ing, become the trite interest of the commerce of the country. 9.. d. Resolved (on the motioe of Mr. JAWS BELL, and seconded by Mr. JOSIIVA WATSON), That it Is the opinion of this Mce• ins, that Warehousing Bonni lulling been by their um form steirnsion virtually superseded, cannot, without manifest injustice, be acted upon until full and sallident notice khan hive been given to a'l patties likely to be utected thereby, of the in tention of his Majesty's Ministers to resume a system of limita tion, which they had by such :impassion admitted to be 'scorn patible with the atentertial preepetby of the country.

We have already given the names of the Members comprising the Court, a copy of the Charges, and the opening Speech of Colonel PALMER, the prosecutor, in the STAR of October 184 Before Colonel PALMS* proceeded to the evidence, the witnesses were ordered to leave the room, and to appear only as they were called- The first witness called was Brigade Major Jones. He said he was Brigade Major on the 9th of Janu ary, 1114 I he produced the entry of the general Or der, by which it appeared that the 7th, . 15th, and 10th Hussars were directed to forage on the 10th of January, in the valley of Macoy, in France, and were commanded to respect the depots of forage which had been made by the Spanish General Murillo in that neighbourhood. The witness sent a copy of this Order to Colonel Quentin in the afternoon of the 9th. Crowexantitsed.—He said it was about fc..or o'clock in the afternoon when the Order --- could not tell exactly—the roads were Lieutenant Fitaclarence was 'posed, as follows s'•••••" I moved day on which it foraged in the - Colonel Qumran' occiapied luence, and found - glen a Spanish to them, and a, it, they having connected it with their own mules. I then went away in the direction of this 'outpost* of General Murillo, and proceeded .to join the regiment. I found two troops, and part of a third,foragiag near, the outposts. 1 saw the Spanish piquet turned cud. denly out, and immediately afterwards private Hag gerty and three others gallopping up towards me with their carbines sprung. One of them said that the enemy was advancing in the valley, both cavalry and infantry. I then heard and saw several shot : joined Mr. Fitzgerald and the foragers, and the troops were formed about 300 yards distance, and facing the enemy, who were evidently advancing. The Spaniards were by this time broken, and the ot flews flying; but they took refuge behind two houses, land the French, not knowing their strength in that situation, did not like to come cn. Had they known their numbers, they might have come on and fired a volley into us." - • JUDOS ADVOCATZ...." That is your opinion?' Lieutenant Fitaclarence— ,4 Yes; I have no doubt of a." JUDGE ADVOCATE—" Yon must give us facts... Arm .It is for the Court to draw inferences.. your opinion is not evidence." Lieutenant Fitzclarence- 4, Very well ! If it is not evidence—it is part of my narrative.—We then went and succeeded in rallying the Spaniards, and two companies of their Cacadores coming up, the French went away, having taken some men and horses." Cron4wamitted.—He said that the regiment paced him as he was foraging : when he joined the main body of the regiment, after quitting the Spanish pi gment was more than a league in the rear, in the direction of Cambo. The apparent strength, of the enemy was about 400 men, chiefly infantry—there were very few cavalry, so few, that very probably they were only field officers. Queitioaed the Cowl. —He did not report the at tack on the Spanish piquet to Colonel Queptin: does not know whether any report was made. Captain Lloyd was next called.—He deposed, as follows :-0 I moved with the regiment on the 10th of January to forage. I received the Order at eight o'clock in the morning. I was directed by Colonel Quentin to apply to General Murillo for a party to protect the foragers. I asked Colonel Quentin what number I should apply for ? He said, two compa nies, or whatever force I thought strong enough. 1 then proceeded to the head-quarters of General Mu rillo, and mentioned my business to the Chief of his Staff. The General expressed surprise that Colonel Quentin should have commenced for +ging, without giving biro notice, but gave an order fur a couple of companies, with a Colonel el Casadores. On pro ceeding towards the outpoelte I suet part of the 10th moving off. 1, was afterwards met by a man at. cached to the regiment, who told me that it bad filed off towards.the mountain. I overtook the rear, and found: Colonel %wain, who asked me it I bad seen the a ff air of Spanish piquet 1 1 then got an order fronslins to the Colonel of Casadores, to say that - clam was no necessity for the party. The firing, by enemy . / _ _ - perceived . incing, ap. peered to be skirmishers, but there were others posted in a lane. He could not state how long Co- • lonel Quentin remained' where he left him. nor wbe• ther it, was possible for him, in his situation, to ob. ' serve the operations in the valley He /Sid not ascer tinned' whether cherepeort of his situation, when at tacked, transmitted by him through an orderly, bad actually reached ColOnel Quentin.' Captain Viticlakence was theta called, and dfposed ' ' to the following'effecir—He'vill detaihed with his troop on the TOLli of January, 44 forage In the ialley • of Macoy, Without being advised of stay point of Oh. dezvuus or retreat in case of atfaak.

After a short time be went to the 'advanced posts, and saw the enemy approaching, and inclining rovrarsis his left. He sent an orderly to enquire of the Spanish Office, what was his intention ?—who replied, he had been ordered to retire. Having, in consequence of this, withdrawn his troop, be fell in with the troop of Cap ! tain Stuart, and formed his men on their it ink. In this situation they remained icr a consi-erable beta without any orders ; till at length Captain Stuart put ' them upon their retreat. He found Colonel Quentin about, two mai' from the scene of foraging on the top of a hill, with the regiment. Crorr•examinatices.:—He had no communication dur ing the time his troop was employed in the valley, oe until his return to the regiment, with Col. Quentin. He remained under fire about ten 'minutes. Should certainly have engaged the enemy's cavalry if attack ed by them, in the expectation of being supported by Colonel Quentin • and must have suffered severely f ro m infantry had not the piqnets nutinuined their posts. He sent notice to Major Howard of Hs situ ation, as commander of the squadron to which his • troop WAS attached. The third troop belonging to the sp.adron was not near. He lbst no men nor 'horses in the affair. The ground was very difficult oind much intersected. It was impossible to say whe ther Colonel Queritin from his situation could see what passed in the ialley, as there was a ;peat deal ' of wood in the intermediate space. He received no , instructions .fter his orders to forage in Macoy. In answer to a qUest;on, s',hetlier tie ground Adm;tted of the whole regiment being drawn up ? he replied in the negative ; but said there was certainly room for • one troop to hart dome to *their support. He did not know that it wai always usual to appoint piaci: of rendezvous on tending out eetachnunts to thrAge. • Captain Harvey deputed, that he noosed with the regiment on the 10th of January list, oil which day the Seijeant-Major reported that he had found Image in a house about a league in advance, in the valley .of Macoy.
