I APRIL 25• THE NAI 'ION, Ex ccter o sts.—On Saturday sennigut, T. Sutton, aged 24; J. Chapman, J 4 ; and W. Fuller, 26, were executed on the Castle-hill, NOM Wt.—Sutton was a remarkable instance of the effects of an unprincipled 4:Lineation. His father suffered an ig mniutou• death, and his brother was trati•ported. His first Inducement to crime seems to have been a vri•li to join the latter at Botaliv Bay; to this end he committed two robberies upon General Money, with vs hom he lived, and was tried twice; his second sentence confined hint to the hulks for seven years.—At the expiration of this period, he returned to Trowse, his native village, and nu application to General Yoney, as to his future life, that gentleman provided him the means of an honest livell bood.—This was, however, frustrated by an attachment to a fe m:;le, who--Irft him at a time when his hopes were fixed upon an union with her. Courses of vice foilowed : and with the were intention of committing stone act Iv hich might subject his life to the law, hr set fire to the stacks and premkes of General Money, tic crime for w hick he suffered de,.111. It i• remarkable that he vlinuld have chlasen his only benefactor as the object of his injury. After condemnation, he conducted himself with much penitence. J. Chapatti' and W. Fuller, are victims to an offence arising out of a breach of the game laws. They were poachers, and in an encounter vt ith Lord Cho;))))) watchers, they fired unto' and wounded W. , the principal keeper. Since their sentence, they have conducted themselves is the most ex emplary manner : considerable ellOrts were made to obtain their si:priete, but without effect.

Sir—lt is with much satisfaction I have the honour to ac quaint you with the capture and destruction of the Danish ship of the line, Prince Christian Frederic, of 74 runs. Proceeding towards the Great Belt, in company with itis Mnjesty 's ship Nassau, at two p. m. on the 22d inst. we observed a strange sail ; end the signal being made to clve, at 4p. Creenall on the oast of Jutland bearing • N. W. by N. distant ten miles. we discovered that it was au enemy ; and at five p. m. ascertained the chase to be a Danish ship of the line. I now says that it was evidently the intention of the enemy to run his ship on shore ; and as the night was approaching, he might hope that, in our pursuit of him in the dark, we would have the sante fate. j This, 1 have since been assured, was his,design. At 45 minutes past 7 p. rn. Captain Campbell. in the Nassau, got up with the enemy, and commenced the action, and in a few minutes after the Stately closed; a running kilt was now maintained for t considerable time, the enemy fighting with great obstinacy, until we succeeded in getting very near, and gave some close ' broadsides, on which she struck at about half past nine p. m. — At this moment the ships were within two cables lengths of the shore of Zealand; and before my First Lientenant who took possession of the Danish ship, could cut assay her are hoc, she grounded. Fortunately this ship and the Nassau brought op near to her. During the remaining part of the night we were employed in taking out the prisoners; and at day-light of the 23d it was found impossible to get the captured ship afloat, itte wind blowing strong on the shore, and that therefore the only course I could follow was to destroy her. The necessit tsr do ing this, and for placing our own ships out of danger, rnon be came apparent, as the Danes were preparing their artillery on the coast, and as our ships were at anchor only two cahle:4ll.-eLth from the beach, they would have done us great injury. After removing the prisoners and wounded, in doing which we expe rienced much difficulty from the wind blowing strong, and a good deal of sea running, the enemy's ship was set on fire in the evening of the 23d, and in a short time blew op. lam happy to ray our loss has been small. It is trifling w hen compared with the enemy, where the slaughter was great, he having ti killed and eighty-eight wounded. We have, hone er, received con siderable damage in our masts and rigging. The Mines. Chris tian Frederick was a very flue ship, ea pper-holted, (-unite:ln:NA by Captain Jayson, with a complcsaeut of six hundred and twenty men, and had five hundredrund seventy-six On hoard. T feel much indebted to Captain Campbell for Isis zeal and ability in the commencement and during the action, and, to the officers , . ship's company, and royal marines of his ship. My warmest gratitude and praise is due to the ottker;, and privates of royal marines, of this ship, 'for their brave nod gallant conduct during the action, displaying throughout the cool intrepidity of Bri tish seamen. The same spirit animated both ships. 1 beg leave to recommend in the strongest manner to the patromtge of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, Mr. David Sloan, my First Lieutenant, to whsAn I 'am greatly indebted, not only fur his brave and spirited conduct in the action, but also for his mt wearied exertion in removing the prisoners and woentled from the Danish slip, and setting he' on fire. Ile- possesses, in an eminent degree, every quality requisite to form the ollieer and seaman. Herewiil yoawill receive a return of the killed and wounded. I have the honour to be, ;ke. (Sfgned) CEO.
