HENRI' ./.4mEg 11'.wirsurox. RIGHT HON. Slit JOSEPH BANKS, Stn,—Every loyal Englishman views the mutiny that Major Johnston and his Officers have elrected in New South Wales, with an eye of detestation. This infernal plot has been in agi tation from the moment the Military Officers, car in other words the Military Iluxters, stationed in that Colony, discovered Go vernor Bligh's fixed determination to abolish monopoly, and put a final period to that degrading system of traffic, for which the whole of those Officers have been so justly celebrated, since the year 179.1, with the exception of Colonel Paterson and Captain John Piper. The of that were made by Governor K lug, to suppress the insolence of Major Johnston, and the Officers under his command, involved that Governor into difficulties almost tantammtut to those which have befallen that gallant veteran Governor 131igh. The incendiaries that have buoyed up Major Johnson to the commission of this crime, are John M'A rihur and William Minchin, Adj. in the New South Wales Corps ; the. succession of quarrels the former is famous fur, with Governors Homer, King, Colonel Paterson, and Bligh, need no recapitu lation ; the latter has been repeatedly tried by General Courts Nlartial. I refer you to General (ruse for his character; ask that General what confidence can be placed io his iniegrity.--. The unfortunate Officers Atkins, Palmer, Gore, and t ' were the only men that made a stand in defence of Gov. authority and person ; they have shared his fate, and if they escape assassination, they will prove the atrocity of this revolg, tion, and skew what necessity there is to remove Mr. M`Arilair and the New South Wales Regiment from that Colooy. Per. haps, Sir Joseph, 'nu are unacquainted with the particular cir cumstances of this wanton act of rebellion, the following is a correct detail. January the VBll, last, Major .1 ohnstim ordered the Bruin to beat to arms; the consequenc e was, the re;:iment •rss.ctubled, and a mob of about 'ZOO convicts ; Major Johnston then placed himself at their head, and marched to the Goveru ment-house, where he called aloud for the Governor to surren der. 'l' he Governor, alarmed for Isis personal salet% , I innovated. himself; the Major then ordered a body of soldiers to rush into the house, and by force °farms to bring the tlo%ernor to him; after searching some time, the. Govepor was forced from his re tirement, awl treated by the soldiers and mob in a most cruel and insulting manner. Major Johnston, with rude ungentleman like language, demanded the Governor's sword, and after leaving the Governor in dose arrest, marched oil' Isis victorious banditti in triumph : the prison door was then thrown open, and Mr. M'A rthur liberated. This refractory gentleman was confined for contempt of Court, and refusing to pay a tine. he soldiers and mob then placed lxim in a chair, and carried him about the town in a disorderly triumphant manner. The bellman wag then ordered to assemble the inhabitants, in order to subscribe money to defray the ex pences of two Delegates, )les-is. Charles Grimes and Adjutant William Minchin, to proceed to England, to impeach the Governor. The self-created Governor Johnston then proceeded to liberate the delinquents that were in confinement, and by his proclama tion, to make null and void the acts of the Courts of .Imli4:ature, and the evening was ushered in with :t blaze of illuruiu ttiorns and bonfires, and a disgraceful scene of drunkcone:.s a m id excess un precedented. °trended . 1(0 ice calls aloud for the in•urgeols to be brought to he bar, n ithont delay, so that lii, Majesty's Colony be from anarch, and their fitly he a lemon in future Ilcaitr JANEb ii .1111.% 1. 1 : • BANKRUPTS.
