I en ji,ie • at Chstittmx in i7e4; I joined the regiment, iii Nova- Scotia, in 1785; I was almost immediately trade a corporal; lea fen maths afterwards I was made a Serj_eant ; and, at Use cad of about a year and a half, I was made the Scr jeant-Illajor.—Whlle I was a corporal, I was made clerk to the regiment.

One suffers injustice from men, of great endowments of mind, with much lest of heart-burning that from men, whom one cannot help despising: :red, ifmv officers had been men of ma nifest supet iority of mind, I should, perhaps, not have so soon conceived the project of bringing them, or some of them, at least, to Shame and punishment for the d even flagrant breaches of the law, cimriiitted by them, and for their manifold, their eodlessc. wrer.,?• again-t the soldier; and against the public.— This project h . as conceived soearly as the year 1787, when an airair ha pp. r. , -(1, that first gave me a full insight into regimen tal justice. It was ...Melly this: that the Quarter Master, who Fad the of the men's provisions to them, kept abort e rurr~ l . part of it In hints , If. This, t I:e old serjeants told me, had beer, the r fur many yeasts; and, they were quite asto ni-lied and terrified at the idea of my complaining of it. This I OA. however ; hut, the reception 1 met with convinced me, that i must never make another complaint, 'till I gat sak to England, anti safe out of the reach of that most carious of courts, a Court Martial.—From this time forward, I began to collect materials for an exposure, upon my return t • Logiand. I had ample opportunities fee this. being the keeper of all the books, of every sort, in the regituent, and he owing the -B—i...oi...fairs banes than any other man. Bat, the win ter previous to our return to England, I tbbugbt if necessary ti make extracts from books, lest the books themselves should be destroyed. And, here begins the history of the famous Comet Marlint. In order to be able to prove that these extracts were correct, it was necessary that I should have a attune as to their being Eros copies. This was a very ticklish point. Ore foolish step here, would have Dent me down to tbe ranks with a pair of bloody shoulders. Yet, it was necessary to have the witness. I he•itated many mantis,. At one Hine, I had given the thing up. I dreamt twenty times, I dare No, of my papers being discovered, and of my being tried and flogged half to death. At last, however, some fresh art of injustice towards us made me Kt all danger at defiance. I opened my project to a corpo ral, whole name was Wittinne Balboni, who m rote in the office a .der toe, who was a very honest kilos% , who was very much bound to me, for my goodnem to him, and who was. with the sole eiception of myself, the only sober man in the whole regiment. To work we we'll, and durin,; 0 lung winter, while the rest were booting and snoring, we gutted no small part of the regimental books, rolls, nod other documents. Our way was this : to take a ropy, sign it with our names, and clap the regimental seal to it, FO that we might be able to swear to it. when produced in Court. AU these papers were put into a little hex, which I myself had made for the purpose. When we came to Portsmouth, there was a talk of searching all the boxes, which gave n• great alarm, and induced us to take out all the papers, pet them in a bat;. and trust them to a custom-house °Seer, who conveyed them ou shore. to his own house, whence I ra mmed them in a few days after. Thu: prepared, I went to London, and, on the 14th of Ja nuary, 119-2, I wrote to the then Seeretarg at War, Sir Geo. Yonge, stating my situation, my business/okb him, and my intentions ; enclosing him a letter or petition, from myself to the King, stating the subAance of all the complaints I had to make ; and which letter I requested Sir George Yonge to lay before the King —I waited from the 11th to the 24th of .lanu try, without receiving any answer at all, and then all 1 heard .was, that he wished to see me at the War-Ofike. At the IVar-011ice I au shown into an anti-chamber amongst Lumerous anxious-looking men, who, every time the door, vrilich led to the great man, was opened, earthed their eves th-it way with a mistiness regular and as uniform as if they had I.cen drilled to it. These people eyed me from bead to foot, and I shall never forget their look, when they mw that I was admitted into Paradi.e without being detained a single mi nate in Purgivory.—Sir t ;eorge Yonge heard my story, and that was appareuly all he wanted of me. I was to hear from him again in a day or two; and, after waiting for fifteen days without hearing from him, or any one else, upon the sub ject, I wrote to him again, reminding him, that I had, from the first, told him, that I had no other business is London ; that my stuck of mossy was necessarily scanty; and. that to detain me is London eves to rain mc. Indeed, I had, in the whole world, but about 300 guineas, whirls was a great deal for a person in my situation to have ,axed. Eery week in London, especially as, by way of episode, I had now married, took, at kast, a couple of guittels from my stock. 1 4 therefore, began to be very inpatient, and, indeed, to I c very suspicious, that military justice in England, was pretty nearly a-kin to military justice lr Nova.ccotia and New llrunswirk. The letter I now wrote was dated on the 10th of February, to which I got an answer on toe 15th, thou,;h the answer might have been written in a moment. I nas, in this answer, informed. that it was the intention to try the arcw.ed upon @sty one of the charges 'which I bad preferred; and, from a new-modelled list of charges, seat toe by the Judge Advocate, on the 2Sd of Febea:.ry, it appeared, that, even of ttroseeharges that were suffered to remain, the parts the most material were omitted. But, this was not all : I had all along insisted, that unless the Court-Martial were held io Loans, I could not think of appearing at it ; because, if held ie a garrisoned place like Portsmouth, the thing must he a mere mockery. In spite of this, bewever, the Judge Advocate's letter of the 23l of February informed me, that the Court was to be held at Purtsinvuth, or Ililsea. I remonstrated against this, and demanded that my remonstrance should be laid before the King, which, on the 29th, the Judge Advocate promised should be done by himself; but, on the sth of March, the Judge Advocate informed me, that be bad laid my remon strance before whom, think you! Not the King, bat the accused parties; who, of course, thought the court ought to assemble at Portsmoath or Hilt's, and doubtless for the very, very reasons that led me to object to its being held there. • Plainly seeing what was going forward, T. du the:ids of March, made, in a triter to Mr. Pitt, a representati4Of the whale eme,,giving him a history of the obstacles I had met with, wilieh letter concluded thus: " I have now, Sir, dune all a man ran do in such a ease. 1 have proceeded regularly, and, I inay add, respectfully, from first to last : if I am al lowed to serve my country by prosecuting men who have in jured it. I shall do it: if I am thwarted and pressed down hs those, whose office it is to assist and support me, I earnest do it: in either case, I shall he satisfied with having,daoe tmv duts, and shall leave the world to make a comparison be tween me and the men retinas I have accused "—This letter ( which, by-the-bve, the public robbers !ise not published) had t be cacti of thafiging the place of the Court-martial, which was now to he held in London; but, as to my other great ground of complaint, the leaving of the regiugentat books min scenred, it had no effect at a:1; and, it will he recollected, that, without those boas, there could be, as to most of the wei,;hty charges, no proof produced, without briuging for ward Corpses! Bestland, and the danger of doing that will be presently sees.—But, now, mark well as to these hooks; as to this great source of that sort of evidence, which was not to be brow beaten, or stifled by the dangers of the lash. Mark well thew-tarts, and from t 'sem judge of what I had to expert in the was of justice.—On the 22d of January, 1 wrote to Sir George linage for the express purpose of having the books secured ; that is to my, taken nut of the hands, and put out of the reach, of the parties accused. Oa the 24th of January, he told me, that Ii AD taken core to give diredions to have thew demigods secured. On the 18th of Felruary, in an wer to a letter, le which I (upon information received from the regiment) complained of the documents not bay ing been littered, he wrote to me, and I have now the letter before me, signed with his own hand, that he would write to the Colonel of the'reginimit about the books, &e.— " Although," he, " I canon doubt bet that the regi mental books kayo ken properly secured." This was no the IStk of Pearuary, mind ; aud, Bow it appears, from the do cuments, which the public robbers have pat forth, that the first time any order for seeeriez the books was given, was on the 15tA of March, though the Secretary told use he bad done it so the 24th of January, and repeated his Medial le writing, ao the ISA of February. There is quite magi* in this fact alone to ?new the public what sort *feetl stl of obtaining jostles. Without these written documents, nothing of irarrtance could he proved, roles* the non-commissioned officers and men of the regiment shbeld happen to get the bett-T of their dread of the lash; and, even thee, they could only speak from me mew,. All, therefore,dependesT upon tho-e written documents, as to the principal charges. Therefore, as the Court-martial was to assemble co the toith of Tarr ), I went down to Ports mouth on thr ?nth. in order to know fur certain what WM betwase Of tht booths ; and I fuocd, as, indeed, I suspected was the ease, that they bad never hews antra at all; that they had been left is the hands of the accused from the 14th of January to the very hoer of trial I and that, is short, my request, *to this poi*, the positive condition as to this most important matter, had been totally disregarded. —There re mained, then, notbiag to rest upon with *My but our ex tracts, confirmed by the evidence of Bestiand, the corporal, who bad signed them aloft with me; and this I had solemnly espied with him mot to have recourse to, unless he was first out of the army; that is to say, oat of the reach of the vin dictive and bloody lash. He was a very little fellow; not more than about five feet high, and had been set down to be discharged when he Went to England; but, there was a sus picion of his correction with me, and, therefore, they re solved to keep him. It would bare been cruel, and even trerfiditan, to have brought him forward under lath eirrent stances and, as there was no chance of doing any thing without him, I resolved not to appear at the Court-Mar tial, unless the discharge of &ahead was first grasted.— Accordingly, on the VUth of March, I wrote, (rein Prat ton, a village Dear Portsmouth, to the Judge Advocate, stating over again all the obstacles that had been thrown in my way, complaining particularly that the books and documents bad been left in poissessioa of the accused, contrary to my urgent request, and to the positive assurances of the Secretary at War, and concluding by demanding the discharge of a man, whom I should name, as the only condi tion upon which 1 would attend the Court-martial. I re quested nim to send me an answer by the ors* day, at night, at alb fanner bilging; and told him, that, unless such answer was received, he and those to whom my repeated applications had been made, might do what they pleased with their Court-Martial; far, that I confidently trusted, that a few days would place me beyond the scope of their power. No answer came, and, as I had learned, in the meanwhile, that there %rasa design to prosecute me for sedition, that was an additirmal motive to be quick in my movements. As I was going down to Portsinutan, I met several of time ser jamb coming up, together with the music -mister; and, as they bad none of them been in America, I wondered what they coold be going to London for; but, up* any return, I was told by a Capt. Lase, who bad been in the regiment, that they had been brought up to swear, that, at an enter tainment given to them by are before my departure from the regiment, I had drank " the destruction of the House of Brususoick." This was false; but, I knew that that was no reason why it should not be sworn by such persons and in such a ease. I had talked pretty freely, upon the occa sion alluded to; but I had neither laid nor thought any thing against the King, and, as to the Hann of Brunswick, I hardly knew what it meant. My head was filled with the corruptions and the baseness in the army. I knew nothing at all about politic:. Nor would any threat of this sort have iu duced me to get out of the way for a moment; though it certainly would, if I had known my danger; for glorious " times were just then beginning. Of this, however, I knew nothing at all. I did not know what the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act meant. When you have a mind to do a thing, every trifle isau additional motive. Lane, who had enlisted ne, and who had always shown great kindness towards me, told me they would send me to Botany Bay t and, I now verily believe, that, if I had re. otairied, I should have famished a pretty good example those who wished to correct military abases. I did not, how ever, leave England from this motive. I could nit obtain a chance of bUCCraI, without exposing the back of my poor faithful Mend Bestland, which, had I not pledged Impala* to do, I would not have done. It was useless to appear, un less I could have tolerable fair play; sad, besides, it seemed better to leave the whole set to do as they pleased, than to feu made a Mortifitld witness of what it was quite evident they had resolved to do. ET* be concluded to-marrow.] MONTAGU BURGOYNE, ESQ. The following Letter from Montnnux ika- GOTNE I of Mark-hall, Esq. Essex, is well worthy of the perusal and consideration of the Free. holders of that County, who will hare an oppor tunity of expressing their sentiments en the sub ject of it at the County Meeting at Chelsford, which is to take place to-morrow : TO THE EDITOR or THE ESSEX UNION. " Sia,--In conformity with the promise which I have given to your correspondent A Free holder and an Inhabitant, I beg leave to address you, and answer the charges he has bfought against me and others who think we aro doing 1 •our duty ; and likewise to defend myself against 1 the accusation with which he has favoured me in. dividually and personally. The resnit of the meeting to he holden next Saturday will throw a considerable light on our principles and opinions, and if me are not prevented by noise and [(insult, as substitutes fur argument and good sense, se shall, I believe, make it appear that we are the hest friends to our country, and that we arc sincerely attached to our King and the Constitu. tion ; but if wo can prove that abuses and mal practices have gradually crept into the House of our Representatives; and that the time is arrives! when the Speaker of their House expresses his indignation at their being avowed and justified, we submit it to a candid public, whether those who have a constitutional right to watch over the conduct of their Represeatatines can be blamed for wishing for an opportunity to deliver their sentiments on so interesting, but melancholy occasion ; we therefore feel twat anxious that our countrymen will attend at the County Meet. ing nest Saturday ; and form an opinion of our conduct and intention. s• As to myself, I do not blush when I tell you that I have had three places, and a regiment, and that I now have one place, and three troops of yeomanry cavalry. I resigned a very lucrative si tuation at the Victualling-Office, above twenty years ago. What my conduct was there, and what my reasons for quitting it were, I bare sufficient proofs and documents to thew. I may venture to appeal to a Noble Lord, of which this county is with reason proud as an inhabitant, nut only as the castigator of our foreign foes, but as the de termined enemy of peculation, and corruption, whether be did not discover when he presided over the Addiralty departnient, that those abuses and malpractices existed in the Victualling-office, of which I bad in vain complained, .and which being unredressod, though pointed put and offered to be proved, were the cause of my voluntarily quitting an office where I could not remain with advantage to my country, or with credit to myself. " The discoveries which I made in that depart. ment strongly impressed my mind with the exist. once oran improvident and aaaosomary espaniii. turn of the public money in sarb►irs branches of Government, and I am in lityliwn mind convinced that Admiral Markham who asserted that a third of the expences of the navy might be saved by a rigid economy, did not go beyond the limits of truth ; I do also 4erliy believe that Colonel Waidle, who I hope will receive the thanks of the county of Esse* neat Saturday, will be s able to prove h.•yond a doubt, that the whole of the income tax can he saved,' and the strength of the country increased, instead of being diminished by such a reform.—With these serval:ten, can I with patience hear that it is too late to thank such a man as Colonel Wardle ? From the Victualling Office I beg leave to con. duct the Freeholder and Inhabitant to the Excise Office. Though my individual prudence may be questioned in resigniig an emolument in that office, I shall not incur much censure with the inde pendent Freeholders of E•sex, where rights in Elections I could mot support whilst haling a place in the Excise. If any persoot is ignorant of the state of Representation of this County, I beg leak to refer him to usy first published Letter to the Freeholders. 64 It now remains fur me to say that I retain a place in the Exchequer, which at my death will be abolished, and which I would cheerfully resign to. morrow, if others would make the same sacrifice. I repeat it, let the Freeholder and inhabitant who attacks me, attend the meeting and propose resolution disapproving of sinecure places, and all unnecessary public expences; I pledge myself to support him. .One word on the subject of my ambition in hoping to represent the noisily. I repeat what I have often said, that I should be more proud of being the restorer of the rights or the county, than in being the object of their choice: bnt I will boldly declare, that if the county in which I live should be so lost to every public and private feeling as to refuse thanks to their benefactor, Colonel Wardle, and to deny their disapprobation of those abuses and mat. practices which have been brought to light by evi dence in the House of Commons, so far front thinking it an honour, I should think it a die. grace to represent them. 6c When a man is grossly attacked, he may, without presumption, say a word for himself.... Thanks to the Freeholder and Isehabitanl, have a right to look the Public and the County of Essex in the face, and assert that I have dis charged my public duties as an honest man to the best of- my abilities. I have only censured, when I have had reason to censure—( appeal not only to national, but provincial abases.—Thoso who contribute to the county rates should look at the New House of Coirection, and the mice. table Bridges, on which sd much of their moiler has been expended; if they unsatisfied with them, I will be so; but, as an Englishman, I will al. ways speak my honest sentiments: and when I perceive an attempt made to atter the law of the land, by taking from the pockets of the industrious Landholders and Inhabitants • considerable charge which the constitution hao justly placed on those superiors afore able to bear it, I will, by every legal means, oppose suck a measure, and 1 hope with as much success , as my friend Mr. Western in the House and I out of the House opposed the unneceitary and improvi. dent Bill to build and furnish accommodations for the Judges of Assizes, who are certainly entitled to every attention from the County of. Essex, but were perfectly satisfied / with the accommodations provided for them. " I hope that the Freeholdet and Inhabitant, together with his numerous friends and connections will be satisfied with this my answer to his charges. " IJUN Sir, " Your hune servant, " MONTAGU BUBI.OtNE." EXECUTION. Captain J. Sutherland, convicted at the last Admiralty Sessions of murdering Richard Wilson, his cabin-boy, was executed yesterday morning at Execution Dock, in pursuance of his sentence. At eight o'clock a cart, with a scat fixed in the centre, was drawn to the felons'-door of Newgeta, and in about a quarter of an hour the unfortunate • man was brought forth, with his. arms pinioned to his sides, a prayer book in one hand, and a bouquet in the other ; and having mounted into the cart, the rope which bound his arms was tied to the front rail. The executioner and his assist. ant then seated themselves on each side of him, and the cart advanced, preceded by the Admiralty- Marshal, 16 Sheriffs' officers on horseback, and about fifty constables with their staffs on foot.— The City Marshals and their men also attended to the limits of the City. The cavalcade proceeded through Newgate.street, Cheapside, Cornhill, Leadenhall.street, to the end of Whitechapel, down the Commercial-road, Cannoh.street, and in that direction to the place of execution. Dur. jug the passage, the wretched man appeared to pray with great devoutness, and was observed wrising with a pencil in his prayer book. On his near approach to Execution Dock, his hands were tied, and on his arrival at the spot, he was lifted out of the cart, and walk's! down the slip which hal to a temporary gibbet, el'ected for the purpose a few yards from low-water mark. Here he ex. hilted great marks of firmness ; and on the ar. rival of Dr. Ford, the Ordinary of Newgate, he begged to be allowed a few minutes to pray.— !This indulgence was granted; and having mount. ed the platform, he remained nearly 15 minutes in the most solemn and devout nearer, Of. Find reading-a form of prayer, which he had prep lired for the awful occasion. The wretched man thee, in a firm and collected tone of voice. solemnly declared his perfect convietiol that the wound* which he gave the boy 'wore nut the cause of his death; he denied hatinx pier red his intestines, and said he felt thoroughly aenviwed the boy died for Inc want of proper car,., And from some cause foreign to that for which ho was about to suffer. 11 , then deliver.ll up his praver-hook to the elm. c.itioner, and Dr. Ford havnuselthdrian, he threw his bouquet amongst thal l 6o.wd t and Was/ launched into eternity. I
