The Court thee adjourned until Monday meraing, THtt•,li u.Ny. siorsoar, M•MCH 9. This morning. at nir.e o'clock precisely, the Court met, with the usual ceremonies. purtarant to ad; liniment. and Sir Home Popham entered upon his defence: His ohserva:wns generally tended to •hew that Officers, having commands Ike his. could not be ft trrted by the literal tenor of the orders usually given. A command like that, was, from its vet y nature, dlscrrtion•try, and the word desert. tion was of very comprehinssve meaning. Admiral Rooke, when he attacked and took Gibraltar, had no orders to..guida him; bat he wes not broogfit to trial. Lord St. Vincent, when he attacked Term :if:, did an wirhout sr.' , mans, although it could t be considered as wit/1m the limits nt his command. The illustri.•ns Nelson, when he pursued the French fleet to the West Indies and back, certainly went, by his own discittion, very march out t•f the course of his com.nard ; but it would have hoer. impossohle to have Idamed him. the capture tt Cum.& was entirely an tlpi.dstion of discretim:. Sir Home Popham recapitulated several other err.. ditions, which, he said. were much more unauthoT rised elan that which he had undertaken. and tor which the Commanders who had undertaken them, • had never been called to any account. Hi:: expedi tion. h.- contended, :vas striftly within the limits of his command ; and this he oh , uld prove, he btmedi to the sat.sfaCtion of his country, by the evidence which he should bare the hotour to lay before the Court. Sir lime, in his defence, particularly vriAed to impr.-ss the Court with the convinion, that, in l.is private interviews with Mr. Pitt, he (Mr. Pirt) had sanetioned and agree with Sir Home on the pro pr:ety of Isis attacking Buenos Ayres s but that all his inietvoews were of that secret nature: thus from the unkrtunate death of rat groat man, he could not adduce any positive evidence of such sand.cu: iSut he was confide:lt he should, from the vs. ry re : spetiabse evidence be stoma call on, be en-bled to ,intree tha: such conasnun;catirus‘ had aatsaliv bare I places although it was impossible. itcna the ;:cants ct the ! ; :re Mmi s:ron; lite r cel arl the te Hoc , : ope al his their their ceive( of the and I 311(11 Hu'? k p:11 arior a' W .
