He had been found guilty upon all the charges, and suspended until His Majesty's pleasure should be known. His Majesty afterwards confirmed the sen tence of the Co. , rt-Martial, and considein.g him an unfi , pars ro t coniinue in the service, he got leave to sell sot. This was the oily provocation General G ynne gave this gentleman. who had since conti nualr) r r ,reuted hint 0 ids the out'? gross and scan. deka, iineb, accusing him of turtiii.g his back' in America. and of a :fir; as a traitor to his country ; repeating various opprobrious epithets, all of which wrre u: , rrly unfounded. But all this, the Learned Counsel said, his Ghent did Nu mcan to trouhle the Court will., mail a few days ago, when he received a ?Toss personal insult Ile was walking down 01- ft rd- erect, convervi , s with a brother officer, when the Defendant came ty to him, and pnintirs a stick et him, said, in a fond voice, " You are General Gwynne. you robbed me of my property, by da tivtng me of my commission, and ruined my family ; you are a wound el and a rascal, and I will go int this shop, and post you for a coward." Ms. Gaaaow was then proceeding to state more of tbe ciicumstances, when Lord ELtessoaourais told him he had stated sufficient--The Rule was cordingly granted. TYR - I[ll,lo a BABBITT, ATTOINIST..

Messrs Jain and Co. ;Is consequence gave 1 information at the Office, and Adkins has been since exerting himself to apprehend him. The officer. at le,gth, learned from a f emale. of the name of Willis. in Pitt -street, Tottenham-court-road, 1 1 14 11 $ ~s cohabited with, that he was at Plymouth, apdtLat he had his letters di, e3ed to him 'bete, by the r.aine of Pearce.

Adkins brought him to town ; and on Thursday tv. nit., he underwent a short examinatind, before Mr. READ ; sod, the offence being committed in the city, the Magistrate sent him bent, the Loan MAYOR.

IM•7IIEr T?. Mereheat, kittiosti 'l de tee den,, at WEXFORD ELECTION. We stated in a former Paper, that the Rev. Mr. Sutton nominated Mr. John Colelough. After he had finished his addre.s, which we also inserted, Picace Newsom RING, Esq. thus addressed the Freehold. rs Mr. Sheriff—ln rising to address a Tel y few words to this as-emhly. I trust that I shall not Ise considered as ever 'aching upon your time, nor do I presume on the supptoition, that any thing whicii comes from me cal be delivered its the same master. le style ttii‘ it has been exhihited by that finished clerical orator, the Rev IViltiarn Sutton. However, Sir, as an independent H. enr of this extensive and highly resneeahle county, I beg leave to offer a few observations with regard to the pretensions of one of the Candidates wh.,) are now come forward to so. licit the distinguished honour of becoming its Re presentatives in the ensuing Parliament. Allow me, then, Sir, to express my unqualified and decided ap probation of W. C. Alcock, to become one of those Reerssentatives. Knowing him, as I do, from my earli-st childhood. I have had opportunities of ap preeiring that gentleman's worth, not only as an individit ii whose moral charafter must ever place him high indeed in the estimation of every honest man, but likewise as one, the qualities of whose mind, and whose extensive general information, af ford the brightest prnspee. to this county, and give every just expettation to his Constituents, should he be eleCted, of seeing themselves both vir tuously and ably represented; I am bold to asseit, that there is no person here present, who can, with justice, call in question the truth of what I have now advanced; but were a proof wanting, I should only refer to that part of Mr. Alcock's political conduit, where, on the most trying question which was ever agitated within the walls of the Par liament House of this kingdom, he indisputably proved himself the incorruptible friend of Irish in dependence. Neither do I think, Sir, that it enhances that gentleman's pretensions in any trifling manner, when I reflec on the noble family to which he is so nearly allied ; a family whose extensive property in this country entitles it to every consideration, and whose undeviating loyalty, and unbounded attach ment to the constitution, is so well known, and so universally acknowledged—a family, with many of whose members I have the honour to be personally acquainted; and I do assert. notwithstanding what may be surmised or imagined by its enonies in this county. that the United Kingdom cannot produce one where there is to be found more sterling virtue, more honorable independence. Added to this, S.r, behold the situation in which Mr. Alcock stands at present, and for a moment Trite on what it was twelve months ago You will perceive. that all the great leading interests which then opposed that gentleman's eleetion, have at length opened their eyes, and are now come forward, dews mined to support bins. in the full conviftion of how much more eligible he is m become your Representative, than any other man this county can afford ; in fan, he unites in his favour those interests. which, I am sorry to say, have been but tro long opposed to each ether in the county of Weeford, but whose union at present clearly demonstrates the almost unanimous sense which is entertained of Mr. Al cock's iodependent spirit and fitness to attain that high honour. to which be this day aspires. And it I know the gentleman, though a friend to the pre sent Ministry. he is incapable of countenancing the measures of any Administration. except so long as he conceives them tending to the advancement ul the public weal. And here, Sir. permit me to remark, notwith standing what may have been said on taking up your time by reverting to opinions which have been sported at these Hustings on a former occasion, by Gentlemen, whose sentiments, 1 feel both proud and happy to say, have always been completely at variance with those 1 profess ; that the late Admi nistration, which gave such energetic support to the brother of one of the present Candidates, and whose measures, in my opinion, tended to throw disgrace upon those realms, and place their loyal inhabitants in the last stage of ruin—was an Administration, whose leading features were imbecility, injustice, want of caconomy, and a total disregard to tbe fun , damental principles of the Constitutint. ; a Canaan tion, which is justly the admiration of every country in Europe, but which the measures of the late Ad ministration tended virtually tru destroy ; an Adrni• nieuation, which did nothing to justify their arro grant claims to the possession of all the talents, all the experience, and all the judgment of the country; or to justify the confidence of the credulous people, who thanked their., before they had done any other ail but that of accepting those places of which they had been so long ambitious; but which. thanks to God, and L. their own mi,condue, they were unable to hold but for so very short a period. I shall detain your attention, Mr. Sheriff, but !be a few seconds longer, merely whilst I suggest. that it must surely be the wish of every persoe, that this oiliest should be carried on with that quietness and good humuur b for which. I am happy to say.lhis convoy has been always remarkable. Often at it has been contested, it ha. hitherto escaped those scents of riot and confusion which have disgraced oilier places. This I attribute chiefly to the cha raeer aed conduct of the Candidates who have ap peared on the Hustings, in the different contests which have taken place within my memory ; parti cularly of that excellent man, whom I am proud to call my friend, Mr. Ogle. It was a maxim of his, never to interfere with use tenantry of any get-le ns who thought proper to oppose him. This .p.eversted much of those jealousies and heart-burn ,tips, which a contrary line of concise is always sure to occasion ; for this is a business on which all men are sore. and as such interference can scarcely be remsciled with the chars ter of a gentleman, so there are few gentlemen who would not look upon it as a personas insult offered to themselves. I own, that in this light I feel it t ead Ms wan sh•ad entkalesir Ls a. pirate the inierral of tee tract, Mail perienally easier le tee _for the socked rool impede. teee-hke •linnfit. lam the best friend of my tenant; and he is a bad man who endeavours to make me his enemy. There is another subjelt which sometimes Manlove r *inns New York f or men's minds, indeed always when reverted to; I see. mean, Religion. It should, therefore, be the duty reset---seseee • -* easseerned, from he;ng nude the instrument of fac tion. I own, Sir, I have heard, though I flatter myself the report is unfounded, that the Mtri.tett of Religion, forgetting their situations, have be .nne the canvassing agents for one of the ;•recent Candi dates. I have been told that every irfinence which they possess has been used, in order to persuade people that this Elation is the ean•e of their Reli• ghat. Nay, I have been told, that a Reverend Gentleman, high in rack amongst them, has pub licly canvassed in the same manner ; and that the inferior Clergy aft by his desire I sincerely hop this is not true ; hut it it shrub' he so, I pledge myself that the penple o 4 England and Ireland shall know which party it is that really endeavours to do that, which the opponents of His Majesty's preteen Ministers tell yon is their greatest crime, viz. raise a cry of Religion, in order to obtain votes at • conteste• Elation I cannot omit. Sir, availing myself of the present occasion, to testify the very lively satislatgion which I feel at seeing another gentleman, Colonel Ram, a candidate for the sitffrages of this connsy ; a gen tleman whose amiable ch.staCter, and many virtues, have long since ensteated him to a numerous circle of steady friends, and whose acknowledged inde- pendence, patriotic spirit, and extensive property, have, at two successive eleCtions, been the means of returning him one of your County Members. The trust reposed in him he executed with fidelity, and now comes forward to solicit a repetition of your favours, in the I.tfri.ible hope of oeing of serviLe to his country, and proud in the support of many powerful interests. Those are the two gentlemen. by making choice of whom to represent them, I would entie,tt the Freeholders of this county to shew their independ. ence ; nor have I a doubt of the issue of the contest proving my wishes gratified ; convinced. as I am, that they will ever display the truest patriotism in the defence of our liberties and our laws. and ever exe►t their best energies to promote the interests of Ireland, and to preserve our glorious Constitution, by a steady and unbounded attachment to the very best of Kings. Mr. ISCAVAIAN rose, and asserted. that Mr. Ram had voted for the Union in compliance with the in• struftions of his constituents. Mr. Simon replied, I believe I have been pet. fealy correct, and have not deviated in the smallest :rfrom the fad, when I assert, that Mt. Rain ote for the Union, and that he did not receive the instrudirns of his constituents so to do ; I am well aware, that a paper was lying at the Custom house in this town, an the custody of a revenue officer, who was the servant of the Crown, and an adive agent of his party, for the purpose of re ceiving the signatures of such gentlemen as he could ilifluence, or might be disposed to sign it, in favour of that destrudive measure, by which our dearest and most valuable rights and privileges have been sacrificed, anti for ever extinguished! But, I am bold to say, that this county was not at that time convened by the Sheriff, for the purpose of taking the sense of it upon that question; and, therefore. that Mr. Ram could have received no such instruc- Lions. As to the charge of the Learned Captain (Mr. King.)that a Rev. Gentleman, high in rank amosgst the Roman Catholic Clergy, his made an impro. per use of his influence over his Hock, to induce them to vote at this Eleaion, or words to that ef feet. lam authorised by a Roman Catholic Gen tleman. of high consideration in this county, and who now stands near me (Mr. W. Redmond) to say, that such charge is unfounded in fail, and can. not be supported by a avietilla of evidence—before I sit down, let me exhort the Roman Cathoiic Eleaors not to allow the freedom of their choice to be biassed by any undue influence—the return of the Members, I am bold to say, is in their hands— by a free, manly, firm, and constitutional exercise of the eleeire franchise, which privilege the law has confided to them. they must 'arra./ in returning my friend Mr. Colelough, as the ()Ned of their choice ; who has ever been the advocate of Catho lic Emancipation, as well as the most sincere and tree supporter of the King and Constitution. We noticed in a former Paper the attempt of a Treasury Journal to divide the Eleaors of Irel.md into two classes—Loyal Prolestasts and Disloyal rapists; and to represent them all as direaed in the exercise of the elective franchise, by their religion, without regard to any other consideration. The wickedness, and the impotence of the attempt, we are confident, will defeat its object, and, therefore, any observations for the purpose of refutation are superfluous. We, therefore, shall mffely notice one single proof of the ignorance or wilful misre presentation which has been praised in pursuance of this system. The Paper, to which we allude in one of its late number, says—ii Belfast, Innis. killen. Athlone, Dungarvan, Armagh, Carlow, Cashel, Clonmell, Bandon, Youghal, Dundalk, Wexford, Colerain, and Ross, have already re turned friends of the present Ministry." Who would suppose, after -such a boat, that these are mostly close Boroughs It is a fad, that the re turn for the Borough of Wexford is this time in Mr. Nevii.a.a, and that gentleman has rettuned himself. Such is the proof given of the popularity of the present Ministers in Ireland. Mr. Nrvit. Le has re turned himself for his own Borough I l I At the final close of the poU, for the boroughs of Flint, Caergwrle. Overton, etc the numbers were, for Lieut.-Colonel SHIPLEY 193—Sir S R. GLYIII4i 18+—Majority 9. Colonel Soar ay, in his manly and spirited address to his Constituents, says—'• I honour and the King, I love my Country, her Constitution, and her Liberties, and am veady to shed the last drop of my blood in their d. fence. I am firmly attached to our Church Estabishment ; yet, at the same time, a warm friend to liberal tole ration, considering it as her distinguishing feature and best security; but I do most strongly d'-precate any attempt to make religion a stalking-horse to arobitioii ; or a pretext for exciting divisions and dis sensions among the people. To the immediate duties of the Commons' House of Parliament, I pledge myself to pay unwearied attention, to attack corruption in every shape and farm it, which she may appear, and to ase my best endeavours to pre vent an increase of your burdens, by the tr e ad s a t • ''• .
