Thinking their Commander was tardy in complying with the order of the Lords of the Admiralty, when called upon, on Wiclatsiday morning last, to wash decks and scrub the ship, they refused, and went aft in a body to the quarter-deck ; they requested to know why their leave was kept back, anti entreated it should be im mediately granted. The }First Lieutenant told them it was the Captain's wish (who was absent vs knee), that only a watch should have liberty at once, and on their return, the other watch should hate the same indulgenee. They replied in one voice, " No; all or hoer." On Thursday, the whole of the crew acre granted fourteen days Li berty, but were nut paid 011.

They complied its the most orderly manlier, and arrived at Cha tham on Saturday morning; but the ship's books not being male up, they were informed they could not Le paid until Monday (this morning). They appeared estittietl. suet said they wished for no more indulgence than the Thaaderer's crew had received. Their conduct has been pi rfectly peaceable throughout.
