night of the With April, lad hoard the prisoner Clements at, " Let go, let p," shortly before the firing. The Ode shot was immediately followed by a general firing upon the convicts ; by it. M'Ardle and another were killed, and several wounded. When the convicts were killed. there was no mutiny nor resistance among any of the pri soners below. . .

Was one of the soldiers on board the Chapman, and recollected the firing on the evening of the SlBlll April. He was corporal or the guard on that slay ; he did not ter the bring begin, for he was then in the cabin, and about eight o'clock he heard a great rushing down below—hr im i nsdiately came out. and heard it said that the convicts had gist upon deck. Ile paw none of them slwre, but still heard a terrible noise below iii the prison. '.l'l►e firing app►ared to him to last ninon ten ',d ilutes. He could not say what soldiers fired the shots, as the evening was dark. Cross-examined by the con MO N• SENJ EA NT.

George Cook, ttttt nher soldier, who was on board the Ciorpoza, said he ',collected the firing on the end' of April. Ile first heard LI musket fired f the aft-part of the ship, .1.111 going toward. the spot he heard there was a general rising among the men; the general firing lasted fur about lei' minutes, and he did nut know who gave the orders fur filing, nor did lie see Captain Drake until it wee over. Cross-crund.ted by Mr. ALLEY. He had no doubt the tiring saved the ship, and the lives of the officers and crew. Wlnle the firing was going ots, he heard several of the con victs exclaim, " Fire away and be d--s 1 ! you'll soon Inge your ammunition; we went quarter, and will give none, we'll rows have the slap." He tiistioetly heard the convicts rush in a body, and bear down the door which opened into the hos final ; it adjoined the bulk-head which aas be tween them and the magazine, mid in the litter the areas and ammunition were kept. If the con victs gut into that place, the ship would have been inevitably lost. He recollected the mustering of the men to examine their irons, and more that' 80 of them had broken them. IViniess heard Cousin and oilier convicts% declare they 'omit to hate risen and seized the ship, and murdered the officers and crew, merely keeping alive the chief -mate, until 1w guided them near some port, when they were to dispose of him also. They were only prevented Husking this attempt at the titue they meditated it, by the Aorthowoberland sisals of was corning in sight on the inurning after they left Si. Jago. Several flints and cartridges were stoles' from the soldiers on board between the 17th and •2811) April. Some saii ors were kept in custody in hour for aiding the con victs in their preparations to snake the attempt. A feint attempt was to have been roade by oue party in the aft side, and a real one at the other, so as to break flown the bulk head. This lie had braid Col lins declare on board the chip. He had no doubt in the world that when the firing took place, the prismiers were actinnly engaged in commencing their operations below, and attritaptivg to break down the barrier which cloud between thew and the tnagazine. The evidence being here closed for the prosecu tion— Mr. Justice PARK observed, that he had not upon his notes a tattle of evidence against the I'6. sinner Drake, the Capt“iii of the Chapeouti. lie maw, therefore tio necessity of putting low upon Iris def.nce. With respect to the other isuner, Clements, he had no wish whatever to elicit from the Jury any opininit by anticipation—fur it was their exclusive prostrtve to soy 11 1 111. it particular weight should attach to the evidence ; but he vas at tier same tune, ready to hear any tottservistrop which they may think tit to address to the Court before even he called on Clemente for his defence. The Foreman of the Jury nid e that the Jury had quite made up their muscle use the whole of the come, and were ready to give u verdict without giving the Court any further trouble. They instantly retarued a verdict of Not Guilty' for both Prisoners. Mr. Justice PARK said, that now they had re. corded their votelict he was ready to slate. riser the opiaiume of the Court was in full secordaure with dirks up the present case. it was one of the deepest Waporterwer to the country.

Tn this eve they were re• hewed from any thing like the facts which consti tuted the crime of retarder. as alpinist Captain Drake there wee not eves a sctsilla of evidence in support of the charge made against him. With respect to Clements, the slight degree of evidence which stood to idled him was Wally frittered sway by the variation, in fact, the positive contradiction of statement,. made by the wituesses themselves for the prosecution. The people of this country are greatly indebted to the Government, fur the pains it has taken to rt►ake a full inquiry into the grounds of the pre.ent charge. A great nundter of witnesses hare hero brought from •broad to in the inquiry, and the most laudable $llllll. have been taken to put the Jury in possession of all the facts of the care. The Prisoners applied for their discharge, but were told by the Court that this could nn► be con ceded until it was ascertained whether the Grand Jury lied considered other bills rehttitig to the same transaction, which had been submitted to them. The Grand Jury shortly after, appeared in Court, and returned a true bill against John Drake, Alex raider Deicer, and Christopher Burstead, for mur der. LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1819. By the arrival of the Kisgsion from Java, we have derived from various sourcea itstelligence of great importance as affecting British interests it' the Indian Seas. The Governor of Fort 51w:borough has displayed his characteristic energy and activity since his arrival in Sumatra, and has anxiously en deavoured to extend the British influence over the whole of that valuable and extensive island. We lately apprised our readers of the encroachments and aggressions of Dutch commercial speculators in that interesting quarter of the globe, hut we cuip fidently anticipate that the measures which he has taker, as Political Agent for the Archipelago, to check the 'progress of Dutch dotniitation until orders shall have been sent out from Europe, will prove - efficient. Sumatra has hitherto beeti very little known. The European establialmieuts are entirely on the coast—Europratis hail never pene trated into the interior—and, judging from the ruinous establishments maintained by England, the island itself was considered of but little value.— Nothing could exceed the apathy, indifference, and ignorance which prevail among Europeans respect. jag the island gratrally. All attempts 144 penetrate into the interior were reckoned &operate ; no European won hl embark in them. The popula tion of the interior were considered as savages, and the mountains itnpassable, and yet the natives *mild still bling down their gold and cassia, and camphor. &c. for which Sumatra had fmin the earliest ages been famous. The Governor felt there was but one alternative, and that was, to open the rued by going himself. Ilis enterprise was crowned with *pieces.. Ile penetrated into the interior in three different directions—to the southward iu land of Nlaritis, to the important provinces occupied by a people called the Passtiminalie—to the northward to Nlenangcali ))))) the far-famed capital of the Malay Empire—and inland of Bencoolen, across the Island to Palembang. The facts of this charge are precisely the same as that for which John Drake was already tried—only inakto.z. it fur the murder of one of the other per sons killed on hoard the Chapman, nil the night of the t?Sili April, 1817. The Graml Jury also found a true bill against TitAnzio Eittikmald, for au assault. They returned the hill nut found against Joliii Hogan and Alex ander Wuldegrave, for murder. Captain Drake, against whom the second bill was found, applied to the Court fur per 00000 mon to reinaiii out on bail until his trial was brouAlit on. The COURT refused the application. and ordered that Alexander Dewer (the Ductor, who surrender ed in Court) and John Drake should remain in custody. Their trial will take place tmitturiow.

The result has been the discovery of a mine of wealth—a country highly culti.ated, and abound.. iug in precious metals. The Passinnanalis are au uthletic line race of men, as superior to the people on the coast as it is possible to conceive; they are agricultural and numerous. At Menangcalion he was gratified with a population and country fully equal to any part of Java. Within the space of twenty miles the population does nut fall short of a million. In short, it is the Governor's opinioe, that, with a little encouragement, far greeter re sources are to be found in Sumatra than the British could have derived from Java. fist snitch remains to be done. A Central Government must be es tablished; the whole Island must be brought under control ; and the avenues of commerce, now closed till, re-opened. Our readers are aware, thst Menungcabon was the plaice whence all the grdd that gave Malano the mime of the Golden Cher sonsus was carried, and that in opening a trade with that country we shall find a great vend for our manufactures. and in return receive what we molt want—money; nosier existing circum stances, will be more profitable than colonial produce. These discoveries have not, however, been made without gre.st person-al risk and fatigue. The country could only be explortrt on foot--"nountoins 6,000 feet high were to be crossed, and rocks, pre. cipices, and forests, to be traversed. For many nights the party had no dither but the leaves they could collect after their day's journey, and their joureies were seldom less than from twenty to thirty miles a day over the very worst roads that ever were passed. Iu this expedition the Governor was accompanied by Lady RaFet.es. She W:111 occasionally carried on a mins's back, but ge nerally walked, as the roads were too had to admit of her being carried in a chair. Doctor ARNOLD. Physician, and Naturalist, fell a sacrifice to the fatigue, and died of a violent fever. Dr. Illoasetet.o, who accompanied the Governor to filenangcabon, was, on the lith of August, the date of our last intelligence from Fort Mat lborough, dangerously ill, with a clyseutery, but we hope hist life will be spared to carry home the important collections he has made, both in Java and Sumatra. As this was the first appearance of the Europe's') authority in the interior, Lady Eaeriss was the most peaceable standard the party could hoist. It was impossible for the natives to consider . their ob. ject warlike, when the Governor proceeded smarm ed, and confided his wife to their hospitably. _ They found the country beautiful slid magnifi cent.

The Abbe Furbin de 1110011, whose journey to the Holy Land we have already mentioned, has re turned to Paris. He departed in the summer of 1817, landed near Tunis, and celebrated mass on the very place where Saint Louis breathed his last sigh. Thence he proceeded to Greece and Con stantinople, traversed Asia-Minor, and the scenes where St. Paul preached the Gospel. Damascus, Mount Libation, the country of the Maromtes, the road of the Patriarchs, ■ ll the monutnenis ce lebrated in the history of religion fixed his pious curiosity. The Abbe celebrated mass at Bethlehem, at Nazareth, Jerusalem. on the banks of the Jordan. and rendered himself useful to the Christians of those countries. The religious of the Roman Com munion, charged with the care of the holy places, were deprived of this privilege during his residence at Jerusalem. They have confided to him the honour. able mission of making claims in their favour at the Sublime Porte, it, opposition to the Greek Schismatics, who succeeded in introducing them selves into the holy sepulchre.
