WEilt ord'ered his cable to be cut, and made sail on t 11It Brig, and notwithstanding the, Veit superioritY , tit• force ,be,. had:: to contend pith, he with lit little Crew of only Abirty-four men, defended the S ; es,:el ssin:the most gallant Manner, and by a spirited fire from the Ferreter; kept 1)i8 assailants at bay pa near u t es. difficulties he had, to encounter, howeer, were •such a neither skill nor courage could• mouni—the:wind was against his getting out of the river, his sails and rigging were cut to pieces, and at this moment 'the Ferr . eter gratinded.. cori dition;b3ing perfectly unmanageable; and not being able to get a gun to bear, the Enemy boarded him on the bows and stern in great numbers. Further resistance would have been rash and unavailing,,and; iu all probability, would have•occasioned a sacrifice of the few men he had'; motives of humanity; therefore, suggested to Mr: WEIR the ptopriety of ordering his people below. Great praise is due to Lieut. WEIR for the cool ness and presence of mind displayed by him On this trying occasion, and to which, indeed, •may be at-, tributed the preservation of the lives of his people. • Lieut. WEIR made a. very , animated defence, in which he expatiated witheonsiderable ability On the' zeal, prorriptitude, and alacrity displayed by his handful of men on this occasion, and concluded' with a very able and energetic appeal-to the feelings Of the Court and his auditors. The Court hiving heard the evidence; and baying maturely weighed and considered .the same, were of opinion that the. Ferreter was captured by the Enemy's Gun•-vessels in the River Einnas on the 31st March, and were unanitnorisly of nion that Lieut. WEIR used every exertion to defend. the said Brig, and That further. resistance would have been fruitless ; the Court • do therefore unani- • tnously adjudge Lieut.WElß, his Officers and Crew; to' be most honourably acquitted, and they are here :by most honourably acquitted acemdingly.--The ,VreSident returned Lieut. WEIR his sword, with a handsome and appropriate compliment ; and every, friehd to real merit must wish to see this brave and deserving OffiCer - loOn have an opportunity to use it in `defence a his Country.

Lord PORCHESTER observ ed,- that the Committeeh4t come to no resolutions to preclude the PetitiOnerfrOinealling any legal ei,4 7 device oa the scrutiny, although they could not re ceive evidence tending to shew that Peers a the realm'had interfered in the elution, because there was no substantive allegation in the Petition thal Peers had so, interfered.--DRAKE, who was in the custody of the Keeper of Newg,ate, was next exa- Mined, and his testimony was in a variety of instan oesincorreet and cOntradietory.—Mr. MORRIS stated, that as' he l understood the resolution of the Corn mittee, it did 'not Preclude theni from taking cogni zance of such interference, if the matter should arise accidentally in thP course of the legal proofs to be given before the Committee. The decision went only to prevent eviderico 'being given of such inter+ ference as a substantive head of charge, without going to affe& particular votes. In this opinion the Corn. mittee appeared to concur. DUBLIN, APRIL 22.
