intention to appear against them next week at the Assi . zes at Salisbury. (Signed) C. W. DANCE, Lieut.-Col. H.P. N.B. I have omitted to observe, that the loss of the expansion by the chains breaking, lessen ed our power one-third, and we travelled the whole Way on one wheel only; i. e. one wheel bolteo, to the axle. On Saturday, August Ist, after having ex amined every part of the carriage, and found no thing injured except what has been before stated, and having repaired the same, Mr. GUrney ran the steamer, with the baroucht attached to it, about two o'clock p.m. thwugh Pulteney-street, Laura Place, &c. &c., for about an hour, to as certain whether the machinery was perfect. .The whole wo r k e d t o a d m i rat i on, w i t h a b out halt the power of the engine ; she ran from about nine to eleven miles an hour. On Monday morning, the 3d of August (to avoid any repetition of the affair at Melksham), Mr. Gurney having moved the carriages during the middle of the preceding night by horses, till beyond, the town of Melksham, they arrived within six miles of Devizes. During this operation the movement was very slow and tedious, the steamer having the same barouche attached to it, and only attended by one post carriage with a pair of horses. The post boy appeared tired of the continual stopping, and tedious advance. At half-past six a.m. Mr. Gurney having got up the steam, he started ; and in order to get away from the manufacturing dis trict without any chance of further molestation, he laid on the full power of the engine. Such was the rapidity of the movement to Devizes, that the post-horses were completely blown, and in a white lather ; the post-boy declared " that instead of going slower with the steamer, as he had expected, they travelled at such a rate, he never had such hard work in his life as it was to keep up with them." - At the bottom of Devizes Hill, met the mail, and another coach, which stopped to witness their ascent to the top of the hill, which is re markably steep ; the steamer (with the barouche invariably attached to it) ascended the hill with out stopping, at the rate of from five to six miles an hour. On reaching the top the passengers on the top of the mail cheered, and both parties moved on respectively. At Devizes took in fresh coke, and were most kindly received by the inhabitants, particularly Mr. Burt, who rendered peculiar assistance both going and returning, which induced them not to hurry. They therefore proceeded from Devizes at about seven o'clock, at a steady pace to Marl borough, where they arrived without any re markable occurrence. Here they were also very kindly received, and great interest was expressed to know how the carriage would go up Marlborough-hill ; Mr. Gurney ordered the full power to be laid on the engines, and the carriage ascended to the top of the hill without stopping, at the rate of seven miles an hour. The people on foot were soon left behind, and those on horseback accompanied the steamer for several miles, showing great satisfac tion as they went along. The carriage came on through Hungerford, Newbury, &c., at a steady pace, to Reading, where they were met, before they entered the town, by the late Mayor and several other gentlemen on horseback and in car riages, who received them with the greatest civi lity, and accompanied them through the town, where the'y were greeted in a peculiar manner. Three persons got up behind, in addition to the usual number, making in the whole seven, and proceeded about three miles. Came on to Cranford Bridge steadily, where they arrived at a quarter-past five o'clock p.m.; thus making the distance of 82 miles (from six miles the Bath side of Devizes to Cranford Bridge), in eleven hours, including all stoppages. The whole journey was performed without the slightest accident or stoppage. It was observed by every person that no horse took any notice of the carriage the whole jour ney. Nothing perhaps can possibly convey so satisfactory a proof of the confidence of every person, both in the machinery and safety of the whole, as the fact that three of the engineers and two of the gentlemen fell into a sound sleep at different times during their homeward journey. The opinion of Mr. Gurney and all the engi neers is that the machinery is in better order from the work it had than it was at starting. As the proof of it, the journey from Devizes to Cran ford Bridge was made in four hours less time returning than it was going, and the carriage seemed to work with more ease the latter part of the journey. The heavy rain which fell during the afternoon drenched them completely, but made no sort of difference to the progress of the carriage. The rain which fell on the boiler and chimney made no appearance whatever of steam or vapour, which might have been expected. . - - f •_ t, 'tlL THE ARMY. A detachment of the Rifie Brigade arrived in London yesterday morning from Scotland, on route to Devonport. A detachment of the 55th Regiment of Infantry is ordered to embark this morning at the Tower stairs, on board a steam packet, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham. A detachment of the 87th Foot will embark this morn ing at the Tower stairs, on board a steam-boat, for Sheer ness. A troop of the 6th Regiment of Dragoon Guards has been ordered from Dorchester to Christ Church, on Coast Duty. A detachment belonging to the 4th Regiment of In fantry, arrived in town on Thursday, from Glasgow, on route to Fort Pitt, at Chatham. A detachment belonging to the 2d battalion of the 60th Rifle corps, arrived in town on Thursday from Glasgow on route to Portsmouth. GALWAY, Ave. 31.—Yesterday morning, about half past eleven, the Commander of the Forces of Ireland, ar rived, and was met by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, who commenced the inspection of the corps stationed at this place, the 75th Regiment. At two o'clock be visited the dinners of the men; the regularity of which, and system of messing, he commended in high terms of praise. At half-past four the whole battalion turned out in full review order, in the square of the town ; and after marching past, went through many battalion and light in fantry movements with great steadiness and precision. It then formed into square; after which the Commander of the Forces expressed his high approbation of the appear ance of this very fine regiment, and immediately left the ground. The day was remarkably fine, and the assem blage was not only very numerous, but highly respectable. In the evening the Officers of the 75th regiment entertain ed the Judges on the Circuit and a large party to dinner, which General Sir John Byng honoured with his com pany. We regret to hear that this regiment is under orders to march. TWENTY-FIFTH REGlMENT.—Yesternight the first di vision of this gallant regiment, which acquired a high cha racter for steadiness and discipline in this city, while quar tered here about two years ago, debarked at Newhaven from the Velocity steamer from Aberdeen. It was nine o'clock at night before the detachment marched into the Castle ; and during its progress through the streets, the populace, attracted by the sound of the drums, received it with loud and reiterated cbeers, as the old Edinburgh regiment. The officers whointived yesternight are Major Chambers, Captain Sweelyy, Lieutenant Sweeny, and Ensign Reid. The second division will wive on Friday, by the same mode of conveyance, and the detachment from Braemar on Saturday, by land. Yesterday morning a party of 'the 78th Highlanders left the Castle to occu p y that remote station. —Edinburgh Observer, Sept. I. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1829. The next accounts from the theatre of war are looked for with impatience, notwithstanding the submission of the PORTE to terms which a month before it had rejected with its proverbial arrogance. Ambassadors, we are told, had been named to proceed to the head -quarters of the Russian General to treat for peace. If their motions prove as tardy as the progress of Turkish diplomacy, we suspect that General DIEBITSCH will spare them a long journey, for his advanced guard was at Kirk-kilissa on the 6th of August, and the main army was in motion for the capital, The question then comes, whether the Russian General, having so far overcome all resistance, would stop short of the goal of his master's am bition, when almost within sight of the towers of St. Sophia—or proceed—the more especially, as the SULTAN himself expressed a (prophetic) wish to have the conferences for peace at Con stantinople ? We think he would find excuses , because he possessed the power, for fixing his head-quarters in the capital. It is evidently with this view that a descent had been made at Inaida by the division which we presume left Sebastopol originally for Bourgas. The position of Inaida s only 80 miles from Constantinople—command ing the nearest, indeed the only, road along the coast to the forts of the Bosphorus—and we shall not be surprised to hear by the next accounts that the Russian fleet have landed another division at Phillen, which is about half way between Inaida and Constantinople—in order to facilitate the progress of the land force by keeping the Turkish troops in alarm, and dividing their force by perplexity and fear. The advance on the capital will thus be accomplished by two armies possessing the roads along the coast—Kirk-kilissa, and that diverging from Kirk-kilissa by Bourgas. Possessing all these advantages, and the complete command of the Black Sea—if General DIEBTTSCH refrain from grasping a prize so tempting, and almost within his reach, we think he will show more forbearance than usually falls to the lot of con querors in situations so captivating. He may. We think he will not : we arc sure we would not. German Papers have been received : they state that Wallachia is still suffering under the visitation of the plague, as also of some myriad flights of locusts. The Nurenzburg Corre spondent observes—" Letters from the frontiers of Italy, of the 19th of August, say that the opening of the free port of Venice is expected to take place on the Ist of October next. It may be conjectured that Venice will obtain a great share in the carrying trade to and from the Levant, which has hitherto passed through Trieste. This will be particularly the case with the trade in the Netherlands' woollen cloths, which since the Greeks have been reduced to poverty is almost wholly in the hands of the Armenians. Several ships of war are fitting out at Venice, probably to reinforce the Austrian squadron employed against Morocco."—The fol lowing are extracts : FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, Auc. 7.—A new scourge has, within these few days, threatened our province.— According to an official account from Fockschany, the district of Rimnik, and the country about Ibrailow, have suffered for the last week by the ravages of swarms of 10.. custs, which come from Moldavia, and gradually spread themselves towards the Danube. The President has issued the most urgent orders for the extirpation of this plague; and the Divan is enjoined to have them punctually exe cuted. Some days before the arrival of the locusts, the district of Rinanik was visited also by a dreadful hail storm, in which many cattle, and even some men, lost their lives. The plague, Which, as the weather grew warmer, made greater progress ' and, for a fortnight, car ried off between 40 and 50 .persons daily, has been less fatal for a few days past, the deaths being seldom more than five or six in a day. Nevertheless, the number of per sons infected, and of suspicious cases, is still very great. Measures have now been taken to preserve the hay in ma gazines. The two principalities are to have 48 magazines, in which provisions of all kinds are to be deposited. The Commissariat in Jassy has concluded with a merchant from the Buckowina, a contract for 30,000 chetwerts of oats and 5,000 chetwerts of flour ; and the Commissariat in Bucharest is said to have orders to send 70,000 chet werts of flour and oats from Moldavia and Wallachia to Tournoul, whence these supplies will be sent to their far ther destination. ODESSA, AUG. 10.-The Board of Health has enjoined all the inhabitants to confine themselves to their houses. Only the masters of families are allowed to go to the mar kets, each attended by a servant. On the same day notice was given, that in the village of Little Ku jalnik, near Yssatavy Khertova (a village previonsly infected) three persons bad died of the plague, and thnt in the same place there arc four other persons attacked by the disorder. This village, being out of the district already insulated, has been surrounded by a cor don of Cossacks. Though the sanitary state of the port continues to be satisfactory, it has nevertheless been re solved to send away the merchantmen that have been freighted by the crown. They are to go to other ports to take in their cargoes, as there is danger at Odessa under present circumstances. (Some Berlin papers say that Jussuf Paella resides at present in a beautiful country house, five wersts from Odessa, on the shore of the Black Sea, the same that was inhabited last year by her Majesty the Empress.) FRANKFORT, AUG. 29.—Our journals contain a no tice, dated 23d August, from Captain Moline, of London, commander of the Joseph and Anne, an English ship, in which he states that he shall shortly arrive at Cologne, where he will immediately take in a cargo for London. The Princess of Lowiez arrived here to-day. NUREMBURG, Auc. 28.—Letters from the frontiers of Italy, of the 19th August, say that the opening of the free port of Venice is expected to take place on the let of October next. It may be conjectured, that Venice will obtain a great share in the carrying trade to and from the Levant, which has hitherto passed through Trieste. This will be particularly the case with the trade in the Nether lands' woollen cloths which, since the Greeks have been reduced to poverty, is almost wholly in the hands of the Armenians Several ships of war are fitting out at Venice, probably to reinforce the Austrian squadron employed against Morocco. FRANKFORT, Auc. 25.—Our exchange has recovered from the alarm caused by the fall of the Russian funds in London at the latter end of last week. M. Anselm Von Rothschild, senior, chief of the house of that name in this city, is expected at the end of the week to return from his visit to Paris. It h said that the financial object ascribed to this journey has been found unattainable, as the French Ministry is now composed. We have a copy of the Baibadian of the 21st July. Mr. PRIEST, the Edicor of the Free Press, had been found guilty of a libel on the Chief Justice, and mulcted in the sum of 250/. The Bill sent down by the Board of Council to the House of Assembly of St. Kitt's, for the purpose of extending civil rights to the free black and coloured inhabitants, had been rejected. On Monday last a public dinner was given to Mr. O'CONNELL by the Friends of Civil and Religious Freedom at Cork. On this occasion the Hon. and Learned Member indulged his hearers with one of those characteristic speeches in which he contrives to ramble from subject to subject, from the Law to the Church, from the Church to the State, from the State to " things in general," with an ease, an assurance, a rapi dity, and a readiness known only to himself. If variety of knowledge, energy of purpose, and glibness of language could make the perfect Statesman, Mr. O'CONNELL would undoubt edly be the first man of his age. But there are other qualifications requisite to ensure so en viable a distinction ; such, for instance, as judg ment, discretion, the art of knowing how far to urge, and when to decline, pressing a favourite point, and in these Mr. O'CONNELL is deficient. His present hobby is a repeal of the Union. He is desirous, he says, to have a resident Parlia ment in Dublin, to the furtherance of which object he has promised to devote his undivided energies. We regret to see a man of Mr. O'CoNNELL's eminence wedded voluntarily to so Utopian a scheme. He cannot but perceive that it is contrary to general feeling, and that so far from pacifying Ireland, it would only have the effect of setting all parties by the ears together. It is not an independent Legis lature, which it would take years to consolidate and bring to bear usefully and efficiently on any one particular point, that Ireland wants. She does not stand in need of a separation:from the Sister Island, which would be attended with the grossest injustice to both countries ; she re quires only two things ; first, an alteration, gradual and temperate, of the laws at present ex isting, with regard to landlord and tenant; secondly, time to enable her to get over and profit by, the effects of the late political tornado. Perhaps, also, the present mode of a dministering her criminal code might be improved, for—to adopt Mr. O'CoNNELL's own words—" at the present Assizes, during the trial of a man for felony, the Judge on the Bench was asleep, an attorney was examining three witnesses at the same time, one of the Jury was reading, and three of them were c h eapen i ng p l u ms with a fruit-girl." These are the abuses that require correction - , these are the Augan stables that demand a thorough cleansing ! Turn the full river of your eloquence through these, Mr.O'CoN NELL ; let the stream visit every nook, cranny and loop-hole, and depend on it that by so doing-- by purifying your Courts of Justice—by assist ing in the endeavour to soothe the bitterness of party spirit, instead of exciting it by wild and ill-judged schemes of political regeneration — and above all, by placing on a rational footing the laws existing between the inflexible landlord and his impoverished tenant, you will confer more lasting benefits on Ireland, than if, like another PETER the Hermit, you were to preach a crusade through Europe in behalf of your country's independence. In his recent answer to the Quarterly Re view, Sir R. DONKIN has ably refuted the fallacies of the critic, and proved the correctness of his own inferences as regards the shores of the African Syrtis. The Reviewer has quoted the authority c.f the two BEECHEYS, to disprove the Gallant General's account of the state of those shores—whereas, on referring to the works of the travellers themselves, Sir RUFANE'S account is fully and satisfactorily borne out. This is only one out of many instances of blundering and misapprehension of facts which occur in the review (in the last Quarterly) of the Gallant General's work on the Niger, some of which we pointed out a few days since to our readerF, as a mere act of justice to all parties.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i 9 for the account, opened at the same price this morning, but owing to the various reports of naval preparations, and fleets going to the Mediterranean, being contra dicted by the evening and morning papers this morning, also the great probability of an approach ing peace between Russia and the Turks, the Con sol market has improved, and Consols are at present 89k and 88i for money. The Foreign market, to this hour, is not worth the least notice, as there is nothing doing. Most of our journals have been amusing the public with their surmises and speculations in regard to the journey of Mr. Rothschild to Paris, which we have good reason to suppose are without foundation. We can now state, on creditable information, that the above gentleman's visit to Paris is connected with a plan for the reduction of the interest of the Austrian debt. A Four per Cent. Loan, which Rothschild's house at Frankfort had concluded two years since with the Government at Vienna, under conditions that the loan was to be kept a secret until the peace between Russia and Turkey was concluded, will now soon be brought into the market, as the expectation of peace between the above two powers daily gains ground. Miramichi Papers to the 29th July, and Havan na!) to the 24th July, have been received at the North amt South American Coffee-house. The former Papers state that they have the pleasure to record the agreeable fact that two vessels, loaded with general cargoes, have sailed for the West Indies. It is stated from St. John's, 21st July, that the unfortunate condition of the Madawaska settlement excites there the greatest sympathy, and the public in general are not acquainted that it is occasioned by the failure of the wheat crops for the two last years, which is the standard food of these people. A pe tition from that settlement was presented to his Honour, the President, a short time ago, and ar rangements were instantly made for rendering them assistance. The Journal of Odessa states that orders have been issued to the inhabitants of the above town, to remain in their houses, and only fathers of families, attended by one servant, are permitted to go to market, owing to sever d persons having died with the plague; the Government Contractors were leav ing for some other port. Our arrivals this morning are very few, and not of any consequence. TWO O'CLOCK.

The Court assembled this morning at the usual hour, but sat with dosed doors until near ten o'clock, when we were admitted. It was thought yesterday that there would have been an early adjournment, until the defence was gone into, and it would have been so but for the unexpected arrival of Master King from Ireland, as also the strange turn which the proceedings took, by the production, by Captain Dickenson, of the original " Round Robin.' All the witnesses for the prosecution have been ermined. _ . _ The business commenced with the cross-examination of Captain Spencer. Cross-examined by Captain DtcximsoN—Did you say to me that the Vice-Admiral had authorised you to inform me, ti-at if I wrote a letter, requesting him to allow me to withdraw it, he would do so ? Captain SPENCER— After I had expressed to the Vice-Admiral what I con ceived your feelings of regret, for having delivered to him such a letter, I believe, as I said before, that he autho rised me to wait upon you and say that he would receive that apology. Captain DICKENSON—Did the Vice-Admiral say to you that I must write a letter "on service" to him, before he would consent to give up that letter and receive my apology ?—Captain SPENCER—I cannot recollect that. Captain DICKENSON—Did Sir Edward Codrington then inform you that he had received such a letter from me on service, requesting to withdraw the former letter ? Captain SPENCER—I do not think he ever did. Captain DICKENSON—Did I ever inform you that I had written such a letter ?—Capt. Srartc ER—I don't recollect. Captain DICKENSON—DO you remember one day, whilst we were on shore at Malta, being with Captain An son in the street, and meeting me, when I told you that I had the pleasing satisfaction to say that Sir Edward Co drington had given up the letter to me, and that all was settled; on which you answered, th it you were very glad to hear' it.—Captain SPENCER—It 15 very possible that may have happened, but I cannot swear that I recollect it. I have no doubt I should have expressed my satisfaction upon the occasion. Captain DICKENSON-...-Is it your impression that I in formed you at any other time of the above circumstances ? —Captain SPENCER- —I dare say you did. When lam called on to say whether you did or did not, at this dis tance of time, I cannot undertake to swear. Captain DICKENSON—Did Sir Edward Codrington, when at Malta, or at any subsequent time, intimate to you his suspicion that the letter in question was not the pro duction of the petty officers and the seamen of the Genoa? Captain SPENCER-. 4 have heard him intimate such a sus picion since the transaction took place, but I cannot say at what place ; with respect to its being at Malta I cannot say, but Ile has done so since we have met in England I can say positively. Captain DICKENSON—IS the letter I now hand you the one which was showed you? Captain SPENCER—I will not undertake to swear that it is the letter, but it has the purport, and as far as I can remember much the appear ance of it. Captain Dickenson then handed in the original "round robin." The ADVOCATE-GENERAL expressed his surprise at his producing it, and said that he had served a notice on them to produce it, but he understood that it had been destroy ed. Its production now saved him the trouble of giving further parole evidence as to its substance. Captain DICKENSON said that it would have been de stroyed only for certain reports he had heard. The following was then read : " His Majesty's ship Genoa, at sea, Oct. 31, 1829. " The humble petition to your Honour of the petty offi cers, seamen, and marines, of his Majesty's ship the Genoa. With gratitude they thank your Honour for the able man ner in which you led the fleet into action, most heroically supported us in it, and hope your Honour will long live to enjoy the merited rewards of your brave conduct. Your petitioners beg leave, with all humility, before they leave the station, to express to your Honour their feelings of deep regret at the loss of their lamented Commander,whom they ever found a father and a friend ; an'l your peti tioners, with ail humility, beg leave to express their joy at finding the loss supplied by their present worthy Com - - mander. They had before found him, as an officer, active and able in the execution of his duty, as well as gentle manly in command ; but they now found him in the mo, ment of danger a leader under whom they should never fear any enemy. We therefore humbly solicit your Ho nour to represent these feelings to the Lord High Admi ral ; and your petitioners hope that your Honour will per mit Captain Dickenson to take the ship home as Captain, in the event of her going to England. " We are, Honoured Sir, " Your most obedient and humble servants, " THE CREW OF THE SHIP GENOA. " To Vice-Admiral Codrington, K.C.B. " Commander in the Mediterranean." Captain Spencer was then examined as to the sth and 6th charges. JUDGE-ADVOCATE-State to the Court all the circum stances which have mine to your knowledge relative to the sth charge (the list of the killed and wounded handed to him.) He stated he knew nothing whatsoever of the sth. He was then examined as. to, the 6th, as to the slackness of the Genoa on her way to Malta. Ile was also ignorant upon this. He was so occupied by attending to the affairs of his own ship, that be made no observation on others. Captain DICKENSON-Do you remember, at Malta, after the occurrence of the letter, meeting me at the Vice• A dmiral's table? Captain SraNcrn—Yes, I think I do. Captain DICKENSON-Did the Turkish vessels at Nava rin strike their colours, or in what way did they show their submission ? Captain SPENCER—The two vessels that came immediately under my close observation, did strike their colours, one to the Amide French ship, and the other of her own accord hoisted English colours, after pulling down the Turkish. Captain DICKENSON-Did you see the explosion of the frigate, which, when burning, endangered the Asia ? Captain SPENCER-No, I did not. Captain DICKENSON-Did you see the Genoa firing after other ships had ceased ? Captain SPENCER—No,'I did not. Captain DicicslrsTi—Hid you any orders to prepare to go to sea the eYening of the battle ? Captain SrENcEs. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was now recalled. JUDGE-ADVOCATE—Is the letter now produced the letter you received from Captain Dickenson ? Sir E. CODRINGTON—I cannot positively swear to it ; but I am satisfied in my mind that it is. If it is so, lam wrong as to the time and place, because we were out of Nava rin the 31st Oct. Ido not believe that the document in question originated with Captain Dickenson, or the ship's company. I have formed that opinion since yesterday, in consequence of certain circumstances coming to my knowledge; and I think if Mr. Andrews, the Purser of the Genoa, was examined, he would elicit much with re gard to it. Sir H. BLacswooo—Why did you consider that letter written on his Majesty's service to be in the nature of a " round-robin." Sir E. CODRINGTON—I had meditated but not actually appointed some other person to the com mand of the Genoa. I consider that appointment to be publicly known, and that the letter in question was in tended to induce me to alter that appointment in favour of Captain Dickenson, and substitute the desire of other per sons to that of me. Sir HENRY BLAcirwoon—Did you consider the offence of that grave nature as to require a more serious inquiry? Sir E. CODRINGTON—Yes ; if I had not thought that it was best for his Majesty's service to avoid such an exposure. Admiral OTWAT—At what period after you rec,ived that letter, and how soon did you reprimand Captain Dickenson for producing it? Sir E. ConaiNcToti—l cannot possibly say how long it was after, because the very production of the letter itself, and of my conviction of its being genuine, has thrown a doubt on my memory as to time. I have no doubt of it having been the first time of my seeing him subsequent to his return. Admiral OTWAT—Did you call him on board b y s i gna l or otherwise on your being acquainted with it s contents. Sir E. CODRINGTON—I am not quite sure that I called him on board in any way, either b y signal or oth erw i se. I am inclined to think that his coming to me was the result of advice given to him by those who had seen t h e l etter, an d formed the same opin i o n of it that I had. Sir HENRY Ihacicroon expressed his surprise that Admiral C o drington did not send for Captain Dickenson rather than chose the agency of a third party. Sir E. ConitmuTox replied, that he did intend to have done so ; and as a proof of it, h a d s k etc h e d out t h e answer to the letter inquestion, and w hi c h h e mean t as an offici a l communication. Captain SCHOMBERG--ilow long after you received this letter were you pleased to accept of the apology which you received from Captain Dickenson P Sir E. CODRING. Tos—As I have endeavoured to state in the preceding evi' dence, I do not know. Captain Ewor —Have you received any other letter from the ships of the squadron? Sir E. CODRINGTON•"; Considering poetical effusions under that head, I believe received one from almost every ship in the fleet, or I be' lieve every man. Captain Goanort—After having reprimanded Captait* Dickenson for the letter in question, did you state that yell . had no intention of taking further notice of his conductr. Sir E. CODRINGTON—I doubt my having stated so; give l.im up all the means I had of establishing the cow- . plaint of the letter now produced in Court, and I cer tainly had no intention of taking any further official notice' of any part of his conduct. By Captain DICKENSON—Do you now remember that 1 wrote you a letter on service, requesting of you to allow me to withdraw the letter in question, and which was corny to you by Captain Baynes? Sir E. CODRINGTON—I haVe not the least recollection of any such thing : I by no mean* me :n to say that it was not so, but I have no recollection of The ADVOCATE-GENERAL then said that Master Kingr late of the Albion, bad arrived from Ireland, and he wool' n nv produce him. W. J. KING, a n hive of Gibraltar, and late a second-. master on hoard the Albion—He stated that he was on the . forecastle of the Albion during the action, and he recollects grape-,hot coming from the direction of the Genoa. His evidence was chiefly corroborative of Master White's, which is already before the public. PRESIDENT-What was the effect of the grape-shot which you described as coming from the direction of the Genoa? Master KING—It shattered the larboard head and hamtnegk netting on that side. PRESIDENT-How often did you observe shot to come from that direction? Master KlNG—Several times pre vious to the hoisting of the ensign. PRESIDENT-Was it upon the larboard side? Master' KING--They appeared to come from the starboard aide 011 the Genoa. PRESIDENT—In what direction did the Albion lay witfl regard to the Genoa ? Master KING—We were before O f Genoa's beam. PRESIDENT—What was tbe situation of the Genoa with regard to her opponent ? Master Kurc.4-Her oppo nent was on the starboard side of her (this is' #he point which seems to be most in dispute. Sir EdWznid• Co ington and others say that the Genoa had her tit - ma-we wards her opponent.) PRESIDENT—At what ship in the enemy's lines were the Albion's guns directed? Master Kista—The Turkish+ Admiral, then the opponent of the Asia. PRESIDENT—Do you recollect that you trained thaw guns so as to go astern of the Genoa? Master KING--I• had no- occasion to train those guns, they were rather pointed before the beam. PRASIDENT— Was it before the Albion got clear of the ship on fire that the shot came from the direction of the Genoa? Master KING—I think it was when she was foul of us. PRESIDENT-Was your attention so much occupied with the ship on fire as to prevent your being certain of whether shot had come from the.aGenoa ? Master Kilo; —Perh3ps at that moment it was. Capt. SCIIO3IBERG-Was there any other vessel in the direction of the Genoa from whom you might have re— ceived the grape shot you describe? Master KING—I aur not quite certain but the Genoa's opponent might have fired from her stern guns. I had once a glimpse of her, and think it probable she might. Admiral OTWAY-Was any person hurt at your quarters by the shot which struck the head door ? Master KING None. Capt. ELLIOT—Do you speak positively that grape-shot from the Genoa struck the Albion? Master KING—No , only my belief. Capt. ELLIOT-Did you ever fire at the Genoa's o r ponent ? Master KING—I think not. If we did it was' in the latter part of the action. PRESIDENT-Did you ever see the Genoa distinctly? Master KING—I did, towards the latter part of the actions when the smoke cleared away. Capt. ELLIOT-Where there any of her guns pointed in the direction of the Albion? Master KING—I cannot say whether or not. Capt. ELLIOT—Do you feel confident that the grape could come from the Genoa's starboard bow ? Muter KING—I think it possible that it might. Capt. ELLIOT—Was it your own impression at the time the grape shot came from the Genoa 4—Master KING—It was my impression at the time. Capt. ELLIOT—Did you see the Asia during the action ?—Master KING—I did, the Genoa was to the 4 0 ' of her in a line drawn from the _Albion to the Asia. PaESIDENT—Did yottever - d - cltin;lysee the Genoa's opponent. Master KING-4 cannot say that I ever did sce her distinctly during the action, we were 2i cable . length from her. Cross-examined by Captain Dtc KENsole—Were there any English grape or large shot found in the hull or the masts of the Albion?—Master KING : Ido not know- Captain DICKENSON—Were you on the forecastle wiles Captain Campbell came forward and stood on the head — grating to view the direction of the Genoa's fire?—blast er KING : I saw Captain Campbell on the forecastle, near the head-grating. Captain DICKENSON—Do you know at what time Capt. Campbell made any observations respecting the Genoa's fire?--Master KING: I do not. Mr. Join Jot-m _ow, late gunner of the Albion, n" 18 called to explain why the powder books were not signed by Captain Onunaney, which he did. To a question from Captain DICKENSON, M tO 1 1011 ' long the Albion was engaged with both her broadsides ? his reply was half an hour.—To the same question to Master King, the answer was, an hour and a half. The ADVOCATE-GENERAL said that he was instructed by the Admir thy to say, that they were ready to give any papers which were asked for, that could elucidate the charges under inquiry. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was then called, and aske j were there any other papers Which he required to elucidate the charges. Sir E. CODRINGTON denied that they were his charg e : He was called on by the Admiralty to make a staterne%' which he did by letter; and it was those letters 1 411 " -- were made the ground of charges. In writing those les tars, he had done it at the representation of the Admiral:)', as his duty ; yet at the same time be was most ADEiOl ll l ° . have avoid e d the pres e nt proceeding. However, P j . „, - Admiralty thought otherwise, and therefore he 'gr. anxious to submit to the Court other letters, which ' thought would elucidate the charges, though they ee r : A tainly did not strictly bear upon them, yet they won"' show how they originated. When he was asked were the, r , e , any other papers necessary to elucidate the charges '- would say there was. But there were certain papers be cessary to elucidate a part of the correspondence, which :„ e held in his band, and though that part did not refer those charges, yet they in a manner rose from it. Howe Yer u i he should not require them to read that p a rt, b u t be We' select that part of the correspondence which would ininf diately refer to the charges, or rather say hi s l e tters. T he onus of proving the truth of them was thrown on bit e ' which he would have done, but to do so it required three most material witnesses, one of whom was at Bermu des another in the West Indies, and the third in the Mediter" ranean. He was asked by the Admiralty, could he go saf e to trial without them? He said that it was not his trial, on the contrary, he was entirely averse to the proceeding' The JUDGE-ADVOCATE—Did we not offer to send fe r those witnesses? Sir E. Coontwatow—lt is perfee t 'l true that you did ; but, as I said before, that it was o°. my trial but yours. A long desultory conversatio n now took place, wh ieb i time will not permit us t o g i ve , as t o w h e th er that part ° the correspondence which would go to elucidate the charge s was to he read, when the Court was ordered to be cleared' and after half an hour's deliberation, the opinion of w e Court was, that such letters could not be read. Mr. Awnertws, the purser, was then called, and ask, as to what he knew of the round-robin, when he depor: as follows :—To the best of my knowledge that letter is th one which the crew of the Genoa sent to the Adroirt On the 4th of November, 1827, Captain Dickenson t e me the ship's company had requested him to P re k i to sent it to the Admiral ; after I had read it I Captain Dickenson that if I was in his situatio n should not forward it. Captain Dickenson nba er l s , to me, that he was given to understand if he did not do it they would themselves. I told biro tn a I did not like the latter part of it. Captain Dickenef.} said he was fearful that the Admiral would be displen aeu a l , it came from any body but himself. Subsequently lon on hcaid the Asia at Malta, and I saw Captain Curzon ;a the quarter-deck. He said to me, " Andrews, Car' s , Dickenson has got himself into trouble." I told him s pa sorry for it, and that it was done against my wish. n tain Curzon said lie thought that if Captain Diel'e n :l" o would write another letter to the Admiral, requesting i:on to allow him to withdraw it, he would. I re turneL la board the Genoa, and saw Captain Dickenson, and him what had occurred between Captain Curzon a nd In i l e He said lie would go and consult Commissioner 11 01 ' went, and upon his return he told me that he had seen ` Commissioner and Captains Ommancy and Spe ncer, an' : they wished him to write a letter asking permission draw out a sketch of one ; I did s o with his assistance; , r e quested that. I woe copied it, and took it with hin t to deliver it. I short ''' withdraw it at the same time he
