FIGHTING WITH THE BAYONET. The small village of Fuentos de Nava, was the spot where our forces were concentrated. On the day following our arrival, Massena, having crossed the river Agueda, and taken up his position at no great distance from the same village, gave every indication of his intention to dispute the possession of it. Towards the after noon, he commenced carrying his views into ex ecution ; and, having made a vigorous attack upon it, which produced a smart engagement, he succeeded in the attainment of his desired object. Be had not, however, long time to calculate upon the advantage resulting from his capture ; for, before the dusky evening appeared, he was driven out of it in as gallant a style as he could wish. In the undisputed possession of this vil lage we remained that night. The ensuing morning was spent in manceuvering, but the next was a day of conflict and of death. Shortly after both armies had taken up their respective positions, our flank companies being sent out to the front of the lines, commenced skirmishing, but were soon forced to give ground, owing to the French columns advancing so rapidly and heavily upon them. The lines now advanced. Our regiment was opposed to the Bth of Bona parte's imperial guards, upwards of 1500 strong. We gave them four successive volleys, and then closed upon them with the bayonet. Dreadfully destructive was this unsheathed weapon, and never was it more nimbly handled in a field of battle than at this time. They fell in heap be fore it. Never can any pen pourtray the hor rors of such a scene. Pressing forward, and presenting the purple steel to those that re mained, we trampled upon the dead, the dying, and the wounded, alike unheeded and unheard. The remains of this apparently formidable corps, amounting to 400, terrified at the awful slaughter which our bayonets had occasioned, turned about and fled with precipitation. We were not long, however, without an enemy. A body of fresh troops, seemingly as superior in number as the former, wheeled in with astonishing rapidity, and filled up the vacuum. To charge these troops, our colonel, after a brief, but animating address, put spurs to his horse, and waving his hat, led us on. Never will the appearance he had at this time be eradicated from my mind ;—his bright sparkling eyes, which manifested the cou rage of his breast ;—his martial aspect, delightful to gaze at, and the tone in which he uttered his address, all showed that he was a true warrior ; hut, alas ! it was the last time he was ever to head us on the battle field, or inspire us with his words. As we advanced to the charge, the enemy commenced a discharge of musketry ; at this in stant I saw the reins drop from his hands, and in the next, he tumbled to the ground. By the faithful zeal of those that ran to afford him as sistance, he was speedily borne from the field. He survived only a few days. His death was lamented by every one under his command. When we came to the charge with the bayonet, the person with whom I had to encounter in this trying and dreadful moment, exhibited rather an athletic appearance. With infuriated looks he assailed me, and thrust the point of his bayonet into my chin ; but by a sudden retrogression, I got rid of it. Without losing one moment's opportunity, I rushed on him, and putting by his musket, which he still presented in as ele vated a position as formerly, I buried my bayonet in his breast. I speedily extricated my steel; lie fell, and was numbered among the slain. Ti;ough our charge was again successful, yet the battle continued to rage in this place as hot and sanguinary as ever, from the heavy co lumns of infantry that kept pouring in upon us. We had not received any orders to retire, nor had any regiment come to our support. Our ranks were getting very thin. We had two cap tains killed, and all our ensigns fell in this battle. Major of the 42d, came and took the commanti of our distressed regiment. He saw that a mournful duty had devolved upon him, but with a countenance that bespoke intrepidity, and lively hopes of success, he addressed us as follows t—" Men of the 70th ! The honour of commanding and leading you into action, has this day ,seen conferred on me. You have al ready achieved many things by your gallantry , and I hope that your brave exertions, in what yet remains to be accomplished, will in the end be crowned with glorious success. Let us then meet the enemy, my brave fellows ! and may the Lord protect and bless us !" At the conclusion of this animating address we again joined in combat. My comrade at this time received a shot through the body. He lingered a few hours until his spirit emancipated from its earthly tenement, winged its way to the throne of the Creator who gave it existence. Bullets were flying like hailstones, and on every hand of me various persons were dropping off the stage of acne, into the boundless ocean of eternity, w hile . 1` alone remained as scaithless and unin jured as if it had only been a dream that arrested m y m id n i g h,+. slumbers. Being thus so hotly engaged in re,nelling the almost overwhelming, numbers of the ene,7lY, the 88th, or Connaught Rangers, were sent to our assistance. As they were just descending lion: a rising ground m- mediately behind us, they &ea .`` voile over our heads. This was a most terrible dischargeles of musketry, and in its effects it was awfw;: . ," tructive. The French column, which seemed threaten us with instant annihilation, wavered, and before it had time to recoil, another salute served to complete its: confusion. The havoc which was now made among the troops was dreadful. It was in vain that they showed re sistance ; they were completely repulsed on every band, and driven from the field. Massena in this desperate attempt to relieve .Almeida, (which, being the only fortified town that the French were now in possession of at this time, was closely invested by a body of our troops, under the command of Sir Brevet Spen cer), lost upwards of 6,000 men. When our regiment was mustered, it was found to have lost 2 captains, 17 other officers killed and wounded, and 370 privates. Many of these were indivi duals with whom I lived on the most intimate footing of friendship ; their loss was deeply de plored. They had fallen far from their country, and perchance had left a solitary widow, an aged mother, or a plighted sweetheart, who, in the effusion of their tender affections, would often drop to their memory the tribute of a tear! —Eadie s Recollections.

PARIS, AUG. 25.—Despatches, received by the Minister of Marine, bring word that the English fleet, commanded by Admiral Malcolm, was still at Ipsara on the 9th of August. The French fleet was on the 7th at Tenedos. The object of the two Admirals appeared to be to protect indirectly the arrival of the Egyptian fleet as far as Smyrna. This fleet had already passed Rhodes, and was steering along the coast, in order to avoid meeting the Rus sian Admiral. According to the preparations mak ing by the Governor of Odessa, it should seem that the Emperor Nicholas has the intention to come to that town at the end of the summer, which seems the more probable, as his presence may be necessary' in the great drama which is drawing to a close, and for the interests which will soon be discussed at Constantinople. _ M. Deval, our Consul at Algiers, in whose per son France was insulted by the Dey, has just died very suddenly. He was struck with a violent atack of apoplexy, just as he was about to enter his carriage at Villiers le Bel to return to Paris, and all the efforts of art were unavailing. He had been dining at the country-house of M. Martel, the Judge of the Tribunal of First Instance, and had just left it. M. Deval was 72 years old. M. d'llaussez wrote to M. Roy just before he was appointed Minister of Marine, " that he con gratulated himself at not forming part of the new Ministry, whose unpopularity appeared to him so great that he doubted its duration." M. Roy showed the letter to several persons when the report of the nomination of M. d'HausFez was circulated. We this morning received the Gazette d'Etat de Prusse of the 20th, and that of Augsburg of the 22d, but they contain no news from Constantinople or from the Russian army. The new Cabinet regards the re-establishment of the Ministry of General Police as necessary, and this place is promised to M. de Vitrolles, but the measures will not be carried into execution imme diately. Destructions and creations are operated gradually, one by one, and in silence. It is preserved that as the Duke of Mortemart does not wish to retain the Russian embassy, it will he given to Count Gabriac, the nephew of Prince Polignac by his wife, who was born in Russia, and was named Davidoff. VIENNA, AUGUST 14.—The French Ambas sador has received despatches by an extraor dinary courier, which are thought to be impor tant, as he went to Prince Metternich's a few minutes afterwards. A report was afterwards cir culated that France had suddenly changed its Mi- nistrv, and that the choice of the new Cabinet was entirely favourable to the policy of M. de Metter nich. Nothing positive is yet known. The English Ambassador receives despatches every day, and every day also he sends a courier to Constantinople and London. There is certainly some great project on the tapis. A curious report, or rather a piece of news, is se cretly circulated in the diplomatic saloons, that there has been a complete tack-about in the policy of our Cabinet. The Prince de Metternich, it is said, is discontented with the Duke of Wellington, and at present inclines towards Russia. The late success of the Russians is not the only cause of this change. It is said that the Prince has discovered an intrigue, conducted by an English Ambassador, and tending to bring about a double alliance —one, in the case that Austria should consent to declare against Rus sia; and the other, in the event that this Power should desire to preserve neutrality, or should show herself favourable to the Russians. This duplicity has irritated Prince Metternich, the more particu larly as the Duke of Wellington having considered that Austria was sufficiently powerful, the two pro jects were arranged so as to deceive Austria in its hopes of obtaining an indemnity when the time should arrive for regulating and fixing the new bases of the equilibrium of European policy. These revelations were made by a confidant of the Cabinet of St. James's, who is said to be either a Swede or a Prussian. By various insinuations the Duke of Wellington has endeavoured to establish a preponderance in France, to the exclusion of every other Power. It is said also that the Cabinet of St. James's was in triguing at the same time at Stockholm, Brussels, Turin, and Naples, and that it was every where makinti: propositions without the knowledge of Austria, as having nothing to do with the present question. The Prince de Metternich, when informed of these proceedings, said," Oh ! the pupil wishes to catch his master; we shall see who will have the last laugh." (From the Journal des Debuts.) What a singular campaign is that of this year of Lord Wellington ; and how paltry does his diplo matic science (strategic) appear in the face of the prodigious events which display themselves in the east. Whilst Russia enfolds with her two arms European Turkey and Asia Minor, and its two armies, marching towards each other, draw close the net which is to fall upon Constantinople, Lord Wel lington has put in motion a detachment of five men, including the French Ambassador, who have by surprise taken possession of the French ministry in a moment of court intrigue and parliamentary inactivity. Well, behold them established; they have male their entry, and hissings and public ridi cule have not been wanting to mark their triumphal march. What will they be able to do in the princi pal object which has caused them to be chosen ? Will they stop General Diebitsch, who travels more rapidly than their couriers ? Will they send under English orders a French fleet to the Bosphorus to protect Constantinople whilst still Mussulman, or to bombard it when it is become Christian ? Alas! these are poor creatures for such efforts. The ac cession of these men was the tardy signal of a sterile hatred towards Russia. In this respect, how ever, was there ever seen greater political want of address ? The last Ministry, the incomplete but natural result of a Representative Government, had aiopted the Muscovite alliance. It felt that France ought to ally itself to Russia, as England does to Austria. It was not terrified at seeing Russia turn from our west, and incline towards Asia. It judged correctly that this tendency of the people of the wort..'.' Uswaids the south would end in a Russian invasion of Turkey, without producing any danger to the freedom of Europe. In the pro bable overthrow of the Ottoman power, it fore saw from France other interests than those of Eng land; and with a little more strength it could put it self in theway of claiming just advantages at the de cisive moment. At the solicitations of Russia, and barely tolerated with anger by England, it sent an expedition to the Morea. During the indecision and the partial successes of the first campaign on the Danube, it continued to adhere to the Russian po licy, although it was attacked daily by the organs of the English Ministry. The retreat of M. de la Fer ronays had in this respect weakened our Cabinet, without changing its direction. In the meantime a second campaign commenced in the East : the Turkish empire, which had resisted at first, is now at the last gasp of its energy. The conquerors have nothing to do but to march forward ; the rich plains of Adrianople arc open to their army. The empire is about to be dissolved by revolt and conquest. — Greece gave the signal—Russia will complete the work. Such is the moment chosen by the French Cabinet to secede from the Russian cause, for which France had prepared success, and to associate itself with the useless discontent of England. The time of diplomatic notes is now past. We must have more now—large fleets and armies ; and all this without being able to restore to the Turkish empire I the force which it had in the days of Soliman the Second. That which England, notwithstanding an imperious necessity of policy and honour, date not attempt, and which we are still less able than her to undertake, whilst it is also opposed to our interest, would be necessary—a terrible and bloody war Against Russia. (From the Gazette de France.) " The present Ministry," says the Journal de Debuts of this morning, " must contend against public opinion, and it must also contend against the Chamber, for it will not dare to dissolve it." This is what all the hopes of those who say that a Royalist Ministry will not last are founded upon ; Out we must reduce these hopes and bravados to their just value. The Ministry has not to contend against opinion, but against journalism, which has succeeded in creating a fictitious opinion in France, but which is not itself the opinion of France. We must believe that France will not condemn a Ministry without trial. She waits for its acts, and its acts will be the condemnation of its turbulent accusers. An opinion pronounced against Ministers, for the sole reason that they were chosen by the King without the consent of the journalists, would be a faction, and the contest which would arise between it and he Ministry would not last long in a country which :oes not desire a revolution. It is equally incorrect to say that the Ministry will have to contend against the Chamber. No doubt it will find violent adversaries there; for, un fortunately, it contains men who write in the Jour nals the extravagancies which they repeat in the tribune. A Royalist Ministry must expect to find enemies wherever the republic has partizans, and wherever there are conspirators against the mo narchy ; but from this we must not imagine that the Ministers named by the King would not be in their proper places when sitting in the Chamber; on the contrary, the republicans, the conspirators, and the anarchist tribunes, are out of their element when sitting in a French assembly. If these Ministers have adversaries, they will also have sincere friends and loyal defenders. All those who desire the maintenance of the constitutional Monarchy will know how to answer the noble appeal which will be made to them; and we are glad to be able to tell the Journal des Debats, that the mem who, in the secret scrutiny voted in a manner opposed to their open declarations, will see in the Ministers libera tors who, so far from trembling before the mountain of the left, will know how to oppose its enterprises, and to watch over its plots. Already several of those honourable Deputies who do not themselves belong to the journalist party have openly said that they are ready to support the Ministry, if they see it realize the monarchical and constitutional inten tions of which our paper has been the interpreter. As to the threat held out to the Ministry about the dissolution of the Chamber, it proves that the faction believes it has consummated the slavery of the electoral colleges, and that it has succeeded in depriving royalty of the exercise of one of its most important prerogatives. This threat alone would suffice to show us how much the Constitution was menaced by the concessions which have been made, and the encroachments of a secret power. We see also in this belief of the Liberals the secret of the arrogance and the fury which burst from the jour nals when the King took the liberty of disappoint ing them. They think themselves master of the last recourse of power—the nomination of the De puties, and consequently of the vote of the taxes. But this is one of those blind presumptions which the general interest will disappoint. It will teach the factions that they cannot juggle with a monarchy ; that all petty intrigues and all political factions may produce disorder, if they have to do with Ministers who are weak and have no foresight, but the con quests obtained by cunning, and the posts surprised by hypocrisy and 'deceit, cannot be preserved where France and her King have recognised their real enemies. he Memorial des Pyrenees of the 20th of Aug. says that M. de Chateaubriand arrived the day pre vious at Pau. He visited a part of the town, and viewed the chateau of Henry IV. At nine o'clock the Noble Peer was surrounded by the musicians of the town. M. de Chateaubriand appeared at one of the windows to return an answer, and was received with the greatest acclamations; he then addressed the following words to them : " Gentlemen,—l am extremely sensible of the honour you have done me. I only acknowledge the merit of loving my country. It is natural that the town where Henry IV. was born should be good enough to remember my devotion to the descendants of that illustrious King." The Noble Peer conversed with several persons in the most affable manner, and having occasion to speak of one of our compatriots, M. de Belloc, Secretary to the Legation at Rome, said he was a very distinguished person. The Indicateaur de Bourdeax of the 22d of Aug. says—" It appears that some important news was sent by the telegraph yesterday, but the Prefect was in the country, and the greatest anxiety was mani fested to inform him of the subject; we are igno rant of the contents." By an ordinance dated Aug. 23, the Viscount de Curzay, Prefect of the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, is appointed prefect of the department of La Gi ronde, in the room of the Baron d'Haussez, ap pointed to execute other functions. By another ordinance of the 24th, M. Jordan, Prefect of the department of the Haut Rhin, is appointed prefect of th e department of Ille-et-Vi laine, in the room of Viscount de Curzay. M. Baron Locard, formerly Prefect, Master of Requests in our Council of State, is appointed Pre fect of the department of Haut Rhin, in the room of M. Jordan. Yesterday the Minister of Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs received the Members of the various establishments for public instruction of the Academy of Paris, and his Excellency assured the functionaries and professors of the University of the lively interest he felt towards them. He also ex pressed the wish he felt to contribute to the progress of their studies, to the good instruction of youth, and the welfare of the professors. The Gazette gives, under the head of " Errata, or the journals' lies of the day," the following extracts from the other papers : " Three millions of francs were offered to the Dey of Algiers ; he refused ten millions. " The fleets of France and England have passed the Dardanelles to take up a position under the walls of the Seraglio."

IKEY SOLOMONS.— The notorious IKEY SOLOMONS, who has been daily expected in consequence of the very unquestionable information contained in the statement of a late visitor to the part of the world in which the great receiver is now a resident, is, it appears, carrying on, without the slightest molestation, the busi ness of a jeweller its Hobart's-town. Captain HENEKER, of the Mermaid sloop, which trades to Hobart's-town, has just arrived in town, and he had seen IKEY and his wife and family in very comfortable circumstances, and apparently living without reproach. Every thing about 'KEY was in such a state as to prove that he had taken off a heavy swag with him from this country. His wife joined him soon after her arrival at Sydney, and th e i r t wo sons, who went out volunta ril y to join them, were taken by the Captain from Sydney to their place of r es id ence . The Governor, as soon as be ascertained that IKEY was within his jurisdiction , w rote over to Gover nment to be informed as to the cour se he should pursue; but, what ever might have been the instructions issued, it is very certain that no compulsory or disagreeable measures have been resorted to with respect to the fugitive. IKEY car ried on business in his own hoe, and with out any at tempt at disguise; and it 13 believed that be will not be disturbed. FKICES OF STOCKS THIS dank Stock ref . Cent. Red.

An Express has just arrived at the North and South American Coffee-house, which brings the following important information :—" Che valier Don ANTONIO DE MELLO, Aide-de-Camp to General VILLA FLOR, Governor of Terceira, arrived yesterday at Exeter, from whence he pro ceeded to Portsmouth with despatches to the Marquis PA L/SIRLLA, announcing the complete defeat of the army of Don MIGUEL, which landed at Terceira on the 11th inst. The invading army lost 1,200 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Amongst the killed is the General second in command of the Miguelite army." The French Papers contain little further intelligence of moment from the East. The Messager des Chambres, in an article dated Vienna, says that the English Ambassador re ceives despatches every day, and every day also sends a courier to Constantinople and London, whence it plausibly enough deduces that some great project is on the tapis. The Journal des Debats enters into a sort of analytical detail of the proceedings of the late French Ministry, penned in a tone of hostility towards the new Administration, which is characterized as being a detachment of five men, including the French Minister, who have been put in motion by Lord WELLINGTON, and have taken possession of the French Ministry in a moment,of Court intrigue and Parliamentary ac- tivity." With regard to affairs in the East, the same Journal observes, " The empire (Turkey) is about to be dissolved by revolt and conquest ; Greece gave the signal, Russia will complete the work." Certainly appearances just at pre sent are in favour of this hypothesis ; but, ne vertheless,'we can scarcely reconcile ourselves to the idea of a large, populous, and enthusiastic nation falling suddenly, irrecoverably, and almost without a struggle. The thing appears prepos terous, and contrary to what Philosopher Square would call " the fitness of things." A few days, however, will suffice to explain away all that is at present mysterious and unintelligible in the mat ter. Meantime we cannot but think that treachery, and that to no small extent, has been at work to palsy the efforts of the Sublime Porte. Advices from Cronstadt state that no less than fifty vessels had been taken up to convey stores to the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean. Of these it is said that twenty are English and the remainder foreign. The letters from Stockholm affirm that the Assembly of Nobles had come to a resolution that their sittings should be public. The seizure of arms throughout Tipperary has, w e regret to learal, become quite general. The re cent acquittals of the Policemen concerned in the a ffair at Borris-o'-kan e have enraged the peasantry to a degree bordering on desperation ; in short, our latest intelligence from that quarter states that there is no schem e of disorder, or even bloodshed, for which they are not fully ripe. The most desperate efforts are every day made to pro cure g uns, pistols, and o t h er i mp l ements of de struction, and to such a degree of violence have the infatuated peasantry already pi oceeded, that a short time since a party of them attacked, in d a y-light, one o f t h e C oroners for the broad cou nty, and beat him so d rea df u ll y that he now lies i„ a m ost depl ora bl e con di tion, hovering be tween life and death. In consequence of these and other disturbances, which are of daily, we might almost add, hourly occurrence, the Ma gistrates of Clonmell have very wisely come to the resolution of callin g upon Govern ment to appoint two Stipendiary Magistrates for t h e county. Nothing short of some such precau tion, comm enced and foll owe d up w i th promptness and determination, can p oss ibl y preserve t h e p e ace of the South of Irel an d, to w hi c h Tip perary forms a sort of rallying point, or nucleus of disaffection. But it is not the mere appoint ment of Stipendiary Magistrates, or the increase of an English military force, that can keep Ire land tranquil ; the remedy must be of a deeper, a more enlarged, a more comprehensive charac ter. It must originate with the Bench, and thence proceed downwards, through all the in ferior departments of the law. We must no longer have an ermined official pronouncing ora cularly from the judgment seat, his opinion of the legality and justifiable nature of those party processions, which for years, have been the bane of Ireland. We are led to these remarks from the circumstance of our having learned, that another Judge—whose conduct, in other respects, has given very general satisfaction on the circuit —has thought it fit and becoming in him to de clare " Orange processions legal." As a lawyer he may, perhaps, have fancied him self justified in coming to such a con clusion, but as a man, as an acute observer of, and reasoner on, passing events, he cannot but have perceived long since that the annual pro cessions of the Brunswickers are, beyond all other nuisances, precisely those best calculated to keep alive an unnatural sectarian spirit. It will never be well with Ireland till these dis- auctions of caste are forgotten, till the Orange man has learnt to lay aside his bigotry, the Papist his prejudice, and until both parties agree to meet each other publicly and in private, on terms of a more equal and social fellowship than at present.

TWO O'CLOCK. Consols are heavy, and have receded since the early part of the morning, when they were at 891 for the Account, since which they have been sellers at SO, and for Money 88-14; at present they may be quoted, 89 buyers for the Account. This decline is attributed to a current report of an immense failure in the City in the Woollen Trade, said to be from two to three hundred thousand pounds, which will involve from twenty to thirty other houses; more failures are also in circulation. It may be added to the account of the defeat of Don Miguel's army at Terceira, given in another co lumn, that four gun-boats have been taken from the squadron. No further particulars have yet come to hand—it gives great satisfaction to the citizens. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing to the present time.

BOW-STREET. Bill Savage, the pugilist and cabriolet driver, was charged, under the Highway Act, before Mr. Hafts this morning, with killing a horse, value 161., in Old -street road, which at the time was being driven in a hackney_ coach. The coachman stated that he was on his own side, passing a waggon which was meeting him, when Savage drove his cabriolet between the complainant's coach and the waggon. The off shaft of the cabriolet entered the chest of the off side coach horse, and killed him on the spot. Mr. HALLS asked if Savage was driving furiously at the time. The complainant would not positively say that he was, but he thought that Savage had no business to drive be tween him and the waggon. Swage s t a ted that he was only going a t a j og - trot, w hil e the complainant was racing with another hackney coach, and ran at full speed against his shaft. Both the complainant and the other coachman had a woman on the coach-box at the time. Mr. lIALLs dismissed the complaint for furious driving, and said that complainant must go to law for the value of the 'Arse. COURT-MARTIAL UPON CAPT. DICKEN SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY—(THIRD DAY.) This morning the Court assembled at half-past nine o'clock. Mr. HENRY GYLES, signal Midshipman of the Genoa, was called, and examined as to the third charge—of Cap tain Dickenson being reproved for not using springs. Ile stated that as fir as he could recollect the situations of the ships, the Asia, Genoa, and the Albion, the G e noa's head was more to the northward than the Asia. By the COURT—As to the charge, No. 2, he did not recolect seeing an English flag hoisted at the head of the Albion during the action. The Genoa's opponent was nearly a beam of her on the starboard aide. He did not think that the Genoa's position was ever such that s he could have fired into the Albion. To a question from Sir HENRY BLACIVIOOD—The fire of the Genoa silenced her opponent. He did not perceive any other ship firing on her opponent. The Genoa kept firing for four hours on her opponent. Captain SCIIO3IBERG—Was the Genoa's opponent si lenced before or after the fall of Captain Bathurst ? Witness—After, as near as I can recollect. The Genoa's broadside was towards her opponent the greater part of the action, particularly in the commencement. He did not recollect her being astern of her opponent. Saw the Albion occasionally during the action. Her position as to the Genoa was on her starboard bow. He was on the poop, and towards the latter part on the forecastle. Captain Ba thurst was wounded and carried below about an hour after the action had commenced. Their opponent was a fine line-of-battle ship. Commander ROBINSON, late a Lieutenant of the Genoa, who proved the log upon the first day, read an extract from the log as a part of the third charge, as to Captain Dickenson being reproved for not using springs. He stated that it was about an hour after the action had commenced, the Genoa altered her position a little, rather obliquely from her opponent; she was completely abreast of her before. It then became necessary to train the guns forward. Occasionally, when the smoke permitted, he could see the Genoa's opponent. She was a fine 74-gun ship. It was about this period that the springs were made use of. The springs acted immediately. Captain Smith came down below, and ordered him to send the men from the guns, and the order was most promptly obeyed. He stated that the springs were hauled up a second time after the Genoa had been raked by her opponent, and Cap tain Dickenson gave the order. He came down upon the lower deck for the purpose. The mainmast of the Asia's opponent was only standing. The rest of her masts was lying over her side. The Asia and Genoa's opponents were athwart of each other, and the Genoa kept firing at both, the breeching of the foremost guns was carried away by the incessant firing, and they were so hot from the repeated firing, that they could scarcely bear their hands upon them. The springs were bent on the ring of the anchor. He observed the Albion during the action, her bow and her larboard broadside was towards the Genoa. He never saw time Genoa in such a position that her foremost guns could fire into the _Albion. He did not see the Albion's fire directed in particular against the Genoa's opponent. He did not see any ship of the Allies fire into the Genoa's opponent, the Asia might have done it, but the smoke was so dense he could not be positive.— The Genoa lay towards her opponent, with her head and stern. There were no men killed by musketry in his quarter of the ship. The position of the ship required the use of the springs, but they were used only twice to his own knowledge ; they were used by hauling. All our bow guns were not able to bear on our opponent, but were used with great effect after the springs were hauled ; those guns were brought to play upon the stern of their opponent. It ivas impossible that they could have fired into the Albion by mistake. He could not get a gun to bear upon her even if he wished it. Capt. Eathunq was wounded and carried below about 40 minutes after the action had commenced. After Capt. Bathurst was wounded the surings were properly used when necessary. When the springs were used, and from the report he had beard of the nature of Captain Bathurst's wounds, he was of opinion that the ship was then under the command of Captain Dickenson. The order for using them was given after Captain Bathurst had been wounded. He was of opinion that no officer could show more anxiety than Cap tain Dickenson did during the action, and afterwards. At intervals, when he saw the Albion, he distinctly observed tile white ensign at her foretop head. There were others of the enemy's ships in the direction of the Genoa's oppo nent, which, if her fire did net strike her opponent, it must have taken effect with other of the enemy's ships— the foremost guns got heated by the continual file di rected against their opponent, and subsequently they brought their after guns to bear upon her—there was no grape-shot fired at our opponent--if it was, it was with out his knowledge—he ordered them to double shot their guns at each round, thinking that it would have more ef fect when they were closely engaged—they were so close to their opponent that they could scarcely miss her—they were within a pistol-shot of her—when the men were asked the first time to haul the springs, they manifested a reluc tance, but not so the second occasion, which he attributed to the presence of Captain Dickenson.-- It was the fire of the Genoa that silenced her —he never beard that any order had been given by Captain Bathurst—after he had been wounded and car ried below he saw the Asia—she was but two points on her larboard quarter, with her head the same way as the Genoa's, and never out of that position during the action to the best of his recollection. All their larboard guns were ready for firing, but did not fire them—some of the enemy's ships fired on that side, and one man WAS killed. By the PRESIDENT-The Albion never passed between the Genoa and her opponent on the starboard side, and to prevent any mistakes of firing into the Albion, he gave orders not to fire in the direction of her station. By Captain DICTENSON—He recollects receiving two orders to cease firing, so that the foremost guns might not be fired into the Albion. He saw Vice-Admiral Codring ton the evening of the day of the battle. He came on board the Genoa and was on the larboard gangway o ut of the ship ; there were several of the officers present at the time. Cannot now recollect who they were. Sir Edward Codrington addressed himself to Captain Dickenson, say ing that he took that opportunity of expressing his appro bation for the noble precision with which they fired their guns, adding that he not only made the observation there, but when Captain Dickenson was not present, on which we all returned thanks to the Admiral for the high compli• menthe paid us; after which lie left the ship. Lieutenant Sturt, of the Genoa, was next called—He, upon the first day, attested the log book, and examined as to the 4th charge ; in which the log stated that the Genoa had three Ottoman ships opposed to her, &c. such not be ing the case ; this witness read over the entry in the log, which stated such to be the case, and testified to its accuracy. The Genoa way lying in a parallel line with her opponent. By the Coun , r—The effect produced by the Genoa's fire upon her opponent, was the loss of opponent's main and mizen masts, and also her hull was much damaged. He observed the Albion, at the latter period of the action, when the Ottoman ships had fallen on board each other, firing her starboard guns. The Albion was two points frora the Genoa's larboard. When the two Ottoman ships fell on board each other the guns of his quarters were firing into the bows of both the enemy's ships. Three or four times they fired at a small frigate in the nearer line of the Turkish ships—they were unable to fire any of their stern guns on account of the difficulty in hauling in the springs when they were required. At one time in the action there were three of the larboard guns fired at an Austrian schooner, and she appeared directly a-beam of the Asia. From the position of the Genoa to the latter be thought it quite impossible that those guns could have struck her. He does not know of any orders said to have been given by Captain Bathurst after be had been carried below. He was of opinion that every thing had been done to keep the Genoa in her position, It was his opi nion that the Genoa was placed in that position in which she could engage her opponent in the most effectual man ner, without the further necessity of using the springs more than they were. By Captain DIcKENsoN—The Genoa had every gun engaged on the starboard side. When he saw him (Capt. D.) on the lower deck, he was then encouraging the men to haul in the spring, andstimulating them by his example. By the ConsJ.—Captain Dickenson was about five minutes on the lower deck, and he left it when the spring was hauled in sufficiently. He recollects seeing Sir Ed ward Codrington en board the Genoa on the evening of the day of the battle. As he was passing by on the ler. board gangway, and as he was descending to a boat which was to convey him on board the Asia, he heard the Ad miral express his approbation of the fine style in which the Genoa took up her position, and the gallant manner in which she had maintained it. He did not hear more, for he descended into the boat, which was to convey him on board the Asia. By the Couez—Be saw the Albion pass between the Genoa and her opponent en the starboard aide. The Genoa was nearly a cable length from her opponent at that time. Captain CURZON was next examined as to the 4th charge, as to the mis-statements in the log-book.—He thought the account certainly e rroneous, as far as it im plied that she could engage all those ships. He did not think that the Genoa could have three line of battle ships
