Court. The Judge Advocate said, this was not the time for the Admiral to offer any thing to the Court. Sir J.Murray,said, he was; at the time alluded to, in possession of the paper now presented by. Admiral Hallowell, which, however, he did not produce ; if he had availed himself of it, lie should have 'profited his defence by it to - the amount of 400 men, which was the difference between the returns of the 4th and the 12th of June. The President said, he could see no reason why the paper offered by the Adthiral should not be placed with the other papers left for the future examination of the Court. The Judge Advocate did not object to the pro duction of the paper in question, but merely to the time at which it was presented ; it could 'not, be received till Sir J.

The Bth was a letter from the Alcalde of Per. nello, dated June 10. . .
