' I The -Court assembled yesterday morning, at the usual hour, when Colonel Palmer proceeded to state, that,,prior to - his reading to the Court a written reply to the defence of Col; Quintin, which he had drawn up, lie wished, in justice to his brother,Officers, to make a few remarks on certain Parts of the defence, which' were not no ticed in the paper he then held in his hand. The Judge Advocate expressed his willingness to hear those observations, provided the' substance' of them was afterwards subm";tted to the Members of the Court, in writing. Col, Palmer stated, that they should be so submitted. Colonel PAt.start commenced by giving some explanations upon part of-Colonel Quint-ill's -de fence, to which hoe, did not intend to refer in the course of his reply. He alluded to the °Wren-a firm made by Colonel Quintin upon Capt. Lloyd's having accompanied hint in an excursion to Paris, .upon -terms of the most friendly intercourse, and to the inference drawn by Colonel. Quintin from -that circumstance of there being no intention on the part of hiS brother Officers to que•stion'his right to the testimonies that load been given to his general conduct on service. Upon this point Capt. Lloyd had himself written a letter, which Colonel Palmer then read to the Court. In this letter,' Captain Lloyd stated, that he had often express, : ed .a wish to visit the- French capital in the pre sence of Colonel Quintin ; and having been re quested by Colonel Quintin to accompany him in such an exenrsiOn, he could not, without expos- ' ing himself to unpleasant imputations, have re fused the invitation; As Col Qnintin load always behaved towards him in the kindest mauner up to that period, it would ill become him to he fOrwardi in animadversions upon his conduct. His subse' (pent acquiescence in the proceedings-taken by the j Officers of his regiment arose from a ft cling of ha, noun, and not from personal pigne. • 'floe next point to which Col. Palmer 'referred, was the as sertion made by Colonel Quintin, that , Major Howard,snd four or five other Officer, had refused ' to sign the letter sent to the Prince Regent. TO this - he answered positively, that Major' Howard only gave such a refusal, every other Officer who had been asked having subscribed his, name to the letter. Major Howard was the particitlar friend, .of Colonel Quintin, and consequently - it was na tural to suppOse ,he would not join in the accusa tion against him. Colonel Palmer then proceed ed.to refer to the observations made 'by Colonel - Qnintin on the' number of corporal punishments ' which he discovered to have been inflicted -pre . vions to his joining his regiment, and to his deter teination to lessep, as much as possible,. t prole- . tice which had been so pointedly t.fepreecited.— • Upon this point - the gallant-Colonel entered into a detailed explanationto justify his.own conduct; ~ General Viesp (the President), however, inter iipted his remarks,hy observing that it waS•qttite unneeessary for hith to enter into a vindication of his vl7ll conduct, as the Court were satisfied that. nothing could have been more bommrable or more . exemplary.---7 Col. Palmer was highly gratified 'by this :testimony to his conduct ;- but loc. felt it in 7 ctionbeat on Ilion to spew that the punishments Which he bad inflicted were absolutely essential to the well-being of the reglment,;_and, besides; were not more frequent than those inflicted by Colonel Quiw.in. 4;i - eral ATTS.E here again interrupted Colonel PahliCr, by remarking, that the cotirse pursued by Colonel Qnintin, in endeavouring to • lessen excess-,of punishment, and .to . try the effect of. lenity on his soldiers, was highly praise-worthy ; and'althOngh he had failed in the attempt, his merit was not theiess. • Colonel l!AumEtt coosidered. it essential to press this Point, lest it might he inferred, from Colonel Quintin's remarks, by' Sjr Francis Burdett and othvrs, who had introduced this subject into Par lianiefit, that the , discipline of a regiment on ser vice could be maintained without corporal punish-, meiitsan inference which every Officer who knew any thing of the - Army most deprtcate. This part he considered as an attack on hini ; and: o,n Colonel Roberts ; and he proceeded at consider able length, to prove the necessity 'which there ,existed, from the want of disciiilioe. in the regi ment, to' make severe examples ; and asserted, that notwithstanding this laxity of discipline; not one quarter of the number of 'Men had been pu nished.during the time he held the Con - inland, as . there were while commanded by Col. Q►tintiu.,.He also strenuously argued on the necessity, particu larly on foreign :service, of having recourse to cor poral punishment. With respect to the assertion of, that.he - (the Prosecutor) was de- Sirous of remaining iii England, to look aftercer tain Parliamentary business, he utterly denied, however the interests of his family might be im plicated in any .Parliamentary proceeding!, that be Was actuated by any such motive; and entered into an explanation of great length;to prove the • truth of the statement. As to the infirm state of Colonel Quintin's health, which was advanced as a reason : for his not sooner - joining the regiment, he begged to observe, that his health - was not in a worse state than that of the greater part of the Officers . whom he commanded.—On the subject of the letter of the 9th of August, which:was migivally intended to be delivered to the Prince Regent, but which hid been withheld, in conse quence of his (the Prosecutor's }; preterring a per sonal interview with his Royal Highness, lied which letter Was afterwards given to Col. Quin tin, on his stating thlit it was his Royal High. ness's desire, he wished to observe, that no orders had ever been given by the Prince Regent . with respect to the giving up of that letter. Colonel P.itman then proceeded to his written reply. With respect to the Ist Charge, of not having properly supported the foraging party in the vallsy of iliaruy, it was clear from the evi dence, that, instead of obeying the brigade' or ders, and procuring for the foragers a proper sup , - port, iu the morning - , it was twelve o'clock at noon before Capt. Lloyd was dispatched to Gen. Murillo for a body of infantry to cover them. It was also in evidence that they were very soon at• tacked—that Col. Quintin lett theta without sup port, and that some men were in consequence taken. In answer to this, Col. Quintin stated, that he received the orders at night, and that he dispatched a messenger, at day-break, to General ~L ~'.-..5~~' ~Y * Murillo ; but be was here evidently confound ing what occurred on the lOth, wit - h what hap : peend two dayS afterwards, op the 12th. He seemed to think, that he would be aided by a co vering party, with very little notice. He observed, that he took the supporting party of fhe regiment, up the hill, foraging as they went, leaving the 1-• advanced party unprotected, '' concluding that they would overtake or fall in with . us by an other road.'' 'This Colonel Quintin.admitted he had done, without leaving a single person to • direct the party, so abandoned', of the coarse he had taken—at a time,- too, when, there %%as a thick fog, which was one of the reasons. he al leged for retiring. This charge he considered proved, and it called for the severest sentence of the Colat.': —With respect to? the a nx i e ty he ea . pressed .to Captain Fitzclarence, when at the top of the bill (two miles from the place where he had left the foraging party), he could give hint no 'credit for it;, it was the natural conduct of a man, conscious that he had abandoned to chance those who were entrusted to his care: If they looked to the evidence'of Serjeant Marchant they would find, that, at the period of the attack, in stead of skewing energy and decision at such a critical period, Colonel Quintin was quietly riding to and fro, no`w a nd ag a i n l oo ki ng at the enemy. I will venture to -affirm (said Colonel Palmer), that if the men - could have been examined as to their feelings when Colonel Quintin led them to the rear, they would have stated that they felt the greatest anxiety for the safety of their comrades. I cannot but remark, that while Colonel' Qaintiu . remained near the foragers,. he was far from dis playing any energy„ but continued tamely riding his horse up and.down, instead of going instantly to the place of attack, as it was his duty to have done. As to the statement' that an Officer was detached for a detachment -at_ day-bre:lk to cover the foragers, no such circumstance could have taken place ; it was on the l2th, and not on the 10th, that Lieutenants WyndhanP•and Fitzela rence were coder orders. to procure .a covering party from General Murillo, and the Colonel and the Serjeant-Major Must, to say the least of it, ,have confounded date's and circumstances. This is proved by the silence of ColondQuintin when General Murillo'S rebuke was related to hint ; and by the fact, that at the time, the Officer was not sent for. to receive rebuke or graver punish ment. Why also did Colonel Quintile put no question to Lieutenant Fitzclarence on the subject ; and .why, also, is there no mention of the • order in the orderly-book ? The evidence of Brigade-Major Jones was very strong in sup port of the charge. This Officer, thouga he rode 'off to bring up a. party of infantry, considered._ that a covering party bad been stationed, as as order to that purpose had beep given. lie also' stated,, that a. chain of infantry would hare pre- - vented the loss, of that ; the ground was soch, • that 100 infantry' would nave stopped a large hotly of troops : how much Mort certainly then might thee have-prevented the attack which took place, a:ldWhich was orily Made by the eoemy•s pictitiet•t;. Indeed, it is proved that. the whole of Colonel Quintin's conduct was a mass, of inc o nsistency and confusion. Qoarter-Master-Eyre loon(' forage in-', plenty in a place perfectly _safe, yet Lieut. Fitz, . clarence was sent to forage in General Murillo's cantonments, which tvere ordered to be respected. Lord E. Somerset's order of the 15th origioated in' the events of the 10th, and these 'must have been among the circumstances which contributed to Lord Combermere's opinion. . The Second Charge,_which alleged that Colonel Quintin (lid not give the support he ought to' do to the regiment when attacking time enemy the . day after the battle of Orthies, lay in a very nar row.compass. • Col. Quintin answered it, by re ferring to his former.good character, by starting his opinion as to. the situation in which a Com manding Officer should be found, and by depend ing more than perhaps' was consistent With the military character, on the state of his horse.— Now lie was willing to giveSoionel Quintin (who t by the way, was in service a very young Officer) every advantiige that could be derived from his former good character. But 'he would ask, was that to, establish him for ever ? And what had his former conduct to do with the rharges now advanc 'ea against hint ? From the 'evidence of Private French, it appeared that Colonel Quintin was at : one time in front ; hut no reason was assigned fur his changing his position when brought to action. There are, notwithstanding the' insinuation of Colonel Quintin; that to have led: his regiment would have been an act of rashness, pardonable only in a young Officer, Of ficers•even in the same regiment of older standing-than himself. For let 'it be recollected, in service Colonel Qaimt in is a young . Officer, and the affair of the-28th of Fe bruary was the first since he had joined the re gimenrin which he had an onpfmronmity of t'immiinat ing the' regiment by Iris example. The Earl of Uxbridge, in answer to a qnestion, where the COlonel of a regiment of cavalry should be sta tioned, said, in the flank of the column. Now • the case of Col. Quintin has not been properly represented to his:Lordship : it was given in evi dence, that Colonel Quintin was riding in front Of his leading division, .where Captain Fit zclarence saw him reining in his horse, and moving off to the flank. Serjeant Lacy said, that he passed him When he was at the head of a column. Now if either Lord Uxbridge or General Vivian had been asked whether it was 'proper for a Colonel who had been riding at the head of his divisiou to stop and Move off to the flank, when within 50 yards of the enemy, and they had answered .yes, all the army might have retorted upon these excellent Officers, that their practice was contrary to their principles. As to the silly invention of Set'- team Lacy, with respect to Colonel Quintin's mare; I was from the first disgusted with it, as tending to they unmerited odium on Colonel Quintin, who is a light weight, an excellent se lector of horses, and confessedly the best horse man in Europe.

Colonel Quintin also spoke of the inferi or i t y o f his own and the other Officers' truup-ho ; ; be did not say that any Officer ever condescended to make use of such a statement as an ex cuse f or ot rititgaillthaepppoesatsefdv, ti - al there was qUilg, hich he s h ou ld h ave o n l a il lipa c(eL I
