AttßivtO the Anacreon Armed Brig, Eclipse, :and Acute Gun-brigs, from the Downs. Capt. IDASHWOOD, of tile' Sylph, of IS gun 3, has received his appointment as Post Captain in the Royal Navy, for his two gallant Actions with L'Artemise French Frigate, of 44 guns, and 350 r neh ; the first time off Cape St. Andero, and the . 4 etond off Cape Pinas. Tuesday a Court Martial was held on board the •-tiacria,!,,-, in Portsmouth Harbour, on Captain Jou N 'AkoNER, of His Majesty's Brig Star. The Charg es were exhibited against him by Mr.W. Li ND, late Surgeon of the Star, for cruel, oppressive and ty rannical treatment of his Officers, for having traded in.slaves, and various articles, on the Coast of Ma dagascar, and for having plundered a French Pri stiller. A number of witnesses having been exa mined, consisting of the Officers and Ship's Com pany of the Star, the Court decided that the charges have not been proVed against the said Capt. JOHN GARDNER, but are ill-founded, malicious, vexa tious, scandalous, and infamous, and doth adjudge him to be honourably acquitted. It has been thought that the plan of maintaining the Volunteer Service, affords ground for believing .that Government do not place much dependance. on the stability of Peace. But as Fra . nce is now in a treat degree to be considered as a Military Country, 1 1(1 is not likely to lay aside its military notions 411 d feelings for some :time, it would be a want of Policy if Great Britain did not also preserve its Partial habits. France cannot have any reason for `). ()king with distrust on such conduit, as in faEt it would be only following its own example.
