TRIAL OF CAPTAIN LITTLE.
[Mr. Otis's defence of capt. Little, against sundry charges brought by the Officers and crew of the French Corvette Berceau, referred to in our paper of yesterday.]
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the court,
Upon a view of the evidence exhibited by the Prosecutors of capt. Little, I am unable to discern the least foundation for impeaching his conduct as an officer or as a man. I therefore dispense with the examination of any witnesses in his favor except those who have been adduced to invalidate the testimony of whose manifold contradictions would alone deprive him of all credit. It would betray a want of confidence in the candor and discernment of the court, to occupy their time in the examination of witnesses to refute charges, which are entirely unsupported; and an undue anxiety in behalf of capt. Little, to presume that any other justification of his proceedings can be necessary, but what is already established by the witnesses for the prosecution. From these considerations, though surrounded by credible persons, who were spectators of all his transactions in relation to the Berceau and her crew, which were all public and undisguised, he cheerfully forbears to call them into court, and rests his defence upon the utter deficiency of the evidence produced against him. Nor should I, upon an ordinary occasion, deem it incumbent upon counsel to make any remarks in exculpation of a defendant against whom no accusation is supported by a shadow of proof. But when the most audacious practices have been employed to ruin the reputation of a brave officer, who, like yourselves, was engaged in our revolutionary conflict, and was distinguished as a man without fear and without reproach; when efforts are made to tear from his brow his last and most verdant laurel, by men, whose patriotism is manifested only by the malignant ardor, which precipitates them into projects, to debase the character of their own country, its fleets and officers, and to gratify the pride, the passions, and even the freaks of another nation; when finally by an incessant din and clamor, continued for nearly twelve months, these men have at length so far deceived the administration, as to attract its attention to their wicked calumnies, it cannot be expected that I should sit down in silence and suppress all illusion to these circumstances, and without some few comments upon the nature of the charges and of the evidence adduced against capt. Little.
An attentive perusal of these charges shews, that they are all comprized in one; that of mal-treatment of his prisoners. It might indeed seem, upon a cursory view, as it has been intimated, that the charges contain something more, viz. an allegation of actual embezzlement by capt. Little of certain of the prize goods, with an intent to defraud the Government; but I must insist that no such charge is even specified by the government. The distinction is obvious between a secret taking of goods from an individual with an intent to defraud the United States, or the capturing crew, and the public seizure of property without any design of converting it to one's own use. The first is an offence prohibited by law; the last is no offence in itself; but if accompanied by a cruel and inhuman mode of proceeding, the cruelty and inhumanity may deserve censure, while the act is intrinsically right and justifiable.
As government, therefore, may prosecute for every fraud or embezzlement of prize goods; so it may forbear to prosecute, when the fraud appears to be dubious or of a trifling and insignificant nature. In the present instance, it does thus forbear to prosecute for any direct injury sustained by itself. It lends its authority to prosecute a complaint, exhibited by individuals for injuries done to them, and which implicate the national honor. As the charges, therefore, now stand, if no individual has been injured by capt. Little, he could not be convicted, even tho' it should appear, that the United States, or his crew, had sustained a damage by his procurement, and that other charges might be framed against him, this court being expressly precluded from trying any charge not specified in the order of arrest. This distinction, however clear, is of no moment to capt. Little, except as it conduces to simplify the question before the court, and to place the enquiry upon true principles.
It being, then, a question merely of maltreatment, exercised towards prisoners by capt. Little, I beg leave, without a particular recital of the articles, to consider the instances wherein the maltreatment is alledged to have consisted, and whether capt. Little is personally responsible for any of them if they actually occurred.
The instances of ill-treatment are reducible to the following items: 1st, Taking money from the prisoners; 2d, Taking other articles; 3d, Indecent conduct in searching the prisoners; 4th, Cruelty in the mode of confining and supporting them; 5th, Kidnapping a part of the crew.
1st, With respect to the money, the facts are undeniably proved to be: That three several searches were made of the officers and crew of the captured vessel; the first on board the Boston, the day following the capture, on the quarter deck; the second upon other persons in the same ship on the forecastle, a few days subsequent to the first; and the last, on board the Berceau, about fifteen days after the capture. These searches were made in presence of all who chose to inspect them. The orders of the capt. were to take money and all iron instruments, but to leave one hundred dollars to each commissioned officer, and fifty dollars to each warrant officer. Thus far, it is agreed, the orders were obeyed, and thus far only would capt. Little be responsible, had his officers exceeded their authority. To this general seizure of the money, capt. Little made another exception, which may illustrate that part of his character, which has been held up to public view as sordid and avaricious. He restored to the unfortunate capt. Senes all the specie in his trunk, a sum, which he thought too liberal, which he received with tears of gratitude, and afterwards, when no longer a prisoner, mentioned with high encomiums on capt. Little. A testimony this, honorable indeed to capt. Little, and outweighing a thousand peevish censures and bitter invectives of subalterns and sailors. The money thus taken were carried immediately into the wardroom, counted, put into a cask with the account of the whole, locked up, and afterwards, to a farthing, delivered into the hands of the marshal.
2dly, Be'd s money, some of the persons employed in the search, collected at various times, eight or ten watches, all silver, but one or two, that were either gold or gilt, one or two gold rings, some other gilt rings, a half dozen silver buckles, a few quadrants and spy glasses all of which might possibly be worth one hundred and fifty or two hundred dollars. The watches and other trinkets were also carried forthwith, to the wardroom, and, as some of the witnesses think, were also put into the keg. However this might be, it appears from the schedule which Geo. Little exhibited to capt. Little, that these things were not noted. No traces appear to this court of the subsequent disposition of these few articles, but there is not the least room for a suspicion that capt. Little ever received one of them into his possession. It might, however, be conceded for the sake of argument, that these baubles were seized and actually divided among the officers of the Boston, without any regular return or memorandum, still no offence would be committed within the meaning of any one of the charges, no injury would be thereby done to the prisoners. By the right of conquest all property belongs to the victors; even cloathing and baggage. This is evident, from the ordinary stipulations of garrisons and armies, when compelled to capitulate; from the example of towns and countries, given up to plunder. The conqueror has a discretion on what to take, and a prisoner, on his own account, has no cause of complaint for any loss which he sustains by authority from his captor. He has no right of property, but merely a right of humanity to be clothed and fed. The law prohibits individuals from pillaging of a prisoner of any of his effects, but the commanding officer may decide and seize what is superfluous; and property, thus taken, cannot be deemed that species of pillage which the articles of war aim to prevent. Watches, rings, buckles and plate may be deemed by a conqueror mere superfluities. They may, accordingly be seized by him for the use of the captors, who are amenable only to the government of their own country for the disposal of them. Whatever becomes of the booty is indifferent to the prisoner: his loss is not aggravated in any event. It may also justly be doubted, whether regard being had to the ge-
neral usage of belligerent nations, these trifling toys, thus taken from the person, are within the description of those effects, the taking whereof from the prize ship is prohibited by our law. But it suffices to glance at this position, the assumption of which is not essential to capt. Little's vindication. If the trinkets were not seizable of right, his written orders did not authorize the measure. If they have been since embezzled or lost, he never received them into his custody, nor, as I contend, did he ever see them, for the testimony of Mr. Haswell to his being in the wardroom, when a part of them was displayed on the table, evidently refers to the period mentioned by Messrs. Soley and Bradford, who testify that capt. Little was not in the wardroom, and Mr. Haswell, who was then sick and wounded, and out of his birth only a few moments at a time, and who cannot swear to the presence of any other person, is probably mistaken. But whether present or not, the entire property was left in the wardroom in the custody of the officers.
Whoever had access to the cask, which contained them, capt. Little certainly had none; the only return made to him was an account of the cash, which had been produced in court, sworn to by the clerk, and proved to comport with the return of the Martial of the District. Thus capt. Little, if culpable in any view, would deserve censure, not for receiving possession of these things, but for omitting to receive it. It was not his duty, however, to do more than he did. You, gentlemen, have better information upon this subject than I can pretend to, and I submit to your opinion, whether it be practicable for the captain of a frigate personally to superintend, search and seize property with his own hands, to take an account of it, when seized, or to keep it in his custody. Like all men in superior stations he must depend upon the fidelity of subordinate agents; they hold their commissions under the same authority with himself, and in the present case the officers might fairly be presumed to be checks upon each other. After issuing discreet and legal orders, it is impossible for the best officer, consistently with other duties, to descend to minutiae in carrying them into effect.
3dly, The next enquiry relates to the mode of conducting the search. In this respect the accusation of the prosecutors is highly aggravated and discreditable to men holding military commissions. These officers have stated in public papers, and repeated on the present occasion in the articles of charge, that they were all examined in those parts, which delicacy forbids to name, in pursuit of money. This is false as it respects both officers and men, the former of whom opened and shut up their own trunks, and delivered their own money, and the latter were examined with much less rigor than their conduct would have justified. Two men only, of their own accord, pulled down their trowsers by way of insult, the rest were only ordered to unbatten their waistcoats; and when every device was employed to conceal effects; when bandages were tied round their bodies, money sewed up in their cloaths, shoes, and buttons, hid in balls of wax, soap, barrels of sugar, in various, and in short every place adapted for concealment. What a picture is exhibited of the insolence and arrogance of these men, who have raised such a clamor in the country, and involved the government in such heavy expence, because their brawny bodies were not handled with all the delicacy and decorum, which would be proper in a maid of honor undressing a Queen.
4thly, The next instance of cruelty is stated to consist in the mode of confining their prisoners. This charge, however, is candidly abandoned, and it is conceded that they experienced every possible kindness, consistent with their situation, and fared equally with our own officers and sailors. The ample and uniform evidence in this particular contrasted with their complaints of being grievously shackled and put upon allowance, discovers the spirit of exaggeration and malice which characterizes every part of the accusation.
5thly, The same tone and temper are manifested in the charge of appropriating, or in other words, kidnapping the black citizens of the Republic. The allegation is destitute of all color of truth. One boy only was recommended to capt. Little by capt. Senes, and taken as his servant. He was carried with his own consent into the country, where he remains, happy and attached to capt. Little and his family, and perhaps in as fair a way to become a useful
and honest man, as he would be at Cayenne or St. Domingo. In these times, too, as American property is no longer lawful plunder, a French negro may even grow rich in Mansfield as rapidly as he could in the West Indies. The boy, however, is free, and can go or stay. He has never been demanded by any officer of the French nation.
I have thus taken a survey of this grievous accusation, and of the evidence produced to support it, with all possible brevity, and at the same time with as much attention as my leisure, since the adjournment yesterday, would permit. My reluctance to delay the court or to request another meeting, has induced me to submit this defence without the slightest revision, and I will close it with a few general observations.
All who are conversant in Courts of Justice are daily witnesses of prosecutions arising from the spleen, the resentment and malice of mankind. But in all that have occurred under my observation, I recollect none founded upon so flimsy a basis as the present. It is, indeed, a case of a most singular complexion, and I believe, unprecedented in the annals of naval or military history. A number of prisoners, citizens of a nation, which, for ten years, has subsisted upon the indiscriminate plunder of all other nations by sea and land, whose Buccaneers have stripped our citizens of uncounted millions; being legally captured by an American ship, within 2 months after their arrival in port begin to publish charges of high misdemeanors against the officers who took them; these invectives are repeated and circulated with industry, by those friends which that nation finds in every country, prompt to proclaim her rights and vindicate her wrongs, but slow to feel and to resent the outrages offered to their own countrymen. The executive Government is at length deceived and induced to consider it a national concern. A Court martial consisting of respectable officers, is convened at great trouble and expence, and upon trial it appears, that the defendant has conducted towards his prisoners with the most perfect humanity and kindness, and with no less integrity towards the government and his own crew: that no cruelty or unnecessary severity has been exercised, much less sanctioned; that the captain of the prize, the most proper organ and judge of the pretensions of his own crew, has lavished encomiums upon his polite and humane deportment, and what is most remarkable that after a capture of a large and valuable ship of war, and among two crews, consisting of several hundred men, upon the most severe and extraordinary scrutiny ever instituted, all that is pretended to be missing are a few paltry watches and trinkets, which were probably plundered from our own citizens or others, and not one of which ever came into capt. Little's hands, or was submitted to his inspection. On the contrary he relinquished to the French captain a sum more than equivalent to them all.
If, upon charges originating in such sources, and supported by such evidence, a naval commander is thus exposed to vexation, expence and dishonor, great patriotism and fortitude will be requisite to induce men of honor and independent principles to encounter these dangers more formidable than they can meet in battle, and which do not exist in the service of other nations: they are not sure of victory, when their enemy is vanquished, but are liable to be led captive by their own prisoners in their own country.
It is, Mr. President and Gentlemen, with you, under these circumstances, to secure to Captain Little the only consolation which he is capable of receiving. By the forms of proceeding in Courts of Common Law, the honest innocent man, even after an acquittal, is sometimes confounded with an equally fortunate, though less deserving character. The conciliatory verdict, of not guilty, is common to both, and is all that either can obtain. A Court of Honor is competent to do more than this; to approve as well as to acquit; and I persuade myself that this court will delight, in this occasion, of doing justice to a brave and meritorious brother officer. Acquainted with the embarrassments and vexations incident to naval command; with the passions of the human heart, which appear in all their unpleasant varieties in the crew of a large ship, you can decide whether Captain Little has betrayed a want of humanity and discretion. Realizing the multiplicity of avocations, the incessant care, and exertion, unavoidable by a Commander in a long

cruise, after a bloody conflict, with a dismantled prize in tow, you can judge whether he has been culpably deficient in vigilance, or ought to be responsible for the conduct of others; feeling as men of honor and spirit, you can appreciate his sensations at these dishonest attempts to cover him with ignominy, and sacrifice him to the rapacity of men, who, with the same pleasure would see your epaulets torn from your shoulders, and this ship bro't a wreck under the stern of that which flaunts her colours in our view.
In making this defence I have carefully avoided every expression of censure and reproach against the administration, by whose order the court is instituted. No wonder, with the unwearied pains which have been taken, that the Executive Officers should be deceived, and I willingly impute the orders on this occasion to a sincere desire to rescue the honor of our Navy from reproach. Their promptitude, however, in pursuing this investigation, affords a laudable example for the French Republic, in the coffers of some of whose Naval Commanders, upon examination, would be found, not merely a few contemptible baubles, but an accumulation of all the American spoil, which avarice, directed by fury, has been able to extort from the opulent merchant, the sailor, the fisherman; from the proud ships, which deepened with the wealth of India, and the shallow craft that scudded from their pursuers with the gleanings of poor industry. Should this example rouse the rulers of that country to imitation and to justice, then indeed will an important benefit be derived to our nation.

FROM EGYPT.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 25.
Yesterday we received advice that the capitulation of Cairo was carried into effect on the 10th of July, on which day the French troops marched out, and were escorted to Rosetta.
It is believed here that General Menou will not delay to accede to the capitulation of Cairo, as the city of Alexandria is reduced to the greatest distress. All the inhabitants who cannot procure a flock of provisions for three months, are obliged to leave the town. The want of water is extreme, and the inundations which the Turks and English have occasioned, by breaking down the Dykes of the lakes Mahudia and Labach, have increased this want. The sea has overflowed the country near Alexandria for the extent of 6 leagues, and entirely ruined the canal which conveyed the waters of the Nile to the city. The communication between Cairo and Rhamania is likewise entirely cut off.
A corvette, and a small ship of the sqd.
dron of Gantheaume, have, it is said, got into Alexandria; but the fleet itself returned to France, after it had appeared on the African coast to the north-east of Alexandria, where it suffered considerably by a violent storm.
Lord Elgin had to day an extraordinary audience of the Caimacan, or deputy grand Vizier, who presented him on the part of the Grand Seignor with an aigrette, set with precious stones, of the value of 16,000 piastres, a horse, magnificently caparisoned, and a beautiful pelisse. The persons in the train of lord Elgin have likewise received furs and other presents. Considerable presents will likewise be sent to the English staff officers at Egypt.
Several transports have failed in haste for Egypt, as is supposed, to take on board a part of the French troops which are to be conveyed to France.
Another letter, same date, in a Hamburg paper of Aug. 26.
The capitulation of Cairo has been communicated to gen. Menou, with an invitation to accede to the same within ten days as otherwise such favorable conditions will not be granted them.
Bets have been laid here that before the expiration of three weeks, a courier will arrive with advice of the surrender of Alexandria—the report that it has already surrendered is premature.
The English and Turkish army to which Cairo surrendered amounted to 46,000 men. General Belliard, expecting to be attacked on all sides, proposed an armistice for five days, which the grand vizier at first refused to grant; but it was at last agreed to by the advice of the capt. Pacha. The French delivered 25 hostages; and the negotiation were followed by the capitulation, which was concluded on the 28th of June.
After the expiration of the five days, the Janizaries, and some officers, entered Cairo, to take an account of the ammunition and other stores in the city. The courier sent by the Captain Pacha to Constantinople, with advice of the surrender of Cairo, has been presented with a superb pelisse, a valuable aigrette, and a pension for life. The suburb of Pere, and a part of Constantinople, was illuminated for 3 successive nights on account of the surrender of Cairo. The value of the magnificently caparisoned Arabian horse, presented to lord Elgin, is estimated at 10,000 piastres.
In consequence of the surrender of Cairo, orders have been issued to set at liberty all the French prisoners in the Turkish Sates, except the French Charge D'Affaires, his Secretary, and the First Dragoman, Danton, who will remain in the Seven Towers till the contest is finally decided.
FRANKFORT, August 25.
The Emperor of Russia has just caused to be declared, it is said, to the court of Berlin, that he consented that the Prussian troops should continue to occupy the Electorate of Hanover; but he invited the king to accede to the treaty of Petersburg of the 17th June.
The Hanoverian government menaced that of Berlin not to furnish any thing more for the maintenance of the Prussians, if they remained in the country. But the King of Prussia, without suffering himself to be intimidated by that menace, equally absurd and misplaced, ordered gen. Kleist to procure the necessary provisions by force, if they were not furnished voluntarily.
The Chapter of Munster has postponed the appointment of a new Bishop, which was to have taken place on the 3d of September, in consequence of an intimation made to it upon the subject, by the cabinet of Berlin.
August 22.
The brother-in-law of the Russian ambassador in France, who left Paris very suddenly for the Court of Petersburg, passed through this place on his way, and after taking a hasty dinner, immediately continued his journey with the utmost speed. Two persons accompanied him, one of whom was a German officer. From hints thrown out privately by the latter, it appears that the dispatches which Count Calitschew sent off, are of such importance, that he would not entrust them to any of his suite, except his relation.
It is certain that a convention between Russia and France, for regulating the interests of several Princes and Sovereigns, especially the Elector Bavaro-Palatine, the Kings of Naples and Sardinia, the Duke of Wirtemberg, and the Margrave of Baden, has been carrying on at Paris ever
since last November; and it is supposed that the preliminaries of this convention have been at last settled between M. de Kalitschew and citizen Talleyrand, and sent to Petersburg for the approbation of Alexander I.

Extract of a letter from Tortola, received at Philadelphia, dated October 5.
"Lately was recaptured and sent into this port, the ship Zenobia, Howard, of New-York, richly laden and bound to Hamburg. She has been released and is to proceed to-morrow for Hamburg, having paid one sixth salvage. About a month since, a brig loaded with flour, without a foul on board, drove on shore on an adjacent island. It appears by papers found, that she belongs to Baltimore, capt. Wisman or Winfman; cannot learn her name."

FROM THE GAZETTE OF THE U. STATES.
TO THE PUBLIC.
I HAVE relinquished the "Gazette of the United States," to Mr. Enos Bronson, by whom it will hereafter be published.
In resigning the station of an Editor of a public paper, I feel happy in the assurance of leaving, as my successor, a gentleman, whose superior talents qualify him in an eminent degree, for the arduous task.
An acquaintance of considerable standing with Mr. B. enables me to introduce him to the readers of this Gazette, and the public generally, as worthy of their confidence and support; and justice claims the acknowledgment, that if any merit attaches to the Gazette, it has been derived, in a great degree, from the attention of Mr. B. with whose time and talents I have been aided.
The many favors experienced, during my Editorial career, from the partiality of personal friends, has left an impression which will not be speedily obliterated, and it is to the exertions of those friends, more than to any merit arising from my
labours, that the present flourishing situation of the paper must be attributed. It has Eight Hundred respectable supporters more, than when I commenced it, beside an increase of advertising custom proportionate to the additional subscribers.
That I have created many enemies, is evident. Seven prosecutions, commenced within twelve months, bear testimony to the fact. I have, however, the pleasing reflection, that whatever may be the issue, I have never intentionally committed an act which I did not conceive justifiable and proper, as an Editor and an American.

OR
EXCHANGE for approved land near the Blue-Ridge,
A valuable Tract of Land in Northumberland county, two miles from the court-house, and near the bank of the Potomac, containing 1163 acres. This tract is divided into two plantations, on the one there is a brick dwelling house 50 by 33 feet conveniently divided, and two brick offices, 24 by 16 feet. A farm-house 20 by 16 feet designed for an overseer, and other out houses.
The conveniences of this place are equalled by few, and the prospect excelled by none in the state. The house is situated on a high hill and commands an extensive view of the Potomac and the Chesapeake bay. There is a creek abounding with the finest fish and oysters, which terminates the flat land of this tract, that is navigable for bay craft, and affords an excellent landing place within half a mile of the house. On this part of the tract there is an excellent bearing apple and peach orchard, and a variety of other fruit trees. It has a great sufficiency of oak and hickory timber, for the use of the plantation, besides a large quantity of pine.
On the other plantation there is a frame dwelling house 32 by 15 feet, and a few out houses, such as tenants generally have about them. This part of the tract is as well situated for farming as any lands in Virginia. It is well watered, has a sufficiency of timber for its support, and flourishing young peach and apple orchards.
As it is presumable that no person will make such a purchase without viewing the premises, all that is necessary to add is that Mr. Spencer Ball, living thereon, will shew the whole, and is fully authorised to make sale thereof.
JAMES V. BALL.
N. B. Any person purchasing may be supplied with stock of all kinds necessary and sufficient for the plantation.
Valuable Property for Sale.
Seven hundred and eighty-eight acres in the county of Hampshire, on the waters of Great Cape Capen, about 20 miles from the Warm Springs, and 30 from Winchester. This land is full of wood, oak and pine timber. Two excellent farms may be made, with 30 to 50 acres of bottom, and rich high lands to each; and in the heart of the timber there is a fine seat for a saw-mill. Capt. Daniel Rice will shew the lands.
Three thousand eight hundred and forty-five acres in the county of Ohio, on the waters of Grave and Fifth Creeks, near the river Ohio, and about 80 miles below Pittsburgh. Some of these lands are very good, with considerable quantities of rich bottom, and plenty of excellent timber. Robert Woods, Esq. the Surveyor of that county will shew these lands.
I will sell all or any of the above lands for cash or upon credit, or take in exchange for them lands in Fairfax County, or lots of land in the city of Alexandria, or the city of Washington.
