From a late London paper.
ORIGIN OF THE PRESENT WAR.
As stated by Mr. Erskine.
The most faithful and just account of the origin of the present disastrous war, was given by the eloquent Mr. Erskine, in his defence of Mr. Horace Tooke. It has been reported by Mr. Gurney, with a fidelity that does credit to his talents in his profession as a short-hand writer. We extract it as a proof of the perfection to which he carries his art of following a most animated speaker; as well as to impress on the minds of our readers the true principles of the war.
Gentlemen,
"IT happened that when France threw off the galling yoke of arbitrary monarchy, which had been attended with such infinite evils to herself, and which had produced so many calamities to Great Britain, a very general exultation pervaded this country: and surely it was a natural theme of exultation to the inhabitants of a country which had given light and freedom to ages to the world, to see so large a portion of the human race suddenly emancipated from a bondage not only ignominious to France, but dangerous to this island.
"They recollected the desolating wars which her ambition had lighted up, and the expensive burthens which our resistance to them had entailed upon us; they felt also, in the terrible disasters of France, a just pride in the wisdom of our forefathers, and a wholesome lesson to the present age and posterity not to degenerate from their example. They saw France falling a victim to the continuation and multiplication of those abuses in government, which our wise progenitors had perpetually mitigated, by temperate and salutary reformation; and they saw therefore nothing to fear from the contagion of her disorders: her arbitrary state, her superstitious church, had undergone no alterations; and for want of those repairs which the edifices of civil life require equally with material structures, they crumbled suddenly into dust; whereas, by the fortunate coincidence of accident, as much as by the exertions of wisdom and virtue, our condition had been slowly and progressively ameliorated; and our religion purified and reformed; the condition of civil life had changed and bettered under their influence, and the country had started up even amidst revolution, with superior security and illustration.
"Gentlemen, these reflections were not merely the silent, but the avowed expressions of some of the first persons in England, on the first burst of the French revolution, and I verily believe, the same sensations diffused themselves widely throughout the kingdom.
"Very unfortunately, gentlemen, for France, for England, for Europe, and for humanity, this sensation, the natural result of freedom and independence, was not universally felt; very unfortunately the powers of Europe would not yield to an independent nation the common right of judging for itself in its own concerns, nor in prudence leave it to the good and evil of its own government. All Europe combined against France, and levied war against her infant constitution. The despots of the earth, with whom the king of Great Britain had an common interest, trembling for their own rotten institutions, and looking to the wrongs and sufferings of their subjects, drew the sword (as was natural for despotism to draw it) to dispute the right of a people to change their ancient institutions. This very combination, assimilated with the patriotism of France, the public spirit of England; since our own revolution was supported upon no other foundation than the principle which was not only denied, but was by violence to be exterminated; and many persons, therefore, notoriously attached to the British government, expressed their reprobation of this conspiracy against the freedom of the world.
"This honest and harmless enthusiasm however, met with a very sudden, and in its consequences an unfortunate check. A gentleman, of the first talents for writing in the world, composed a book, I am bound to believe with an honorable mind, but a book which produced a more universal, and more mischievous effect than any which perhaps out own or any other times have produced.
"When Mr. Burke's book upon the French revolution was first published, at which period our government had taken no active part against it, no man assimilated the changes of France to the condition of our country; no man talked of, or figured in his imagination, a revolution in England, which had already had her revolution, and had obtained the freedom which France was then struggling to obtain. Did it follow, because men rejoiced that France had asserted her liberty, that they thought liberty could exist in no other form than that which France had chosen? Did it follow because men living under the government of this free country, condemned and reprobated the dangerous precedent of suffering the liberty of any nation to be overborne by foreign force; did it follow from thence, that they were resolved to change for the accidental and untried condition of France, the ancient and tried constitution of our own country? I feel within myself that I can rejoice, as I do rejoice, in the liberty of France, without meaning to surrender my own, which, though protected by other forms, and growing out of far more fortunate circumstances, stands upon the same basis, of the right of a people to change their government and be free. Can any man in England deny this? Yes, gentlemen, Mr. Burke has denied it; and that denial was the origin of Mr. Paine's book. Mr. Burke denied positively, and in terms, that France had any right to change her own government, and even took up the cudgels for all the despots of Europe, who, at the very time, were levying a barbarous, scandalous and oppressive war, to maintain the same proposition by the sword.
"This work brought forward again, after a long silence, Mr. Thomas Paine, who was indeed a republican beyond all question, but who had become so in consequence of the same corrupt and scandalous attempt to beat down by force the liberties of a nation; he became a republican in consequence of the similar and lamentable contest between Great Britain and America: and it is rather a curious cir-
cumstance, that this very Mr. Burke, who considered Mr. Paine as a man not to be reasoned with, but only to be answered by criminal justice, and who condemns as a traitor every man who attempts to name him, himself expressed his approbation of the very same doctrines published by Mr. Paine, when Mr. Burke himself was pleading the cause of a nation determined to be free; not the cause of a foreign nation which had always been independent, but the cause of colonial America, in open war and rebellion against the crown and parliament of Great Britain. Mr. Paine, during the same crisis, wrote his book called Common Sense, addressed to the Americans in arms against England, exciting her to throw off the yoke of the mother country, and to declare her independence.
"Gentlemen, from having defended Mr. Paine, upon his trial for writing his latter work, which Mr. Tooke is accused of having approved, I am, of course, intimately acquainted with its contents, and with those of his former writings: and I take upon me to say, that every offensive topic against monarchy, and all the principles of the rights of man, now regarded with such horror, are substantially, and in many instances almost verbatim, to be found in the former publication.
"When Mr. Paine wrote his Common Sense, acts of parliament had declared America to be in a state of rebellion, and England was exerting every nerve to subdue her; yet, at that moment, Mr. Burke, not in his place in parliament, where his words are not to be questioned, but in a pamphlet publicly circulated, speaks of his book Common Sense, by name; notices the powerful effect it had upon the mind of America, in bringing them up to emancipation; and acknowledges that if the facts assumed by the author were true, his reasonings were unanswerable.
"In the same pamphlet, several parts of which I have stated to the former jury, he declared, that he felt every victory obtained by the king's arms against America, as a blow upon his heart; he disclaimed all triumph in the slaughter and captivity of names which had been familiar to him from his infancy; and, with all the splendor of his eloquence, expressed his horror that they had fallen under the hands of strangers, whose barbarous appellations he scarcely knew how to pronounce.
"Gentlemen, I am not censuring Mr. Burke for these things; so far from it, that they sanctify his character with me, and even prevent me from approaching him but with respect. But let us, at least, have equal justice. Whilst these writings continue the object of admiration, and their author is held forth as the champion of our constitution, let not Mr. Tooke stand a prisoner at the bar of the Old Bailey, for having, in time of profound peace with France, and when every speech from the British throne breathed nothing but its continuance, expressed only the same detestation of the exertions of foreign despotism against freedom, which the other did not scruple, in a similar cause, and in time of open war, to extend to the exertions of his country.
"To expose further the extreme absurdity of this accusation, if it be possible further to expose it, let me suppose that we are again at peace with France, whilst the other nations who are now our allies, should continue to prosecute the war: would it then be criminal to congratulate France upon her successes against them? When that time arrives, might I not honestly with the triumph of the French arms? and might I not lawfully express that wish? I know certainly that I might, and I know also that I would. I observe that this sentiment seems a bold one! but who is prepared to tell me I shall not? I will assert the freedom of an Englishman; I will maintain the dignity of man; I will vindicate the glory in the principles which raised this country to her pre-eminence amongst the nations of the earth; and as she shone the bright star of the morning, to shed the light of liberty upon nations which now enjoy it, to say she may continue in her radiant sphere, to revive the ancient privileges of the world, which have been lost, and full to bring them forward to tongues and people who have never yet known them in the mysterious progression of things."

From the Aurora of May 19.
SIR,
I have lately been favored with the perusal of a bill which has passed the House of Representatives and is now before the Senate, entitled "An act to ascertain and fix the military establishment of the United States," and also of certain amendments which have been proposed to it in the Senate.
This bill contemplates a reduction of our present establishment to one brigade of about three thousand men, and to be so organized as to form a complete military establishment, against which, if it be not too small, there does not appear a single well founded objection—it is in fact the only well digested plan which has existed in the United States since the year 1787. The proposed amendments are calculated to destroy that regularity and order which the bill would necessarily introduce, and if adopted, will inevitably perpetuate that confusion and disorder which has existed in the legion of the United States ever since its formation. On those who think that 3000 men are too large a command for a Brigadier General; that Brigades are not necessary in the formation of a Major General's command; or that the present commander of the Legion, is the only man in the United States who is fit to command an army, the foregoing observations can have no effect: I will therefore, fir, for the information of such in particular, and of my countrymen in general, submit the following facts, and I pledge myself that whenever the character in question shall come forward and request an investigation of his conduct upon fair and honorable ground, I will then resume a visible existence, and in my own proper person and character maintain and support them, viz.
That very heavy charges have long since been submitted to the War Minister against the present commander of our army, and an inquiry into his conduct solicited in the most pointed, manly and officer like manner.
That these charges were submitted by a man of unequivocal integrity and honor, a warm and zealous friend and supporter of the Constitution and government of the United States—an officer and a gentleman.
That the official communications of the commanding General relative to his march from Greenville into the Indian country, and of the action of the 20th of August, 1794, are replete with falsehoods.
That his conduct in the western army has been in many instances partial, oppressive, ungentlemanlike and directly contrary to law.
That he has never introduced the just principles of military discipline and subordination in the army or permitted them to reside there.
That his orders previously to leaving the army in Dec. last are a proof of the last assertion, and will remain a lasting monument to posterity of his entire ignorance of all the great principles of his profession and in a word,
That whenever a strict scrutiny shall be made into his conduct, it will appear that his boasted successes in the western country about which there has been so much noise and gasconade, are more the result of accident than of pre-concerted measures; that he has wasted the public property, trampled on the laws and violated every principle of justice, of humanity and of common honesty.
I have no doubt but attempts will be made to vindicate the General against these accusations without inquiring into the truth of them; but I cannot believe that ministerial exertions will again be made to exculpate him, nor will I undertake to determine whether he will adopt his old plan of imprisoning those who dare to think and to speak justly of him, or his more recent scheme of bartering the forfeited lives of traitors and villains for secret information. It is enough for me to say, that tho' I neither fear his malice nor dread his power, yet I shall remain the sole keeper of my own secret until by embracing the above offer he will give me an opportunity of proving to the world what I now declare to be
THE TRUTH.

CADIZ, 28th Ventose, April 7. Three milliards of assignats which the English wanted to pass into France, have been stopped at the Custom-House of Cadiz. The Governor has, in every respect, completely seconded the wishes of the Republicans. He has manifested an intention of punishing the Irish houses which directed the movement on board the French fleet.
Citizen Dumanoir, commander of a vessel, according to letters of the 27th Ventose, has gone to Madrid for the purpose of making in conjunction with our ambassador, complaints to the court of Spain on the conduct of the Irish.
PROCLAMATIONS.
RICHERY Commander in Chief of the Naval forces of the French Republic in the Bay of Cadiz.
The mutinies which appear daily on board of different vessels of the fleet, and the outrages of the law, and contempt of the oath to remain faithful to it, ought not to remain unpunished. It is time at least to prove to the instigators, and to the chief of the rebels, that the days of pardoning are passed, and that those of national vengeance are arrived.
A grand measure is taken. The French Republic though in a foreign country shall cause its laws to be respected. The Spanish Government is interested in the maintenance of good order and subordination.
In consequence orders are given to each captain on the police to be observed on board the vessels of his division; and in the name of the law all good citizens are commanded to obey his orders, and not to involve themselves in the inevitable misfortunes which must result from their disobedience. (Signed.)
RICHERY, Commander, And sealed with the seal of the Republic.
Cadiz, 19th Ventose, March 9. In consequence of the information which has been given me of the complete revolt of the frigate Friponne, I hereby, in the name of the law, declare to the whole republic and all good citizens that the crew of the Friponne is in a state of revolt against the laws.
Therefore all the individuals who compose that crew, are, from this moment proclaimed rebels. The captain and etat major of the said frigate are commanded to give no farther orders to the crew, and to consider them no longer as French Republicans. But the wretches tremble, and the national thunder, which always punishes the criminal, is ready to fall on their heads. (Signed.)
RICHERY.
From the account which citizen Bourreau, commander of the frigate Friponne, has rendered to me of the return to order of the crew of the said frigate who were declared rebels to the law of the Republic, by a Proclamation of yesterday at three o'clock in the evening. It is ordered that citizen Bourreau, lieutenant of the fleet, shall resume the command of the Friponne, assemble immediately his crew on the quarter deck, and announce to them that they shall be no longer considered as rebels, if the principal chiefs and instigators of the mutiny are instantly arrested, put into a boat and conducted on shore, to be guarded in a place of security until they shall be sent to France to be tried.
All the crew of the Friponne are held responsible for any obstruction which may be given to the measure, which can alone save them from the rigor of the laws.
(Signed.)
RICHERY.
LONDON, April 18.
Mr. Grey gave notice, that as the papers which he lately moved for were before the house, he should on Thursday sen night move some resolutions, the tendency of which would be, if the house should agree to them, a direct inculcation, and afterwards an IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS for an illegal misapplication of the public money.
(London Oracle.)
THE TWO LAST LOANS.
The conduct of the minister has been called in question in a very harsh, and, we think, rather unfair manner, with respect to the loan of eighteen millions, and the King's message to the Parliament which followed it. Men who frequent Clubs in St. James's street, and the Tuff at New market, may very naturally consider such conduct as imprudent, and that of a dupe, and looking upon the minister as the Groom who manages the National Racer, may consider him either as a knave, or as a fool.
It has in fact been plainly asserted, that Mr. Pitt should have brought down the message, and then made the loan. This would have been obtaining a better bargain for the Nation. It is a matter of surprise, that men who are patriots by profession, and pretend to some political knowledge and to have some value for national dignity, should advise a minister to become a twindler, or blame him because he is not a black leg. In the eye of national pride and honor, and of morality, such reproaches excite wonder—but let us see what interest says to it.
Had Mr. Pitt once shown himself capable of raising the funds to obtain a good bargain, every future loan would have been made with a reserve in the mind of the lender for the knavery of the borrower. As it is, the lender knows that he has nothing to apprehend from that cause, and therefore deals honorably, and is contented with a reasonable price, well knowing that whatever changes in general are for him or against him, he may rely on the honor of the minister.
The present loan of seven millions and an half, is already an example of this effect; for the terms are the most advantageous ever obtained. Some even of the opposition papers say, that the loan is a burthen to the lenders, and ought to bear a discount. But it is not on loans only that the bad faith of a minister would have an effect; for had Messrs. Boyd and Benfield been ruined, or they had been injured in their fortune by such a manoeuvre, both disgrace and loss would have resulted to this country, and infamy would have been the portion of that minister who dared to twindle an individual in the name of the King and Parliament of England.
HAGUE, April 12.
One of the most important debates, that lately engaged our national convention, was that on the liberty of the press, which was occasioned by the complaints of the Common Council and of the committee of Superintendence of Amsterdam against a weekly publication called "The advocate of National Liberty," and published by the representative Valkenaar. But citizen Vreede declared the liberty of the press, the chief support of liberty, and defended it in so able and forcible a manner, that the Convention resolved, that the address of the Common Council and committee of Amsterdam was no object for deliberation.
The provisional representatives of Zealand have, by proclamation, offered a bounty of 110 guilders to all skillful sailors, who voluntarily enlist before the 14th inst. and 90 guilders to every able bodied young man above 14 years old.
The efforts for completely manning the grand fleet, go on without interruption. Several societies have agreed together, to promote, by every means in their power, the recruiting the naval forces, and money is collected in Amsterdam for increasing the bounties to the sailors. The grand fleet composed of 23 ships of the line and 13 frigates, will be ready for sea before the end of this month. The Dutch have never feared the English on equal ground; and next summer will shew, whether the modern Batavians possess yet the spirit of Tromp and Ruyter.
One of the members of the marine committee has been charged to expedite the letters of marque against England.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, June 13.
The Charges against Admiral Cornwallis have been already before the public. The sentence of the Court Martial was given in a late Gazette of the United States, being a partial acquittal. The following is a more accurate outline of his "Defence" than has yet been published. In it, the charges are met and answered; and the assistance the admiral found in his ingenious and learned counsel, Mr. Erskine, is pretty clearly evidenced.
THE DEFENCE.
The evidence for the prosecution being closed, admiral Cornwallis was called upon for his defence. The admiral said, that being indisposed with a weakness in his eye, he should request the indul-

gence of the Court, to permit his friend, Mr. Erskine, to read the paper which he had prepared in his defence.
Permission being granted, Mr. Erskine was desired to take his station near the President, Lord Howe, and read in a distinct and impressive, but manly and unaffected tone, a paper of which the following is an outline. In the whole of this paper the admiral appears as the first person; and for the sake of precision, we shall observe the same method in our report.
"I am now called upon, after a long and laborious life, to answer charges brought against me from a quarter of high authority, which, if well founded, would go at once to deprive me of the merit of that assiduity and zeal, which I trust I have ever testified to discharge the duties of my profession, and to promote the public service. A charge is brought against me by the board of admiralty, that I denied my services at a moment when they were wanted for the public, and called for by those who indisputably had a right to command them. If this Charge be true, the consequences to me must be serious indeed. I am, therefore, deeply anxious that all the circumstances, on which this charge is founded, should be properly investigated, and the motives which guided my conduct on the occasion thoroughly explained. My anxiety is increased, not merely from personal feelings, but from the higher consideration of the dignity and independence of the navy, which I cannot but regard as implicated in the issue of this case. If my honour should, in the present instance, be destroyed, the honor of those respectable personages who compose this Court, whose character forms the highest ornament, and the best security of their country, may be tarnished by the same means, which will then have been successfully employed against mine. Early in February I was appointed to the command of a squadron destined for Barbadoes. My state of health had for some time, been so precarious, that had I been disposed to shrink from the service, I might have declined the command without any fear of reproach. No difficulty would have been found to supply the appointment, as it was a situation of honor and emolument which many are naturally desirous to fill. The state of the West Indies was then extremely critical. From the inclemency of the winter and autumn, the ships destined for that quarter had been prevented from sailing for a considerable space of time, and it was reasonably to be concluded, that ministers would be desirous to take the first opportunity to expedite the necessary supplies. The urgency was not pointed out to me, under which my services were particularly required, nor was any communication made, that I should be required to take upon me the Chief command. A superior officer was at that time on the station for which I was destined. Under those circumstances I accepted the appointment. I never conceived that it was intended that I should supersede another. I received no intimation that admiral Sir John Laforey would deliver up his command to me, nor was I entrusted with any immediate message to that Command. In this situation I could not be sensible of the urgency which has since been alleged as my presence on the station; I conceived myself to be chiefly employed for the conduct of the convoy. Their expeditionary dispatch, and their safe arrival were the first objects of my solicitude and attention. Such was the impression under which I failed. The accident which befell the Royal Sovereign, at an early period, has been already detailed in the journal which has been read to the Court. On the 5th March the ship had suffered so severely from the consequences of that accident, that she could neither lie at anchor in security, or keep the sea with safety; it was then, that knowing her to be totally unfit for foreign service, I formed the determination to return to port. There was then no proper ship near me, to which I could transfer my flag. I should have thought it criminal to deprive my country of any resource applicable to its service by employing it under circumstances, in which it could not possibly be available. Still, however, so much was I impressed with what I conceived to be the original and chief object of my appointment, that previous to my return, I resolved to carry on the convoy beyond the latitude wherein they would be most exposed to danger. This object being accomplished, I delivered the convoy to Capt. Lewes, of the Minotaur, and returned to port. I am blamed for not shifting my flag to another ship. In answer to this I have to remark, that the squadron under my orders was parted. The Alfred, the Unguarded, and the Pompton, had been separated from the Royal Sovereign. The other three, the Mars, the Minotaur, and the Quebec, independently of their instructions to accompany me along with the convoy, had other secret orders under which they were to act. So little was it then the intention of the admiralty, that all these ships should compose my squadron, or be employed for any immediate service on the station in which I was destined to act that I had even no communication with them on the subject. I admitted, that I had the power to have superseded their secret instructions, and to have employed them for any purpose of the service, if any strong and imperious necessity had called for the adoption of such a measure. I might therefore have removed my flag to either of those ships, and thereby have interfered with the operations of the secret orders. Unquestionably I might have acted, if either necessity demanded, or expedience sanctioned the propriety of shifting my flag; but by such a step, I should have rendered myself liable to a Court Martial, for an inquiry into my conduct; and it is surely extremely hard, that an officer by following his own judgment, should be subject to the very proceedings, which must have been the consequence, if he had adopted a diametrically opposite line of conduct. Besides, the ships were not fitted for foreign service, nor were they sufficiently provided with stores and provisions. I had, twelve months ago, in an official capacity, stated to ministers, that the Minotaur had defects in her bottom, that she was boxed; and I have since learned that she had been two or three times ashore. If, in shifting my flag to another ship, I had merely transferred my person at the risk of my health, and my life I should not have long hesitated how to act, nor do I flatter myself that I should have felt much reluctance to have
made a sacrifice, which was required by my duty. But as an officer, it was not my business to throw myself into another ship, where I was sensible my exertions could be of no service. It would have been unworthy of the honest pride of a British seaman to have given up his real duty, for the appearance of an ostentatious and fruitless zeal. It would have been inconsistent with naval custom, and certainly not beneficial to the public interest, to have given up officers, whose fidelity, from the long experience of their trial worth, had ensured my confidence, and whose useful services merited my grateful esteem. It surely could not be expected, that in the precarious state of my health, I should embark in an arduous and critical service, with officers to whom I was entirely a stranger, and without the assistance of those whose character I approved, and in whose talents I could safely repose the execution of my orders. On the other hand, to have made the regular change of officers and crew, would have retarded the convoy, whose voyage it was of so much consequence to accelerate, and would have exposed them to all the dangers of delay. Besides, it was considered what length of time must be consumed, and what inconveniences incurred, in moving stores and provisions, to ships not intended or equipped for service. If, during that period, the enemy had made their appearance, not only the convoy would have been exposed to the most imminent hazard, but even his majesty's ships would have been endangered, and the consequence might have been extremely fatal to the naval interests of this country. Really in this point of view the plan adopted must appear to be the best that could have been pursued for his majesty's service. I entreat the Court always to hold in remembrance the difficulty and embarrassment which he must experience who has to form his decision from the impulse of immediate and pressing necessity. If in this predicament I have not formed the best decision which an unerring judgment would have adopted, for the honour and advantage of those who are placed in the same situation with myself, I claim the exercise of a fair and reasonable discretion. By custom, superior officers are never made responsible for petty mistakes, or slight differences of opinion. In the present instance I have to observe, that the command was not pressed upon me by authority, it was not only undertaken voluntarily, but accepted after such a series of illness, as might have sufficiently justified me in declining it. It was pursued at a considerable expence of equipment; it was followed by extreme anxiety and unremitting activity for the attainment of that object, with which I conceived myself to be chiefly entrusted. Under those circumstances, it would be uncharitable to ascribe my conduct to a willful abandonment of the service. It would be absurd to impute it or a deliberate purpose to sacrifice the credit acquired by a long and laborious life. I do not believe that it is possible to impute to me a base and disloyal intention. If my judgment is pronounced criminal, it will only be on the ground that it has been weak and ignorant. But I entreat the Court to beware how they countenance the dangerous precedent of allowing the solid claims of tried service to be weighed in the fluctuating scale of speculation, how they reduce the character of a superior officer, invested with a great responsibility, to be tried by nice shades of opinion. It is one thing to decide on the spur of the occasion, it is another to deliberate after the event has actually taken place. The conduct of a superior officer is entitled to be examined by fair and candid rules of interpretation, making every allowance for slight differences of judgment, and even for those accidental errors which are inseparable from human frailty. On the first charge I cannot but remark, that even after my return to Spithead, I was continued in my command, and even honoured with fresh marks of confidence. This manifestly shews, that though my judgment was disapproved, still I was not charged with the imputation of any neglect of duty. Had I complied with the fresh orders, and failed in the Atreus, I should unquestionably not have been brought before this Court Martial to answer for my conduct on board the Royal Sovereign. An officer, strongly suspected of labouring under a charge so atrocious, would not have been employed in a station so arduous and critical, while so many skilful and meritorious men could readily have been found to fill the appointment. My answer to the second charge is so essentially involved in the first, that I shall not detain the Court further on that head. I now proceed to the third charge, that of disobedience. In the case of positive orders, I certainly had neither judgement to form, nor discretion to exercise. I had only to obey. I trust that it forms no part of principles, nor has it been the tendency of any action of my life, to shake the influence of subordination. I solemnly and firmly deny that I have been guilty of disobedience of orders. When I received the order to go on board the Atreus, the object could no longer be the convoy. It must be with a view to act in the Leeward Island station, and such a commission could not be lightly accepted, under circumstances, by which I was deprived of all the assistance on which I was most accustomed to rely. If the abridgment of my own convenience, and the sacrifice of my health had been the only evils to be dreaded, I might have braved the worst. But I was in no situation to accept of so serious a responsibility. The state of my health was such as gave me no reasonable assurance, as an honest man, of being able to discharge my duty properly to the public. Had I gone out in the Atreus, I should have been a fitter object for an hospital, than for the management of an important command. In my answer to Lord Spencer's letter, I mentioned my readiness to go out, as soon as the Royal Sovereign was refitted. I did not expect that such an offer would have been treated in the light of a mutinous refusal. I mentioned the precarious state of my health as the reason why I could not go aboard the Atreus. But on the rejection of my petition, there is no evidence that I would have refused to obey a positive command. After having stated the difficulties which I found in the way of compliance, my conscience would not have been relieved, and I should have felt less difficulty to obey a repetition of the order, whatever might have been the result. My letter contained only a proposition; if that was negatived; if the original order had been renewed, &
I still had declined to obey, the Court would then have only had to consider the single point, whether or not I was in a capacity to go? The Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty, mentions in one of his letters, the example of a commander who went out in a frigate to the West-India station, in a former instance. The frigate, however, was expressly fitted out for the purpose, and the officers selected by the Commander himself. In a subsequent letter Lord Spencer ordered me to continue my flag hoisted at Spithead. It is impossible therefore to charge me with disobedience to the first letter, till the second came in answer to my proposition, which put a complete negative upon the first. If it had been hinted to me that such a construction would have been put upon my proposition, as I now find to have been the case, an opportunity would then have been afforded me for explanation. But no such intimation was given me till I received the notice of this Court Martial. I do not at all stand in the situation of an officer justifying disobedience. The intimate connection in which I stand to a Noble Person high in office, and the principles which I have uniformly supported, will prevent me from being readily considered in such a light. I did not set up my precarious state of health as an ultimate bar to the service on which I was ordered; I only submitted to my superior officers, as a reason why I was less qualified to undertake it in the particular circumstances in which I was placed. If any rule be adopted to render this conduct criminal, I shall be the first victim; and the present will afford the first instance in which such a rule has been adopted. The whole system of British law is calculated, not to entrap men in snares, not to entangle them with insidious sophistry, but to afford to all a system of candid interpretation and liberal protection. It is built on the eternal principles of justice; it is tempered by the mild spirit of humanity. Having now refuted the charge of disobedience, I must just remark upon the construction put upon my letter by the first Lord of the Admiralty—a construction entirely foreign to my intention, and, I trust, not obviously to be deduced from the expressions in which the letter is couched. If, in those expressions there is any thing faulty, I should have been happy to have afforded an explanation. Those in our profession ought surely, least of all others, in the mode of expression they may adopt, to be subjected to nicety of criticism, or puzzled by subtlety of distinctions. The noble lord imputes to me, not only my return, but insinuates that I was ever averse to the service. If a superior officer, in the exercise of that discretion with which he is supposed to be invested, is to be exposed to such insinuations, the higher his rank the more painful is the task imposed upon him. The duty of a captain is comparatively easy; he has only to obey a few simple and explicit orders. Those in a higher rank, who receive greater latitude of instruction, and have a more ample field of discretion, have to encounter the evil of ambiguity, of innocent mistake and imputed neglect. With respect to the command of an expedition there are many different judgments. The situation of an officer is peculiarly critical. He is called to a painful duty, to a dangerous eminence. His character suffers from question as well as commendation. Yet the service brings along with it many arduous toils, many severe sacrifices; nor are those wounds which assail his character the least of those evils which he is exposed to suffer. On this subject I feel much more than I can express, and you whom I now address will feel along with me. My conscience acquits me of blame, and if your verdict shall be found to confirm its testimony, my satisfaction will be proportionate to the anxiety which I feel for your approbation." The paper, of which we have here attempted to trace an outline, was distinguished by the most admirable ingenuity and closeness of reasoning, and the greatest neatness and felicity of expression. It was read in the most impressive manner by Mr. Erskine. Admiral Cornwallis was very cheerful and quite collected during the whole of the trial. He appeared both from his behaviour and language to have no doubt of being honourably acquitted. All the members of the Court behaved with the greatest candour and politeness, and Lord Howe in particular services high praise for his attention and impartiality. Sir Roger Curtis asked most of the questions which were not put by the President or the accused. Admiral Cornwallis's flag was flying on board the Royal Sovereign during the whole of the trial. It never has been struck. The Star.

Philadelphia, June 14. COMMUNICATIONS. The translations from French papers, which abuse the Government of the United States, ought to be read with extreme caution by our Citizens; they are entitled to no credit or influence. It is well known that Paris is the grand centre of attraction to a number of persons calling themselves Americans, who hate civil liberty, law, and government, as much as every regenerated son of France adores them. As all real Americans, who are friends to the freedom and independence of the United States, rejoice in the independence and freedom of France, so, all true Frenchmen who love their country, rejoice in our peace and prosperity. Frenchmen therefore can never be supposed to be the authors of calumny on the character of our government and the political Saviour of his country, WASHINGTON. No—the independence of the United States is affailed thro' the medium of the Paris papers, by renegadoes; men who really have no country; but who like crows, "wherever the carcass is, there are they gathered together." Men who have proclaimed eternal war with justice, honor and faith; to whom laws and government are a terrible scourge, and who therefore will never be at peace till they get beyond their reach.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.

The real securities given for the payment of the Prize, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
