TREATMENT OF MITCHEL, THE CONVICT.
Mr. G. ROBINSON. in waft the question of which he
had given notice, said that his o eict was to anemia whe-
ther there was any foundation for the our that had been
extensively circulated, that Mitchel, while on board the
Swarm en his way to Sanwa, was allowed to Ewes with
the oaken of that vessel, and, in other placed on
a footing in refer nee N thou oacen, wh h, baba at
the tines a convict in course of undergoing his sentaeoe, was,
If true, highly derogatoryto them as °Moen bearing her
Majesty% sensaission. The question he wished to ask was
whether any report had been made to the Admiralty by
Commis, Mrrow*, of her Mid .p's sloop Scourge, m-
yopias the inatnient of the convict Mitchel on his pangs
to Bermuda?

Sir F. BARING felt obliged to his hon. friend for the
opportunity he had thus afforded him of giving some
explanation upon the subject of the rumours to which he
had alluded. From a report which he had just received it
appeared that it was quite correct that Mitchel, while on his
passage to Bermuda on board the Scourge, dined at the cap-
tain's table; but it was not correct that he messed with the
others of the ship. Captain Wingrove in his report stated
that he gave the order for Mitchel to dine in his (the cep.
thin's) cabin, in order that he should be separated from the
other officers, who ha thought might not to be brought into
contact with him. This arrangement was made for the pur-
pose of safe conduct, and also, in some respects, from motives
of humanity in referent* to the convict's state of health. The
admiral on the station, Lord Dundonald, bad made inquiry
into the matter, and reported that he was quite satisfied that
all that was done was with the view of the sub conduct of
the prisoner, and to separate him from the others of the
and not with the view imputed in the rumours which
had gone forth. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ROBINSON had understood that the order given by
the Admiralty to the Commander of the Scourge was, to
confine) Mitchel in a separate cabin, wherein he was to take
his meals, and to place a matey over him. He was sorry to
say that the answer he had jest remised showed that that
order had been deviated from, and he wished now to be in-
formed whether any node, had been taken of that which
certainly appeared to him • direct disobedience of orders on
the part el Commander Wingrove, by the Admiralty, or the
admiral of the station.

Admiral DUNDAB said the order given to Commander
Wisgrove was to take *eery precaution for the sate custody
of Mitchel ; and, having_ eassideration to the state of his
health, to treat him in 1111 respects as a convict. It appeared
the 1101301111211Astioa the ship afforded did not allow of his

haying a separate cabin to fake his meals in ; and the cap-
tain, nada thou circumstances, thought it right to place
bin where be would be tinder kis own eye, sad at the
sane time separated from the other titian of ship.
LOSS OF LIFE OFF THE EAST COAST OF
SCOTLAND.

Mr. 0.8. DUFF naked the Secretary of the Admiralty
whether any report or reports had bean received at the Ad-
miralty on the subject of the disasters which occurred on the
east mem of Scotland in the month of Autust last ; and, if so
whether there would be any objection to lay molt resell
upon the table of the home?
Sir F. BARING had received one report, which he would
now lay on the table. Any farther information which
might be received on the subject would also be produced.
