Upon the evidence of Colonel Buckley and other
witnesses for the Plaintiff, it appeared that the De-
fendant had remaining in his hands about 451. to
the credit of the Plaintiff's account, in I eog, wlsen
the Regiment was disbanded.
The defence vas, that the balance had been ap-
prom iated to the use of the Regiment.
Lieutenant-General Sir James Craig, K. B. was
called, and examined from the Bench, in order to
chew that he haa direeted the Defendant to pay a
rim of money hel.mging to the Plaintill, to the Sac-
jeant of his (the Plaintiff's) Company, in order r 9
discharge the arrears due to the men who were
about to be discharged ; it being the pretties at that
time, that the Commanders of Companies shonid
he responsible for the pay due to their respeitive
Companies. Defend rot. however, not being
able to chew such appropriation in p! ooh, the Jcry

MID CIILDLIt, AVG. 15,1807.
0* Thursday the 't:h cu..-t. about four o'clock
in the afternoon, a varlent whirlwind crossed the
parish of MistsCrider, in a &met line from sourb to
north, a little to the westward of this village. In
its progress it exhib.ted a grand but very slanting
appearance—Two clouds, one from the north, the
other from the south, c 'me in cnntaa, near the farm
of Contentibus, where the whirlwind began. For
some time they seemed to contend with each
other, and then assumed the form of a whitish
pillar, which appeared to operate like a syringe,
At one time forcing dawn with great violence every
thing before it, and at another drawing up into the
air every thing wit'tin its reach. As it moved along
it unroofed a considerable part of some houses be-
longing to that farm, lifted a cart with its wheels
atomic I S paces, till it was entangled in a hedge,
and drew the water out of a rivulet in Calder wood
to An immense ntriAht in the air. When crossing the
extremity of this wood, the first bias; wined to level
the trees. Ina moment. however, they were
rais-d again, and the branches were seen flying about
in every direftinn. Its traces on the ground were
visible wherever it passed; it seemed to have been
between s.sty Auld one hundred yards in breadth,
ark& the wri.,le of its course near the wood was
strewed with broken branches. In creasing the
West Calder road,abont half a mile from tkis place,
nor tree was torn up by the roots, and the tops of
marry wet e broken down. Two of them especially
were.broken off abort eight feet from the ground,
and some of the limbs, a foot in diameter, were car-
ried, with ail their branches, to a considerable die-•
ta:tee. Elm noise that accompanied this whirlwind
was very loud, and alarmed sn.t only the labourers
in the fields, who witnessed its visible efferts, • but
those in the betties near which it passed. So
terrible was its appearance, that the workmen
ran in ell Oir•ttions to shelter themselves from its
vengeance, and every moment expelled death.

Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON moved. "That
there be laid before the House Copies of such Col-
respondence as passed Isetween any of His Majesty's
Steretaries of State and the Governor of Trinidad,
as to Grants of Lands to persons resorting there."
Mr. WILBERFOII.CE made a few observa-
tions upon this subjtd; irxil amongst others, that he
understood they a/cm rather grants of occupancy,
than grants of land, in that island.

This Motion was agreed to.
On the Motion of Mr. STURGES BOURNE,
the Papers presented this day from the Offi:e of the
Inspee.tor General of Exports and Imports, were or-
dered to be painted.
The Irish Si gar Drawback RegulatTon Bill was
read a second time, and ordered to be committed on
Monday next.
The Irish Quit Rents, and the Auction Duty
Bills, were severally read a second time, and or.
dered to be committed on Monday next.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved, "That the
House should go 1:1I0 a Committee, to consiskr of
the propriety of placing the Duties upon Stamped
Paper (including the proceedings in Courts
Law) upon the same footing in lrelaud as in Eng.
land, except in certain cases.'
The House went into such Committee, and he
moved a Resolution to the said purport. which was
agreed tot -sod, no tabs Hotwe resuming, the Re-
port was ordered to be received acc3rdingty.
Mr. ROSE said, that on account of the abs-nce
of one of her friends. he wished the Noble Lord op-
poite, to postpon., 't.e further consideration cf his
Financial nesolui .as, from Monday to some subse-
quent day next week.
Lord HENRY PETTY answered, that, as he
stated, last nig:it, he still thought it material that no
delay should take place. In compliance with the
Right Hon. Gentlomau's wish, however, he should
only propose, on Monday, t':at these Resolutions
shoed be proposed, in the Comipittee ; and that
the Report should be brought up on Wednesday
next, when the' discussion upon them might take

COURT MARTIAL.

On Thurstlay last a Court Martial was held on
beard Hit M.jesty's slip Vuetwi, in Yarmouth
'Loads, for the porpo,e of trying Lieutenant Henry
Weir, Commander of His Miijesty's late gun-brig
Fe.reer, ryther with his Officers arid Crew, for
the capture of the said brig by t. -e enemy's gen-
vessels, in the River Limms, on the morning of the
/Ist of March. It app an-d by the evidence ad•
&need on the trial. that the Pr,r,ttr was attacked at
day-break, on the 31st of March, by Jebel Dutch
rin-ventli, each carrying three 24 potinderr, and
10 usen. On discovering the enen,y, Lieutenant
Weir ordered his cable to be cut, and made sail on
the brig, end notwithstacding the vast superiority of
force he had to contend with, he with 1.13 lirle
irew of only tbirty•four men, d. fended the vessel in
the most gallant manner, and by a spirited fire from
the It'grreter, kept his assailants at bay fur near forty
minutes.

Th. diffi :ultics he had to encounter, however,
tie as neither doll nor courage could pir-
rtunsin—the w;ml was against his r,eiting out of the
river, hi, sails and rigging were cut to pieces, and at
this moment the Ferree, grounded. In this con-
&firm, being perfedly unmanageable, and not being
able to get a gun Pa bear, the enemy boarded him
on the :rows and stern in great oumbets. farther
resistance have been rash and unavailing, and
in all probability, would have occasioned a sacrifice
ot the few men he had t motives of humanity,
therefore, suggested to Mr. Weir the propriety ot
order:rig his people below.
Great praise is due to Lieutenant Weir for the
coolness and presence of mind di.played by him on
this trying occasion, and to which, indeed, may
be attributed the preservation of the lives of his
roPle•
Lieutenant Weir made a very animated defence,
in which be expatiated with considerable ability on
the seal, prfAnpritude, and alacrity displayed by lin
handful of men on this occasion, and conckiad a ith

Charle ton, May 3, IEI7.

have received your letter ; and having
some doubts as to the authority by which it was
written, 1 thought proper to satisfy myself on that
head, btfore I should reply. By the threat it con-
tains, you appear, like your Government, to have
something to learn. A British ;übjea know: too
well how to respea and obey the laws of his own
country, to offer, intentionally, an outrage on those
of others, when once they are known to be so ; but
I have to observe, the Proclamation you men-

lion to have been issued in May, 1807, I know
nothing of; of that which was issued in May, lriOti,
I have only to say, that so far from bzi:ig either
tt•editable or becoming in the President of a
country, wishing to be ranked amongst th., civi-
lized nations of the world,;: would, in the opinion
of liberal and enlarged minds, hay.; disgraced even
the sanguinary pen of a Robespierre, or the in tat
miserable petty state in Barbary. It apts:ars
that the supposed offence is to be rendered hy a
repetition of the circumstances complained of,
and that on those who, so far from having any
thing to do with the supposed aggression, were not
nen on or near the American coast, at the Om:.
And as Capt. Whitby's trial may, probably, at this
moment he pending, with the concurrence of the
United States, and the Proclam stion resting on his
being brought to justice, it ()light to have been
thought of. However, as my proueding to sea
comes within the Emits of my intentioris, ai:cordiog
to the orders I am under, I shall do so whenever
the pilot thinks proper ; which orders have for their
view the advantage of the American flag, as well
1 as the protection of the British. Bat I must ob-
swim, that the tilficulty I have experienced in ob.
taming a sufficient quantity of water, for the pur-
p,ises 1 with, obliges me to have recourse to such
methods as are completely within my power, which
[ otherwise shorld not have thought of. In the
mean tiny: it is necessary to infOrm you, that His
NlAjzsty's ship under my command, is at all times
r:ady to resist and punish any insult that rug be
offered to the flag she has the honour m hear, to
the last drop of blood that shall remain of the duti-
ful and boy 11 subjects of a beloved Sovereign, ;tad
