" Captain Lloyd presents his compliments to Mr. Dixon :
although not personally acquainted with him, would take it
as a favour, if lie would 'cod him fuer or fish boxes of his
Pills as soon as he possibly can. Mrs. Lloyd, who has always

the great service they have been to Mrs Lloyd, as well as to
Colored Bishop and sillies family, Captain Lloyd feels it his
dusty to recommend the Pills wherever he goes ; he really
thinks, if Mr. Ihzon would appoint some passes as venders
in this count,, it would Ire a benefit to the community."
The Pills are fiend to be an incomparable remedy fir re-

Whether Lord Cochrane thought lie might, with
impunity, endeavour to lower me in the opinion of
my colintry and my Sovereign, sinAinsl marks of
who,. Id Your had at this instenteen exclusively con-
ferred op.rri I *ell—whether his Lordship t bought
Ire could exalt his own repittutiou at the expel's.: of
mute—and whether he expected that his threat
would intimidate itie to silence, I know not. 13ut
if these were lira idea*, I assure inyself, the result
will prove to Trim that they were founded in error ;
for I will never permit any inau to proceed as
Lord Cochrane has done, without sodding my-
self of the moans which the Laws of my coun-
try aff,ird, to *hew the funlity and' injustice
of sit, It hill attack. By the letter of the Se-
cretary of the Admiralty to Lord Coc brine,
after making his undefined accusation against his
Admiral, he excuses himself from explawitrois by a
;orient' reference to the lug and signal-books of the
fleet, without knowing, if I may judge front the
imperfect state of his own log, what that general
reference might produce. Therefore, because he
does nut accord with me in opinion, Lord Cochrane,
whose extent of responsibility has, perhaps, never
exceeded the charge of a tangle ship, and to whom,
iii judgment. I will cot reduce my experience to a
comparison, becomes my accuser; whilst, (torn my
situation, I sin responsible for every act of my fleet,
and for the fate of every ship composing it. lam
NO confident. and I hope it is already evident to the
Court, that Lord Cochrane has no canoe whatever
for accusing me of any deelictiou of duty. that it
might almost be supposed something had occurred
in my personal conduct towards his Lordship,
which had afforded him grounds of dissatisfaction.
The contiary, however, is the fact. More libera-
lity could ant have been shewil than Lord Coch-
roue iece.ved at my hands; and although a coo,i-
derulile degree of disappointment was manifested
throughnat the fleet on his arrival to conduct the
service to be performed by fire-vessels, yet every
Officer in the fleet rendered hint the most steady
isssistance, not only in valuable suggestions, the en-
tire eredit of which seems to have been assumed by
his Lordship, but by every other means that zeal
and courage could afford. Lord Cochrane. on
presenting himself to nee after the actiou, was ge-
neial 111 complaint of the Officers who commanded
the other ships engaged at the same time with him-
self, in the attack oldie enemy ; but having equal
means with his Lordship of Judging of the conduct
of throe officers. I do evere.4hos vs was bight, me-
ntorious. At the time Lord Cochrane made this
general complaint, I had Not the smallest suspi.
ion that there existed in his mind those sentiments
of disapprobation of my conduct, which, by his pro-
ceedings since his return home, I a:n to suppose he
then entertained. It would, in such case, have

been liberal, and, I think, also his duty, to have
made a communieution to me to that effect. I
should then have been enabled to have gnarded,iii
wine measure, against his attack upon toy charac-
ter, on his arrival in England. I scarcely need ob-
serve ill this Court, that however highly courage
M to be valued in an Officer, it is always meow-
plete iti its consequences, without the equal ex-
remise of judgment and discretion ; it being the •
Jetty of a Commander not only to destroy his ene-
my., but to aceomplish that destraction wan the
hest possible loss on his part; aud, I submit to
she Court, whether there ever was a service, which,
woder all eircurtistances, more required the exer-
cise of those qualities than the one in question.
The effect produced exceeded my most sanguine
eipectatione; and, I believe, the expectatioas of
he whole fleet. The points under the considera-
tion of the Court, appear to be the following :
Whether the lapse of time betweeu the discovery
in the morning of the enemy's ships being on shore,
mid the attack, was riot, under all circumstances,
obeoltitely necessary for the edvautageous accom-
plishment of the intended service;--whether it was
mot my duty, as Co:nmander-in-Chief, to be go-
verned by a general view of the whole of those cit..
tolvostancet.rather than yield to the suggestions of
ewe. and that a very junior officer ;—and whether an
earlier attack would have been attended with greater
advantages ;--ei a short, was there net accomplished,
at the tune the attack was made, all that could at
any time have been effected. It is insupport of these
propositions, 1 undertake to show, as indeed is al-
ready in evidence before you, that had I not delayed
sendrog in time ships to the attack until the time
I did, the loss of ships, and of the lives of valuehle
seamen, would, in the opinion eV all the officers of
the fleet, have amounted to a large proportion of
the force so employed. And yet it mews, that I
am now represented us deserving of censure, fur
having prevented that wanton destruction: but I
am satisfied the Court will, by the result of their
investigation, find, that not • sinter additional ship
of the enemy would have been destroyed by a mote
early adoption of those measures which it is un-
voted to me I delayed or neglected. I shall now
proceed to the direct matter of inquiry soil charge,
to which my letter to the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty, of the 10th of May, partly applies.
This letter was written ou my being informed that
my public dispatch of the 14th of April haul been
couturiere(' as nut sufficiently explanatory ; bet
!WO that letter liPores shirt of what has now be-
come necessary to seined to the Court, put as I
am on my defence. I will venture here to tepees*
my firm conviction, that, Jeering the whole period
which is the subject of inquiry, and more particu-
larly iset the very day lin which I am char4ed with
• dereliction of duty, it will lie found by this flo-
liouralile Court, that, in the previous arrangement.
I exerted the utmost faculties of my mind to pre-
veut any circumstance 'seeping me which fore-

unavoidable necessity of following my orders, which
in such • a event distinctly directed me to detach
the senior erg 'Geer, with such force we I 'nigh&
conclude was eqqpl to the enemy : and to return
myself to Carinthia Bay for further orders. I ae-
coidingly detached Sir John Duckworth, with eight
sail of the line and a frigate, in purstr.t of this
French fleet, on the course pointed out in their
Lordahips orders before referred to, which left ins
with the Caledonia alone, in the mortifying stunts

of the line and to frigate., previously lying in the

the Admiralty, I received orders freest their

Q. 1 Lid pm any conversation with Lord Coch-

Q. Dill he give his opinion as to the accuracy or
inaccuracy of them, and what did he itay ?—A. I

ship stated, they were eight or • miles from

hud hewn ascertained by angle as well us by cross-
hearings upon the chart ; his Lordship replied, the
chart was not to he depended upon; he marked the
sititatioti of the fieets upon the client ; the French
were in the habit of 'narking a smaller space

D'Aix Nu, lie did tot; he reported the west
end of the battery to be in a state of rubbish ; it
was visible from the fleet that it was new forming,.
The west end pointed towards the Doyen.
Lord thnobier stated, that, from the peculiar
eirt•umstances under winch Sir EI. Nettle stood, rand
from the great intimacy that existed between his
Lordohip and Sir H. Neale, he did not thick it
necessary to tisk him any further questions. Lord
Gambier then delivered the following paper into

" MR. PRESIDENT—Previous to my withdrawing yester-
day from this place, I intimated an intention of closinz my
defence and evidence, and this I did front respect to the
Court, being a to engage mire of tLeir time than 1 con-
ceived to be iicees,ary ; satisfied that every material point
of the charge had been folly refuted, But as all the. Ca-
ptains debt in shire squadron bore Men before the Cuts. t,

gence so mach further, as to call in these Officers, to put to

on shore upon the Pallas Shoal, and which after-
werils got otr. at any time iii a position to be attack-
ed, 1 mean from the depth of water that surrounded
them ?—A. There were two ships afloat prior to
the frigatm going in. and the enemy's 3-decker on
shore and uprlght. with their broadside* to the en-
trance of the auchorage ground of the Isle of Aix ;
the three enemy's ships on shore appeared to me
not to be in a position to admit of en attack on
them by any of the British ship..
Q. Was every excrtion 'unite, according to your
judgment and observation, by every ship moil v•-s-
-sel sent in to the attack of the euesny ?—A. To the
best of my judgment, every exertion was made by
the British ships and vessels.
Q. Under all the circumstances of the wind and
tide, did it appear to you, on the morning of the
12th of April, when the enemy's ships were on
shore, and the 'pieced hail been suede that half the fleet
could destroy them, that there was on toy part any
neglect or unnecessary delay to take any effectual
measures to destroy them ?—A. I do not kuow of

Q. hid the Beagle appear to yap to be so far
advanced towards the enemy as the depth of water
would admit her to be ?—.l. Nut having 'wooded
•at uuy distance between the Unicornand the es,. my, •
I cannot say whether the depth of water would have
admitted the Beagle to have closed more with the
enemy.

struction of the enemy's ship% until they had re-
m.•veafentirely out of their reach A. From the
1:lth of April, until the Unieura's leaving Basque
Roads, I hove
no reason to suppose there was any
want of exertion on the part of the brigs and ves-
sels; for three or four successive days, the brigs and
vessel, continued firing on the ern 01)'s ships.
Q. Did it not at times. during that period, blow

Q. Were une of there in a sitiettiou which conk!

gates tied smaller remelt, then with the squadron?—
A. The smaller vessel* attacked the Ocean on 'het
morning, hot I do not think the frigates could have
nerompottied them to the attack.
Q. Was the (Wax the only ship within reach of
their attack ?—A. The Ocean was the neire4 ship.;

writ on shore under Femme, and could be approativ-

the 13th To the best of my reeoilection, till
about four iu the aftrruoott, when they worked op
to the anchorage of the Imperieuse and
Q. IM you know why they did not continue
their attack longer ?—A. They came hack with
the ebb title, which had ebbed considerably before
they weighed.
Q. Did you understand they returned in conee-
sterietice of the shoulness of the water ?—A. From
the number of times the small vessels went in to
the utteck of the ships on shore in the river, I may
be mi• taken about the Elsie bomb bavitig grounded
an tbe 13th; but I think her having done so, °caw
farmed the return of the vessels bite the anchorage
where the Impericuse and Pains were lying.
Q. Was the Ocean, on the 14111, in the situation
in which she was attacked on the 13th ?—A. She
was, until four o'clock in the efternoon.
Q. Was she attacked again on the 14th ?-.A.
No, she was not ; the tide would not admit of vets-
eels going in before four o'clock.
