DRFENCE OF CAPTAIN JESS,
01 THE BOYAL noose GUARD* (BLUE).
Haile Park Barracks, Arpteveber
This morning, at ter, o'clsck, the Corot again
assembled, pursuant to their adjournment boot
when Captain John Jelsh entered the
Cowl. accomuanied by Counsel end several
fneods, arid was shout perparint; for his addrera to
the Court, when the JUDGE ADVOCATE iiitimeted
tlvit Colonel Drake wished to address the Court
Upon a subject connected with the circumstatice of
the objection made to him as a Member, on the
former sitting, end a report of the proceedings
which lied appeared in some of the daily Papery;
he, therefore, submitted whether Coluorl Drake
▪ tint be called in for the purpose.
Colonel Dm, was SWIIINI iii. and producing s
respectable /doming Paper, distinctly dt•ay.twed''
his hewing ever expressed any opinion ou the charges
now before the Court. and with much eansestmiss
asked if; after having taken a solemn oath, it could
be suppnaed he would be affected by it ?
The JUDGE A DIFOCATS stated, that it was impos-
sible any imputation could lie against the Colonel,
hut this was out of the inconveniences attending the
publication of proceedings before they were ended.
Cu main Jebb, with the very forcible manner re-
mai ked before. here wilted Colonel Drake whether
he had nut made observations to him in the
Raliog-
house on nue of the charge*, which *hewed hr had
already decided his opinion on the whole ?
Colonel Drake made uo reply.
Colonel Hill then desired to be ?monied, mid
eo, ea well as the Quartermaster and Adjutant,
but nothing material occurred.
Captain Jebb then rose, rod requested that his
Counsel might be permitted to read his address, as,
from some steterliiiretiwis, it W4S ineunveutent for
him to di, it.

A long discussion took place, when Capt. iebb
read it himself, as follow. :
Colonel, president, and Gentlemma of this Honourable
Court—l shall not detail, you by prefatory observations

Scuts Gaye, and nearly 15 year. is the Illues, with peculiar

On the 10th of last moat I was ordered to attend Sir

Captain Jebb then observed. that something was

" hasten to eommuuirale to you the news which we have
just received from M. Vitali, Captain of a ship, who came
trum Sprssia here is 18 days, and from Napoli di Romania

which have been spread for a few days of the admire and
progress of the Turkish army iu the Pelopourresus. We
were still muse disquieted by blowing that the Turkish
consistisr of 80 sail, and amoug them ale ships of the liar,
23 frigates and corvettes, bad arrived off the Peloponnese;
sad had on board Turkish-Egypiiau troops.

triumphed over the barbarians! The Turkish troops disem-
barked is the Mores, and without meeting any rrsirtance

" The few troops of the Hellenism retreated, burning and
destroying every thing, in .order that the enemy might find no

ceive succour from the Turkish garrison of Napoli di
(tor people, who assembled all the warriors iu the
Morrie, as mom as possible, pressed the enemy on all sides,
and heat him in I trilliag affairs.
" The Tusks, distressed by hunger and anxiety, could not
wait fur succour from Napoli di Romauls, which had already
capitulated, though it was not yet in the beech of our peo-
ple, and cumaseuced their retreat. In the Belle of Saint
George, between Curiuth and Argos, the Greeks came up
with the fenny, and in fin they had previously caused the
pass to be occupied; lie was completely defeated; mid him
all leis baggage and •mmunitioa. The remainder of the
Tacks retired in dmorder to Corinth. Chiaga Bey, Ailju-
laal-G I of Cllostrachid Pacba, perished in this combat,

that all the dead bodies of the roomy at Argus, and in the
ueighbourbood, should be burned, is order that the sir might
not be rendered impure.
" The Greek. have preserved roily Turks of distinct ion as
hostages, fur the surreurkr of Napoli di Romania ; the son
of the Pans of this town is One of them. The OrPeeimis
having left off furnishing the Turks in Napoli with provi-
eiors frum the time the enemy entered the referee, and the
Teskish garrison having beard of the defeat of their coun-
trymen, the city will now be delivered to the Greeks accord.

" Our fleet, consistmg of 60 sail from the three islands,
and 23 fire-ships, was ready to sail iu search of the enemy's
Beet; and though the latter is stronger than our fleet, we
hope to succeed in destetryiug it. May God kelp as! Odys-

" According to letters from Bitoells, it appears that he

with considerable lose to Larissa. The Greeks have retaken
Caioandra. and the Turks have constructed sew euireuch-
meuts round the tows of Weenies.

" Our affairs go out ecually well in Epirus, but in cone,.

The corps of the Russian army commanded by
Count Vt'oronsoff mill remains stationary in the
got•erument of Volhyttia, dose to the Austrian fron-
tier.. Sometime ego it was reported that this Ge-
neral had requested leave to retire, but it seems
now to be certain that he will retain the command.
People connect this circumstance with revolutions
which they conjecture will probably be adopted at
the Congrem,i 17ith rygsrd to those cottetriee where
the stole of thins. has bet. yet attained that drigree
of sol•dity which- the Illustrious patificatete desire

to be every *bare confirmed for the general good of
Europe. Hot this is much in need of confirmation.
Accouots from Moldavia cannot paint in suffi-
ciently gloomy colours the situation of Jassy. The
finest palaces have fallen a prey to the flames,
alto the richest churches and monasteries, among
the latter in particular the file monaitery Goha,
where the Aqueduct seas. Of the 8,000 houses
which the city formerly contained, scarcely the
fourth part remains. The Turkish troops have Dot
yet left the Principalities. The new Prince of
Moldavia is said to have been murdered on the
road.

MADRID AND BAYONNE PAPERS.
BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 19.
We have this iastaut received a letter from Sa-
ragossa of the I Ills, which says, " The affairs of
Catalonia have taken a serious turn, especially since
the establishment of the Regency at Urgel, which
has been extremely retire fur this month past. If
we may believe its proclamations, the reports it
circulates, &c. its object is not to re.establish the.
Inquisition, absolute power, the suppressed convents,
&c. but to substitute for the present institutions
others which should be more in harmony with the
rights of the Monarch, the religion, and the man-
ners of his subjects. The Catalonian army begins
to be organised, and has already three divisions of
5,000 men each, tolerably armed and clothed, and
disciplined in the French manner. The first acts
in Campredon and L'Amperadan, and observes
Gerona, Feguirres, and the port of Rossi, hav-
ing seized on that of St. Felice de Luixol,
where they committed a thousand excesses in con-
sequence of the resistance of the inhabitants ; the
second occupies the district of 'Moores* and Vich,
and the cavalry advances even to the environs of
Barceloua; the third occupies Agramant, and is
said to have at this moment made itself master of
Cervera and Tarrege, having repulsed General
Toreijoe towards Lerida. A certain force oc-
cupies Mequineliza,• while others are at Bala-
quer, alarming Lerids, and fomenting civil war
on the sides of the Ebro, in Armpit. The
Royalists of Balaquer are in communication
with Quesada and the Trappist, who were at Moo-
son ou the 7t/i, already making part of the army of
Cetalunis, by virtue of orders from the Janta at
Urgel. The reinforcements received by the Con-
stitutional troops at Leticia have been almost
wholly absorbed to defend Arrsgon against the
progress of the Royalists in that province. Mina
was still at Lerida on the Gth, waiting for the pro-
mised reinforcements. The Catalonians have also
succeeded in sending some guerillas into Valencia,
by way of Tortesa, in which province they are
pretty numerous; whence it is feared that their
plan is to make themselves masters of the coast
of Catalonia, frees the mouth of the Ebro to Roses.
They even speak of the approaching equipment of
sone ships of wet by command of the Junta at
Urgel, for the porpoise of blockading Barcelona,
