SATURDAY, Ftintuare q.
We have received New York Papers to the 13th
of January. Upon the 2d, Judge CHasi appeared
before the High Court of Impeachment, to answer
the charges brought against him; when he moved
for time until the first day of next Session, to
prepare his defence, which was negatived upon a
division by 18 against 12. A subsequent motion was
then made for th,, 4th of February, and carried by
a majority of 13 to 3. He introduced his Motion
by a long and speech, in which he complained,
thy the matters charged were of above four years
standing; that he had for 16 years sustained a high
judicial charther ; and that those who now assailed
his name and reputation, were " puling in their
narse's arms" at the time when he was contributing
his utmost aid to lay the ground-work of American
independence. He was frequently interrupted dur-
ing this speech by Mr. Bute, who presented upon
this occasion the extraordinary case of a man thing
in the same country as President upon the trial
of a Judge, at the very time two men were
found guilty, as accessaries to a murder, in which
he was the untried principal. We allude to the trial
of W. P. VAS Ness, and NATHANIEL PLIdOLETutir
b.sqrs. who have been severally tried and convifted,
at the sittings of the Supreme Court, holden at New
York, of being seconds in the duel between Mr.
Buse and General 11 A ILTON.

The New York Papers also contain an official ac-
count of the proceedings of the American squadron
in the Mediterranean, down to the I Sth of Septem-
ber, from which it appears that little or no impres-
sion had been then made upon Tripoli, and that the
efforts for that purpose had been attended saith
considerable loss on the part of the Americans.
Letters from Cape Francois state, that the Hayti in
army, headed by Drssa tiNts, were plepating to
march to attack the City of St. Domingo in the
latter end of last month. We regret the necessity
which we are under of postponing Judge CHASE'S
speech,—the official accounts from the American
Squadron in the Mediterranean, and other enter-
taining news in the New York Papers, until Monday.

We have' the pleasure to announce the safe ar-
rival off Pottsmouth, of the follcuing valuable
East India ships :

Llvex, Gpaln Gcorgo Bonham ; slphipatane, Captain
MJliken Craig; Anna, Captain Price—.from glorntuy.

Woodford, Captain Martin, from China; flog% Inglis,
Captain Fairfax, from Bengal—last from Prince of Wales
bland.

The whole of the above ships sailed from St.
Helena the 11th of December ; three slays prior to
which, the Nort4ampten and Glory had sailed from
the Island for England; their arrival here may
therefore be hourly expeOed.
The lisp's !nobs. having met with considerable
damage, put into Prince of Wales's Island. where
she remained three months to repair ; and the
ford, arriving there soon after from China. *merle.
tamed to assist in the repair, and to convoy her to
St. Flelena. They sailed from Prince of Wales's
Island on the 10th of August, at which time, the
Island was in a very flourishing condition ; many
of the ship's crew, that were sick on their arrival,
sown:recovered, from the salubrity of the climate;
