not only prevent( d from pursuing the enemy, but obligee
to retire to his former 'amnion. It was ascrtaired free

that the small pox and dysentry had conimitkd very cot-

This morning arrived his Majesty's sloop of war the
Driver, Captain Charles Bowel), from the Caul of Atria,
where she had been two years and a half employed, donee
which reriod the captured 500 slaves, although lately ha
seevicca had been partly directed from that object, by Care.
Bowen having been entrusted by the late Sir Robert Mends
with the naval protection of all our settlements on the GM
Coast, wWch were menaced with destruction by the kne
ef Ashantee. These &messes having been put keels the
bast possible state of defence, and the Driver provieg ill a
had state, she was orthe cd to England, without }win;) pc-
lieved. Commodore Bullen, in the Maidstone, had amend
at Cape Coast (which place the Driver left on May 99),
and was refittiag.—The squadron continued healthy, sal
was tiros stationed :—the Maidstone and Swinger remain
on the Gold Coast, to assist the forts in the pending muted
with the Ashuntees; the Bann, to Gambia and Portendi.l,
to protect the gum trade and the interests of the militants
in that Quarter ; the Victor, cruising in the ',lights of
Benin and Biafra, against he Slave Traders; the Oats
(;!entlower, gone to Prince's Island to water, end to proced
thence to England, ri.i Ilarbadoes.—Captain Woolcome,n
the Bann, fell in with and captured In March last a lye
Portuguese brig from Lagos, Called the Bon Caniiaha
having :Go slaves on board, who had subsequently been all
ernancipattel at Sierra Leone. This is the only eau
vessel which has been captured since the death of Sir R.
Mends; but the inhwnan traffic was carrying ou with ache
inguese anti effrontery unequalled for some years, metope
the BraziPtai States (that great mart for slaves) declamie
thcnrsehviceifree, and the trade being sanctioned by the fee
vermeent. Daily skirmishes were taking place between the
Ashantresf and the Fantees, which generally ended toile
!disadvantage of the latter. There is little doubt but they
will, ere I ong, he driven under the guns of the &ink
Forts, aril be compelled to abandon their country to their
enemies. An action was fungi* within ten miles efeem
('oast, he twcen about 10,00) Ashat4ees and oor 'K
Fanteesoassisted by a few white tangs, and a destine
of the :al %I'est India Regiment, commanded by Boa
i'hishelut. Lieut. Meg of the Driver, who was oa the
field of battle, and who was wounded on this occasion,
says, that the Ashauteca were defeated, and Civet bark a
considerable distance. This success was, no doubt, win;
to the exertions of Major Chishohn, and the regain %Kee
under his orders. The next day,. however, intelligence
was received Cali the King at Ashantee, with a powelfsi
army, was within three day's' march of Anamabeo. Tle
caused the Fantces to disperse, and no entreaties of lb
English ewninander of the fortes could induce them to in/
the field. hi the mean time the armies of the Ashanti
are laying waste the country in all directions. The**
lions of Indian corn, yams, plantains, and bananas, OA
form the food of the inhabitants, have been entirely do
stroved ; and the remaining Fantees, who may ha hatunnt
enough to estop; the sward, will, to all appearance, rig
next year by famine. John Tasker Williams, Es q., set*

THE ASHANTRE WAR.

A copy eV the testament of the late Emperor Napoleon,
which is deposited in Doctor's Commons, has just been
publialted. In the preface to this document, it is stated
that not more than two days before Napoleon's death he
dictated to Count Montholon the letter to he delivered to
Sir Hudson Luce, announcing his decease, leaving a space
for the inser:ion of the day and hour of his dissolution.
We give the following extracts from this interesting do-
cumi•nt

Narot...tist.
This 16th April, 1821, at Longwood, Island of St. Helena. This
is my testament. or set of my last will.
1 die in the apostolical Roman religion. in the bosom of which I
was horn, more than fifty years since.
It is my wish that my ashen may repose on the banks of the
'Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved
so well.
I I have always had reason to be pleased with my dearest wife,
Marie Louise. I nerin fur her, to my last moment. the most,
'tender sentiments—l beset ch her to wed:, in order to preserve my
sun from the snares which yet envirmi his infancy.
I recommend to my son, never to forget that he was born a French
Prince, and never to allow himself to become an instrument in the
hands of the triumvlrn who oppress the nations of Europe; he
ought never to light against France, or to injure her in any MSA-
ncr ; he ought to adopt my motto :—" Every thing fur the French
people."
I die prenatirely, asumsinated by the English oligarchy ar.d
ib • • •. The English nation will not be slow in aveng.

ing me.
The two unfortunate results of the invasions of France, when
she had still so many resources, are to be attnbuted to the treason
of filarrnotit, Anaeresu, Talleyrand, and La Fayette.
I forgive than--may the poatery of France forgive them like mo.
I thank my good and moat excellent mother, the Cardinal. trt•
brothers Joseph, Lucien, Jerome, Pauline, Caroline, Julie, floe.
tense, Catmint-, Eugene, for the interest which they have con..
tinned to feel ler me. I pardon Louis fur the libel wlti it he pull.
lisped In ION: it is replete with false assertions and falsified do.
aliments. _ _

I disavow the " Manuaeript of St. Helena." and other works,
under the title of Maxima, gayiNgs itc., which persons have been
pleased to publish for the last six years. These are not the rules
Which guided my life. I caused the Due d'Enghien to be arrested
and tried, because that step was esmemial to the safety, interest, and
honour of the m'rench people, when the Count d'Artois was main.
taining, by his eimfession, sixty iv/Resides at Paris. Under 'Under
circumstances, I would act in the came way.
I bequeath to my aim the bales, orders, and other articles ;
such as my plate, lield-bed, saddles, spurs, dispel plate, Inokss
linen, which I have been accustomed to wear and use, assonling to
the list annexed. It is my wish that this slight bequest may be
dear to him, as recalling the memory of a father, of whom the
univer a will discourse to him.
I bequeath to lady Holland the antique. Cameo which Pope
Pius I'l. gave me at Tolemino.
After specifying a number of inilivialuala (principally
officers of the French army) to whotn legacies are given,
Napoleon proceeds :
These sums will be raised from the six millions which I de-
posited on 'cavil! Paris in 11313; and front the interest at 'aerate
of five percent. since July. Ittlfi. Thew: own will be settled with
the banker by Counts 3lontholon, Bertrand, and Marchand:
Whatever that deposit may produce beyond the sum of five mil.
bon six hundred thousand trines, which have been abov• &noosed
of, shall be distributed as a gratuity amongst the wounded at the
lbattle of Waterloo, and amongst the officers and 'oldie's of the bat-
talion of the Isle of Elba, according to a Seale to be deter mined
upon by 3luntholon, Ikrtrand, Drown, Carnbtune, and the surgeon
Imarrey.
Thetis legacies, in case of death, shall be paid to the widows
and children ; and in default of such, shall revert to the bulk of
my PruPrely.
Sly private domain being my property, of which no French law
deprives me that I am aware of, an account of it will lie required
from the Baron de la Bouillere, the tteasurer thereof ; it ought to
amount to more than 200,0110,900 of francs, mmiely—l. The port-
folio containing the savings which I made during fourteen years out
of my civil list, which amounted to more than 12.9110.000 per an-
num, if my memory be good. 2. The produce of this port-folio.
3. The filmdom of my palaces such as it was in 11114, including
the palates of Home, norenee, and Turin. All this furniture was
purchased with monies accruing from the civil list. 4. The pro-
eeeds of my hooves In the kingdom of Italy, such as money, plate,
jewels, furniture, equipages ; the accounts sill be rendered by
Prince Eugene and the steward of the crown, Campagnoni.
NAPOLEON.
I bequeath my private domain. one.half to the surviving officers
and soldier of the French army who have fought since 1792 to 1813,
for the glory and the independence of the nation. The distribu-
tion shall b: made in Proportion to Moir Appointments upon active
service. One half to the towns and district* of Alsace, of Lorraine,
ttf Franche Coosa, of Burgundy, of the Isle of France, of Cham-
pagne Forest. Hatiphne, which may hare suffered by either of the
invasions. There shall be previously deducted from this nom one
million for the town of Brienne, and one million for that of Meri.
I appoint Counts Illontholoo, Bertrand, and 3larchand. the exe-
cutor* of my will.

A number of other articles are also directed to be given
to young.Napoloon, on his attaining the age of sixteen
years.
A codicil, dated Longwood, April 24, 1821, begins
thus :

Out of the settlement of my civil list of Italy, such u money,
jewels, plate. linen, equipages, of which the viceroy is the depo.
sitiwy, and which belonged to me, I dispose of two millions, which
I bequeath to my most faithful servrots. I hope that, without act-
ing upon the credit of any account, toy son Eugene Napoleon will
pay them faithfully. Ile cannot forget the forty millions which I
gave him in Italy, and in the distribution of the inheritance of his
mother. _

Extract from the fourth codicil :
This 3Jth of April. 1821. Longwood.
By the dispositions which we hive heretofore made, we have not
fulfilled all our obligations, which has decided us totuake this
fourth codicil.

We bequeath to the son or grandson of Damn Detheil, Lieu-
tenant-General of Artillery, and formerly Laird of St. Andre, who
commanded the school of Auxonne before the Revolution, the sum
(done hundred thousand francs, as a memento of gratitude for the
care which that brave General took of us when we were Lieutenant
and Captain under his orders.
To the con or grandson of General Dugomier, who commanded
in Olathe army of Toulon, the sum of one hundred thorisand
francs. We under his orders directed that siege, rind commanded
the artillery : it is • teatinionial of remembrance for the marks of
' esteem, of affection, and of friendship, which that brave and in- ,
trepid General gave to us.
We bequeath one hundred thousand francs to the son or grand_
sot. of the Deputy of the Convention, Gasperin, representative of
the people at the any of Toulon, for having protected and sanc-
tioned with his authority the plan which we had given, which pm..
cured the capture of that city, and which was contrary, to that sent j
by the Committee of Public Safrly. I iassparin placed us, by his
protection. under shelter from the persecution and ignorance of the
general officers who commanded the army before the arrival of my
friend 11m...under.
We bequeath one hundred thousand francs to the wi-
dow, son, or grandson of our Aid-de-Camp Illuiron, killed at our
side at Arcola, covering its with his body.
Ten thousand francs to the subaltern officer Cantillon.
who has undergone a trial, upon the charge of having endeavoured
to assasinate Lord Wellington, of which he was pmrounml inno-
I cent. Cantillon bad Sc much right to assassinate that olirreciu,t,
as the latter had to send me to perish upon the nick of St. Nerves.
Wellington, who proposed this outrage, attaliv&t.l to justify hint.
self by pleading the interest of Great Britain. l'antilloo, it he had
' really assassinated that Lied, would have excused himself, and have
been justified by the same motives, the interest afFrance, to get rid
of a General, who, moreover, had violated the capitulation of ['lris,
' and by that had rendered himself responsible for the blood of the
martyrs Vey, habedoyere. &c.; and for the crime of having pillaged
I the museums, contrary to the text orate treaties.

A fifth says—
•• rpon the fonds remitted in gold to the Empress Marie
Louise, my very dear and well-heltived spouse. at Orleans. ir. 1414,
she remains in my debt two of which I dispose by the
presont codicil, for the purpose of recompensing my most faithful
servants, whom moreover 1 recommend to the protection of my
dear Marie Louise." _ _

The Englishman sherra his high opir.ion of his country by

But then, they are ao much alike ; or rather, there are indivi-

Englishmen who would rar at y where for Ante:icans. lu
hart and head they are much snore alike than in appearance or

...
An Engllahman, alien abroad, la reserved, cautious, often quite
insupportable, and when frank, hardly ever talkative: not very
hasty, but a little iplarrelsome nevertheless: turbulent, and rather
overhearing, partirularly upon the Continent. At home, ha is

But the American is quite the reverie. Abroad he is tolksuivc,

The Englishman's temper is more hsrdy and resolute, that of the
American more intrepid and liwry. The former has more pittieni,
snit timitude, the latter more ardour. The Engli.hmun is Hoer
discouraged, though without MOO ITC'S the American is user

An American woman is more childish, more attractive, and
more perishabie: the English woman is of a healthier mind, more
dignified and more durable. The former is a flower, the latter a
plant: one sheds perfume, the other sustenance. The Engl'ih

eloquent, feeling. hasty, and thoughtful; great deslcrs iu the super.

like their eloquence, is rich, riotous, and timid ; while that of the
Americans is noire vehement, argumentative, sod concentrated.
The declamation of the American is often solemn and affecting—
often too dry fur endurance, generally too cold and chaste fur en-

the kind within the nunnery of any living person. There was

with the intrnial arrengements of She house in which the robbery

with an oath, 'i where is the motley ?" Ile said •'• what istooey ?"
The men said, with en oath. " None of your nonsense;
tell me where she runty is, or I'll blow your brains out." The
1 same mum proceeded immediately to the chest in the room. which he
1 broke open, and there they found a honey of upwirds of Wine:. which
they select!. I)uring this time Mrs. Haines had rung the alarm
bell fur aesietatice; and just as the robber. bad secured the money
the door bell rang, Imo* which they took the alarm, and imme-
diately made their retreat. On their way they encountered three
fuming tote, in the service of Earl Caliper, who being roused by
the alarm-bell, conic to the house. A struggle, which occupied a
considerable length of time, took place; blows were exchanged,
but eventually the thieves got s leer off, after wounding their assail-
ants. It wneld appear that the thieves had, by means of a ladder,
entered the house at a dressing-mom window, which communicated
with the passage into which Mr. Ilaitiee's bed-morn opened. There
Icing no doubt of the fact of the rubbery, the important question
was, whether the prisoners now at the bar were any of the parties
cor.cerned. Of that there would be as little doubt. Mr. tisanes,
his wire, and their son, could speak positively to me or other of
the prisoners. Young Haines would speak with certainty to the
wan who presented the pistol at him; and Mr. and Mrs. Haines
had abundant opportunity of seeing and marking the men, whilst
they were in their bad-room. The prisoner, Oasis had, at the
time of the robbery, a slight fresh wound on hie hand, which
Will then bleeding. This man had opened is chest of drawer%' in
i which were some cambric hendkerchscfs, and In putting his hand
in he stained .me of the hansikerchteti with his blood. When after.

It would Ise proved, that shortly after the robbery, two carts, with
two men in -each, ;mimed through Cole Omen turnpike.gste, ap-
parently in greet haste. The toll was eight-pence only ; but they
gave the collector two sixpences, and pnweetlesi without the change.
Nu doubt whatever would remain as to the identity of the prisoners,
because other circumstances would 'hew that Mr. and Mrs. Haines
could not be niistaken, making every allowance foe the alum and
agitatthn which they must necessarily have experienced on such an
occasion. It would be easy to Ince the notes and other snooty
eremitic. which had been stolen. At resent, however,_ there was,
no neneekn w Ofirosoy eetdence to eiser."-Iltreafur such
evidence might he necessary. At merest it would he ssidcient to
stew that the prisoners were the actual perpetrators of the crime.
When the prisoners were apprehended, certainly no cart of the
bemoony stolen was found upon them t and they would have the
nefit of that circumstance if it would at all avail them, lithe
Jury should be satisfied that all C.I. any of the prisoners were coo-
cen.eil in the robbery, they mutt act upon the evidence, and dia.
charge their duty to the country tearlessly.
The following witnesses were then called :-.•
Mr. John Haines, jun. (a led of about fifteen, of very weak and
sickly appearance), deposed, that on the night al the 11th June he
went to beet about half-past ten; his chamber was next to his

one of the men said " Hush et the door." Ore of the men called

Mr. Annartirs with whom was Mr. CHITTY and Mr.
AllMamas' suited the plaintiff's case to the Jury, and called
moral witnesses, who stated in substance as follows:
The plaintiff had been in business as a corn-dealer, but had re-
died from trade, and had fur some years lived upon his fortune at
Bushy, in this county. The defendant was a J uglier of Peace, and
a gentlenian of property and respeetebily residing at Watford, also

mangle, without any complaint being made, or any restraint laid
yen them for enduing. The plaintiff, a ho was much attached to
. lip sport of angling, had been for sonic years in the habit of assort_
!
i be to thin pond, for the purpose of pursuing his favourite amuse-
ment. and had never been interrupted in his sport. On the 18th
' of May. 1822, the plaintiff being engaged in his usual manner.
'standing upon the public bridge which crossed the pond, was ap.
poached by two persons in a ore-hone chaise, one a butcher,
named Ikakin. nephew of the gaoler at St. Alban's, and the other
1 a con-table of Watford, rained Henry Simmons. The latter got
out of the cart, and peothicing a warrant, said to the plaintiff;
„Come. 11r. Wickes, you must go with tie; I hare • warrant to
apprehend you, and I must 'runic...Hatt take pm belnre a klacis-
trate.' "A warrant to apprehend me, replied the plaintiff; " fur
what ?" Simmons answered. " %Pity for fishing here." He then
opened and read the warrant to the plaintiff. It was duly signed
and sealed by the defendant, and was directed " to the constablo,
of Bushy, and to Henry Simmons especially. stating; that complaint
had been made that plaintiff had taken and destroyed, or attempted

They then drove through Watitud, and to the house of the de-
fendant. Upon arriving there, and inquiring for the defendant
they were informed that he was not then at liberty, and a delay
of halt' on hoar took place, after which tlikpartits were ushered
into the juvticemeem, where they found the defendant, the :ion.

of Lord Churchill, at the have of Wychwoud, la the parialsof

Mr. Justice Pan IL stated to the Jury that this case was likely to
occupy a great portion of their time, he tberefort recommended
them to retire for a quarter of an hour, sad site refreshment, be-
fore it commenced.

The Jury thanked his Lordship, and having done so and re-
turned into Court, the prisoners were placed at the Dr. They
, were both dressed in drab coats, light bat waistcoats, and cordu-
roy breeches. The younger prisoner appeared quite uttembarraseed,
•the elder was a little agitated.
I On the Jury being tmpannened, three of them were objected to
on the part of the Crown, and they retired, and three others were
called. The prisoners pleaded Not lissilsy.
i Maps and plans 9f the place where the 'tinnier was perpetrated
were produced by the Conned of the Crown ; they were very large,
and nearly covered the Counsel table. Mr. Justice Pork, pre-
vious to the trial, examined them very 'irefully.
Mr. TAUNTON, the King's Counsel, opened the proueution.
He avid the prisoners stood changed aids the must serious offence sot

ticulars of this ante charge before them, be warned then, against

be then their province to say if the prisoners at the bar. or
either of them, had committed this murder; and if he should lay
before them such evidence as mail leave no doubt on their

pronounce them guilty. The deceased was seanionally employed
as an assistant keeper In Wychwood Forest. On the liith ut June

about twenty minutes. This waa about eight o'clock. In ten mi.

' bit ; and it would be important for the Jury to pay every attention
to the evidence of the person who tired this gun. In ten mi-

COURT OF CHANCERY, SATURDAY, JULY 31.

REEK V. W.tRD. !
This important and lorg litigated case has at kmgth terminated,
by an arrangement between th.- parties. The question which
regards the legitimacy or illegitimacy of one of the pantes has
been in ehancery for twenty years, and the sums of money ex-
pended in the wit are nearly incalculable.
Mr. HART stated, that the defended, Mr. Ward, had at length
consented to-withdraw his claim a. htir-at-law, and also the is-
charge of the receiver upon the estates.
The Login CHANCELLOR expressed his satisfaction that the
care had been so amicably terminated by the agreement of both
parties:. It reminded hint of an arrangement which had beet oree
made between two litigants.. Two nom had been barged, and the
question was which expired first ; after much litigation, they very
wisely settled the matter betwten -,heinselees.

• ASSAULT AT SEA.
GALE v. ate env ree•
Mr. fillets read the declaration, *lnch set forth that the plain.
Offen a seaman tam board the Vansittart East India ship, anti the
defendant the Captain of' her. The charge was, that the Captain
had assaulted and imprisoned the plaintiff without cause; and the
plea of the defendant was, that the plaintiff had been drunk, riotous,
and mutinous.
31r. Guit N EY stated the ease to the Jury. lie admitted that It
was of great importance to the commercial interests of the cou::try,
that proper subordination should be preserved among seamen ; but
it was of equal importance that the latter chat' Id be protected front
arbitrnry and unjustifiable severity. The plaintiff was, by the ac-
cidenof birth, a black man, and it would seem that the Captain
! was unfavourably disposed to his colour. On the voyage home front
China, Last April, the plaintiff's grog was stopped by some of the
officer., but restored on complaint to the Climatal, which was a proof
• that the deprivation was not warranted. 'lite Captain, however,
seemed displeased at the time, and remarked to the poor black
man, " Look sharp office yourself, for the very first complaint 1
hear against you I shall punish you properly." Now tile Jury
knew, that when a man with authority gave such an intimation,
he would not be long without making a cause to give the necessary
effect to his intentions. So it ass here, for the Captain shortly
after, in calm weather, rowed on board the IVellington, another
ship in company, to dine; and the. plaintill' was one of the boat's
crew appointal to go on this: oa-caution—they were, of ceurse, to
wait for the Captain', return in the evening. Atout eight o'clock,
when the men were piped together fur that purpose, owing to some
accident the boat became entangled with ti:e bow ropes of the
' Wellington, which esueed some delay in getting along-side. This
enraged die Captain, who, upon getting into the boat, abused the'
men, particularly (isle, hole% he knocked down; and when they
got ;long-side the Vansittart, he immediately ordered him into ine•s,
with others, who were certainly drunk—the ('attain not only did'
this, but he kept the plaintiff two days in confinement, and then I
Rave him two dozen lashes. although'one of the men who was really
drunk only received a dozen. 'Fee poor man remonstrated with
the Captain upon receiving this punishment, and said that he was
wrongfully pueishell, for he was trot drunk. The Captain replied,
" I am. the best judge." The fact was the reverse—he was not the
beet judge, for lie was at the time drunk himself. The Learned
Counsel enlarged upon the tteecseity of protecting a poor stranger
like the plaintiff from the undue exercise of arbitrary authority,
and *flailing him that recompense which the justice of the case re-
quired, oral supporting the equitable character of a British Jury.—
The first witness,
William Bennett examined.—lfe was a seaman on beard the
defendant's Ent India ship Vansittart, on her last voyage home
from China, and remembered Mr. Suceombe's stopping Gale's grog,
and the complaint to the Captain, who ordered it to be restored.
The next day the Captain ordered Gale to came up to him, and he
saki," the first complaint I hear of you from any otEcer of the ship,
1 will fln% you though it was only five minutes before we leave the
ship at Blackwall." On the 26th of April last, the Captain went
on board the IVellington to dinner. Witness and Gale, and five
[other seamen, rowed him there. IVhen they piped the boat's crew
to row the Captain back, the weather was dark and rainy. Gale
went into the Shen ordered, and he was perfectly sober. They
did not get alongside as ewe as they might, in consequence of
getting foul of the boom rope. IVhen they got round, the Captain
asked if the painter (rope) wag clear of the gray (rope', Gale said
" Yes." The answer was,givep respectfully, hut the Captain jumped
into the boat in a great Panion,and struck Gale with his fist doubled,
and knocked him doWn in the boat. On going on board the Van-
elttart, the Captain knocked down the Coxswain, who was certainly
not sober. The Captain was in liquor, but not to say drunk ; after
hsd got on board the Vansittart, they were all ordered up; one
of the men, Smith, was blind drunk, as well as bowten, (the cox-
swain), Salt,Taylor, and Smith ; Gale lent a hand to hoist the boat
into the ship, and die Captain then tamed orders to send hint into
irons ; when Gale was let out of the irons, the master at arms was
called, and the Captain said he must punish him (Gale) fur
drunkenness ; the plaintiff declared he was not drunk ; the Captain
said " I am the best judge," and desired him to strip ; Gale said,
"Captain you are going to pnnisb me for an old grudge." lie was
then festered up and got 24 Lobes on the naked shoulders and back ;
Taylor had only 12 lashes; Gale was never seen by witness drunk
daring the whole voyage.
Crow-examined.—lle was boat-keeper, and quite sober all day ;
the entanglement of the ropes was accidental ; the duty of the boat's
crew was to remain on board, but they were directed to go on
board the Wellinston to dinner. Gale was the bowman, and the
Captain ordered Brown to take Gale's place, but (isle refused to
give up his oar. They were certainly same time gettingbaek to the
Vansitttirt, and *ere nearly run over by their own vessel. The
Captain sent five of the men from the boat before he ascended into
the ship himself, for being drunk, and Gale was one of them,
though he was not drunk. Four of the men out of seven were
drunk, to row the Captain on a dark night to his own ship. The
boat was in (Imager from the ropes of the Wellington before they
got clear of her.- The Captain steered the boat back. ',omen (cox.
swain) steered her in the tronarg. If the Captain was not drunk
he was deranged ; but he-certainly had four men drunk in the boat.
John Itrown, a ?Taman, Adam Purvis, a joiner, and two others,
corroborated the principal part of the first witness's statement, that
theplaintiff was sober. They did not (except oce) think the Cap-
tah was. • •
• 31r, SCAR LETT, rot the defertiant, said that he would prove to
ehe Jury, that so far from the boat's crew being sober on the night
In question, thee were all drunk, and had twice risked the safety of
the boat in rowing the Captain hack to his own ship. Captain ()al-
tymple had been seventeen years in the service of the East India
Company, and was iecapatie of committing an act of oppression
upon anybody. His balms were those of forbearance, great tern.
peewee, and always proclaiming his abhorrence of drunkenness
among the crew ; so much an that he had personallyleold him, that
if the vice of drunkenness could be banished from seamen, the dis-
cipline of a ship could be carried on with a silken thread. Grog
was always the forerunner of mutiny and inothottlination of every
kind, and the only oflherte which the defendant had ever puniehed
was, in point of fact, drunkenness. The plaintiff', Gale, had on a
former occasion been pardoned for this offerer, and warned against
a repetition of it. On the night in queetion he was the most
drunken of ell, and when the Captain descended into the boat
they were perfectly me itiOt!‘ from intozkottion, and he was hin.eell
I obliged to take the helm from the coxswain, who was tunable to sit
up and steer to the ship. tio drunk were they when thy got alorg-
side the Vaissittra t, that the Captain, instead of ascending first as
was his place, was obliged to remain last, to help up some of these
fellows, who could nut stand when they touched the deck. lye had
said that Gale was the worst of all ; and the feet teas, that when
the offenders were sent below, they all reproached (kale with being
the cause of their punishment by his misceeduct, end tell upon hint
with Ilows, so that it was necessary to separate hint from the rest I
for his better protection. It was true they had heard from Cm
plaintiff's witneesee, that nobody was sober but themselves. The
Jury had, of retiree, often heard that it was one symptom of
drunk-me:an, for a drunkest man to fancy himself sober and all
eronnd dram!:. They had seen tan the stage a fellow reel into com-
pany, and exclaim—" how drunk yell all are!" Ile would de-
monstrate that the Captain was, not sac ly a man of general sobriety,
but that on the night in questien, he had only taken three glasses of
wine. Ile would chew they were all drunk, that they bud put the
boat twice in danger, that their conduct was mutinous, and ti at the
! , punishment was nsensary and moderate. The Jury would then
say, whether he was or was not justified by the course iv hiell he
had pursued far the ration of the ship's discipline.
Francis Bailey, orceesrerof the ship on this voyage, had charge of
the watch on the particular night. and according to his duty went
Ito the gang-way to receive the Captain on board. lie was Nur-
! prised to see the boat's crew come up from the boat fits:. Gale
was swingieg backwards anti forwards, and was ursafely drunk ;
he reeled from the garv.way towards the hatchway, cod he was then
