THE NATIONAL REGI3TER.

had shown him. No ironer, however, had he ar-
rived at St. Helena, than he was told that a conrt•
martial was to be assembled to try him on several
charges, preferred against him by the Lord Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty. relative to his conduct
during his attendance on General Bonaparte! They
are such as would in any other case be considered
frivolous; but coming from so high an authority,
and supported by the local influence of hiv enemy,
he can have very little hope of relief. He requested,
among others, the Count* Bertrand and Montholon
might be summoned to. attend as witnesses on his
behalf, the only, persons-by whom he could. refute
the principal charges against him; but he was told
that there were legal objections to their appearance.
The secrecy also which their Lordships thought
proper to observe, wi:h respect to their design, in
sending him to St. Helena to rejoin hls ship, de-
prives bins of the biqietit of all the original illicit
meats oluificial correspondence, he having left them
in. England,. as well as testimonials of character,
which after twenty years of approved service, he
had received from every commander under whom he
had sailed. The system of terror so powerfully
operates in St. Helena, that a military officer de-
clined giving Surgeon Stokue his countenance and
assistance, during the trial, on the plea of i. I-health ;
and a writer in, the Admiral's office begged he
woullexcuse him from attending to take notes, for
fear of incurring displeasure ! The, trial was to
come on the day after our despatch was dated,
which was the 29th of August last. We are sure
the above narrative resuires no comment.

Extract of a Letter dated Buanos Ayres, July
21th :—" Lord Cochran:: has taken the Guayaquii
convoy, estimated to be worth three millions of
dollars ; he subsequently effected a landing at Pay-
ta. and held undisturbed possession of that place fir
five days, during which time he amply supplied
himself with provisions and. refreshments, destroyed'
the fortifications, and sent all the serviceable artil-
lery in a schooner of war, one of tite prizes to Val-
paraiso, He afterwards retureed to Callao to re-
sume the blockade, and would shortly be joined by
the remainder of the squadron from Valparaiso, now
undtr the command of Captain Guise. Artigas's
refusal to unite with Buenos Ayres. will not pre-
vent the Government from coming to an under-
standing with Santa Fe and Entrecios, because the
latter cannot expect any support from their protector
Arti;„nut, who is hard pressed by the Portuguese
They have taken Otargues, his second in command,
and also• the division of the fanmus Andresito. The
accounts from Upper Peru state, that the Royalist
Commander in Chief; Lu Ccrna, had withdrawn to
the-coast towards. Africa, and only left 1,000 men at
Tupiza, and small garrisons in sonic other places.—
The troops which have passed from Ch ili, over the
Cordillera towards this place, amount only to 1,;700
men,, who are to rein tin in readioess to assist us hi
receiving the grand expedition from Cadiz. The
expedition intended against Lima is n t on that ac-
count given up; only let Lord Cochrane capture
the Sin Thelmo and Prueva, on their voyage from
Cadiz, and Lima will follow.

can add, that a corresponding improvement is per-
ceptible in the metropolis, particularly iu the sugar
trade. Within the last two days, above 5,000
hogsheads of sugar have been sold.

A •43;i2.: of A.l trics.t tr • a th 3 17th to
the 30th September, were received on Friday. As
late dates had previously arrived, hut some inter-
mediate papers were omitted, which are now sup-
plied. All pasta of. the United States appear to
have experienced an unhealty season : the principal
mortality from fever has taken place at New Or-
:tens, Charleston, New York and Baltimore : Phi.
ladelphia has hitherto been wholly free from it. The
!goy York Gazette, for many successive days, has
several columns filled with notices of removal !from
the quarter of the city in which the fever originally
apyeured. At the small town of Darim, an infant
settlement in the province of Georgia, containing
only 120 inhabitants, 37 were seised with the fe-
ver : the whole place was one scene of distress and
consternation.

Meertsns arc called, or have been held, in almost
Rll places of importance in the Kingdom, on the
subject of the Manchester outrages, and on no occa-
sion in our political memory has so near an ap-
proach to unanimity been shewn as in all the install.
ces connected with this ; nor do we remember any
other on which. Ministers have.dared to treat with
so much sang froid, or advise the return of answers
so apathetical to, the voice of the people calling, not
for vengeance, not •for justice on the murderer, not
for punishment on the heads of those who became
his abettors and uccutsaries before the fact, by ,one
of the foulest breaches of the laws of this or any
other country that ever boasted having a constitu-
tion; but calling simply fur a-fair investigation, fur
an impartial enquiry into the facts. that led to the
tlital events of the.memorahle•lCmh•of August—this
.'.kpassionate demand is held -as Jaeobinical by these
who would either silence eompjaint by the sabre, or
smother enquiry by..threats : Noblemen whose res-
pectability, honour,. and honesty could sustain no
severer had thauly it comparison (politically) with
the most immaculate of the present administration
arc dismissed from situations they honoured by the
possession ot; merely forsooth because they will not
consent to remain quiescent spectators of the substi-
tution of German despotism ferthat beautiful, though
dilapidated structure the British Constite • ion.
" So di satisfied (says The Morning Chronicle,) is
the Ministerial Journalist with every thing that
passes at a Whig Meeting,-that he finds. fault with
en exur,2ssion of tbe.Norfolk Address, which recom-
mends nigh measures to the PRINCE REOZNT as
'nay reunite 11w Crown-and the people in the bonds of
concord and !raw. On this suggestion the London
(.'ourier exclaims with indignation—" Reunite!
are they separated-?" We hope and believe, the
separation is neither extensive nor incapable of cure ;
but if there is no disunion atidl—if there is not at
'east some little separation between the Crown and
some part of the people, why this alarm ? why this
augmentation of the army ?- why this premature
onvocation of Parliament? wheiee the necessity
for leyul addresses, loyal. associations, loyal sub-
scriptions ? why so lamentable a fall in the 3 per
Ceuta ? The measures of peace and concord rec:7m-
mended by the County of Norfolk may not suit the
palate, or coincide with the views of Ministers ;
but if there is no disaffection any where in the
kingdom, no disunion in any purt of the country,
they are acting like the frantic farmer, who to
frighten his neighbours, threw a firebrand into his
own hay-stack.'

Tile length our report of the indeed glorious
County Meeting, obliges us to curtail our observa-
tions on a subji.N:t so pregnant as to be difficult of
exhaustion. We look, however, with pleasure to
the meeting of Parliament, becauFe upon their
deliberations do we rely for the rower to give the
