RIGHT HON. Slit JOSEPH BANKS,
Stn,—Every loyal Englishman views the mutiny that Major
Johnston and his Officers have elrected in New South Wales,
with an eye of detestation. This infernal plot has been in agi-
tation from the moment the Military Officers, car in other words
the Military Iluxters, stationed in that Colony, discovered Go-
vernor Bligh's fixed determination to abolish monopoly, and put
a final period to that degrading system of traffic, for which the
whole of those Officers have been so justly celebrated, since the
year 179.1, with the exception of Colonel Paterson and Captain
John Piper. The of that were made by Governor K lug, to
suppress the insolence of Major Johnston, and the Officers under
his command, involved that Governor into difficulties almost
tantammtut to those which have befallen that gallant veteran
Governor 131igh. The incendiaries that have buoyed up Major
Johnson to the commission of this crime, are John M'A rihur
and William Minchin, Adj. in the New South Wales Corps ; the.
succession of quarrels the former is famous fur, with Governors
Homer, King, Colonel Paterson, and Bligh, need no recapitu-
lation ; the latter has been repeatedly tried by General Courts
Nlartial. I refer you to General (ruse for his character; ask
that General what confidence can be placed io his iniegrity.--.
The unfortunate Officers Atkins, Palmer, Gore, and t
' were the only men that made a stand in defence of Gov.
authority and person ; they have shared his fate, and if they
escape assassination, they will prove the atrocity of this revolg,
tion, and skew what necessity there is to remove Mr. M`Arilair
and the New South Wales Regiment from that Colooy. Per.
haps, Sir Joseph, 'nu are unacquainted with the particular cir-
cumstances of this wanton act of rebellion, the following is a
correct detail. January the VBll, last, Major .1 ohnstim ordered
the Bruin to beat to arms; the consequence was, the re;:iment
•rss.ctubled, and a mob of about 'ZOO convicts ; Major Johnston
then placed himself at their head, and marched to the Goveru-
ment-house, where he called aloud for the Governor to surren-
der. 'l' he Governor, alarmed for Isis personal salet% , I innovated.
himself; the Major then ordered a body of soldiers to rush into
the house, and by force °farms to bring the tlo%ernor to him;
after searching some time, the. Govepor was forced from his re-
tirement, awl treated by the soldiers and mob in a most cruel
and insulting manner. Major Johnston, with rude ungentleman-
like language, demanded the Governor's sword, and after leaving
the Governor in dose arrest, marched oil' Isis victorious banditti
in triumph : the prison door was then thrown open, and Mr.
M'A rthur liberated. This refractory gentleman was confined
for contempt of Court, and refusing to pay a tine. he soldiers
and mob then placed lxim in a chair, and carried him about the
town in a disorderly triumphant manner. The bellman wag
then ordered to assemble the inhabitants, in order to subscribe
money to defray the ex pences of two Delegates, )les-is. Charles
Grimes and Adjutant William Minchin, to proceed to England,
to impeach the Governor.
The self-created Governor Johnston then proceeded to liberate
the delinquents that were in confinement, and by his proclama-
tion, to make null and void the acts of the Courts of .Imli4:ature,
and the evening was ushered in with :t blaze of illuruiu ttiorns and
bonfires, and a disgraceful scene of drunkcone:.s amid excess un-
precedented.
