POETRY.

A Sailor, rambling in a careless mood,
Went with a friend into a House of Pray'r,
Where but a little time he restless stood,
Then vow'd he ne'eragain would venture there.
-a Why ?"cry'd his friend, " if you were rightly thinkinti
" You much advantage from the place might draw.'—
" Because," said I A CX, " there's singing without drinking'
" And he that pits aloft has era the jaw."

• A Parish at the West end of the Town has been
thrown into a state of the greatest consternation,.
in consequence of the elopement of one of the
principal .Collectors of the King's taxes, with a
very considerable sum of money. This person
(who was at the head of all the charitable insti-
tutions, and a leading man in the vestry,
.and had
married a Lady wish 10;0001. to her fortune,) de-
camped about a week since with, upwards of 60001.
of the public money. As the Commissioners of the
parish were his securities, they have spared neither
trouble nor expence in sending off couriers to all
the sea-ports, to prevent his emigrating abroad.
After the .most diligent inquiry, the object of their
search was discovered on 'friday last, at Truro, in
Cornwall ; in the vicinity of which he bad purchas-
ed a farm, with an intent to settle there, as he sup-
posed in perted (obscurity.

COL7.I?T OF INQUIRY.

• ,
The Court of Inquiry, ins.ituted' to inquiee into
the condua of the Conimanderof the Forces ih Por:.
toga!, on account •of the two Conventions entered
Into for permitting the French to evacuate Poftuga!,
I
i to return to France, and to serve again, wrieti te..i-
-i
I turned, assembled this day, and commenced its n..
~ .
I vesMtiguacth
i°ll.
has been alledged against this proceeding,
and it is urged that the preferable mode for satisfy..
kg public justice, would have been. the.immediat,
assembling of a Court Martial. . .
. .
The answer to every allegation upon this t,il)eti
[is obvious. A Court Martial. would 406 rendered a
Court of Inquiry impossible. A Cowl of Inquiry-
still leaves the subject (pea to a Court Martial ;--••il,
Court Martial must have proceeded upon ezeit:t and
specific criminal charges, and no others, and oil:::
therefore have excluded many cirecinstances whi( h
the Country wish to be satisfied upon.. A Court of
Inquiry etnbrac.:s alt the circonistai.e,s ,on I. Ll.ct
with the case, whether iu themselves criminal of
otherwise.
The Court of Inquiry, like a Court Martia% n.r,•,.
be, an(k in the present case will be pull:ic ; and al-
though an examination by, a Court of lequity is not
"upon oath, , but upon honour,- like all examinations.
before the House of Commons, yet as it-1S not colicitt
sive, but preliminary—inquisitory, „not judicial, the
want of the formality of an oath is more than com-
pensated by the latitude which such a tribunal al.
lows.

The nature of the case in itself dictates the ere-.
ference of resorting to a preliminary proceeding
iitz
stead of instituting an ultimate form of trial... For the
question, in its first view, and anstract‘ nature, is a
nitre question 4s to passible • error gri
of.indnent.
There is nothing on .the face of the two conventions.
which present a specific crime either as to discipline
'or courage, or disloyalty or bribery; and though
the Nation has ground fur diSsatisfadiou and dis-;
content, yet all that it can impute on the face ))`' the
business; is want of judgment, A Court 'of. Inquiry;
therefore, is instituted to inquire wheti,er the
.;114:
tnent exercised in the case is, upon examileitiona
laudable, venial, or criminal. It the former, a Court'
of Inquiry will give us opinion that tire Con
deserve commendation—if the second', that the.
framers do not merit trial as a erime—ii the third
that they ought to be tried as el-Mimi-1:s. ~-•
It would be extremely difficult to form a charge
upon the two CAtventions, which would abstract.,
edly make the Commanders who ordered them
guilty of any crime specified in the Articles of
But it is very easy to suppose, that cir, tunsiances
may come out in a court of Intpiry, h may
lay ground for specific criminality upon many ports
of • ti
them.
The French Army in Portugal, when Sir A. Wel-
lesley landed, consisted of about 24,00 men ; in
three weeks, with 20,000 men, he so operated, that
this army offered to eva,2uate Portugal entirely, and;
to restore a whole kingdom, which it had conquer-
ed, on condition of retiring with its arms and prod,
perry. Surely this is (Jo military crime, though. a, great military exploit, when unaccompanied with.
other considerations.
The army, in ten days afterwards, though rein-
forced to 30,000 men, persisted in the same policy,
This again is no crime, though the agreeing to an
evacuation.under such circumstances may be a great
error- in -judgment. •
The province of a Court of Inquiry is to find,out
what is the degree of this error in jtAlgment,
.as it
appears to the public; whether it was such as to be
criminal per- se, and whether, instead of being a
mere error in judgment, there was something worse
in the proceeding; whether, for instance, it arose
from gross ignorance, culpable dupery, base ing
lotion, or baser corruption—or whether, on the
other hand, there was not such stiong political card
military reasons in its favour, as to make the mea-
sure, justifiable and praise-worthy.
It certainly appears that Sir H. Dalrymple, Sir
Harry Burrard, and Sir Arthur Wellesley, agreA
in
.the proptiety of permitting the French to eva-
cuate Portugal ; and these authorities, upon first
mention, certainly deserve as much 'credit as Nr.
Waithman and Mr. Cobbett: It is also itated, that
all. the General Officers of the Army in Portugal ap.
prove of the evacuation being permitted : and it is
possible the authorities of these Officers may be
deemed by a Court composed of the first Milinny
Authorities in England, as'of equal weight Wu h. Ihe
best Speakers of the Common COUII6I. At the
same time, much may come out as to the tenth;
which are stiperadded•to the mere measure of eva-,
cultion-; and the circumstances add,ll to the cuatitt•
of the treaty, and which make the formal pa; r,
may be of such a nature, on investigation, as to make
that criminal, which, without these additions, would
not have been so.

' -
Now these accessory points could hardly, have
been converted into sikcitio charges out- ot tiwCon-
vention, as it stands ; but by the means of a Court of
Inquiry such circumstances may be brought out as
will tend to ficilitate the shaping of criminal cOalges,
if criminal matter shall be. found.
The. measure, therefore, of a Court of Inquiry,
preferable for the Public and the Commanders; for
the Public may have two investigation', and the
Commanders Will be, should they be acquitted, cam.
pletely acquitted. But had a Court Mattial been re-
sorted. to in the first instance, and the Generals have
been acquitted, the Public might say the whole case
against thew was not , brought forward, and that
they were partially acquitted. On the other
hand the Public might be led to believe, that Go,
vernment had made use of the strict proceeding of
a Court Martial to screen offenders and secrete faar,
which, in the more open and free investigation by
a Court of Inquiry, would have been dragged to
light and exposed.

The Court-Martial held at Chad-tam, on Colonel
FLETCHER. commanding the Wool wici, Division. of
Royal Marines, upon charges of cruelty and opnies,
slot), have adjudged him to be dismissed from any
command in his Majesty's Royal Marine Fth-cts;
but, under the circumstances stated, most earnestly
recommend that be may be placed on half-pay ;„,im(l
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
been pleased to order, agreeable to the recotnzneli.
dation of the Court, that Colonel arrcinta should
be placed on half-pay.
