Captain Virtturar.-7When C.apt, WHITBY, now
.of His 4ajesty's Ship Leander, commandea the
Desiree Frigate at St. Domingo, DessALIN ES, from
m
inforation or suspicion that an American Master,
of a Vessel had smuggled otf•some French Wifites
to pi-et:slit their falling into his hands, ordered
the said Master to be immediately hanged on.
the Wharf in his presence. Captain WHITBY,
shocked at So horrid a proceeding, with than genuine
humanity and determined resolution so peculiar to a
Briton, sent a boat, manned and armed, to the rescue
of the ill-fated-Ainerican,• ',Fortunately the knot had
slipped, mid he. was suspended by the chin. A inus-
ket was fired to clear the way, the ballof which pass-,

down the vitilm, who soon recovered, and restored;
him to his ship.lDEssaLms,instead of resenting this,
suffered Capt. W. to beat all times on shore unin

well make rite Americans blush at' the unjust oppro.,

the whole civilized world, stand so highly indebted.
A Petition to the House of Commons, against
the American Intercourse 1011, at present under the
consideration of Parliament, was • last week trans•
rnitt,ed to London by the iVlerchants of fireetiock.
among whom -it appears to have excited considerable
alarm, as they conceive that, if carried into a law,
the effeet of the measure would deprive in a great
degree, the British Ship-owners of the advantages so
long secured to them by the salutary regulations of
the Navigation Act. A similar Petition has, we tin.,
derstand, likewise been forwarded from porteGlai.

We are authorized to contradia a false ancl calutn-

nious statement which has been veq confidently matt
industriously circulated, that Alr—lustioeiktx, wham
case has. occupied the attention, of the louse 'of
Lords during three Ses.Siozz-s , was iadetted_fir 144 seat
on the Irish Judicial Bench to the support give;
ly him in Parliament to the great ineasurr of -the
Union of the two Kingitamt. mr. Vox 114 Deen
for many years a Member of the Irish Parliament,
during a period in which be had but too man/.
opportunities of giving the' most unquestiouablo
proofs of his ardent lora,ty and public spirit. He
had. raised .himseil by ' his own exertions ,to rt-
high and lucrative rank in his pruleSSl4ll, without
the imputation on nis cuarac,
ter, sin
public, professional, stain o
ror ,private. With these
recommendations he had the honour of being first
Hoticed by,Earl' CAMDEN, then Liord Lieutenant of
Ireland, and by his Secretary, the present Lord (..4LL4
CHESTER ; and long betbEe the question ofk.Jaion wag
even mentioned, was actually uesignated' by them,
with the approbation of the late Lod Ct.ARE, then
Chancellor of Ireland, to fill the first vacancy that
might occur on the Judicial-Bench of Ireland. - Lord
Cmsinfit was succeeded by. tins late Actin-T.4s cuRN-
- WALLIS, who carried this arrangement into execu,
tion, without any new stiptilation of any kind being
annexed, to it by ,him. Lord CAMDEN, Lord Cat-
CHESTER, and Lgrd CAS,TLEREAGLI, are referred to .
fin' the truth and accuracy of this statement, which
has become necessary lig the purpose of screening ari
injured Public IVlagistrate, invested with the highest
trusts, and the execution of the most awful func-
tions, from unmerited obloquy and reproach, at a, ti /4
when his judicial conduCt has been made the sulalea .
-of complaint ,in Parliament. It is equally import,
ant to rescue the greatand distinguished Personages,
whose names have been so improperly mentioned a$
parties to this foul and disgraceful traffic, from that
disgrace which would otherwise justly attach to the
charaiiters of the living, and to the Meinories Of those
who cannot now answer for tnemseives. The only
boon derived by Mr. Justice Fox front the Union of
Great .13cia'sp:i and Ireland, has been the novel and un.
precedente.d distinaion of being ptuced to answer at
the Bur ri the House :of. Lards t. a :charges at the
utmost sounding in Misdemeanor, an hononr to which
no Judge, either English or Irish,. had been eve:
admitted, before him in any period of our history.
