Captain Walnut, in the ottimand of the ritteelo,
at the ettiod of the capture of that Vessel bribe
rretivh.,-,-who has recently been mentioned in all
-tbe newspaper 4 as having effected his escape trout
his captivity In FraOce, and arrived safe Ift this
eonntrv, ,ve iinderstatiii, to be promoted im,-
ruciliately by the Lords of the Admiralty to the
rank of Commander. The rate of Captain I:tau
flaeivir excitedt\AturallyW t
a great curiosity to know'
the circumstances of the imprisonment and escape
of LiColeoAni WALLIS, the are enabled, front par-
. ticular luquitics, to mention the subjoined le:44111-g
particulars t.--The personal hostility of BotisiA,.
PARtit Wag directed in a parfenlar manner against
Cantain ViratG 4T. That Officer had been the fa.;
vottrite pupil, and confidential friend and‘Lietite-
cant of Sir StnxnV S's:trru, in those services on
Ole Fr,neh Coast, which excited such universal
astUnislottent, .and gave finch alarm to the revolu-
tionary Governments in the earlier part of the last
trench Wtr, and if;vio.,l; been taken with Sir Stn..,
tgr.v, was his vonvianinn in the memorable im-
prisonment itt the Temple, and also of the cele-
rated escape from that prison,
,in the planning
awl e ecution of which he had a principal share.
Captain Viratuor subsequently acted Est principal
part against IluoNarawre under Sir:SM.:O:V in
Egypt, often commanding in the batteries and
,breaches at the siege.of St Jean d'Acre, the, first
sc.oe ,o 1 the failure of NAPOLEON'S fortune, and
bearing also it principal coiumand in the corps -
which seryed on shore in the eXpedition In Egypt.
Having thus honourably recommended himself
to a large portion of BUONAPARTE'S hatred, Capt.
WitIGHT, on taking the command ofthe Vincejo,
for services. Of the most peculiar and important
nature, off the coast of France, was particularly
formidable, front the prior knowledge of his fa.,
lents and character; and when, by the Unfortu-
nate accident, of being; teahned under the fire
of t vastly superior force, the Vincejo was cap-
tured, he immediately gratified his revenge, and
provided against the possibility of another esca,pe,
by' the minder d his victim, never assigning any
reonn_even for the severs.coutinement of Captain
Ntrtitote, altogether inexcusable, according to
the practice of civilized warfare, except a manse('
strit'g of altercations, charging him with landing
floyaliStS, 'and taking them off, and thus keeping
up, the interests of ,the.liourbons,: and exciting
end fostering disaffection , to the Napoleonic dip.
nasty ; charges which, even if well founded, codid
trot be deemed criminal in an enemy ; and, ac-
cording to all impartial lodgment, would but add
to the meritorious services performed by Captain
WAlGtri, for the cause of his Sovereign and his
Country.
On this pretext, however, Captain W. was sa-
crificed tn the revenge and caution of BooNa-
rature., who knew well what lie had to dread
front stieh an °niece. The sane cause of particu-
lar-hostility not existing with respect to Lieute-
nant Wxt.t.ot, he was SCOt to one oLthe ordinary
(ivy,'",v; fur British prisoners, front which be con-
trived to effect Isis escape.
