SECOND DAY.

PORTSNOUTH, MAY 23.—This naming the Court
assembled at half past nine o'clock, pursuant to ad-
journrnent,Whenßear-Admiral HARVEY being called
upon to make his.Defen6e, he'addressed the Court
shortly, stating, that it was not his intention to
trouble them witli calling any witnertei in his 1.74-
half. But with their permission, he would deliver
into the hands of the Deputy Judge Advocate a paper,
which he desired to be mad, as it.contained all tha
he deemed expedient to offer to their consideration.
The Deputy Judge Advocate (If r. QaprritAil)
then read as follows
‘f MR..PRESID4NT AND GENTLEMEN,

I thank the Court for adjourning to this day.,-e
Tha interval of time 'has given you an opportunity
of perusing the evidence that has been adduced, and
I trust of discovering that it falls short of proving the
charges that have been exhibited against me. I
should, however, not be acing a fair and candid
part, were I to deny that a condo I, which I can-
not justify, has been exhibited against me, and/
now offer my most bubble aPology to the Court
for it. For the offence that I have given to the Com-
mander. in Chiif, his Lordship. has proved that I
have already offered an apology that was satislattorY
'to his feelings. The Court will not fail to recollect,
that although I have spoken pf the Commander in
Chief in terms which- I am extremely sorry for liar:
itig used, 1 did not speak with that publicity that is
stated in the charge against me. 1 spbke only to
persnns of rank and station in the fieet,on whose minds
my words could have no injurious effed ; what I said i 5
not found to have been disseminated among the inferior
orders of the navy. No seaman or petty officer hat
been called', who ever heard any of the language
complained of. It will also occur' to you, that . all
the intemperate expressions used by me are proved •
to'have been used about the same tiMe, .when I %vas
in a state of great irritation, in consequence of my
offer to attack the French fleet being passed over
without the least acknoWledgment of its haviitg been.,
made. Excess of zeal, and impatience of restraint, .
where an opportunity of enterptizt:i presents . itself,
although faults, are such as the most eminent Naval
Commanders have not been free from, and the
effeds of these are all that can be found blamable
in my condud. It never was my intention to
thwart auy supdrior officer ; on' the contrary, my
wholee life has. been, and shall continue to be, en 4 ,
tire submission to their commands. _

"To many of the Gentlemen of this Court baps
the honour to be known to them I appeal for nay
former ch'itracier.

" I shall also beg leave to desire that two letters
from most. distinguished persons, under whom I
have had the honour to serve, may be read.
" The manner in which my services 'bole
estimated by them will, I am sure, have its 6e eared
on the judgment which the Court, is called 013011 'O
pronounce upotfrne." been
