sent down from the Board of Admiralty.
William Doe, a private of the Royal Marines of this
division, has been tried by a general court-martial
upon three charges, for striking Sergeant Barrett:. of
the same cops, and threatening to take his life. Evi-
dence was given that when the prisoner was brought
into the guard-room he threatened to be revenged on
the sergeant by taking his life, and he also repeated his
intention to d,stroy the sergeant while he was confined
in the prison. Th Court closed its proceedings on the
12th inst. Its decision must be confirmed by the Adm;
ralty before the sentence is known. The prisoner was
found " Guilty."
The Lords of the Admiralty pay a visit to day to the
Port-Admiral at Sheerness ; after which their Lord•
ships proceed to the dockyard on an official visit.

A-9.9,DRESS FROM THE INHABI-
'CANTS OF WESTMINSTER TO M. DE LA-
- MARTINE.'
A eamiderable number of the English party now
in -1) drif, and who are inhabitants of Westminster,
hay a presented, in the name of a large body of their
Alow-inhabitanti, the following address, voted on
he 4th inst. to M. de Lam artine :
" Honoured Sir, We, the undersigned, inhabitants
of 'Westminster, embracing the opportunity presented
to us by the visit to France of our excellent brother,
Mr. George Glanviil, a consistent and tried friend of
liberty, beg respectfully to tender you, however inade-
quately, the high sense we entertain of your tran-
scendent merits and your heroic devotion to the sacred
right of freedom and humanity. We refer not to the
present state of affairs—we regard the past. We behold
you in circumstances in which patriotism, piety,
firmness, disinterestedness, and every lofty virtue were
tested, and through which august trial you came forth.
pure and irreproachable, crowned with the wreath of
victory, and nobler still; loaded with the blessings not
only of France but of mankind. Words cannot ex-
press how our hearts palpitated, our bosoms heaved,
our hopes and our wishes turned to you and
your noble compatriots during the eventful period in
which you guided the destinies of your country. On
your judgment, your firmness, your generosity, the
purity of your motives, dTended the safety of
France and the interest of freedom throughout the
world. Your countrymen confided to you a sacred
trust—nobly did you redeem it. During the whole
course of your administration, ' Peace, Liberty, and
Fraternity shed their celestial, influence over the
nation ; France presented to all Europe a spectacle as
grand as it was benign ; and as the decrees of the
Provisional Government appeared in quick succession,
pregnant with the blessings of humanity and freedom,
they were hailed by the wise, the liberal, and the
good of every nation with feelings of unalloyed satis-
faction and delight. Inhabitants of a free country, we
felt that, in your act, our interests were, to a certain
extent, involved. By your heroic conduct, these
liberties have been strengthened, and the glorious
progress of humanity advanced. Accept then, benig-
nant sir, accept this feeble expression of our senti-
ments, this humble acknowledgment of our highest
esteem ; which, though it cannot enhance your fame,
or enrol you higher on the list of those whose names,
as benefactors of their race, caa never die, may yet
testify that, in the bosoms of those whom you may
never know, there will be retained while life shall
last gratitude for your self-sacrifices, and wishes for
your continued welfare and happiness. With senti-
ments of the profoundest esteem, we are, Honoured
Sir, ycurs in the bonds of fraternity."
M. de Lamartine replied as follows :
" Gentlemen,—l beg you to return my best thanks
to your countrymen. Justice comes ever from afar.
We receive it to-day from England ;we may hope
hereafter to receive it from our own country. You
have rightly understood the character of our revolution.
"The distinctive character of the revolution ac-
complished in France on the 24th of February, a
revolution in which chance, the voice of the people,
and my devotion to my country, gave me a share of
power that I did not seek, was that of a revolution
of reason, and necessity of fraternity between all
nations, and all classes of citizens, instead of a revo•
lution of hatred, revenge, and war. Therefore I trust
with you, that God will bless the French Republic,
which arose out of that revolution without conspi-
racy, premeditation, or crime.
" You must not, like some timid and faint hearts,
be surprised at the difficulties, distresses, and troubles,
at the natural, though slight and passing commotions
which agitated this country for some time after so gnat
a shock. We have not yet had one twelvemonth's
exercise of our new institutions. What are twelve
months in this calendar of the World's History. What
are twelve months in the life of a nation ? Those
trees of liberty that you have seen, on your way from
Boulogne hither, have not yet had time to strike their
roots, and to put forth their leaves, and one ex-
pects that our popular institutions, a 3 yet but barely
defined, should already bear their fruits 1 Time is
required even for the works of God himself! lie
uses time as an element in his creations ! How
much more then should time be allowed to the im-
perfect institutions of man! But if reflection be the
virtue of Englishmen, impulse is the virtue of
Frenchmen. They travel swiftly on their way, and
will make good and rapid progres in the carer of true
and; sound democracy. See their Republic, NS hich a
few months back was but a revolution and a problem,
is already a government. We shortened the d!ctator-
ship in our own hands, we, the government of the
first hour ; we decreed universal suffrage, we called
into being and established the Constituent Assembly,
our sole sovereign. The Constituent Assembly
has made the Constitution. We thrice suppressed,
and in three days, not only civil war, but the war
of labour, a war sprung from a misunderstanding
between capital and wages. We caused the
people to nominate the Executive lower ; we
have accepted the President they selected for them-
selves, and whom they chose for the lustre of his name
to confer on the Republic a baptism of additional
popularity. The Constituent Assembly has fixed the
term of its own duration, in order to avoid even the
appearance of a conflict between the constituted
powers. In a few days France will elect the Legisla-
tive Assembly ; all the machinery of the Republic works
regularly. War has been averted. Negotiations, con-
ducted with firmness, and, it is said, in concert,
by your Government and ours. They Hill suffice, I
trust, to protect Italy from internal anarchy and
from invasion, which we might perhaps have
prevented. Liberal constitutions and federations
between the independent states of the Peninsula,
guaranteed by European congresses, will most pro-
bably from the present termination of movements
which we respected, but never instigated, as it bas been
advanced by some. France has no need to seek in war
a bloody diversion. Her sense and activity, her prin-
ciples of cordiality and fraternity applied to the
labouring and suffering cleves, will, I trust, be made
manifest continuously by institutions of assistance
and benevo!ence, of colonization and labour. We
ahall, I trust, have a ministry and budget of frater-
nity ! Such is the inward tendency of our new Re-
public ; peace is the outward tendency, not only of
the Republic, but also of your representative Govern-
ment ; both consulting in this respect the real interests
of mankind.
" This, gentlemen, is what I would wish you to take
back as my only reply to those among your country-
men who have been pleased to remember my name
and my poor share in the events which brought about,
established, and directed the Republic in its early
days. Tell them that France has thousands of citi-
zens worthier than I, but not one more firm in his de-
sire, that her Republic should be philosophy in ac-
tion ; that she should have a heart for her own chil-
dren, and a heart likewise for all people. Our Re•
public must efface all national prejudices between
England France ; for the lofty principle of that
Republic is not a principle of national egotism, but
the union of the human race in one family of nations
advancing under diverse laws towards unity of civili
zation."

ATTEMPT TO FIRE A UNION WORKEIOIIBIL—Lucy
Champion, Sarah Bennett, and Ann Ashley, were in-
dicted at the late Somerset Assixn, for maliciously at-
tempting to fire the From° Union workhouse. It ap-
peared that on the 11th of January the prisoners were
picking oakum in one of the wards, and that they col-
lected a large quantity of that inflammable material and
ignited it ; but on an alarm being given the fire was
soon extinguished. Champion had been no less than ten
times previously convicted, and Bennett had also ap-
peared before ; they were sentenced to be transported
for ten years ; and Ashley to 12 months' imprisonment.
