Was supposed the Surgeon wished to get rid of,
who were also ordered to be thrown' overboard.—
Some of the unfortunate men remonstrated against
this cruel order, but, the Surgeon replied, " Come.

save some victims. This man only published the
most atrocious writings to conceal his real senti-

to expatriate themselves with no other view but to
ensure'their safety. These observations apply to
the legal 'proceedings instituted by AL de la Touche.

The case of Baron D'ImBERT. was finally decile;ed
this morning. The Baron was brought before
Mr. Justice DAMPIER, upon a Writ of Habeas

disallowed, and the Baron will therefore be sent
out of the country immediately.
