were Members for the Trial of Captain the Right
lion. Lord GEORGE STUART, late of his 111aiesty's
ship Newcastle, upon the following Charges, ex-
hibited against hint by Captain SAMUEL BUTCHER,
late of his Majesty's ship Antelope:—
" For neglect of duty and disobedience of or-
ders, on or about the Sth of July, 1814, by tak-
ing the Newcastle into Bearhaven, and thereby
abandoning the convoy.
For the like conduct on or about the sth,
I I th, and 20th of August following, in parting
convoy, contrary to the written orders issued on
or about the 21st and 25th of July ; and for hav-
ing, during the aforesaid period, hazarded the
safety of a crippled brig belonging to the convoy
entrusted to his charge, and afterwards quitting
her altogether, to go in cbace.
" For disobeying the signal of recal on or
about the 12th or 17th of August, 1814, and on
the last-mentioned day chasing from the fleet.
" For having, on the quarter-deck of the •An-
telope. on or about the 7th September, 1814, con-
ducted himself in an outrageous, disrespectful, and
contemptuous manner to Captain BUTCHER, his
Commanding Officer.
" For having, from the earliest period of being
placed under Captain BUTCHER'S orders to that
of being detached by him, performed his duty in
a most careless, negligent, and nu-officer-like
Manner.

‘.` For general disobedience to the written or-
ders and regulations issued by Captain BUTCHER
for protecting and conducting the convoy."

The COUIZT acquitted Lord GEoRGE STUART of
the wh,de of the Charges exhibited against him,
and observed in their sentence, that the public
repi•iman.l of Lord G HOIIGE STUART by Captain
BUTCIIER, in his Generd Order to the ships under
his couunand, dated 6th September, 1814, was
most harsh and unusual ; particularly as it appear-
ed upon evidence, that his Lordship was never,
previous to such reprimand, given to nnderstand
tk,tt his conduct was displeasing to his Command-
ing Officer, or xvas called upon by Capt. BUTCHER
to account for any part of 11is proceeding.

After the Sentence was read, the President,
Captain WALKER, delivered to Lord GEORGE
STUART his Sword, with an appropriate and very
handsome address.

Saturday a Court-Martial was held on beard
the St. George, to try John Maud, John Lid-
don, and John Murray, private marines of the
Eridanus, for absenting themselves without leave,
when the two former were sentenced to receive
100-lashes each, and the latter 50 lashes.
Last week, IV. Sounders, S. ll'ickhyn, G.
Eastern, and J. llodgAon, Petty-officers of his
IThriesty's sloop Dispatch, were tried by a Court-
Martial, on board his Majesty's ship Queen Char-
lotte, at Portsmouth, for.mutinous behaviour, in
refusing to unmoor that vessel on the 31st ult. and
proceed to sea ; and also on Peter Puulet, for
being spokesman in the cause, two days subse-
quent to that date, when Admiral Sir Enwann
'ffIORNBOROUGH was on board ; and for still re-
fuskng to unmoor the ship, if so directed. The
men met the charge by expressing their sorrow
for the conduct they had pursued, but stating,
they had conceived themselves entitled to be
discharged from the service, on the faith of the
promises held out to the Navy, in the circwlar
notice of the Admiralty. They were. all found
guilty (Paulet was acquitted of the charge of be-
ing spokesman, but found guilty of refusing to do
Ili" duty) and sentenced to be lwnged ; but, ex-
cepting Pallet, in eoosequence of the extraordi-
nary good general character given of them by
Culuain Conau, were all earnestly recommended
by the Court for mercy.
4ncell, of the Traare, was to be exe-
cuted yesterday on board the St. George, for kill-
ing the corporal of marines.—Wilavn Smith, for
desertion, received 100 lashes through the fleet on
Saturday last.
