WRECK OF THE CTAIONE.

Guzman*, JAY. 3.—The inquest of the Royal Count into
the conduct of the authoritieti of Alderney on uto occasion of
the Greek brig of war Cjimone's wreck, closed on satuiday.
Dlr. John Gaudion, King's rrocureur at Alderney, was pre-
sent at Court, and satisfactorily exculpated himself and his
friends from the charges brought against them. His defence
was made in (men Court ; but as the examination of all the wit-
nesses, and the Court's deliberation previous to their pro-
nouncing jndgment, passed in private, it is impossible for es
to enter into details. It will, however, suffice to say, that the
Court gave it as their unanimous opinion, that there was nu-
foundation whatever for any accusation against the autho-
rities of Alderney.—We feel highly gratified in being able
to record this decision of the Conn, on their terminating
an inquest which has occupied a considerable pOalon of
their valuable time, during the last four or flye weeks—
an inquest too, which, from the indignation exited In the
public mind by the malicious stories of plunder and rob-
hery said to have been committed on the property 017
the Greeks, must have been undertaken under the in-
fluence of feelings not very favourable to the character of the
inhabitants of Alderney; for we must suppose ourldagiitrates
to be more than men, before we can soppose that, ,previous to
their examining witnesses, they felt nothing of a sensation
which In other respects
,was very generally, if nokiniversally,
experienced in this town. .Upon the whole, we think Allot the-
Greeks have no cape to complain of the treatment they have
met with in these Islands. Previous to the period when the
reports, prejudicial to the inhabitants of Alderney, began to al.,
ensue some degree of importance, the Captain and lieutenants
repeatedly expressed thi mselves as perfectly satisfied with their
conduct; to this island they received ova), possible 'Mark of
friendship and hospitality from his Excellency Sir .John
borne, who kindly allotted rations to the crew and. gave them
quarters at Castle Cornete, and previous to their. departure
from this island, a sum amounting to nearly 3001. raised by pri-
vate subscription was distributed among the then..._-( Quermey.

and while she remained in this state some of the
fruit was stolen from the stall,, but the greater

MAJOR-OEN, SIR DAVID OCHTERLOW.

ONNEUAL OILDEIE, DY
_THE 11101 IT HON. ,TIIIC GOVZIONOII.'
GENF:HAL IN COUNCIL.

Political Department, 29th of July, 1821

The Right lion. the Governor-General in
.Council has
learnt with great *arrow the demise of Major-General Sir D.
Octerlony, resident in Malwah and Rajpookana. This me.
rancholy event took place on the morning of the 15th instant,
at Meerut, whither lie had proceeded for the benefit of change
of air.

On the eminent military services of iitjor-Oeneral Ochter-
lony, it would be superfious to dilate. They have been ac-
knowledged in terms of the highest praise by successive Go-
vernments ; they justly earned a special and substantial reward
from the Ilon. East India Company; they have been recog-
nized with expressions of admiration and applause by., the Bri-
tish Parliament, and they have been honoured with signal
marks of the approbation of his Sovereign.
With the name of Sir David Ochterlony arc associated many
of the proudest recollections of the Bengal- Army ; and to the
renown of splendid achievements he added, by the attainment
of the highest honour, of the Military' Order of the Bath, the
sing lar felicity of opening to his galhint companions an access
to those tokens of Ito)al favour which are the dearest objecti of
a soldier's ambition.

The diplomatic qualifications of Sir David Ochterlony were
not less conspicuous than his military talents. To an admi-
rably vigorous intellect, and consummate address, he united
the essential requisites of an intimate knowledge of the na-
tive character, language, and manners. The confidence
which the Government repOsed in an individual gifted with
such rare endowments was evinced by the high and respon-
sible situations which he successively filled, and the duties of
which he discharged with eminent ability, and advantage to the
public interests.
