This is tie first instance since Lieut.-General
Maitland has assumed ihq command of his Majesty's
troops in this island, where a British European sol-
dier, belonging imniediately to the establishment of
he island, has been sentenced by a General Court—
Martal to suffer death.

He has considered the whole of the case with the
most anxious attention and solicitude, with a vkw
to satisfy himself how far any alleviating; circum-
staiite has occurred, that would admit of his either
with propriety mitigating the punishment, or par-
doning this unfortunate man. But he is sorry to
say, teat on a thorough review of the hole of the
subject, and every point conne&ed with it, be
feels it a painful but bounden duty he owes his
Sovereign, and the service to which he has the ho-
nour to b. long, to dired the sentence to be carried
into- efiea between the hours of six and ten in the
morning of Monday the -23 d inst. under orders
transmitted to the Commandant of Colombo Co that
e ffe it.

Lieutenant-General Maitland further direEts, that
James Elliot, private in his Majesty's 19th regiment,
now in confinement, and who there is the strongest
reason 'to believe was a party to the. above trans-
a&ion, though it was impossible to procure sufficient
legal evidence to conviet hall, be kept in close con-
finement till there is a tilting opportunity to send
hill) oft this island, with those marks of infamy and
disgrace which naturally attach to his character and
conduct.

By the Lieutenant-General's command,

The sentence of death ,awarded on J. Gould,
private in the ipth regiment, was carried into
execution in presence of the troops composing the
garrison of Columbo, on Monday last, on the Galle

The workmen employed to repair the church of
St. Mary, Aldermanbury, discovered a few days
since the remains of the notorious Chancellor Jet.,
flies, so universally detested, for, his cruelty and in-
justice. A large flat stone .was removed near the ,
Communion Table, and in a vault underneath the
men found a leaden coffin, containing the body..
The coffin did not appear to have suffered much de-
cay. It was closed, and a plate remained on it, in-
scribed with the name of Chancellor Jefffes. His.
son and daughter are also baried in the Ea.'llo vault. •
It appears on enquiry, that the body remained a
considerable. time in the Tower before it was inter-
red in this Church. After the tragic business at
Taunton, which Jeffries managed with so much ad-
dres4, he returned to London, and, to avoid the
popular fury exLited by his infamous conduct, dis-
gui,ed himself in the habit of a foreign sailor,
with intention to escape to Hamburg'', but being.
discovered as he was looking out of a window in a
house at Waving, whet° he had concealed Itints,4f,
he was seized by the 'mob, and almost killed. He
was filially lodged in the Tower by the populace, in
order that lie might be bronght to justice, but he
died soon after, in consequeme of the bl'is's and
bruises he had received. He had p eviously resided
to Aldennanbury, and his body was privately in-
terred by his family. The discotery of his coffin in
the manner described, drew frilly pet sons to the
church, and Jeffries, so long consigned to infamy,
is again the topic of convet.ation. it does not ap-
pear that the Catlin was .pened. After public cu-
riosity ita‘l been, gratified, it was replaced in the
vault, and the stone is now listened °icor it.

'On Sunday a seizure Was made, at •Harwich; of
gold to the amount of 20,uuoi. illegally shipped for
exportation on board a %e9Sel iltthat port.
