vizr.e......arraigned upon the undermentioned Charges

tenfjor conduct unbecoming the characters of Officers and
tbp tnnen, in being concerned in a negotiation ;

:LiT he Court was of opinion, that Captain and Ad-
-41',,1.1t John Hew in and Quarter-Master Justin
utter were guilty,-the former of purchasing, the
tk-
of selling, the Adjutaney of the Archenfield
~llr'i 4t of local which condua being highly
heituental to the service, the Court adju,:eif, that
said Captain and Adjutant John Hewitt, and
Thcarter-Master. Justin .111'C:salty should be dis-
litiaed from the Archenfield regiment of local mi.
TI
le Court was, however, of opinion that there
wee 4)0 much reason to believe that such practices
fie re frequen. in the militia, and that as no Of-'
tiers had to their knowledge been brought to a
(111eral Court Martial ,:nder a similar charge,
4T,l),,,tain and Adjutant Hewitt and Quarter-Master
that
\-6114 might acted under an impression,
they .were not offending against any law or re-
' ati°n applicable to the militia service. The Court
Its° taking into consideration the to ourable .tessti-
I l=il;ies given of the prisoners, Captain and Adju-
-1114 John. Hewitt, and Quarter-Master J. Al‘Car-
Y, previous to this transaction, earnestly meow-
. 4
~el)Cied them to his Maj-sty's clemency. -
Hts Majesty has been pleased to approve and con-
rin the A
&awing and sentence of the Court, and to
tXl'resg his regret that Sir H. Huckyns should have
tc") into a convithon tie fullness of
trittisatlinn, wie-n all the circurifstanics attend-
tiig it seem sufficient
to have been sucient to excite suspi-
-I°ll, and demand inquiry.
Cornrnander-in-Utief dire is that the charge
ereftrred against Captain gnd Adjutant J. Hewitt,

Doubts have been entertained of the fa& of
-"Nteas having been made prisoner. This uncei=
1 41nty is, we think, satisfa&orily removed by the
1.
211 owing letters, which have come to hand, and
add to the prior information some interesting parti-
Wars :

" MANCHESTER, Nov. tave seen the Cap-
:n of the. Alathan, from Buenos Ayres, who con-
V% the account of lANIERS'S capture, and says,

BUENOS AYRES,
.AUGi 14.—The troops which
Were sent from this on the 15th July, to suppress
re rebellion at Cordova,
,were me' by the Magis-
!rates, aid nearly all the respectable inhabitants of
that city, several leagues from ttw. sown, and were,
leeetved by
.tnem as their brethren and. deliverers
i rnrn a system of measures almost universally exe-
crated. • ,
f " LINIERS, it appears, had the day before fled
r°4l 'Cordova with about .400 men, all old Spa-
Vards, Frenchmen, or 'people of the lowest class ;
out, however contemptible iris party was in numbers
and quality, ir is said there were not more than 20
WWI him when be was overtaken.

" The son of LINIERS has been
sa prisoner here
.or several weeks, and his son-in-law,-PEREcHoit,
who is also a Frenchman,' and who acted as Adju-
tant-Gcneral of the Grand Army Of Cordova, is also
pit snug quarters."

A gentleman of Bristol has proposed a new me-
'nod of pre•erving 'the lives of personi shipwrecked,
rrincipally by having the mattresses used in ships
°ruled of cork shavings. He suggests, that if each
mattress was filled with the above in proportion
,t(Pal to the support of a single man, a mass.of
I(lern thrown overboard, linked together by ties at
each corner, would form an extensive raft, capable
Ct sustaining a number of ' men, and convey them
tu the rocks 'or shore, with far more safety than
r°uunon rafts, which are frequently disjointed by
the blows they receive:
few evening ago, one Baines, a Waterman,
~:vas stopped in Fletton-lane, near Peterborough, by
two .footpad., who demanded his money ; he said
bra had not any : one of the villains replied, " You
11.1,°Y as weil be without brains as without
° money—
re us 'your *watch." At this moment Baines
uched his horse behind, which trade the animal
lock, and knocked one of the fellows,down, and
alarmed the other so much that he let go the bi idle,
and Baines galloped off, but not without teceiving
a Pistol ball through his hat.
