FIRST DAY.

This morning precisely at ten o'clock the Members
of the Court Martial assembled in Chelsea College,
and immediately proceeded to the Great Hall, in
which a considerable number of Gentlemen were
assembled to witness the ceremony. After the names
were called over and the usual formalities gone
through, General WIIITELOCKE entered the Hall,
and took his station on the left of the President. The
General was dressed in the uniform of a General Offi-
cer, (the sword excepted ). The prosecutors then took
their places on the rislit of the chair. General HOPE'S
right arm was in a sling. General WIIITKLOCKE
looked less corpulent than usual, but assumed a dig-
nified composure.

General WurrEtocKE made a request to the Court,
which we do not consider ourselves at liberty to detail
at present ; and the Court was cleared for about half
an hour during their deliberations upon the propriety
of acceding to it.
Upon the re-admission of the audience, the Judge-
Advocate-General began a most animated and ener-
getic address to the Court, and he continued speak-
ing at 12 o'clock, when our express came away.

The avenues to the Board Room, where the witnesses
assemble, were crowded with the Heroes of South
America, many of whom afforded the afflicting spec.
tacle of having bled copiously fur their country.

General Liniers to this Commons, and the wi•ners
returned to head trailers without any, after waiting
half an hour a. he had been directed. It was the
witoets who ex :mined the Spanith officers taken on
the ad, and be fpoke to the information they commu-
nicated, which proved to be falfe, as already detailed..

Admit al MURRAY called.
The witnefs detailed the exertions made in the
naval department to promote the fuccefs rf the ex-
pedition againil Buenos Ayres. General Whitelocke
informeA Admiral Murray, upon their feparating at
the Eneenada di Barragon, that when he (the Ge-
neral) came to the water tide with his army, near
Buenos Ayres, hi would communicate with the
nave ; anal accordingly the witnefs ordered (even]
tranfports dad vi6luallers to anchor as near Buenos
Ayres as they cold, which they did next day. On
the IA of July, perceiving the army on iri march on
the heights, Admiral Murray fent an officer on Chore
to receive initiations, rind when he returned, the
quantity of bread and fpirits required, was immedi-
ately landed. The Admiral flared that provifion might
have been landed, if rcquifite, at the Placa des l'oros,
in Buenos Ayres, fuch was the favourable difpolition
of the naval force. He had no doubt that the gun
boats could have sailed in the attack of the town
from the ea(r, but not fo effeflually as if it had taken
place from the weflward. He always underflood
that General Whitelocke meant to attack from the
weft, and the gun boats were accordingly Rationed
in order to co-operate. He cr ncluded his evidence
by delivering in the returns of the featnen (crying on.
(hove its drawing the artillery, &c.
General Whitelocke declined examining Ad
miral Murray j's euis Page 4f the trial. He pat one
question, however, rsfpeeting the difficulties a!tend-
d.c difembatkation at the Enema:a, to which
the Admiral replied, that the laniii" at firft was
ce.itainly attended with inconveniences, and Come of
the foldiers were wet, but in lefs than an hour a place
was found, where no difficulties attended the landing
of men, horfes, or artillery.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 26.

Came in the Marsouin French lugger privateer of

14. guns and 50 men, from St. Maloe's, which place
she sailed from about a week since, and after being at
sea two days, was captured off the Lizard by the
Iris, of 32 guns ; she had not taken any thing during I
her short cruize, but was about to take possession of
three British brigs at the time the Iris fell in with her;
and but for this ship would have carried them off.— i
By this lugger we have an account, that the Etalionj
and Sirenne French frigates, had escaped from St.
Maloe's, but their destination is not stated. It was
reported at St. Maloe's that the Brest fleet were also
out, as well as the Rochefort squadron. Came in the
Grand Argus French lugger privateer, of 14 guns
and 40 men, taken by the Seine, of 40 gulls, off the
Lizard ; she had been three days from Granville, and
had not taken any thing. Sailed the Isis, of 50 guns,
with the East India ships under convoy.

THIRTEENTH DAY.

Colonel MAII^N, of the 9th de agorns, who eons.
mended the fele' ve which was left by General Wh7:e
locke at Reindion, was tl►en called. He fpoke to
the numbers and Qrength of his cletachwev., and
give in the nfhi►.iel rettons—thefe have been a'. ready
detailed in the neufpapeis. He then read and deli
.vered in .the stations rders and counter otders he'
received from General Whitelocke, which will be
found in the evidence of C lonel Torrens, the next
witnefs. He laid he could, at any time have marched
from ReduOion to the fuhurbs of Buenas Aytes in
four hours,without the artillery,which lath he thought
would require twelve hcurs for its conveyance, from
I the many lwamps and rivulets. He ws pettedly
well convinced that abundance of provifions might
have been obtaineJ for the army, even ftom the
country itfelf, without having recoutfe to the Navy,
if patroles and piquets, &c. had besn fent cut to
fcour the country, and prepare the way for the march
of the troops by reconnoitering or otherwif:. While
at Redudion, the few dragoosns he had with him
daily. brought in more bullocks and Iheep than could
be tiled. _

Examined by General WHiTELocKt.
Were the fwamps on the mai& inch as are
ufual in other countries, or did they exceed any
detcriptiou ever given of them ? A. The difEcultie.
were certainly very unufual, and far greater titan any
defcr iption I ever heard of them.
oWas not theground on each bank-of the rivu
lets iwampy and difficult to pats, and did not the men
wade much on each day's march ? A. Yes.

QHow deep were tlioce rivulets ? A. They varied

QCottld you not have marched a greater dill ance

PARLIAMEATART PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JANUARY 27.

The Fart of Charleville and Lord Saltoun took the oaths and
their seats.

The Earrof Aylesford stated, that his Majesty had been waited
upon with the address of that House, and had been pleased to re-
turn a most gracious answer. His Majesty's answer was ordered
to be printed. _ _

Colonel DRINICWATICIt, from the Commissioners of Military•
Enquiry, presented the fifth Report of that Board, relative to the
Army Medical Department, which Was ordered to be printed.

APPEALS.

On a petition being presented to set down an appeal for hear-
ing on a bye day,
The LORD CHANCELLOR took the opportunity of declar-
ing his decided opposition to the practice of taking appeals out of
their regular course, unless there were some extraordinary cir-
cumstances in a case, which rendered it expedient that it should
be so heard. lit considered it, however. a practice pregnant with
so much injustice to caller parties who bad appeals before the
House, many of which had been a long time on the paper, that
nothing but the absolute pleasure of the House should compel him
to take an appeal out of its turn. He hoped to be enabled in a
few days to propose to the House some regulations respecting
appeals. This, and other petitions for bye days, were ordered to
lie on the table.

cutor to retire into occasionally. The bar is between
the seat of the Advocate-General and the apartments
before mentioned. The table at which the Officers
who compose the Court Martial sit is covered with
green cloth. A small table is placed on each side the

cutor and prisoner. The floor is covered with mat-
ting, and the Hall is warmed by German stoves.
The witnesses are to go to the Board-room by the
weitern square ; and on their entrance in the Hall,

Examined by the Cour►.

I think I Surrendered about a quarter before
twelve. I clever received any communication from
General Whitelocke during this time, nor do I think
Any perfon could pnffibly come through the tremen.
dous fire I left behind me. If there had been a pof
fibility of reporting to General Whitelocke before I
furrei.dered, I did n'u know where he was to be
found. According t. my own ideas I Should have
fent to the !Aileron for Gen. Whitelocke.

Q2eilions by General WH LOCK a.
Should yogi not have reported, as a matter of
courfe, to head quarters if you could not report to
your own Brigade Mejor ? A. Certainly.
Were the flints taken out of the arms at head
quarters not put into the pouches, and were there no
ipAre flints ? A. If they obeyed my orders they
ought to have had fpare flints. I cannot lay what
they did with them they took out.

Major VANDELEOR Called.
I commanded the left wing of the 88th regiment
at the attack of Buenos Ayres. About five o'clock
in the morning Colonel Duff cleared me to move
the three companies of the 88th, being one half, to
General Lumley's house, which was about too
yar is to the left of the regiment, and to report to
him my arrival, be heing under arms, which order I
execu•ed. Shortly after this another company joined
me. General Lumley ordered me to move my front
as far as the advanced picquets, and there wait till
the fignal guns fired. I alked General Lumley if
he had any particular orders to give ? he anfwered,
the detail already given, was to penetrate through
the fireets to the water's edge, or as far as I could
and there lodge myfelf to the bell advantage, but
charged me particularly to allow no firing. I par.
ticularly req.retled him to give me fume information
relative to the mode of defence of the edirny, or
what oppofition I was likely to meet. He replied.
he knew no more than I did, but that k was parti-
cularly neceffary, if poffible, to penetrate into the
tiretts.

seizure, by the French, of the Apostolic Governor of
Rome.—The following is the substance of Nos. XIV.
and XV.—

" Napoleon, by the Grace of Gon, &c.—Whercas the tem-
poral Sovereign of Rome has refused to make war against Eng-
land, and the interests of the two kingdoms, that of Italy and
Naples, demand that their communications should not lx toter-
cepted by a hostile Power; and whereas the donation of Ch;rl--
rnagne, our illustrious predecessor, of the countries which form
the Holy See, was for the good of Christianity, and not for that
of the enemies of our holy religion : we therefore decree that
Urbino, Ancona, Macerata, and Carnation, be for ever united
with the kingdom of Italy ; to which kingdom all Cardinal Pre-
lates, &c. natives of those districts, are commanded to return by
