Regiment, was shot on the parade ground, pursuant
to the •sentence of a General Court Martial held on
him, for an attempt lately, with others of his corps,
to rise in mutiny against their Officers The garri-
son, consisting of the C-oth Regiment, a detachment.
of the Royal Artillery, and a company of the 6th
West India, attended on the occasion, as did
crowd of spectators ; the scene was truly awful while
it lasted, and the effect it had on the countenances of
the soldiers of the 90th Regiment, was such as
strongly marked their attachment to their Sovereign,
and their abhorrence of the crime for which the cul-
prit. justly suffered, whilst his countenance exhibited
at once remorse for his crime, and resignation to his
fate.

lately driven to sea in aheavy squall. They had not
at the time more than a week's provision on board ;

was captured on her passage by the Mouche French
privateer, who took her crew, And put on board
three Frenchmen and two Spaniards, to carry her to
Guadeloupe, leaving however oa board the owner of
the schooner, Mr. Buchanan, and his black servant
boy. The prize-master being driven from his course
by the appearance of an English cruiser to within
sight of Dominica, Mr. Buchanan and his boy re-
solved to attempt to retake the vessel. They accord-
inly threw the fellow at the helm overboard, and,
after a sharp contest, drove the four others below,
when he made for the land. The foremast, however,
went by the board, and being unable to refit, he took
to the boat, compelling the four prisoners to accom-
pany him, and to work the oars. After 17 hours
rowing, they reached Roseau, where he delivered the
prisoners tip
