COURT OF DIVIIIZT AT catts.rit.

THIRD DAY.
The butt Commenced their proceedings this mop.
itsg at half past ten o'clock.
sir ARTHUR Waxesxer rose, and said he was ec-
oloy anxious that a correct statement of what he
bo said on Thursday should go before the Court and
*Public : he had put into writing the sentiments he
log then delivered, which he requested might now be
pd by the Judge-Advocate.
The paper handed in was then read, and was ver-
iog wi:h what we stated to have fallen from Sir AR-
ova in our report of yesterday, with the exception
lot is the paper given in today, Sir ARTHUR states,
bat he differed from the Commander in Chief on
oripoints than one in the Armistice, but not with re-
,put tv permitting the French to evacuate Portu-
pl: his reasons for agreeing to this he would lay be-
fore the Court in the course of its investigation.
lie also observed to the Court, that he thought it
necessar , in justice to certain individuals, to gate,
y
that although in a private letter to Lord CASTLE-
itzAGH, he had apparently thrown some reflections
upon those connected with the Commissariat depart-
ment on the Expedition to Portusal, and which letter
he Dever expected would meet the eye of the public,
yet he now thought it necessary to say, that the evils he
bad to complain of in that department did not arise from
say wain of zeal, but from the youth and inexperience
dthose whom Ministers had appointed to that service.
• After Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY had sat down, the
Jtinoc ADVOCATZ proceeded to read the documents
laid before the Court—The first was :
A private letter from Sir HEW DALRYMPLE to
Lord Casrtencaorn dated Cintra, Sept. S, and ac-
companying the dispatches already made public.—ln
this letter, Sir Hew states, that soon after the Con-
vention of Cintra was signed, but not before, he
learned from certain looks and gestures of the
Portuguese General, that something was taken
amiss, in consequence of the Provisional Go-
vernment of Portugal not having been consulted.—
Ile stated to the General, that 'he conceived the ca-
pitulation with Juror to be a measure in its nature
entirely military, and between the Generals of two
contending armies stipulating upon terms with which
to third party l.ad a right to interfere. He then pro-
ceeds to inform Lord CASTLEREAGH, that when he saw
less and other marks of discontent on the part of,
General FUME &ANDRADE, he requested him to state
bis objections in writing, which he accordia3ly did,
and which form part of the inclosures of this letter.
Sir Haw Dmaaxtme neat states, that he had no
news from Spain except what Sir ARTHUR WELLES-
LEY had communicated to him ; but that, in terms of
his Lordship's instructions, he would hasten to com-
municate with CASTANOS and with the 'Andalusian
Government, and would immediately send off the
Spanish troops liberated in terms of the Convention,
to join the Patriots.
The next document read, was the protest of Gene-
ral d'ANDeaDe.--It was read in French—A trans-
lation of it was given in the STALL of the 26th Sep-
tember.

PORTSMOUTH, NOVEMBER. lg.

Arrived his Majesty's ships Isis, from Newfound,
laud ; and DIOMEDE, from Guernsey.—Wind Wt
blows hard.

DEAL, NOVEMBER 17.

It has blown very hard all this day and stilt con.
tinues. Several sail of homeward-bound merchant ,
vessels have arrived from the Westward, and brought
up in the Downs with signals for Pilots flying. A
brig (under quarantine, name unknown) has a signal
of distress and another for a Pilot flying, but no boat
will go to her assistance, although she has drove very
considerably, having two anchors a-head. Several
Pilots have been put on board ships by the Custom-
House boat, the Deal men being determined not to
render their assistance till the grievances of which'
they complain are settled. • I
NovEstann 18.—A privateer brig, and the above- I
mentioned quarantine brig, with a ship, cut their ca.
bles (it blowing harder than it did yesterday) and I
run for Ramsgate Pier : the privateer and ship got
safe in, but the quarantine brig brought up between
Ramsgate and Brpadstairs. The transport ship, let-
tered D C, drove upwards of three miles, with two
anchors a-head, but is at present riding safe in the
Downs. Arrived the Citoeus sloop, from a cruize off
the coast of France ; PODARGUS sloop, from a cruize
off Boulogne.—Wind S. S. W. and continues to blow
a very heavy gale ; all the ships of war ride very snug
and safe; it is feared if the gale continues, several
vesstls will be lost.

The Reply of Sir Hew to this Remonstrance was
then read, in which he states, that it was in the
power of General d'ANunitoe, who was on the
spot, at any time during tho negotiations, to have
suggested or recommended any measure which he
thought would serve the interests of Portugal; and
sir HEW expresses his surprise that he never received
any expression of dissatisfaction till after the Treaty
was signed. This Reply concludes with stating, that
Sir HEW had lost no time in causing Colonel Mutt RAY
to make a confidential communication to the Chiefs
of the Portuguese Government the instant the nego-
tiation commenced.

The next document read was a letter from Sir HEW 1
DALRYMPLE to Lord CASTLEREAOII, dated Sept. 30,
in which he complains of the badness of the horses
attached to the artillery, and requests a supply of 300
horses from England; observing that a great number
of guns must be left behind when the army marches
forward. He concludes by stating that he had di-
rected the Spanish troops, released at Lisbon, to be
embarked for Spain, and had given them 10,000
stand of arms.
The autho:.:ty from Sir IL: DALRYMPLE to`Co-
lonel MomAI-, to negotiate with KELLERMAN, was
then read. It is dated 25th August. This was fol-_
lowed by the reading of several Notes which passed
between Sir HEW DALRYMPLE and Colonel Mugam('
but of minor importance.
The Convention itself was next read, and some
musters.--The Court was left sitting when our Re-
porter came away at one o'clock.
The Dukes of CUMBERLAND and CAMBRIDGE. were
present, besides a great concourse of fashionable; of
both sexes.

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.
We have experienced a heavy gale the whole of
this day, and are fearful shall hear cf some of the
shipping in the Downs having sustained damage.

GREENOCK, NOVEMBER 16.
Arrived here on Monday night, the St. Andrew
Rrrente (a running ship), from Trinidad, after a
passage of nine weeks. Sailed from thence in com-
pany with the General Stewart cutter, MURRAY mas-
ter, bound fir Falmouth. On the 13th September,
Grenada bearing N. distant 6 to 7 leagues, saw a
strange sail in chace of them, which they soon after
discovered to be a French lugger privateer, of l 0 or 12
guns, and full of men. Early on the morning of the
15th, the St. Andrew shortened sail for the General
Stewart (tile privateer still continuing in chace), and
commenced firing her stern chasers at the enemy.—
There being little wind at the time, and the priva-
teer, from using her sweeps, coming up fast, and it
appearing to Captain R. from her manner of manceu-
vering, that she was resolved to capture the General
Stewart, he, for the purpose of preventing this, de-
termined to engage her, and an action shortly after
commenced at half musket shot, which lasted for
upwards of an hour, when, notwithstanding the ut-
most exertions of Captain R. and his gallant crew,
the privateer succeeded in boarding and capturing the
General Stewart, a little after which the privateer and
the cutter hove to, and the firing ceased. Capt. R. now
employed his time in filling cartridges, and repairing
some guns that were dismounted during the action,
expecting, from perceiving a number of men on
board the cutter, to be attacked by both during the
night, but at day-light of the. 17th the privateer eed
the cutter were nearly out of sight, bearing west.—
None of the crew of the St. Andrew, we are happy
to state, were hurt, though the enemy, during the
action, kept up an incessant fire a great guns and
fire-arms : the enemy must have suffered severely.
Capt. R. speaks in terms of the highest commenda-
tion of the steadiness and gallantry displayed by his
