Colonel MONRitv, of the Royal ArtilierY, the De-
puty Judge Advocate, Welly opened the case for
the prOiei:titioti. lie read a report made by Ensign
Daltbh, of the First, or Royals, the officer on duty
on the night .in question, of the conduct of Lieut.
Brooke upon that occasion ; which report, However,
he admitted, as it wat: di ate n Up from the statement
of others, WAS hot evidence. He then called the
folloWing witnesses :

Ensign Henry Augustus Dalton, of the Ist Royals,
knew Lieutenant Brooke. Witness was on duty at
Chatham on the 27th of Jump htht; was officer of
the piquet. The report shown to the witness was
his report. Serjeant Richardson, of the 13th Light
Infantry, and Corporal Graham, of the 63d Regi-
ment of Foot, belonged to the piquet that day, and
some privates of the Marines, whose names the wit-
ness could not recollect. He saw Lieutenant Brooke
at half-past nine o'clock on that evening, near Chat-
ham Barrier. He was in coloured clothes, and or-
dered out the piquet. Witness ordered them in
again. Mr. Brooke was not sober. He was then
going down to Chatham.

Corporal John Graham, of the 63d Regiment,
was on duty on piquet on the 27th of June -last.—
He knows Lieutenant Brooke by seeing him there.
lie cannot say he saw him on the 27th of June last
in Chatham, but he saw him on that day in the
barraeks here. Witness went the rounds between
eleven and twelve o'clock that night. Ile cannot
say it was Lieutenant Brooke he saw that night.—
Was struck by a gentleman, but cannot say whether
he was the gentleman or not. The gentleman struck
him in the face with his fist. Seijeant Richardson,
of the 13th Light Infantry, was with the piquet.---
Richard Mawdeesley, James Duff, and Lawrence
Mansfield, of the Royal Marines, were also on the
piquet that night. Witness was struck three times
by the same gentleman. The gentleman was dressed
in a coloured coat, white trousers, and a round hat.
Re was in liquor. There was another gentleman
with him at first; a crowd was afterwards collected.
This occurred opposite the Globe Inn, in Chatham.

Cross•examineaWitness never before received
any unkindness at the hand of Lieut. Brooke, nor
then to his knowledge.
Sergeant Peter Richardson, of the 13th Light
Infantry, was on piquet at Chatham on the 27th
June. Mr. Dalton was the officer of the piquet.
Corporal Graham was one of the officers of the piquet
that day, Knows Lieut. Brooke; cannot say it was
Lieut. Brooke he saw on that night; the person
said he was Lieut. Brooke of the 46th ; saw him
between 11 and 12 o'clock at night in Globe-lane;
witness reported to the officer of the piquet that a
gentleman had struck a corporal on duty. The gen-
tleman who struck the corporal said he was in the
45th and said in a few minutes afterwards Ito
was Lieutenant Brooke of the 45th refit. lie was
dressed in a dark coat, white trowsers, and a round
hat ; he was not sober ; he went into the Globe
Inn; witness did not go in after him.
On cross-examination the witness admitted that
he had stated in the presence of some of the officers
that he could not swear that it was Lieut. Brooke
he saw that night ; he had said so because he Avi3hed
the thing to be dropped, and not brought before a
Court Martial; but now that he was on his oath he
must swear that he can identify him as the person.
By the Cotm—The circumstances of the assault
were these : As the piquet were going along, the
gentleman said, " There goes the thundering
piquet." The corporal went up to him, and said,
" My friend, you had better mind what you are
saying, and not molest people on duty." 'Witness
told him he would take him to the piquet house.
He said he would see witness and the piquet—first;
that he was a gentleman, and an officer of the 45th
regiment. It was a dark night, but there was a lamp
over the Globe door.

Here the case for the prosecution closed.
The Court re-assembled next day, when a long
defence was read on the part of Lieut. Brooke.
After commenting upon the unusual length of his
confinement, and the mental suffering it had pm-
duced, it proceeded to the following remarks upon
the evidence :

" I will now with permission of the Court, call
their attention, as briefly as possible, to the evidence
by which these charges are sought to be supported;
first trusting to the candour of the Deputy Judge
Advocate for forgiveness when I observe, that after
admitting that an official report, founded upon the
statement of another person, was not evidence
against me, he would have more effectually guarded
my case against all chance of being prejudiced by
the contents of that document, if he had not read
those contents to the Court. Although, however,
this was not strictly regular, I am quite certain that
the gallant individual who read it was not aware at
the moment that his so doing was otherwise ; satis-
fied as I am, that so far from willingly aggravating
the case, by illegal or irregular evidence, he would
infinitely prefer seeing the legal proofs against me
diminished, or removed altogether. But there is
one expression in that report to which, since it has
been read, I cannot help adverting, as being some-
what uncalled for, and at variance with the circum-
stances upon the statement of which the report was
made. The officer making that report thought
proper to assert, that I, " in coloured clothes and in
disguise," had struck Corporal Graham. Now what
is the account given by the individual on the faith of
whose statement the report was drawn up ? That
a gentleman calling himself Lieutenant Brooke,
of the 15th Regiment, had acted in . that manner.
What then is meant by the addition, " and in dis-
guise." Was I in coloured clothes and in
other disguise also ? Or was it by calling
out that I was Lieutenant Brooke of the Vith
Regiment that I meant to " disguise" myself?
Upon the direct evidence of Ensign Dalton I have
little to observe. He states that I was out in
coloured clothes, at half-past nine o'clock, on die
night of the 27th of June, in company with a friend,
and that I was not sober'—two facts which I have
never attempted to deny. I am as little disposed to
deny having worn coloured clothes, as stated by Mr.
Dalton, or that I was aware of the existence of a
general regulation forbidding officers in garrison or
quarters from appearing out of uniform ; but in
ao doing,l acted under an impression—a mistaken one
jam now bound to believe it—that thisregulation was
not strictly enforced on occasions when an officer,after
having discharged all the duties of the morning,
might feel disposed to visit a place of amusement or
recreation, where he was liable to he mixed up with
the inhabitants, who were well known particularly in
this garrison and its sitighbourhood, to entertain feel-
ings of no very conciliatory nature towards the military.
In observing upon the rest of the evidence, it will be
only necessary to direct the attention of the Court
to that part of it which relates to the third charge
—namely, the assault upon Corporal Graham. And

wlitit are the facts sworn to As the piquet is
proceeding along the street, some person in plain
clothes, whom not one ot' the witnesses pretends to
say he kneW at the time, was heard to observe,
" Here comes the thundering piquet." Now, there
was nothing very heinous in all this. The expres-
Sion was, perhaps, a senseless one; but it conveyed
nothing calculated {to give offence; indeed, if any
things it rather Conveys a cOntfary idea, for when
the word " thtindering" is applied to the movement
of soldiers, it naturally excites in the imagination
ideas associated with prowess and intrepidity. Un-
fortvnately; however; the cOrpoial of the pipet
forgot that standing tieder of the garrison which
forbade him to interfere with the inhabitants; and,
instc44 ‘;`. passing on,as iv IYP to have done,
went up to the individual in question, and cOtiVettett
this idle observation into a molestation of the piquet.
This witness also states, that although he did not
know Me that night, yet be tecogniS-ed me as the
person. who struck the corporal When he saw me on
the folloWing day% Now; there is stiniething very
peculiar in the conduct and testimony of this witness.
He had seen me, and known me, previously to this
occurrence; he does not recognize me that night,
notwithstanding that previous knowledge ; but he
does recognize me the next morning as being the
person *both lie had seen and been unable to re-
cognize the night befofe; Nclw; is not this ex-
tremely inconsistent 7 Is it credible ? Is it safe to
depend on such testimony ? But this is not all. In
the early part of his testimony, he distinctly swears
that he is unable to say that the person who assault-
ed Corporal Graham on that night was Lieutenant
Biooke ; any further than that the person in question
called himself Lieut. Brooke; and yet in a few,
minutes afterwards he states in the most unqualified
manner that I was the person who had so acted.
But I hope and trust that the Court will exclude
such evidence from their consideration altogether.
The defence concluded by an appeal to the Court,
to treat the conduct of the accused as an excess of
bOyish intemperance, and a reference to the services
of his family in the army.
No evidence was offered on the park of the pri-
soner; and the JUDGE ADVOCATE having stated
that he had nothing to observe in reply to the de-
fence, the Court was cleared, and the members pro-
ceeded to deliberate upon their sentence. At four
o'clock they again adjourned to the following day
(Saturday), when their deliberations terminated.
The result will not. be known until the proceed-
ings shall first have been laid before the King.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Debuts.)

PARIS, SEI'T. 15.,---The Treaty of London, dated
July 6, was presented to the Divari as the *Ulti-
matum on August 16, by the English, French, and
Russian Ambassadors. An Extraordinary Courier
brought this news to Paris the day before yesterday.
The warlike attitude of the Porte continued. The
Reis Effendi received the Note of the three Powers
with disdain. In general it is believed that the Di-
van will persist in its first refusal. The acceptance
of the Ultimatum is hardly thought possible, from
the effect which it would inevitably produce on the
people. The delay of thirty days, reduced to fifteen,
can only have added to the irritation of the Divan;
and the art•ival of the European fleets in the Archi-
pelago announces the approach of the decisive day.
The answer of the Porte ought to be delivered on
the Slat of August. Then the negotiations will
entirely cease; and if the Porte continues to repel
all foreign mediation, the Ambassadors of the Powers
which have signed the Treaty must leave Con-
stantinople immediately. It is the first step tia.
wards a war of interference, which will no doubt
be more efficacious with the Divan than the method
of persuasion. The news from the East ;s looked
for with anxiety. The report spread yesterday
evening of the Russian army having passed the
-Pruth, is at least premature.

PATUS, SEPT. 15.—Letters from Perpignan, of
the Bth instant, contain the following intelligence
The Ist and 2d battalions of the Ist Swiss Regi-
ment had received orders to be ready to march to-
day. The first battalion was destined to reinforce
the garrison of Figueras ; the second to relieve the
1-3 d regiment on Collioure, Bcllegarde, Fort-les-
Barris, and Prats-de-Mclla. The 13d was to col-
lect at Perpignan, and return, it was said, into the
interior. To-day the first battalion has received dif-
ferent orders, arid the second has not yet marched.
All the plain of Tarragona is in a state of rebellion.
The Brigadier-General Romagosa, who commanded
at Mataro for Ferdinand, has gone over to the other
party, with a Monk named Father Pagnal; he was
appointed by the Provincial Provisionary Junta to
make himself master of Tarragona. The con-
spiracy was detected by the officers and troops of
the garrison ; they displaced the Governor Core-
pigny,, who was accused of being in league with
the conspirators. As soon as the Royalist volunteers
saw that the conspiracy was detected, they went
to the prisons to deliver the prisoners of their
party, who had been sent from Tortosa, and pro-
ceeded to join the rebels. The troops of the Pro-
vincial Junta are organizing, battalions are forming,
and the cavalry begins to assume the appearance of
regulars; it is well mounted and equipped. The
Province is divided among several Chiefs, under
the orders of the Junta. Saperes (called Caragol)
commands at Manresa; Romagosa in the plain of
Tarragona; the Duke of Berga, at Berga;
Balles-
ter, from Girona to Mataro ; and Hyacinthe Castan,
at Olot. The Junta has announced its installation
by proclamations printed and . distributed through
all the parishes. The Chiefs have done the same,
while the Marquis of Campo Sagrado treats as rebels
to the authority of the King, the Junta and the
malcontents ; the latter, on the contrary, assert
their fidelity and obedience to their adored monarch,
Den Ferdinand VII. as you may see by the follow-
ing proclamation, published at Olot, by one of their
Chiefs

" CASTAN, TO TILE ROYALIST VOLUNTEERS OF 01.0:r•

" As soon as you were informed of the object kept
in view by those who have taken up arms to de-
fend the sacred rights of our Monarch, you hastened
to join our ranks, and augment the number of those
who are the defenders of a just cause. Some of you
have lately presented yourselves—circumstances
have not permitted you to engage in active service.
You offered to take up arms to preserve public tran-
quillity, and defend the villages, should they be at-
tacked by forces which leave those paths that con-
duct us to honour. I am satisfied with this solemn
promise; and to prove to you how high a price I set
on it, you shall preserve your equipments and your
arms. I rely on your loyalty and your honour, per-
suaded that you will redouble your zeal to obtain a
fortunate result for our glorious enterprise, in
order, after you have obtained it, and have exter-
minated those vile sectarians who infect Spain
by
,their secret societies, that we may thank
the Almighty for having saved the holy Ca-
tholic religion, and may obey our adored Monarch,
Ferdinand VII., governing Spain freely in the ful-
ness of his power. Repose in these promises : the
protection of God never leaves those whom he sin-
cerely loves, and never deceives those who serve
him. Let your conduct be in harmony with what
we say, and the victory will be yours. Be assured
that if any danger threatens us, I will never aban-
don you, and you will find your Commander in the
midst of danger.
(Signed) " JACINTO CASTAN."

The Tribunal of the First Instance has decided,
that foreigners are subject to the French Courts
when the plaintiff, though a foreigner, is in company
with a Frenchman. MM. Roberts and Langeois
brought an action against some English physicians,
laying their damages at 20,000 francs, for causing
them to be deprived of the title of apothecaries to
the English Embassy. The defendants pleaded that
M. Roberts being a foreigner, like them, could not
have any claim for the interference of the Tribunal.
The Tribunal, however,.-decided against them.

LONDON,.
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1827.

The Paris Papers of Saturday morning have
been received, but they add little to the intelli-
gence furnished by the Gazette de France of
Sunday, which we received yesterday by express.
The situation of Spain deepens in misery and
crime. The rebels increase daily in power, and
scour the country with barbarous arrogance.
The people are flying in every direction before
them, and the minor fortresses afford no protec-
tion, as the strength of the rebels enables
them to overawe the troops composing the
garrisons. Indeed, we suspect very much that
there is a secret understanding in the whole
affair between rebels and soldiers ; and, if FER-
DINAND be not at the bottom of it, his Royal
authority stands on a very precarious footing.

No fresh news haS been received from Greece.
Every thing now depends upon the decision of
the SULTAN. He is, at last, reduced to the
alternative of Peace or War,—humiliation if
he submit,—and destruction if lie oppose.
—There is no saying what a man of his
proud character . may do ; but we think,
that in a mind of such resolution and princely,
though unpolished greatness, the voice of pru-
dence will whisper peace. He must know how
utterly hopeless it is to rise in arms against the
combined forces of England, France, and Russia,
when the undisciplined and scattered banditti of
Greece kept in check, if they did not absolutely
defeat, his armies—and chased his fleets from
the seas. No, no, the Porte may be • strong
enough to repress the insolence of a disaf-
fected Bey, but it is not powerful' enough
to oppose the formidable alliance now ranged
against it. The' SULTAN may have it all
his own way against the Janissaries and the
rabble of Constantinople, but the fleets and armies
of Europe arc different things. He may bluster
through the irresponsible lips of the REIs EF-
FENDI to the Ambassadors of the Great Powers,
but he must hold a different language to the
martial array now concentrating on Constantino-
ple. A few days will settle the point. Much of
the arrogant bearing of the SULTAN is attribut-
able to the insidious counsel of Austria, whose
Ambassador has recently proved by his conduct
how much she is interested in the fate of Turkey.
But in the event of the SULTAN proceeding to
extremities, we suspect that Austria would lose
more than she will gain, should she hazard a
joint partnership with his Sublime Mightiness.

We received this morning the Allgemeine
Zcitung, and Frankfort Papers, to the 12th inst.
Their contents principally relate to Greece.
The knowledge that the Great Powers have
interfered in the cause of the Greeks, has
diffused universal joy and enthusiasm. It is
again said, that the Egyptian fleet, of 80 sail,
with 6,000 men on board, is ready to proceed
to Modon, from which " it will probably attack
Hydra," as the account states ; but we apprehend
the fleet and troops will find enough to do
if they fall in with the English or French Squa-
dron. The Impartial Observer has a virulent
I . 1,
al,4uaen on the character of Lord COCHRANE,
who is jeered at for the ineffectual aid which he
brought to the cause of Greece ; but the
paper says with justice that the fault did
not rest with his Lordship, but with the wretched
materials entrusted to his charge :—.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 23d, inform us
that the treaty of the three Powers was at length pre-
sented on the 16th, and that the time given to the Divan
to reply, was fixed for the 31st or August. The Reis
Effendi received the note so very coldly, that many persons
are persuaded that he will not even lay it before the Divan.
The military armaments have since been prosecuted with
redoubled activity, and as the great Egyptian expedition of
100 sail has actually left Alexandria for the Morea, it is
believed that the Porte will hold out to the last extremity.
All the European Ministers sent couriers to their Courts.

The Impartial Obsertei of e.St'erdaY, has the following
article upon Lord Cochrane :—" This titan suffered him-
self to be long intreated and expected before he wifuld place
his celebrity at the disposal of the Greeks. Though he is
the Ai+ Alessjah, be has not yet accomplished the mystery of
their rederuptidl4 thiS is not his fault; it is well known
that he wants neither cOtirtlO tire ability. if he has nut
ye: effected more, it is because the eleihente which he has
to work With would not allot' it. Perhaps liOtrotly is
ii-t7orn conylitced of this than himself. On his arrival iii
Greece he foitnd things in a state very different from what
the journals had annointed tp him. He was forced to
begin by preaching unanitnityil and he was sensible just
time enough that, whether he swore tie the gospels or on
his word, it Wag advisable to introduce a prudent reserva-
tion in his oath to the cause of Greece. Under the witlfs
of Athens he had the first opportunity to congratulate him-
self on this oratorical precaution. He saw there how 300
Turks defended tbentselvesagainst 10,000 Greeks, at length
capitulated, and were murdered after the capitulation.—
Some days after this the whete Greek army took to flight,
and hurried him along with it, when a little courage might
have delivered Athens. He then resolved' to encourage
and employ the fleet. He was suffered to pet to sea with
the frigate and three or four corvettes. All the reef pf the
fleet required time for consideration. In the Gulf of Cla-
ranza the meeting with two ;Egyptian corvettes should have
given him the first opportunity to show his well-known
great talents as a seaman. The result was to the advantage
of the corvette, for they escaped from a sixty-four-gun
frigate. At length he appeared, with 20 other Greek
ships, before Alexandria, to repeat, with Canaris, the at-
tempt once before made by the latter. He met with little
obedience and good-will in the cause, and thus the oppor-
tunity was lost of burning a part of the Egyptian fleet,
which was crowded in the narrow channels when sailing to
meet him. Hereupon the Egyptians pursued him for five
days, and the Greeks hastened to Poros and Hydra, where
they now are. These are the operations in which his
Lordship has hitherto been engaged.

The daring conduct of the Spanish Guarda
Costas, in forcibly cutting out a vessel while under
the protection of the guns of Gibraltar, has naturally
excited very indignant feelings in the minds of
those merchants who trade in that quarter.
The insult was so unprovoked and unjustifiable
as to call for immediate chastisement, and. we
have no doubt that it will be promptly inflicted,
unless the vessel be given up and due reparation
made for such wanton misconduct. Probably
the 'Spaniards exceeded their orders and felt
themselves partly justified in attacking a vessel
bearingcontraband goods, but their hostility ought
to have ceased the moment she passed into the
jurisdiction of England. The thing appears
altogether unaccountable upon any other suppo-
sition than that they exceeded their duty in their
zeal to seize a vessel, which they had probably
suspected upon some recent occasion. We feel
satisfied that due atonement will be required and
made.

CITY, MELP.M CLOCK.

We are without any foreign intelligence toklay of
the slightest importance. Ship letters have arrived
from Rio, but they are of old dates, consequently
the ratification of the treaty still remains a matter of
uncertainty. The letters from Alexandria ate filled
with complaints of the repkate- a►ts
the Ph-etes 5 the Channel between caiidla and Bar-
bary has of late been so infested that almost every
vessel is plundered by them.
In the English Money market the business has
been exceedingly limited ; the operations of the
principal jobbers and speculators for the present ap-
pear to be suspended. Consols for the account
opened this morning at 87, the present quotation

In the Foreign Market the Mexican Bonds con-
tinue the chief objects of attention; a rumour has
been in circulation this morning that a meeting took
place yesterday at Messrs. Baring's counting house,
between the partners of that house and Monsieur
Rocafuerte, the result of which was of a nature to
inspirit the Bondholders. We do not ourselves
place any reliance in this report; we believe that M.
Rocafuerte was in the city yesterday, and at Messrs.
Baring's, but our information leads us to believe that
the result of the conference held was not by any
means of a nature to induce us to expect any further
steps having been adopted towards the payment of
the dividend on the let of October. M. Rocafuerte
is report'd to be in the city again to-day, and it
is hoped some interview may take place, which will
relieve him from the uncomfortable situation in
which he is placed, and at the same time hold forth
some hopes that the dividends will be forthcoming
when due. Such appears to be the opinion of many
individuals, and the Bonds have rather improved in
consequence ; they were done, at the opening of the

During the whole of last week the prisonery
confined in Whiteeross-street prison have been amusing
themselves by a mock election for a member to serve in
Parliament for that close borough. Mr. Sheriff Fare-
brother, on hearing of the intended election, visited the
prison, and stated that he should not interrupt the proceed-
ings if the peace of the prison were preserved. The pri-
soners promised that there should be no breach of the
peaces and the promise was faithfully kept.
