GENT of PoitruGAL, at her departure, had no intention
of returning to his European possessions, and he
seemed well satisfied with reserving his South Ame-
rican possessions. The NEREUS is on her passage

specie. •

tended period as to all other articles than bark and
barilla, not already warehoused, twelve months be-
yond the legal term, reaches to Ist Juts:, 1815.

Judge Advocate, read his M tj,.sty's W 'mint for
holding the General Court-Martial, after which he
proceeded to Omar eaci of the M ambers ; and the

the Judge Advocate then read the charges, four in
number, preferred by Lieutenant-C,,ionel Cumuli
P.ttramt, belonging to the same teginunt. Colonel
QUEN taw pleaded N rt Glary.
The Prosecutor then addreLscd the CGurt, in the
course of which he observed, that the painful task
which devolved on him was no way mixed with per-
sonal animosity, but was the result of imperi- us duty
to his King and count: y ; and he was well aware
that that justice each of them now song' t for from
the M to' ..r. comp sitig the Ilon;,urable Court would
be from the Jecisi.ll of an impartial tribunal.
The Court :ac uncommonly crowded at the cosn•
mencement ; and from the nature of the charges it
is expected that the investigation will contiaue
some time.

Lieutenant-General JOW'S was tl:e first evidence
that was called for the prosecution but as the Court
prohibited any publication of the proceedings, the re.
spect we owe to authority prevents oar Bring into
p:trticulars, or even printiog the charges—the publi.
cation of which in some the Morning Papers of
this day WAS highly it probated by the Court.

Castlereagh, purporting to he from his Grace the
Duke of Wellington. This the Guard. with much
fear and reluctance, complied with : it was inst.-..itly
opened, and found, instead of important dispatches,
to contain many small valuable packages of contra.
band articles, addressed to distingMshed persons in
this country. Sharp's seizure of course was made,
bat he allowed the mail to continue its journey.
