" The day before yesterday I quitted Napoli, After
having signed different dispatches for you, of Which
will be the bearer. I have received your di:-
patches of the led (14th) Feb. last, from which. I perceive.,
that you have contracted in London a second loan for
the Government, and • I transmit at present those
patches to Napoli di Romania. Our fleet. has sailed
out, and I hope it will be able to meet that of the enemy,
which left Modon immediately after having landed
troops there, perhaps• on account of its having heaid
that our's was on the way to attack it.
it The Egyptian troops diseMbirked at Modon,.
amounted, as detai!ed in the dispatches. which P
tikes; to about ten thousand men, and I have the satis-
faction to announce to you, that according tcr intelli
genee which I have this moment received from the
bead-quarters, the enemy has experienced what-might
have been expected from sd rash an enterprise, for, in
a sanguinary engagement near Nayarit', on the 15th
(27th1 instant, our troops, under the command of Ge-
nerals Caratasos, H. Cristo:, Caraiscakis, Zavellas, and
Scourtis, after a great slaughter, put the enemy to flight.
A body of WOO Egyptians was surrounded on all sides,
tad it is-thought they all perished or were taken pti-
zone's. I cannot give you more satisfactory intelli-
gence. I shall remain here two or three days, to send
forward different corps of troops ; and afterwards I
shall proceed in the first place to Modon, to inspect the
divisions which are there; and thence I shall go through
Arcadia to Patras, to join the troops which blockade
that fortress-; and from that place I hope I shall be able
to give you other pleasing news."

attending which were given in the STslt, in the re-
port of the trial. Several affidavits were now deliieled.
into. Court in behalf of the defendant.

Mr. Justice HArLEY said it was a painful duty on
his part to have to. pass the sentence of the Court
upon an Officer of rank : a Gentleman who, on the tes-
timony of many individuals, had conducted himself,
thith the exception of the transaction which hrbught
him before the Call! t, in the most exemplary inanuer.

challenged Lord H. with intention to provoke him to
fight a duel, had found Guilty, and on the evidence

ADNIIRALTY BUsSIONt, MAY. Is.
The High Court of Admiralty met this morning,
at eleven o'clock, at the Sessions House, Old Miley;
for the purpose of passing sentence upon Ilugh
Hastings and Alexander 11Iaorhage, alias Mohage,
alias mohard, who were convicted on the Bth of Fe-
bruary last. At that time the prisoners were indicted
on four counts, vit.-Ist, for cOnspiri'ng to carry off
the ship called the HaVannah packet ; 241 y, fOr endea-
vouring to corrupt the crew, and to aid and abet them.
in such act: 3dty, for causing a mutiny ; and 4thl7,
for carrying astray the said ship.
Lord STOWELL, addressing them, said they were
convicted at the last Sessions of that Courtufshe crime
of mutiny, on board of u vessel in which they were
both mariners ; but that as a question bad bee* tatiald
by their Counsel. as to whether the verdict Caine ex
actly under the Statute upon which they were triea?hc
had reserved the point for the consideration 'of the
Judges. Those Learned Persons he had ..considted,
and their cl•cis:on was against them; in consequence
of which it became Lis painful duty to pass on theth
the final judgment of the Court.
Mr. Susumu then called up the prisoners in 'the
usual manner, to know whether they 'had anything to
advance why sentence Of death should not be 'passed
on them according to law ?—and no reply b- lug made,
Lord &swam then passed sentence of Death on the 'dime*
in the-ssual language.
The Court then adjourned to Tuesday, the 51st instant.
PREROGATIVE COURT, MAY 13.

as the last will and testament 'of Josias Twistehon,
lisq. of Arlington Hall, YO:k.hire, hiking date the
4th of March, 1818, the validity of which was im-
peached by the heir at law, his daughter, the wife of tile'
defendant, on the ground Olinsainty in the .deceased.'
From the proceedings, which were' exceedingly volu-
minous, it; appeared, that :the testator died at a verj,
advancedage, possessed of property. to the amount of,
4,0001. a-year- Atone period he entertained an idea

was of Common that the te'stator's sanity of. mind had
