" Ist. For disobedience of orders, in having, between the
22d of October and 17th of November, 1820, rashly and with-
out due consideration undertaken an expedition into the interior
of Arabia, in direct tontradiction to the general tenour of the
powers vested in him as Political Agent, and particularly to the
instructions communicated to him in the letter of the Chief Se-
cretary of Government, dated the Bth June, 1821._ _
_ .

" 2d. For neglect of duty in having marched from Belad
Beni Bu Hassan to attack Belad Beui Breali on the 9th No-
vember;lB2o, without taking the necessary military precautions,
although he well knew that the enemy were in force In his front,
and in having on the march permitted in the most negligent and
unofficetiike manner, the detachment under his command to be'
attacked unformed and unprepared, which led to its being en-1
tirely defeated, with the loss of its guns, stores, and baggage.
" sd. For neglect of duty in having during the said affair on
use 9th of November, 1820, been deficient in personal exertion,
and in not having done his utmost to repulse and defeat the
enemy on that occasion.
" 4th. For disgraceful conduct, unbecoming the character of
an Officer, In having addressed an Official Report to the Chief
Secretary of Government, dated the 18th of November, 1820,
and to the Adjutant. General of the Army under the same date,
in which he unjustly and without foundation ascribed his defeat,
in the said affair of the 9th of November, 1820, to the
misbe-
haviour before the enemy on that day of the Officers and men.
who composed the detachment under his command."
Upon which Charges the Court came to the follow-
ing decision:
" Finding and Sentence.—The Court having maturely weighed
and considered all that has been adduced in support of the pro.
sectition, as well as what has been brought forward on the defence,
came to the following opinion on the respective charges prefer-
red against the prisoner, Captain T. P. THOMPSON, of his blajes-
ty's 17th Light Dragoons—
" That the prisoner is not guilty of the first Charge, except in
as far a. 4 the Court are of opinion that the expedition into the
Interior of Arabia was undertaken rashly, on account of the
smallness of the detachment ; and they do therefore acquit him
of every other part of the said Charge.
" That the prisoner is not guilty of the second Charge, and
the Court do therefore honourably acquit him of the same,
" That the prisoner is riot guilty of the third Charge, and the
Court do therefore honourably acquit him of the same.
" With regard to the fourth Charge, that the prisoner is guilty
of having addressed an Official Report to the Chief Secretary to
Government, dated the 18th November, 1820, and to the Ad-
jutant-General of the Army, under the same date, in which be
unjustly and without foundation ascribed his defeat in the said
affair of the 9th of November, 1820, to the misbehaviour before
the enemy on that day of the Officers and men who composed
the detachment under his command. But the Court are at the
same time of opinion, that this Report proceeded from erroneous
conclusions, and they elo therefore acquit him of disgraceful
conduct unbecoming an Officer.
_ _

" The Court having found the Prisoner guilty as above sped-
fied, do therefore adjudge him, the said Captain T. P. THossr-
SON, to be publicly reprimanded, in such manner as lily Excel-
lency the Commander-in-Chief may think proper."
The CONSIANDZIWN-Cillgr directs that the foregoing Order be
entered in the General Order Book, and read at the head of
every Regiment in his Majesty's service in India.

Monday night the house of Capt. SANDERS, Kent-
road,was burglariously entered, and robbed of money,
plate, and linen to the amount of about £l5O. The
Thieves gained admission at the back first floor win-
dow, by means of a ladder, and are supposed to have
been a considerable time on the premises, as they
made a very nice selection of the property.

Monday evening a young man, named Gibbs, a
private in the Ist Dragoon Guards, who was nn hie
way from Exeter, to visit his friends a short distance.
from Tiverton, was found drowned in the mill-lent
near that town. It appears he had stopped at Tiver-
ton, and it is supposed he walked into the river in a
state of intoxication ; his lifeless body was discovered
the next moaning by the miller, who lives just below,
and on the water being drawn off, his bundle and
helmet were found in the mud.

Extract of a letter from New South Wales, dated
in May, 1821 :—" We have had four Russian and
two French ships here, on a voyage of discovery.--
Their object appears to have been to explore the
western part of this country to etect settlements, but
it is hoped they will not succeed, as at some future
time they may become troublesome. The General
Gates, Captain Riggs, which had been detained by
the Government, having infracted the port regtila-
dons, sailed about six months ago for the New Zea-
land fishery, and it appears that ten convicts effected
their escape in her; and Captain Riggs, it is said,
after leaving the eon, sent a letter to the Governor,
informing him of his having put them on board a
King's, ship,. on the eve of sailing to the Missionariesi
Settlement on that island. He was ordered-to search,
in which he succeeded, and brought her to Sidney,
and there will be no doubt of her condemnation. I
have this moment learned, that the General Gates is
liberated on the Captain's own bond."

VULGAR ERRORS...--It is not to be rvretted, says
PASCAL, that the minds .of men are fixed by :wiring
error—for example,
.that which induces them to
ascribe the change of weather, the progress weeese;
acc. to the moon, for though it be false drat the amok
has anything to do with these matters, yet it cures
the curiosity of mankind, and prevents their inziont
curiosity to learn what they candlit kruiw,• which it
one of the maladies of the human mind.
