approve of the fentenre, and alto from proof on the
proceedings. finds him unfit to be retained in the

On Thurfday lafl, a Court Martial was held on
board his Maj:fly's flea la ROEBUCK. in Yatnrouth
Roads, for the purrofe of trying Lieutenant Hassel.
W.gra, Commander of his Mayfly's late guti•brig
Ferreter, together with his officers and crew, for the
capture of the laid brig by the c emy's gun vends on
the river Emms, on the morning of the 3 a. ft of March.
It appeared, by the eviience adduced on the trial,
that the Ferreter was attacked at day bleak on the
3111 of March, by feven Dutch gun vl.fiels, rich cat.
Tying tliree'24 pounders and go men: on difcovering
the enemy, Lieutenant ZVsra ordered his cable to be
cut. and made fail on the brig, and, notwitlinanding
the van fuperiori:y of force he had to contend with,
he, with his little crew of onl) 34. men, defended the
valet in the moll gallant manner, art! bya fpirited fire
from the Ferreter, kept his 'afTailants at bay tot near
4.0 minutes. The difficulties he had to encounter,
however, were fuch as neither (kill nor courage coal
formount ; the wind was againll his getting out of
the. River; his fails and rigging cut to pieces, and at
this moment the Fel reter grounded. In this condi-
lion, being pettedly unmanageable, and not being
able to biting a gun to bear, the enemy boarded hiss
on the bows and Item in great numbers. Farther
refinance w-uld have been rafh and unavailing. and
in all probability would have occaliontd the facrifice
of the few men he had •, itives of humanity, there.
fore, fuls,gellcd to Mr. Wile the propriety of. Order.
ing his people below. Great praife is due to Lieu-
tenant Watt, for the cnolnefs anJ prefince of mind
difplayed by him on this trying occafion, and to
which indeed may be attributed the prefervation of
the lives of his people.
Lieutenant Willi made a very enimaiei defence',
in which he expatiated with conliderable ability 01,
the zeal, promptitude, and alacrity difplayed by his
handful of men on this occafion. and concluded with
a very able and energetic appeal to the feelings af
the Court and.his auditors.

The Court having beard the evidence, and having
maturely weighed and corrfidered the fame, were of
opinion that the Ferreter was captured by the enc.
my', gun vegeta in the river Etnms, on the 311/ of
Match, and were unanimoufly of opinion that Lien
tenant Wits ufed every exertfba to defend the fad
brig, and that farther refinance would have, been
fruitlefs the Court, therefore, unanimouily adjudged
Lieutenant Willt, his Officers, and crew, to be ma
honourably acquitted ; and they were thereby 09
kosourably acquit:gel areerdsagly.
The Proficient returned Lieutenant Wart his flood,
with a handlione and apprortitte compliment.
