COURT MARTIAL.

The following is a Copy of the Sentence of the
Court Mmtial held at Whitehall on the 21st and 22d
of June, 1813, f6r the trial of Colonel Sir J. EASIER,
of the Royal East Landon Militia, on charges pre-
ferred against him by Captain T. B. V. SYMES, of
•
the said regiment :

" '1 he Court having duly weighed and considered the evidence
adduced on the prosecution, as well as what has !wet! offered In
defence, are of opinion, that Colonel Sir Joust- 44 salt is Not
Guilty a behaving in a scandalous, infamous manlier, such as is
unbecoming the character of en Officer and a Gentleman, in any
tit the at titles of the charge, as preferred against him by Captain
L'. V. Ny si ES, and do therefore acquit him thereof.
" With respect to the first article; the Court are of opinion,
that Colonel Sir Jolts: EAMER was justified in issuing the Order
of the 30th of July, 1812.

" With respect to the second article, the Court are of opinion
that Colonel Sir JetiN EAMEK did duly forward the letter allu•
ded to, in the regular official manner.
" With respect to the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth articles,
the Court are of opinion, that although the facts as detailed have
been proved, yet that the conduct of Col. Sir J. EAMER does not
appear liable to the imputations therein ascribed to it, though
at the sante time, with reference to the sixth article, the. Court
cannot but express their regre: that Colonel Sir Jour EAMER
should have been led to use any unguarded expressions.
" With respect to the seventh article, the Court are of opinion,
that no proof has been adduced of Colonel Sir JOHN EAMER'S
having ordered the attendance of Captain Svst S, with the vetv
of rendering Lint (Captain SYMES) amenable to Military 1.2 w,
from the answers he should then give, nor of his (Colonel Sir J.
EAM en's) then and there using exulting exclamations', expressive
that he bad so committed hint.

" The Court, however, cannot conclude their finding, with-
out remarking, that the conduct of Captain Sy ME s, as tar as it
has been brought before the Court, does not seem to have been
dictated by motives for the good of the service. "
I am to acquaint you, that his Royal Highness was pleased,
in the name and on the behalf ot his Majesty, to approve and
confirm the finding and Sentence of the Court.
I ant farther to acquaint you, Mat under all the circumstances
of the case, as they appear upon the tate of the proceedings,
and which have apparently led to the observation ot the Court,
That the conduct of the Prosecutor does r seem to have
been dictated by motives for the good of the Service.' Ihe
Prince Regent was pleased to command, th:u it should be ints.
mated to Captain Symcs, that, as he appears in the Charges he
ventured to prefer against his Colonel, to have been actuated by
a spirit of Insubordination, at variance with every principle of
di.cipline and duty front a Subordinate Officer, his Royal High-
nesi Las no farther Occasion for his services in the Royal Last
London Regiment of Militia.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF RANK
IN TIM. ARMY OE LORD WELLINGTON, DATED THE
SD INbTANT.

" kVe never yet saw such desperate fighting, or
experienced resistance so obstinate as en tnese days/
(the 28th ..nd 30th). The manoeuvres of the enemy'
were admirable, and all his positions chosen With in-
finite skill, either for attack or defence, victory or
defeat. !-Ie could assail us from most of his crowned
points with great advantage, or he could reinforce
and protect his troops on these stations with celerity
and effect. If successful, they were well calculated
to ensure the finits of victory, and, if beaten, to save
kiln from the disasters of retreat. Yet from all these
positions he was completely forced, and dreadfully
cut up in is retreat, which it required all his efforts
to cover, in any way, so as to prevent its being con-
verted into a disorderly flight, notwithstanding the
mountainous nature of the ground, which in many
places defied combined and extensive movements.—
Lord WELLINGTON was struck 1?y a spent musket
bullet, which lodged in his sash, but, thank HEAVEN,
did no harm to our beloved Commander. His Lord-
ship says he never met with so daring and powerful
an -Jimmy ; but it seemed only to rouse the British
lions more to vanquish him. Indeed, nothing can
describe the devotedness and ardour of our forces.—
The Portuguese acted nobly. The Marquis of Won-
cEsTER was struck by a ball, and fell from his horse;
but this brave young Nobleman was only stunned,
and was soon ready again to partake in the glory of
his comrades. The defiles and passes which abound
in this district, afforded much facility and security to
the flying foe. We have, nevertheless, taken great
abundance of stores, baggage, &c. Numerous pri-
soners are hourly bringing in, and I do not think
their total,loss can be less than 20,000 men."

The following Spanish details of the late opera-
tions have been received by a respectable mercantile
house in the City :

" Bilboa, August 2.
‘, What we know that can be depended upon, re-
specting the siege of San Sebastian, is, that from the
23d to the 25th a most tremendous fire was kept
up on both sides. On the '2sth three breaches were
practicable, the one for thirty-two men abreast, and
the other two admitted from sixteen to eighteen men
each. In the assault which the English made by one
of the breaches, it is reported they lost one thousand
men ; but it is known from one who was engaged,
that the number did not exceed 600 men in killed
and wounded, who were mostly picked up by the
French. On the 27th, in the morning, the French
made a sortie, and surprised 200 Portuguese work.
men, who were carried into the town. The place
has suffered much from the cannonade, particularly

• %Mir .

the cddibwn, and thestreets of Atecha and San Juan
are ;Wetted te ashes. The inhabitants were not suf-
fered' lo qua the town, which forced man 'to thrOW
themselves into the water, the greater part Of whom
were drowned. On the 27th, part of the besiegers
retired, leaving only 4000 men, on account of- tvhat
took place in Navarre; and from this moment the
fire ceased on both sides,,butsvithout doubt will com-
mence immediately, unless .the garrison capitulates.
Thettoops proceeded towards Navarre, as the French
attacked .lay Aya, Vera, and Roncesvalles. In Vera
the nine repulsed with the loss of 1500 men. The
diVistion..4 Longa having conducted itself. uncom-
monly rte)l,,Soult, dispatched by. Bonaparte as Regent
of Spain, united with Clausel, broke through the .
points of Haya and Roncesvalles, on the 26th, with
80,000 men, and notwithstanding the division of Mu-
rillo fought with the greatest braverN and suffered
much, it was forced to give way. to superior num-
bers ; and the French commanded by Soult, with the
quickness of lightning, appeared on the 26th befwe
Villaltm, a town distant only three quarts s of a
league from Pamplona. Conde de Abisbal (O'Don-
nell) stopped them the whole of that day. On the
`27th they endeavoured to communicate with the
ton of Pamplona, and O'Donnell being hard
pressed, (which ha* observed by General Espana,
who was entrusted with -the siege of Pamplona), he
instantly marched to his soppert, containing at that
same time the garrison, who, profiting at this mo-
ment, made a sortie, in order to take possession of a
I strong red house, distant half a league :from Pam-
plona ; but General Espana foreseeing the event,
left some Spanish regiments in observation, who
drove them back at the point of the bayonet. Lord
Wellington informed of what took place, made a ra
pid movement, although not with all his forces, to
succour-O'Donnell, and on the 28th and '29th, corn
pletely defeated the enemy with the loss of from 12
to 14,000 men, compelling him to abandon the pro-
ject of succouring the town, where Soult intended to
introduce a lame convoy, which has been captured.
It no longer remains doubtful that the object of Souk
was to relieve the town, which has been frustrated,
and his army defeated, after a most tremendous bat-
tle, and O'Donnell succoured in time to maintain his
important station."

The following is an extract of a private letter from
Berlin, dated the 24th ultimo:--64 There is no doubt
entertained here hut that hostilities • will again com-'
mance on the 16th of August. The whole of the
army of Bonaparte is calculated at 400,000 Men, of,
whom 200,000 are in • Saxony and Silesia, 100,000
near Wurzharg, and. 100.000 in Italy, .under the
command of the Viceroy. The Austrians going over
to the Pru :siaris and Russians, here seems. certain.
To-morrow the Crown Prinie Of Sweden is expected,
who has under his command an army of 120,000,
and it is expected will take his head-quarters here.
Bonaparte will command the army in person. In
Leipsic ail goods remain yet tinder sequestration."•
The following is the exact amount of the military
force at present in the field under the CROWN PRINCE
or SwEDEN, as Commander in Chief :
Prussians, including CttO Cavalry and Buloves Corp 3

And of these 20,000 are Cavalry.
On the Ist August the head-quarters were at Dem-
min, and the positions were such as to cover Berlin.
A letter from an Officer in the fleet off Flushing
informs us, that the French have in that harbour
eighteen sail of the line, five frigates, one corvette,
and thirty brigs, seemingly fit for sea. Our light
vessels keep crtfizing up and down the river night
and day, and are frequently honoured with a shot
from the batteries, but seldom with any effect. The
fishermen inform them, that the inhabitants are 'in a
most Wretched state, and that, in spite of the severity
of their masters, their indignation not unfrequently
breaks out in acts of outrage, sometimes accomp4-
n ied with bloodshed.

GUlLDHALL—Yesterday P.F/yett was charged with
assaulting Cath. cyan, in the One Tun public-house,
on Monday evening, and cutting her arm, neck, and
face,*in a most shocking manner. It appeared that
the prisoner went into the house, and found the coin
plainant drinking from a quart pot, when be seized'
the pot, drank the beer, and, on her remonstrating
with him, knocked her down,• and otherwise mal-
treated her.—He was committed for trial.
UNION HALL.—A question possessing considerable
interest, as it respects builders, came on to be decided
before Mr. BURNIE) at this Office, yesterday. Mr.
Eyles, a respectable builder t had been employed to
build some houses for a Gentlethajnamed Bain, who
resides at Croydon. He commenced the work, and
one of the houses, which was of the fourth rate, had
been carried up a considerable way against the eat of
a third rate house, belonging to another person, ‘s Len
Mr. Craige, the District Surveyor uhder the Building
Act, discovered that the party-wall between the to o•
houses was no more than nine inches in thickness—a
substance not equal to what the Building Act requires
it should be between houses of that rate. Of this cir;
cumstance that Gentleman gave notice to Mr. Bain ;
but no notice was taken of his representation; the
wall was not made thicker, and the work went on.—
Mr. Craige then applied to Mr. Eyles and to his men,
informing•the former, that if he proceeded with the
work, he would do it at his own peril ; that the build-
ing was an illegal one, and Mr. Bain would be obliged
to pull it down again ; and if he shculd, • after this,
dispute paying Mr. Eyles, he would have no remedy,
the building being an illegal one, the law would not
enforce payment for erecting it; and further, that
every man who, after having had this notice, should
continue to work upon it, would be liable to fine or
imprisonment. Upon this representation Mr. Eyes
took his men off the work, and would not lit them
proceed in it. Mr. Bain, upon this, summoned him
for having quitted his work, leaving it in an unfi-
nished state. Mr. Craige proved the material facts ;
when the Magistrate decided, that the defendant was
not obliged to go on erecting a building which etas
contrary to the regulations laid down by law, and
therefore illegal in itself. Such being his opinion, he ,
discharged the complaint.

- Sarah Steer. e; a young woman, daughter of the
Postmaster of Steyning, was indicted I r ste.iiing a
£lO Bank of England note, and a AS Brightau note,
out of a letter, put into the Post-office, at Steyning,
on the 7th of Ilay last.
J. Cheeseman, a shrwlkeeper at Steyning. ,said, that.
on the 7th of May he put up £lOO in hits in& n6tes, •
for the purpose of remitting it to a Mr. Herbert, a
cheesemonger in the Boroagh. Ater double wafer-
ing the letter,-lat gave it to his brother, who said he..
put it into the Punt office. By r-t urn of post he re-
ceived intimitinii that L'Bs only came to the hands of '
,his cotrespondeat.. This occasioned an enquiry, and .
'a Alb and £5 note were pr duced to li;in by Mr.
Parkins, of the Post-office, which, upon ieferriwg to
his book, were the santz that he inclined. .
'l'. Barrett, a man who carries the bag from Steyn- '
log to Shoreham, statal, that the prisoner sorted and
marked the letters on the 7th of May, and she then
gave him a £5 Brighton Bank-note, to br.ng change
tor her, :ma desired him not to tell her father, as she •
did not choose him to know how she gut it. He got
it changed by the • Post-mistress at Shoreham. In
tracing the note,. however, its identity was lost, as the
Post-mistress at Shoreham; could not say the note pre-
duced was the same she received from Barrett.
The Counsel for the prosecution then endeavoured
to trace, the £lO note home to her po.wession, for
which purpose they called the father and mother of
the prisoner, upon whose testimony alone the.life o
the prisoner depended ; but all they stated was, that
they fotind the £lO note in tile window of the bed-
room itrwhich the prisoner steptf but that other per.
sons had siCess to that room as well as the prisoner.
Lord ELLEMBOROUGH told-the Jury, this seas evi-
dence for them to consider of; but he thought it too
slight to warrant 'a conviction, and advised them to:
acquit. the prisoner. yerilicr7—Not*Gaill.
It latish, was indictecifor secreting a letter,
put. into the Office at Mayfield, Sussex, tor the pur-
pose of ben• forwarded by the post.
Mr. SteiWta, a shopktdper, at Mayfield, said he put-
four half hank:notes into a letter, for the puipuse of
sending tbetw,w London. He carried the letter
himself to the Royal Oak, which was the receiving
house, and laidit down upon the table, together with
a penny. The prisoner, who was servanarmaid, was-,
in the kitchen, together will) ner mistress and two
children. The letter did not reach its destination,
sad in Gino was missed. that day. ...
By the evidence of the lad who carried the letters
)to Uckfield, and of the mistreat of the Royal Oak, it
appeared,:that they had but three•lettersto send, and*.
therefore, when they vyent to make up 'the bag;lhe
one Was Missed immediately. The Prisoner gat asked
whether she had seen the letter, or had removed it.
from the dresser ? she said, she bads pot} it-and the
penny into the drawer. The penny was found, but
the letter was not. The loss of the letter caused some
inquiry, ancra few4laysafterwards the prisoner told.
the mien that be 'Mold find some money in his, bax.
Ffe• haid, how could it get there, for it was locked,
and he had the key?,, She replied, that she hall put it
there: under. the lid. He did not, however, find it.
Again, in a day or two afterwards, she desired him
to get some one tolet her down the well in the yard,
for that there was money at the bottom. Ai lAA,
after some delay, ;t was thought proper to send a pet.
son down the well, and a man ilf the name of Broker
went down in the bucket, and at the bottom he found
the letter torn, and the halves of tlie notes whin) it
had encles .d. These being produced to Mr. ilterees;
he identified the letter and the half notes. ' •
Upon this evidence the prisoner was fOUTladtliitt:
. Edward Head and John Rose were found guilty of
horse-stealing. ,
Mr. Bourne, a farmer at Brightling, in this county,
proved that his hot se was put in his stable on the
night of the 11th of May, and the next day was
missing. Two days afterwards,,as he was riding on
the Horsham road, he saw the prisoner Head riding
his horse, in company with Rose and a man of the
name of Seale. Being alone, he did not think it pro.
dent•to say Ay thirtig to them, but he rode forward
to a public house on the road, and the landlord join.
ed him in pursuit. As soon as the prisoners save.
themselves followed. they turned out of the high road
and made across a* field until they were stopped by a
hedge : here Head and Rose abandoned their luirsesk
and scrambling through the hedge Attempted to hide
themselves in the ditch, but they were discovered
and apprehended.
Seale said he was riding his own horse, and had
joined them at the fair.
Head, in his defence, said he had given two ponies
and ie.s for the horse at the fair.

The Jury found Head and Rose Guilty, and Seale
Not Guilty.
Rose was also convicted on another indictment, for
.stealing a horse, the property of John Jarvis, a far-
ther' in the same neighbourhood. The horse was
tako Off the common ; and the defence the prison4x
set up was—that he had only borrowed the horse
without leave of the owner.

Jame: Newcombe and Michael M,Gellich were indic-
ted for a robbery on the highway, and forcibly taking
from Edward Chapman a watch, frock, waistcoat,
hat, and trowsers.—The prosecutor stated, that on
the 16th of June lie was going over the South Downs,
near Lewes, when he met the two prisoners, who
were soldiers, but they had no plates in their caps ;
they stopped him, and, drawing their bayonets, threa-
tened to run him through if he did not stop. They
then made him strip off his clothes, and took them
from' him, one of them giving his trowsers in ex-
change. The next morning he went to the barracks
and gave up the clothes they had left with him. It
was discovered that the iwo pt 'sone: s had deserted,
and a Serjcant was sent in pursuit of them. They
were immediately apprehended. —The Jury found
their), Guilty.

So little effect had the near approach of death on
the late if yfey Whke, that, on the attending Clergy.
man asking him, a Sew hours previous to his esecu.
don, if he could administer any consolation to him f
His reply was---« Only by getting some other man to be
hanged for me !"
Yesterday evening, about half past nine o'clock, as
Mr. Nasty, engraver, of the Strand, was passing
through Tottenham court-road to Kentish-town, he
was attacked close to the wall of the Chapel by a
gang of villains, fourteen or fifteen in number, and
robbed of a watch, gold chain, and seals.

Saturday se'nnight, about eleven o'clock, a man
and his wife, on their return to Glasgow from Pais.
ley, were attacked, near Clyde Buildings, by eight
men, one of whom was a soldier in a grenadier uni-
form, and robbed of seventeen pence halfpenny and
a silver watch.

Friday, the 30th ult.-a violent assault was commit-
ted on the person of a woman, on board a vessel in
Irvine harbour. The parties accused, are the Master
and Mate of said vessel, the latter of whom has made
his escape, and the former, having also absconded,
was detected. by Mr. EATON, Sheriff-sebstitute, on I
board a vessel in the Bay of Ayr, and committed to

The body c f Mr. Robert Baxter, miesing for seve-

back of the Sudden-stakenet, a little to the eastward
of the village of Monificth, near Dundee. After con-
veying it home the same evening, it was carefully
inspected by a surgeon.; and all circumstances con-

A Goon SAiIA P ITAIC-,—The week before last,
young man travelling in legig,from Perth to St. An-
drew's, admitted lute. it, on the road, another person I
who happened to be going the satire way, on lame- I
back, letting him tie Ma' horse to one of the shafts.—
At the village *f Abernethy, the led horse becoming
festive, kicked so violently, that he struck the young
man's left leg, breaking both bones, a few inches be-
low the knee. The clergy man of the parish, on
hearing of the accident, had the stranger ininsediately
conveyed to his house, where he yet remains, receiv-
ing,
Irom the whole family, the most unremitting
kindness and attention. Fortunately,
,the clergy-
mares hi-Other, who has just finished his medical edu-
cations, was on the spot, and immediately set the
bones, and dressed the wound—in consequence Of
which, the young man is now in the fairest way to a
speedy recovery.
- Antoine Tardit, the French prisoner who was exe
cured at Portchestcr on Monday the 9th instant, had
been fornrily captain of a banditti in France, who
used to commit depredations to a vast extent in the
neighbourhood which they infested. The culprit had
written a detail of his life, and the numerous adven-
tures lie had gone through in that sitaation, which de-
tail he afterwards lost in the prison, with his sham
commission as capta;n of the said banditti, and other
papers, and he suspected, from the hints thrown out
by Jean Legney (whom he murdered), that he had
found the papers in question. To confirm his suspi.
cions a small dramatic piece was afterwards got up,
by another of his fellow-prisoner s, and a character,
which Tardit thnught represented himself, was intro-
duced and performed by a third fellow-prisoner.—
Stung with guilt, a:al by it prompted to acts of re-
venge against these who had, in his opinion, thus tra-
duced, exposed, and burlesqued him, the wretch en-
tertained• the most deadly hatred for the supposed
finder of his papers, the w, iter of the drama, and the
paver who performed the character before mentioned,
andhe determined in his own mind to wreak his nra-
lice on them all three, by min del ing them, and there-
by prevent their carrying the hateful story to their
native country, which he partly accomplished in the
horrid crime for which lie has now suffered.

BARBAROUS ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—In our Paper 1
of Mtaiday, we mentioned, that a traveller was found
on the Kent-road, on Saturday evening, with his
throat cut, and that he had been conveyed almost
lifeless to the hospital, the following account, we are
happy to say, is from the lips of the nide: trinate suf-
ferer himself, who has met with great care and atten.
two in Guy's Hospital ; and, though he was dread-
fully wounded, is now likely to recover :—He stated,
:that his name was George Murdoch, that he was a
native if. Scotland, and resided in the Borough of
Southwark. On Saturday last he. was at Deptford,
and did riOi proceed on his way home till between
1 eight and nine o'clock ; it was pretty dark, and few
ptoplc were on the road. When lie approached the
place where the canal intersects the way, he heard I
something make a rustling on his left hand, and be-
tore he could turn about to see what occasioned it, a
inaasprnng suddenly out from the Toad side, placed
:..iinself before him, and demanded his money. I-le
told the rubber that be had no money, and attempted
to proceed on his journey, but the villain, with hor-
rible
menaces, declared that he was determined to
have money, and they were not to part so. Alarmed
by these threats, Murdoch put his hand into his
pocket, and proceeded to search for his money very
reluctantly, for eight shillings were all his riches, and
he was. loth to part with them. However, he per-
ceived that it would be wisest to yield up his money,
and accordingly presented all his little purse to the
villain, who received it with his left hand, and at the
same instant cut his victim's throat in a most dread-
fill manner with a knife, which he held unclasped and
concealed in his right band. After having accom-
plished this unexampled feat of atrocity, the ruffian
rushed to the road side and was out of sight in a mo-
ment. Murdoch felt an intolerable pain from his
wound, which extended quite across his throat, and
was very deep, and he walked giddy and staggering,
and in a half senseless state, towards the Hafway-
house between Deptford and London when he ar-
rived there, the blood was streaming profusely down
his bosom, and he was lust able to give a brief ac
count of his horrible adventure. Fortunately a hu-
mane Gentleman happened to be at the place, who
applied bandage's to his throat to stem the gushing of
the LlJod, and hired a post-chaise, in which he placed
him, supported by iwo persons, and carried him to
Guy's Hospital, where the surgeons sewed up the
wound and be is now somewhat better, though in 'a
very dangerous state. The ruffian was dressed in a
long dat k brownish coat and was about five feet nine
inches high.
