A General Court Martial assembled at Hythe, on

On the evening of the 19th January died, in the
breach of Ciudad Rodrigo, Lieutenant ALEXANDER
BELL, of his Majesty's 45th Regiment, in the 20th
year of his age : the glorious circumstances attending
his fate, together with the recollection that he has
fallen in the service of his country, leaving behind
him an unsullied reputation as a Gentleman and a
Soldier, are great alleviations to grief, and soften
tven the keen feelings of parental affliction in lament.
ing his irreparable loss.

J. Grthr, alias Hines, P. Corbett, J. Duncan, and
J. Brown, were indicted for that, they being subjects
of his Britannic Majssty, did take up arms against
their King and Country, on board a French privateer.
The circumstances attending the case are as fol-
lows:—It appeared by the testimony of Captain
Parker and two Lieutenants of the Amazon frigate,
that the French privateer la Cupidon was taken on
the 24th of March, 1811, seven leagues- from St.
Anders, and the prisoners, amongst others, were
serving on hoard the said privateer. They repre-
sented themselves to be Americans; but some sus-
picions arose, and they were taken into custody, as
traitors. They then acknowledged themselves to be
Englishmen, and volunteered to serve their country,
but their offer was rejected. The prisoners gave in
a long written defence, wherein they stated them-
selves to have suffered much in French prison, and
':•eir only motive in getting on board the privateer,
was to seek an opportunity of returning to their na-
tive country. They had no intention of aiding and
assisting the enemy ; but, on the contrary, they had
engagea with other Englishmen and Americans to
overpower the crew of the privateer on the first occa-
sion, and to lodge her in a British port. To substan-
tiate this defence, Kennedy, an American, and
another witness, were called. These witnesses were
serving on board the privateer when she was taken.
Their testimony corroborated the defence, that the
prisoners had formed a plan to get possession of the
privateer, by overpowering the crew; but, on being
cross-examined, it turned cut that two of them (Grif-
fidis and Corbett), had also served in the Napoleon
privateer.
The Judge then observed, that the distresses of the
prisoners was no excuse for serving the enemy.—
Guilty—Death.
Jemmott was indicted for stealing on board the
ship Maria, dollars to the amount of Seventy
Thousand Pounds, the property of various mer-
chants. To go through the evidence at length is this
case, would occupy the greater part of our impres-
sion. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, in
conjunction with others, had bargained for a vessel
called the Maria, and they succeeded in the purchase
for £7OO, rurporting to have acted in the capacity of
agents for Lazarus and Cohen, two Jews. After
the purchase of .the vessel, it was announced by ad-
vertisement at Lloyd's, that she was bound for Per-
nambucco, at the Brazils. A person named De
Sylva was appointed Captain ; and, as might have
been expected, she was laden with the dollars in ques-
tion, and other goods, to a very considerable amount.
Instead of proceeding on her voyage to the Brazils,'
she was steered to a port in the West Indies, where
the Maria was transformed into the Columbus, of
New York, by being painted from black to yellow.
The prisoner was a kind of supercargo on the voyage;
and at Cuba the dollar-chests were broken open, and
carried off in a schooner, under the direction of the
prisoner and others. The ship was afterwards taken
into another port and sold.
In defence, the prisoner stated himself to have
been merely a servant in the employ of the owners,
and did not know that the cargo was misapplied when
delivered on board the schooner. It, however, turn-
ed out from various circumstances, that the prisoner
was privy to the whole fraud.—Pearkes, an officer at
Bow-street, produced some letters found on the pri-
soner to his wife, and which proved that he was even
in Want of a dollar when he sailed on board the Ma-
y**, but that on his return, it was proved that he was
worth £6OOO, and he was getting heavy bills discoun-
ted, and depositing large sums in banker's hands.—
The prisoner was tound—Guilty—Death,
Sir WiLetam Sco'rr immediately passed sentence
of death, in the most awful and impressive manner ;
observing, that it was no more than charity to in.
form the prisoner, that he had little reason to expect mercy
on this side the grave.
The other tour prisoners received sentence of death
also, but the Judge gave them some hopes of-mercy.
Jemmott is z tall man, of most gentlemanly ap-
pearance; he did not seem mach affected at his fate.
The Grand Jury, in the course of the day, found
a true bill of indictment against the Marquis of Sligo,
for a misdemeanor.

Thursday a man was brought to Bow-street Office
on a-charge of felony, under peculiar circumstances.
He was charged with stealing two sacks from Co-
vent Garden Market, and the cause of his detection
was offering the sacks for sale to the man he had
stolen them from. He was committed for trial.
The coachman of the Countess of Bucerecizast.
mune was on Wednesday held to bail, at Marlbo-
rough-street-Onice, for a misdemeanor on Tuesday at'
Pimlico. It appeared by the statement of Lord
'HAWKE, corroborated by the Hon. Captain MURRAY,
'that, after passing through Pimlico turnpike, the de-
fendant, who was on the wrong side, drove against
his Lordship's curricle with great violence, and did
considerable damage to it, and also severely injured
one of the horses.
