COURT-MARTIAL ON MR. THOMAS GOBLE,
PURSER OF HIS AUJESTr S SHIP THE AYDROWCHE.
THIRD DAY.
The Court did not assemblitill two o'clock yester-
day: as soon as it was made an open Court, the pri-
soner was introduced in the usual manner, and called
upon for his defence. Mr. Minchin, as before, assisted
Mr. Goble. Mr. Goble then addressed the Court at
very great length. After a few general remarks, he said
he hoped be would be excused if he spoke something of
himself. I first, said he, Sir, entered the service in 1804,
under Admiral Sir George • Montague, when he was
Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth. He sent me in
the Deccan frigate, Captain Rutherford, to the Medi-
terranean. Captain Rutherford being appointed to the
Swiftsure, required me to follow him. Shortly after
Lord Nelson took' the command of the squadron off
Cadiz, and the day al-ter his Lordship arrived, I had
the honour to he ordered into the Victory, and to do the
duty as Secretary to the fleet under Sir Thomas Hardy,
and was in the battle of Trafalgar with his Lordship,
and amongst those present at the last moments of that
Immortal hero! After the battle, Sir Thomas Hardy
solicited my accompanying him to England, when 'I un-
dertook, as clerk, the duty of the ship, and on her being
paid off, at the request of Sir Thomas, I staid with him
fin. four months, officiating as his private secretary.—
'I was then soon appointed purser of the Espoir, Captain
Henry Hope. Fourteen months after - that 1 was ap-
pointed, by the request of Captain Maling. to the
Mani; and on Captain Maling receiving his appoint-
ment to the Undaunted, I was also, at the same time,
appointed to that ship, and continued in her nearly two
years and a half, till, from the contagion of the yellow
fever, with which I was attacked, and other illness fol-
lowing it, I was obliged to quit the Undaunted, and to
return on shore, when I was confined to my room and
chiefly to my bed for fourteen weeks. During the time
I was purser of the Undaunted, I took the charge, at
the request of Captain Maling, of a Spanish freight of
three millions of dollars, from Porto Rico to Cadiz;
and the Spanish Authorities on that occasion, for my
integrity and accuracy in discharging that treasurrinto
their treasury at Cadiz, were pleased to remunerate me
for my own individual exclusive benefit (besides the
Freightage which the service received) by a per tentage
of nearly 3,0001. sterling. During the whole of, the
series to which I have thus alluded, I enjoyed not only
a distinguished share in the confidence of the highest
ornament to the Navy of which England has to boast,
but of officers now living, who are amongst the fore.
Most of her sons,emulous in bravery and discipline to fol-
low his great example, and like him eager to disappoint
not the expectation of their country (and it is with affec-
tion and respect that I am addressing those who yield
to norie, herein, and to whom the palm of honour
from a giateful country has been already tendered).
—Mr. Goble then alluded to the present charges against
him, and without blaming Captain Moorsoah he said, I
would fain hope,that so small weight attaches to the con-
sideration, that of the three years and ten months I have
been in the Andromache, of wbick only the odd months
it has been under Captain Moorsom, the prior period
under the late Commodore Nourse, C.B. whom in the
same ship he succeeded, was not clouded with the same
circumstances which my ten months' servitude under
Captain Moorsom has been, and that with all the Com-
manders beside the like has never been ; and that at
length charges only of the nature of the present should
have been brought against me. This Court should
know, that an unfortunate misunderstanding had arisen
between me and the late Commodore Nourse, respecting
the supply of necessaries for the house he resided in, in
Simon's Town ; against which, in my view of the ser-
vice, I thought it was my duty to protest, and which
demand of such necessaries by him was disapproved of
by the Lords Commissioners bf the Admiralty, as well
as by the Victualling Board ; but my misunder-
standing with Commodore Nourse was confined
only to 'that, and in all other respects the most cordial
and respectful intercourse was kept up between us.—
He then entered into a very minute examination of the
Charges,and the evidence by which they were supported,
sand contended that they were not proved against him.
In conclusion, he said, you will consider the merit
demerit of conduct by the gue anima with which it is
.stimulated, and the, frankness with which I have sought
to come before you, ia the most open and, wanly manner,
avowing eveey part I have taken in it ; you will, in the
pticlst.ef doubt, should it be possible that any can exist,
of tie mind and intentions on my part,. with which I
Akin been actuated in any respect, or to any one instance,
you will incline to favour. You will weigh the respect-
ability of my standing and services; my zcal in my
,duty, and the confidence with which I have been Oa
'toured, rente.mbering that, is a course of more than
twenty-one years' service, it is only in the telt months
of it, under Captain Moorsoin, I have even a breath Pi

complaint against me. All thesewill not fail of their
weight with this Honourable Court ; Ina in ykur hands,
Sir, and Gentlemen, as it is impossible that the in,erests
of a British OtEeer, and all that is dear and sacred to
him, can be safer,l entirelylenve my case, with reverence
and with confidence in the judgment which you will
pronounce upon it.

In the STAR of Monday we shall publish a highly
interesting document, to which we call the attention of
our Treaders. It is a correct statement of the number of
ships and vessels of war, belonging to the various and
successive Belligerent Power!, which were captured or
dt.stroycd by theßritisliNavy from the commencement of

hostilities in 1803, to 1814,describing the class of the •es-

eels and the Powers to which they belonged. It will be
seen by this statement, that the observation of =honest
slilor during the war had some truth in it, when he
called our enemies ship-builders to Old England.

The French Firers contain an article from Lisbod,
staling that the circles at the Queen's Conit are nu-
merously attended, and that her MAJISTY has received
perinission to leave the convent of Queluz, where she
was living in retirement, and to reside in the palace of
Rimaillon, where she is again at liberty to hold her
Court. The first and best return she can make to the
Krim for his clemency, will be to spurn from her Court
all those bad advisers who involved her in the conspi-
racies against him and his Government; we fear, how.
ever, she will be the source of new political intrigues,
bless very carefully watched. The same Lisbon
letter says—
.. The nephew of Count de Subserra (General Patnpelonas &-
Minister of War), our Ambassador at the Court of Spain, arrived
here a few days ago from Madtid, bearing dispatches, the object of
which was again to solicit his recall. It Is stated that his request
will be acceded to. This Minister, in point of fact, found himself
awkwardly situated in Spain, by the side of the Portuguese Prig.—
ceases, who had shewn so strong an indivation to favour the political ,
views of the Queen of Portugal and the Infant Dou Miguel."

This forenoon we received Frankfort Papers to the
21st inst. One of them contains an article from the
Oriental Spectator of Smyrna, purporting to be a letter
from Napoli di Romania, in which the successes, skill
and intrepidity of IBRAHIM PAULA are.taun:ed, and'

_ .
COLOCOTRONI accused of a want of military skill, in
suffering the Egyptian leader to take the defile of Le-
cndari without firing a gun. The Oriental spectator
is not a good auth:tity, but the affairs of Greece are,
certainly not very promising, though an article from
Sera, in the French Papers, states, that the mass of the
Greeks, fearing treason on the part of the Moreotes,
had poured in from the Islands to support the Govern.
ment. It appears, however, that die treason was that
of pretended apostate Turks!
At Napoli di Romania, a Turk has been discovered,
who has been there five mcnths, and who, attired in
European co+tume, passed for a distinguished Phillsel-
lenian, who had come to assist the Greeks. He raised
troops. Among those recruited, there were thirteen
other Turks. They were to spike all the cannon of
Napoli di Romania, at the approach of Isstatmsr
TACNA. His correspondence had been intercepted.
Alter being put to the torture, and having made a full
confession. the traitor was burnt alive.
. The following are the extracts from the Oriental
Spectator, a Journal as hostile as the Austrian Observer
to clue Greek's :

Ibrahim Pacha seems to have made Tripolisza the
centre of his military operations. When he et out,
with WOO men. to make a reconnoissance in the Mores,
ci far as to Napoli di Romania, he had to pass the very
difficult defiles of Leondari ; the passage there is cer-

tsiely =now s and abe*vs, the mountains are se de".
that ilia distance between the two Stl. Main is lass than

•
Pa pisiollb` oh It wi on one of them heights that Colo-
Cormal ha 4 ixiiteki and (milled himself. Ibrahim,
baring reconnoitred the position of the Greeks, laughed
at the grois fault they had committed ; took possession
of the neighbouring mountains, which they had neg-
lected; was even able to plant his cannon; and de-
stroyed with ease the fortifications in which the Gret ks
thought themselves secure from attack.
The brave Colonel Villasse, who was on the spit,
pointed pointed out to Colocotroni the danger of their position,
if the Pacha should attack them by turning the moun•
tain. This was, in fact, Ibrahim's intention, as he has
since declared. The Greek General yielded to the re-
presentations of the Colonel, and ordered a retreat du•
ring the night.
It was in this manner that the Egyptian, almost
without firing a shot, made himself mater of the im-
portant defile of Leondari, in which he le.t some t:oops
to guard it; he then proceeded to Tripolizza, where he
I stopped the progress of the fire which the Greeks had
kindled, and lett there a garrison of 500 men, which!).
thought sufficient for the weak enemies whom he had
to combat. Hence be advanced to the environs of
this capital.
Here follows a letter giving an account of the,
skirmish at the Mills, in which, it is said, the Turks
had two killed and several wounded, and the Greeks
two wounded, one of whom was the chief Manigoni.
The spectator promises to give, in its next number,
the details of the farther successes of the Turks.
