I must thus abstain from an obvious propriety, I must not omit
to state that my communications have not been less satisfactory ;
and that I ant sure my prosecutor will admit, that up to the mo-
ment of instituting these charges, I have ever been on good
terms with all my brother Officers. One name I cannot forbear
to mention, front the lastiug honour which it confers on our
Regiment, and the high estimation in which it is holden every
where ;—it is that of bleier-General Sir John Riley, K.C.B.
lately in command of the Corps ; and I trust he will forgive me
for desiring to put the seal of his most worthily distinguished
name to those of the eminent persons I have before mentioned.
I shall only presume to say, that he always did me the honour
of his most condescending kindness while my Commanding Of-
ficer, and up to the last week continued the same conduct, hear-
tily wishing, in common with Lord Hardwick, that I could ob-
tain a Majority. Since I have been placed in this unhappy re-
verse of condition, I addressed, tither too late, a formal letter
to each of my three Commanding Officers, and though in Eng-
land, Scotland, and Ireland, have received the answers which I
lay before you. I cannot but feel gratified, in mentioning Sir
John Byng (a name associated with England's glory), who,
though employed with his usual activity in the command of the
most extensive district in England, lost not a post in answering
according to its terms. Nor can my gratitude be less to Major-
General Balfour. Sir John Elley is the third. 1 shall now,
Gentlemen, proceed to call only two witnesses to prove the facts
I have stated in this address, and then leave my case in your
bands; only returning my most grateful thanks for the attention
which you have afforded to it throughout, and the desire which
you have manifested to aid the search after truth, so honourable
to the character of a British Court-Martial.

Captain Jebb then observed, that something was
said _about the Duke of Wellington having► repri-
manded him : if his Grace had been pleased to do so
on any one of the charges before the Court, such a
reprimand being a punishment, the charge could not
be maintained here.

BOLIVAR'S PROCLAMATION.

" COLOMSIANINOIV all our delightful country is free! The
victories of Bombena and Pichencha have completed the object
of your heroism. From the banks of the Orinoco to the Andes
of Peru the liberating army marched in triumph, and has covered
with its protecting arm the entire extent of Colombia, one
place alone resists, but it must fill.

"Colombians of the South, the blood of your brethren has
redeemed you from the horrors of war, it has opened to you an
entrance to enjoy the most sacred rights of liberty and equality
the Colombian laws have consecrated the alliance of social prero-
gative with the rights of nature.
" The-Constitution of Colombia is the model of a Represen-
tative Repailie, and a powerfuldovernment c a better will never
be found among the political institutions of this world, where
nothing** perfect. Rejoice that you belong to a great family,
which noir reposes under the shadow of the laurels it has gained,
and which has nothing more to desire than to see accelerated
the march of time, to unfold the eternal principles of happiness
that our laws contain. Colombians, partidpate with me, and
erect your altars to the Liberating Army, which has given you
glory, peace, and liberty. (Signed) " BOLIVAR."
" Head-quarters, Porto, June 8."

Lieutenant-Colonel Clement Hill was then called,
who proved that he was in command of the Regiment
on the 2d and 3d of March ; that Captain Jebb was
absent; that when he returned be apologised for
having been detained by his friend, but that it was
the first time, and he readily excused it.
Mr. George Whitehead proved that Captain Jebb
had, in consequence of becoming a security for Mr.
Itaetliff for £lO5O, been, on the departure of Mr.
Raetliff; taken into the custody of the Sheriff by his
clients in April and August last; that Mr..Raetliff
was a man of £6OOO a year, as he knew from good
authority, and that his bill would have been dis-
counted by witness's hankers, Chambers and Co. but
for some difference between parties who had consi-
dered Captain Jebb as hardly used in the business,
and would not have taken any proceedings against
him but for the departure of Mr. Radcliff.
S. Buxton, Esq. being called, stated his knowledge
of those arrests of Captain Jebb in April and August;
his having reason to expect liberation immediately,
as he had sent to witness, who had paid the money
in one instance, and Capt. Jebb's brother in the other.
Mr. SCOTT then tendered the documents to be de-
livered in as evidence of what had been stated in the
address, among which were securities for between
£5OOO and £6OOO due to Captain Jebb.
These letters were then produced, Is the answers
to a letter of Captain Jebb to each of the Command-
bag Officers of the Regiments in which-he had served,
the 29th Foot, Scotch Greys, and the Blues, being
from Sir John Byng, General Balfour, and Sir John
Elley, who all testified CO his character as an Officer
and a Gentleman ; and the latter, that there was no
duty which he would not perform with energy.
The defence here closed.—Colonel Hill required
half an hour to reply, which was granted.
On the Court being opened; he read it. It was in
substance, that his charges were chiefly proved ; that
he knew nothing of Captain Jebb's being confined till
he heard it in the Court ; and he trusted it would be
believed he had only brought forward these charges
for the good of the service, and not from any other
motive. The Court then closed, but their decision
will not transpire till it has received his Majesty's
approbation.

Yesterday, the Loan MAVoa dined at the Albion
Tavern, with the great body of the paper-manufac-
turers f the kingdom. His Lordship, a few days ago,
entertained a large party of these Gentlemen in a
splendid manner at dinner at the Mansion-House.
Deft..-About five o'clock on the morning of
Thursday se'nnight, a meeting took place neat the
turnpike, on the Cork toad, a small distance west of
Waterford, between Mr. BARRON. of William-street,
in that City, and Mr. CHARLES EYRE, a Lieutenant
in the Ist Royals, quartered there—the former at-
tended by Doctor ALCOVE, the latter by an Officer
of his regiment. The parties discharged two shots
each; in the second fire, Mr. BARRON s ball passed
through the fleshy part of Lieutenant Evaa's right
thigh, and lodged in his left; fra:tering a part of the
thigh bone; the ball was extracted on the spot The
wound, though serious, was not considered of a very
dangerous nature, and Mr. EYRIL was carried home
to the barrack by a party of his regiment, on a litter.
The duel originated in the discontinuance of some
attentions on the pprt-ot Lleptetrant Evna to a Lady
