ALB.kNY, JANUARY 19.

I have this day attended the Court Martial. sitting
in this city, for the trial of General Hull. It is corn:
posed of Major-General Dearborn, President ; Briga-
dier General Bloomfield, Colonels Fenwick, Bogar-
dus, and Smith ; Lieutenant-Colonels Scott, Dennis,
Livingston, Stewart, Davis, Connor, House, and —.
Mr. Van Beufin, of Hudson, Judge Advocate, as-
sisted by Mr. Parker, a Judge Advocate of the Army.
The charges which were exhibited by the Secre-.
Lary of War are three —u Treason, Cowardice, Ne-
glect of duty and unofficer-like conduct." There are
three specifications under the first head, four under
the second, and 7 under the third. They were drawn
up and subscribed by Mr. Dallas, who was appointed
Judge Advocate of the Court, but who declined, at-
tending here, and Mr. Van Beufin was assigned in
his place. Soon after the Court was opened General
Hull came in, and ,Mr. Colder, a Counsellor at Law
for New York city, sat by, and appeared to aid him.
The General read to the Court a long but well written
paper, the object of which was to request, that he
might 'have Counsel to assist him in cross-examining
the Government's witnesses, examining his own, and
in discussing and illustrating all parts of his defence,
he quoted some military and many common law trea-
tises to prove this right, and the paper contained also
a request, that after the trial commenced, it might
[ proceed without any delay or interruption. utter
this was finished, the hall•was cleared for the Court
to deliberate; and they decided that he was to be
aided by Counsel only to advise with, and make sug-
gestions to him, the Judge Advocate must do
,all
things else, and th(t the defendant would be indulged
himself to any reasonable length. To-morrow, the
examination of witnesses will commence. Among
those attending are the Hon. Mr. Enstis, late Secre-
tary at War, General Cass, Colonel Miller, and many
Officers of.the,4th Regiment. The same charges are
411 specified under each head, and compose twenty-
three folio pages. The Court sits in ihe Judicial.
Court-roop4 an the capital.

Extract of a letter from a Non-commissioned Officer
of the 7Sth Regiment, to his wife, dated Calmhout,
14th January, 1814:

6k We were engaged yesterday In a bloody battle, and nothing
but Divine care could have preserved sd many of us. We
marched day and night by forced marches, until we joined the
main Engli.h army, and on the 12th we travelled upwards of
thirty miles--a thing almost impossible in this cpuotry, at this
time of the year. Next morning we engaged the French as soon
as we came up with them, when the gallant 78th regiment nobly
*hewed their bravery. We =rebel close to the strong city et
Antwerp; and although !an of arriving In this country, we were
ordered to move on to the attack of a village, which was defended
by an immense number of the enemy. We proceeded with true
hearts, and did not fire a dozen shots, when we cheered, and
successfully charged the french like soldiers of B.itain. The
78th alone charged and routed about 3000, and in less than an'
hour's fighting, drove the:u.before us in every direction. Such
behaviour the General said he never saw, nobly setting an ex•
ample to the other regiments. The French fought us very hard,
and they suffered most cruelly ; we could not move on for their
killed and wounded. I hope it may be deemed a mere glorious
day than that of Maida.

We also suffered severely, but we suffered .gloriously. Mr.
M'Kenzie and Mr. Ormsby, killed. Colonel MiLead, Captain
Sime, Lieutenants Bath and Chisholm, wounded, and about 30
men killed and wounded. I had two balls through my bonnet'
third ball passed through the bottom of my halbert, and a fourth
having struck. the blade it, bounded against my head, and
grazed my right check. The severe stroke it gave me so stupil
fled me, and.made my heat', so dizzy, that I fell Bat on my back.
Every person aboiat me thought I was killed ; but I rose in a mo-
ment with renewed vigour, and thanked Gun for the narrow
escape 1 to Just as I fell into the ranks again, my next. nun,
a fine lad, Nlactionald, wail shot through the head. Ny this time
bur Highland blood get warm, and though infinitely inferior in
F number, we attacked the whole 3300 opposed to us, and drove
them before us like sheep. Our piper, Munro, who was wounded
and unable to stand, sat where he fell, and playel Johnnie Cope'
and the' Highland Laddie' with the spirit of a true Caledonian.
Mr. Ewan MPherso commanded the 341 company in action,
andi was his covering serjeart. The officers are getting fund ut
me niece the action.- 'I he heat of the fire was uptin the 2d, 3d,
4th, ritti, and 6th companies. Colonel M‘l.eod bad the command
of a brigade consisting of four regiments, and though wounded
early; he remained with the„ 78th the echote time, aturdid not
leave us until we had driven the French out of the town."
