It appears by accounts received at the Admiralty,
dated July 4, that Admiral Ducaworrit was off

All means of fupply had been cnt off, and it was

The Bost (loop of war, early in July, fent into
Antigua, a very valuable French prize, having on
board 75 boxes of gold dull, 325 elephant's teeth,
and 373 naves from Africa. She had alfo captured
a Hoop loaded with coffee, near Dominique, and
cut a fine (hip out of the harbour of St. Pierre,
Martinique.
A merchant in, the city has received a letter from
a refpeetable correfpondent of his in the Idand of
Jamaica, informing him that his Majelly's (hips, the

Judge Down rstlien add reffed the Juries in a charge
not chat afterifed by any thing very novel, but deriv.
in g confiderable interell from his Lordlhip's mode of
delivery, and the peculiar circumnances of the times.
—After telling them, in the ufual preparatory man-
ner, that they were called upon to enquire between
his Map rry and the fubjeft, and to determine ,f
juff grounds exilic! for finding the fereral Bills of
Indiament which would go before them ; his Lord-
(hip obferved, that the Commiffion now inftituted,
and under which they were called upon to aft as
Jurors, was, in its appointment, not differing from
tbofe which they were acculomed to fee in that
place, the Judges of the land admininering the Law
of the land, therefore it was the lets necelary to ex-
plain its general nature to the Gentlemen whom he
was then addreffing. The peculiar circumftances of
the times, however, called upon him to offer a few
cbfervations.—The Jurors were called upon to affnme
that conaitritional charafter, the proudelt we could
betel, in unnfual times ; the Public Peace was via-
lently broken in a manner to which no man was a
&ranger, and with an audacity, and fhoeking aggra-
vation of crime, inducing his Majelly's government
in this country to lofe no time in bringing tht of-
fenders to judicial inquiry, as loon as the minds of
men were fufficiently compofed to affift in punilbiug
guilt without hazarding the impartiality of Juftice.
From the afpea of the informations which he faw,
he had reafon to believe that fome Indiaments, con-
taining charges of High Treafon, would go before
the juries. A crime unknown to this country be-
fore the rebellion of 1798. Before that period,
peace, tranquillity, and their attendant bleffings—
public profperity and happinefs—pervaded the land;
and there was no reafon to think that the people
would not continue coulcious of fuch an happy
Rate of foctety, and endeavour to preferve it; but
unhappily artful and wicked men had too fix-
ed-dully reduced an ignorant multitude into their
fchemes of impratticable independence, and after de-
nroying their legal Government, to fubftitute that
wretched and pretended liberty, formed on the mo-
del of the violent and changing Wiens of French re-
volution, a fyftem which occafioned more mifery and
wafte of human blond than ever curled mankind.—
They meditated the deftruaion of a Conflitution,
the freed upon earth, and hefirated not to call in the
aid of a Foreign Power, the molt unprincipled and
defpntic, to aid their prnjeas of fancied Liberty ;
hoping to acquire by means of fuch inftruments
what thole very inftruments themfelves did not pa-
les the Iltadow of. The exertions of his Majefty's
government, however, aided by the loyalty of the
land, crulbed the attempt, and havipg done to, that
Government tried by clemency, as well as 6rmnefs,
to bring back an erring and offending multitude to
their duty, and to happinefs. Au aft of general
pardon was paled, which might naturally have been
expected to influence a deluded multitude, and doubt-
lefs on many, very many, that inflneace was effetted,
and notwithftanding the recent infurreaions, there
were the belt grounds for believing that the majority
of thole engaged in the former rebellion would now,
from a conviaion of their errors, the fallhoods of the
doarines which reduced them, and the experience of
the evils produced by French principles both at
home and in other nations, afford to the King's Go-
vernment, on any neeeffity, foreign or domelitc, the
moil effeaive aid. Unhappily, however, it would sill
appear that there were men, fo log to every fade of
duty, gratitude, and feeling of humanity, as to engage
in new treafons, which would form the fubjeas of in-
quiry for the prefent Grand Jury: and to impel to
outrages in which fome or all of the prifoners
indiß-
ed would appear to have been engaged. -
The learned Judge then proceeded to explain the
laws of high treafon, in order to direft the jurors in
finding the feveral bills—thofe laws, particularly that
of Edward the Third, commonly called the declara-
tory Ratute, it is not necefary to repeat. After ap-
plying thole parts of the Ratute fpecifying the ima-
gining and compaffing the King's death, levying war
againtt the King, and adhering to the King's ene-
mies, to the cafes which might coon under the en-
quiry of the prefent coramiffion, his Lordthip very
feelingly adverted to the abominable and cowardly
afaffination of Lord Kllwarden—he dwelt with pe-
culiar force on the lag words and conflitutional in-
jnnaion of that good and venerable Judge, when
writhing in the agonies of death 1 and his Lord(hip
became fo much overpowered by his feelings, as to
be incapable of purfuing that part of his cubic& ; and
it was with difficulty that he tenoned fufficient com-
mand of his voice to continue his charge. He con-
eluded with paying a bananas and deferved cum-
pliment to the mingled clemency and vigour of our
government, and thole conflitutional principles which
direa their admiaiftration ; and to the zeal and ala-
crity of our loyal and gallant Yeomanry he bore the
warmed teninsony ; expreffing his firm confidence
that with the fpirit now pervading the land, we had
nothing to fear from foreign or domeftic enemies;
he then terminated his charge in the cufttunary man.
