KERUART, TO A GENTLEMAN IN GREENOCK.
" I embrace the opportunity of a ship from Liver-
pool, of informing you of our having arrived here from
English Keys, from whence we sailed on the 7th inst.
on board the schooner Woodburn, under convoy of
his Majesty's ship SAynas, from which we parted on
the night of the 13th, in the Gulph, and arrived on
the 22d. lam sorry to say, immediately on our arri-
val we were put under seizure, the Non-intercourse
Law having taken place on the 21st inst. It is un-
certain whether a condemnation will take place or
not ; however, I have the unpleasant prospect of being
detained a considerable time. Mr. MOODIE, British
Consul, has been attentive in giving advice ; he has
likewise wrote off to the British Charge d'Affaires at
Congress respecting us.—There is a ship, the Benson,
of London, only now arrived (put in in distress, hay.
ing sprung a leak in the Gulph) that sailed from Hon-
duras for London 21 days before us.—We have a
French schooner privateer for our neighbour; we have
also two schooners and a brig of war cruizing off th e
harbour."

counts to the 3d ult. The island is in good health.

Mr. HAS!, from the Bank of England, yesterday
attended at the Stock Exchange, where he read a let.
ler, dated 23d inst. from the CHANCULOR of the Ex.
CHZQUKR to the Covernor and Deputy Governor of
the Bank of England, on the subject of supplying the
deficiency in the subscriptions for funding £1'2,000,000

about four millions nine hundred thousand pounds, ,
which is proposed to be supplied as follows :—For 1
every £7O money, the subscriber to receive /172 12s.
Navy 5 per cents. Exchequer Bills, dated from April
1810, to 6th of March 1811, to be taken as cash;
preference being given to those who are original sub-
scribers. The plan to be submitted to Parliament,
and, on its approval, the days for receiving subscrip.
lions would be fixed to take place between the 6th
and 9th of May.—Should a sufficieat sum not be sub-
scribed on this proposed plan, to make up the defi-
ciency, such deficiency would be made part of the
loan for the service of the present year, which (exclu-
sive of such deficiency) would be about twelve mil-
lions sterling.

of Plymouth, started on the St. German's road, to

wards of a minute.

yesterday morning, between Mr. TMZO3ALD, of Skin-
ner-street, aad Mr. KNIGHT of Blackfriarstroad, for

won by theformer Gentleman ; the distance was two
miles, which was performed in six minutes and three

Horse-Guards, April 18.
" Sin—Having had the honour to lay before the
PRINCr REGENT the proceedings of a General Court-
Martial held at the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, on the
Ist of April, 1811, and continued by adjonrnments to
the 6th of the same montl t, for the trial of Major Auo us.
TUS NORTH ESTI one of his Majesty's Assistant-Quarter.
Masters General, who was arraigned upon the under.
mentioned Charges, viz.
“ to. That Major Northey did, on the 56th of August, 1810,
send a challenge to Captain Algernon Langton, of his Majesty',
sixty-first (or South Gloucester) Regiment of Foot, in conse-
quence of the evidence which had been given by Captain Lan,tc.
ton before a Board of General Officers, appointed to invesiigatsl
Major Northey's character, which met on the 7th of August,
1811.

" 2d. That Major Northey, at Cheltenham, on the Mita
October, I itiO, did, at two different times on that day, behave
with insult and outrage towards Captain Langton, and did then
conduct himself in a scandalous, infamous manner, seek as is
unbecoming the character of an Officer sada Oentlelnia."
Upon which Charges the Court 'came to the folloWs
ing decision :
" The Court having maturely weighed and ennsklered the evid.
denee adduced on tbf prosecution, as well as what ha. been
offered in defence, are of opinion that the prisoner, Major Augus-
tus Northey, is Guilty of the First Charge, except so much as
alledges the challenge to have been sent in consequence of the
evidence which had been given by Captain Langton before a Board
of General Officers appointed to investigate Major Northey s
character, which met on the 9th of August, lain.
" The Court also finds the prisoner Guilty of the Second
Charge, except so mach as alledges that he, the prisoner, did then
conduct himself in a scandalous, infamous manner, such as Is uta
becoming the character of an Officer and a Gentleman, of which
latter part the Court acquits the prisoner.
" The Court do therefore adjudge Major Augustus Norther
to be cashiered. The Court have felt themselves bound to pass
this sentence. in conformity to the 9d article, 9th section of the
Articles of War. In the performance, however' of Its painful
duty, the Court cannot but express an anxious solicitude in the
unfortunate situation of the prisoner, whose character, unsullied
as it has been exhibited from unquestionable evidence, has so lone
suffered front unmerited accusations.
" The Court therefore humbly recommends him to his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent's moat favourable coosidsrasioa.
"'I am to acquaint you that the Gourt having adjudged the
prboner, Major Norther, to be cashiered, in conformity to the
Articles of War, which expressly provide such punishment for
the. crime charged and proved against hith, the Prince Berd, Its
the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, was pleased to ap-
prove and confirm their decision.
" The Prince Regeet was at the same time pleased to take
into his most gracious consideration the extreme provocation co-
der which Major Northey's feelings were irritated, towards the
committal of an act which,however subversive of good order and
discipline, cannot be looked upon in any other light than as the
natural impulse arising from a strong setae of the injury
honour Ms sustained, by the aspersions which appear to have
been so studiously propagated (even after the deliberate deckles
of a Board of General Officers) against a character which Ms
received the most honourable support in the concurrent testi-
mony of several respectable witnesses :—And his R.ziiir-rfWitless
was accordingly most traet.";:ry pleased io command that Major
Northty should bt restored to his rank and situation in the Army.
