EVACUATION AND 3URNING OF RIO DE LA HACHE
BY THE INDEPENDENTS.
KINGSTON, JUNE I.—FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Ily the arrival of the vessels on Thursday and yes-
terday from Rio de la Hache, we have been fur-
nished with some accounts of the movements of the
Independents on the Spanish Continent. It appears
that an engagement took place on the 25th ult. be-
tween the Royalists and the Independents, the for-
mer commanded by Colonel Sanchez de Lima, and
the latter by Colonel Montillo. After having been
warmly engaged for two hours with an army of
2700 men against 700, the Royalists retreated to
Morino, with the loss of 180 men. The Independents
lost thirty men in killed and wounded.
At the termination of the above contest, the offi-
cers of the Independent forces applied to Brion for
their pay, but he did not comply with their demand;
and, being afraid that they would combine against
him, he embarked them, after having previously
taken away their arms, on board the brigantine Lord
Rodney, schooners Enterprise and Cordelia, and
sloops Dash and General Drummond, and then sailed
from that port. The town of Rio de la Hache was
set fire to on the night of the 4th inst. and the fort
blown up on the following day, which is supposed
to have been done by the orders of Brian, at the
,time he was preparing to proceed to' sea. His desti-
nation is not•positively known, but it is conjectured
that he has gone to St. Domingo. -
The town of Alvoira, near Rio de la Hache, was
set fire to and burnt on the 13th tilt. by the Indepen-
dents: The troops evinced a good deal of insubor-,
dination, and all communication was cut off with the
interior. Colonel Montillo went on board the Audi-
netta (Brion's flag-ship) on the 4th inst. and Captain
Chitty acted as Flag Captain on board that ship.
Colonel Montillo, after the action of the 25th ult.
harangued his men, and endeavoured to persuade
them to march against Santa Martha, promising
them full pay- as soon as the town was taken, as he
expected remittances from Jamaica; The soldiers,
however, would not agree to this proposal.
It is stated, that a most disgraceful scene of plun-
der took place at Rio de la Hache, and that every
thing of value was carried off by Brion and his fol-
lowers. The principal part of it was sent on board
the schooner Kate, and it is said that she proceeded
for St. Domingo, as well as the sloop Patty, which
vessel left Rio de la Hache, with the intention of re-
turning to this island.
On board the Enterprise, 149 men of the Irish
Legion were embarked, together with the following
Officers, viz. Major. Clinton, Captains O'Brien, Cox,
Hogan, and Jordan; Lieuts. Smith, Moore, Power,
Duncan, Riley, M'Gill, White, and Ormsby ; one
Officer, Captain Ramsay, and 32 men, on board the
Dash ; two Officers, Lieutenants Bremner and Dun-
bar, and 56 men, on board the General Drummond;
and 40 men, with the following Officers and other
persons, on board the Cordelia, viz.
" Captains Anthony Buchan, Henry Miller, and W. MiDer.,
mott ; Lieutenants John Gray, Abraham Cowen, Anthony Moe.
rig, John Rowe, Robert Gracy, James Lambert, Walter Lana.
bert, Philip O'Donnell, William Masteroom, Thomas Glynn,
Clarks French, Thos. French, Edward Kinh, George Russel;
James Cassidy, John Slern' Wiest (Manion, William• CIS.,
ford, Robert D. Hay, Valentine D'Arcy, Lake Walker, and
Chzrles Ellis; Surgeons John Wilkinson, Edward Campbell,
Thomas Canavan, Henry O'Neil, and George Lofted; Ser-
jeant-Major John Iteyncinf ; Serjeants Henry Kelly and John
Burke; Corporal Daniel Shanly and wife; Mrs. Buchan and
ettild, and Mrs. Gray.
The troops arrived in the Dash were forced on
board by Captain Chitty, who went in an armed
boat, and as soon as he had compelled Captain Ser-
geant to take the men, the* latter hauled down the
colours of the sloop, and informed Captain Chitty
that he considered the Dashes piratically taken pos-
session of by the Independents.

Her Majesty now submits to the House of Lords, that a ,
specification of the place or places in which the criminal acts are
charged to have been committed, should forthwith be furnished
to her Majesty's Attorney-General ; for, if this be denied, it will
be impossible to be prepared to meet the accusation, or to take
preliminary measures for providing defensive evidence against
the charges, without bringing from every place her Majesty bas
visited during tha last ilx years, every witness who had any
' means of observing her Majesty's conduct.
" Hee Majesty further desires to be heard by her Counsel and
Agent, at your Lordships' Bar, in support of this her request."
His Lordship hoped that this last part of the Peti-
tion .would not be refused, but that their Lordships
would give immediate orders to have her Counsel
called in, that they might point out the propriety of
adopting the course required. As he had before said
to their Lordships, no man felt more deeply than he
did the necessity of administering justice in this case;
and he trusted that this anxious desire to see justice
•so admihistered would never be departed from by
-him, after a long life spent in the profession of the
law. Let not the House suppose, from what he was
now saying, that he meant to insinuate that their
Lordships had done wrong in any of their former
proceedings. After having been nominated on the
Committee, he would not presume to charge their
Lordships, or any of them, with having neglected or '
mistaken their duty: Bat, when such serious alle-
gations were made, he hoped their Lordships would
take care that the accused person was allowed pro-
per means to enable her to repel those allegations.
He knew nothing at all as to the places at which the
offence was• said to have been -committed it was
only known that various- parts of the South of gu-
rope were said to have been the Scenes of this alleged
licentiousness ;, and the charge being that of the.com-
mission of criminal acts during a period of six years,
it was utterly inipOssible to meet it unless. their
Lordships granted the specification called for, or,
after they had heard the evidence in ;support of the
charge, they wordy allow the .Queen a fair time for
,her defence bt adjourning the House to such 'a'
period as would give her an opporibnity of having
the assistariceof counter-witnesses. In the first place,
he must say,-and felt it to be his duty strongly to
declare, that, if her request was not complied-with,
she would not have. that opportunity which, ddring
a long professional experience, he had always sonsi-
dered of the utmost importance—that of seeing the
witnesses face to face, and of confronting them with
others by whom they might be contradicted. As he
-had told their. LerdsHips beforeand-he felrer fTom4,
• the tottant of this beart—he eratceived that- if they
adjourned the examination they would not take the

best mode of administering justice; they would, he
thought, take away from the dignity and health. of
the. lipase if witnesses • were sent away before_ thty
were fully cross-examined ; and yet this must be the
case if her Majesty were unacquainted with those
who..were to appear against her, or with the Maxi
to which. their -statements related. What an effect
would it have on the public mind, if a long adjourn-
ment took place 'pending the proceedings! Would
it not tend to-inflame the minds of men, if, in tonse-
.quencc, they supposed that substantial justice- was
not likely to be administered ? Where were -their .
Lordships to be during that period ? Were ther to be
abroad, and. not to have the same- opportunity as
other men to mark the situation of the country ?
Their dignity would not protect them against cen•
sure if they were not most cautious and circumspect
'during the progress of this important proceeding. In
speaking thus he had no personal interest, and it was
impossible indeed that he should : he had no feeling
except that their Lordships. should do what they had -
always done during his recollection—give general
satisfaction by a conscientious discharge of theft duty.
He had blotted out of his mind the motion that was
formerly made, and it was .his duty faithfully to sup-
port whatever future decision their Lordships might
arrive at. The present, however, he must be al-
lowed to observe, -was entirely a new proceeding : it
was one which. they had not before been asked to
adopt. In proposing it to their Lordships :for their
approbation, he conceived that he was bound to
speak out, and not -conceal las opinions: What he
now asked for was not aMatter that had been refused
on a former occasion ; but here, in his place, pen&
big a criminal proceeding, he called-for a specifica-
tion of the places in which the crimewas• said to
hltve been committed. • If their Lordships refused
this, if they would not accede to what appeared to
him to be a fair request, he had only, in. that. event,
to apologize fc.r• having detained their Lordships so
long. He trusted, however, that their Lordships
would giant that part of the Petition which prayed
that the Queen might beard by her Counsel at the
bar of the House.;.—ThrPetition was then handed to
the Clerk by Lord ERSKINE, hut it was not read.
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose font the Wool--
sack. The course of argument adopted by hit Noble
land Learned Fliend who. -had last addressed-their
Lordships, surprised - him exceedingly. ' HiS' Noble
and Learned Friend wished that their Lordships
thould act in this ca-se upon the precederiti-of the
Courts below, with which he had liimself been cons
versant. But where lead he ever known a caieSimi-
tar to the present to have been decided by any of the
Courts below ?- He (Lord Eldon) should not-have
said one word against 'furniihing her Majesty with
a list of the witnesses, if he could reconcile the mea-
sure of granting it, either io the law or the usages of
Parliament. But an application of that nature was
at variance with both, as was also the request Made
in the present instance. •the object of the Petition
was to obtain astatement as to the places and periods
in which the several acts of adultery ',sere said to
have been 'committed. Now the House would see
how little advantage could result from acquiescing
in the request. As the law al present stood with re-
*sect to cases of High Treason, a certain pace or •
places must be specified where' the crime charged was
.resented as. having been committed. This was
done in order to give a more positive character to
the indictment; but the pally accused was still liable
to be tried for similar acts of treason in other coun-
tries. Theft was no restriction whatever in this re-
spect. • He wished to know, then, from his Noble
and Learned Friend, how he thought this application
was at all to be borne out, either by the analogies of
the Courts below, or cf Parliament? He should de-
cidedly oppose it, because lie believed it to be unsup-
ported by principle and unsanctioned by practice, A
weighty and important duty devolved upon him, arid,
he weighty
always do the utmost to discharge it can-
scientiously, heedless of clamour or prejudice. ,
Lord HoLLADID said, he'could not contend with
the Learned Lord who had just spoken on legal sub-
jects, but he thought that some of his-positions were
highly objectionable. The Learned Lord said, that the
course now pursued did not accord with the -analo-
gies of common lavi, under which no such indulgence
'euuld be granted; and that, according to the Ordi-
nary course of Parliamentary proceedings in that
House, it must also be refused. But the Learned
Lord would allos* him to remark, that in the
course of his speech he did not state that the 1)111 of
Pains and Penalties on their Lordships' table was, in
its shape; fraine, or circumstances, by any means so
precise is an indictment; and, therefore, when die
Learned Lord said that no such appkicatiOli was made
in cases of indictrnent; he would answer, that uosuch
application was necessary, because the iodichtment, on
oitme that vilikli was
the face of it, stated many circumstances that Here

Over a pet iiid of six years. The Learned Lord knew
every well that a treason committed three years ago;
and left unquestioned for that time, was no long .

of an accusation. With respect to proceedings in
Parliament, the Learitell Loi d would find it ex-
