BATTLE OF NAVARIN.

Possewourn, TRIIIIIIDAY...BECOND DAY.
(rase ova cosamoitsearr.)
11. Omit was opened this weeping at nine o'clock, when
the second charge was gone into, as to the Genoa firing into
the Albion, which ship had an English ensign at her head, to pre-
sent sack mistakes.

Captain Ustataxv, Commander of the Albion, was examined.—
From his evidence it appeared, that in the beginning of the action
he had not an opportunity of observing the Genoa. It was
about an hour and a half after the action had commenced
when he first observed her ; he did not then think that the was
in the most favourable position for engaging her opponent ;
instead of having her broadside towards her, she was rather
in an angular station, and he was of opinion that she amid
not have fired into her without endangering the Albion, unless she
fired over ; be observed the battle ship with which the Asia was
engaged as well as the opponent of the Genoa became entangled,
and the mainmast of the one and the foremast of the other failing
on board different ships, they were drifting about for a great part
of the night, and ultimately were anchored the following morning ;
they were cat adrift by the Albion's people, and were cast upon the
rocks on the Western side of the harbour, and there lay when they
came away.
(The maps and plans of the engagement of Navarin were again
produced).

The head of the ship was towards the Albion, and her stern
towards the Asia, consequently a considerable portion of the broad.
side was towards her opponent. To account for the position of the
Genoa, the Albion had all her chain loose with one anchor down,
the Genoa had her two anchors down—A question now arose as
to whether, from the position of the vessels, the Genoa could pos-
sibly through mistake fire into the Albion, without being aware of
what she was doing. Captain thOLUIT replied, that he went into
action with a white ensign at the fore .gallant-mast-bead, and when
the halliards were shot away, he had ordered a man to carry one up.
To questions from the Court, the Captain stated, that when the
Albion was repairing there were no English shot observed to have
struck her. The Genoa was in action before the Albion was able
to take up her position, and she was engaged with a Turkish line-
of-battle ship, which was appointed for her opponent. (The Capt.
now observed that the plan now produced was not a correct one.
it was on far too small a scale). The starboard guns of the Genoa
were turned towards the Albion—they were about two or three
cables length distant.
By Sir Histar Btaccwoon—Did not observe any alteration in
the position of the Genoa ; his attention was drawn towards her,
by her engagement with a Turkish ship, and be seeing her fire was

not so brisk, the Albion joined, and the Torkish ship was soon
after silenced ; but he did not impute that to the fire of the Al-
bion solely, but to the united ezertioos of the two ships. He
observed that the firing of the Genoa was not so brisk as at the

commencement of the acdoe, which could be accounted for in
many ways. such as men killed, the disabling of guns, Am.
Cannot say whether the shot which struck the Albion came from

the Genoa; the first intimation he had of it was from the second

muter coming to him from the forecastle, and stating that shot
was pouring in on them from the Genoa. He Immediately re-
paired to the forecastle with the glass, aad observed some of the
foremast guns of the Genoa in the direction of the Albioo, which
most have either struck her, or fired over her. The flag, or
English ensign, could not have been blown da►e, yet the smoke
was so thick that they could only see each other at intervals, and
there were several small Turkish vessels between the Albion
and Genoa. After the action the opponent of the Genoa's fore-
mast and miser-mast fell; the fire of the Genoa was not applied to
any particular ship, but to where she could do the most menden.
There were many Turkish ships in the direction of the Albion, and
it is not only possible, bet probable, that the Albion might be bit
by a shot from any of these.

By Cmam Dscrasnew—He had no reason to suppose that
when the Genoa commenced firing, but she did her duty. The
Albion never received any stone shot Iran the Genoa's opponent,
or front any other Turkish vessel.

CAPTAIN DUNA, of the Albion, was next examined.—lt ap-
peered from his testimony, that so meek was he engaged in board-
ing a frigate, which be did in half an boar, as not to be able to
speak with any certainty of the pasitica of the Genoa. Captain
Drake then went into a long detail of the manoeuvres of the Albion,
during the action, and was not aware that any shots from the Ge-
noa had struck the Albioni

Mr. Wiwass Winn, Muter of the Albion, stated that be was
standing on the forecastle, when the Second Master came to him,
and said that grape-shot was coming in on them from all quar-
ters; he told him not to mind, bat to go back; be returned In
about twenty minutes, and made a second communication to Capt.
Ommany, and stated that grape-shot was coming upon them in the
direction of the Genoa. The Albion then, and not till then, ordered
a White Hone, or St. George's Ensign, to be hoisted, and it was
in consequence of the communication that had been made that it
was done; this occurred about half an hour after the action bad
commenced.
In &buyer to questions, Mr. %inn said, that the shot which
was said to have come from the Genoa could not have come from
any of the Turkish ships; however, of this lw would not be posi-

ties, the smoke was so thick it was almost impossible to see. The
map now produced is a correct one, and the positions of the Genoa
and her opponent are also correct. The Genoa certainly bad her
broadside to that of 'the enemy, and the opponent of the Genoa
was totally distrusted from her fire. She was entangled with the
opponent of the Asia, aad got on board of her, but presently her
foremast and arisen was shot away by the Genoa. The Albion
suffered no loss or damage from the shot supposed to come from
the Genoa, nor was there any person hurt on board.
Sir Edward Codrinvon was next called to be examined on the
third charge—That Capt. Dickenson, being reproved for not using
springs, Am, when it was inserted in the log-book that springs
were need.

Sir Eawaan CODILINOTOW was anxious, before be proceeded, to
make an observation as to the arrangements made by the
Court. It appeared to him they were going to make items of
the allegations or charge', and the comprehensive oath which
he had taken (the oath administered on these occasions differs
from the ordinary oath administered in Courts of Justice--
it obliges you to tell every thing, whether yen are asked or
not, for or against the accused) placed him in a most pecu-
liar situation. The letters be had written to the Admiralty were
written for a general purpose, to give the Admiralty every
information in his power; and what was his surprise to receive a
letter from Mr. Croker, stating that the letters he had written
upon that occasion were considered as charges, and it was incum-
bent on him to prove them. He took Mr. Croker'a letter to Lord
Melville, who gave a direct contradiction to it being incumbent
on him. My Lost (said Sir Edward Codrington) I beg to call to
your Lordship's attention to a conversation which you and I had
upon the subject ; was it not distinctly understood, that where I
gave this information, I was to have nothing to do with the Court
Martial? " Most certainly," was my Lord Melville's reply. Then
how comes it that I now receive a letter from Mr. Croker, saying
that it is incumbent on me to prove the charges made ire my corres-
pondence? Lord Melville replied that it was not the intention of the
Board that I should do se. I then observed, how can I answer this
letter without giving a saes turcourtemts reply—a direct contradic-
tion to its contents ; and I requested Ids Lordship would take it back'
His Lordthip aid, a No FS not, but answer ft." I then retired
and wrote an answer, which I showed his Lordship, who said I had
stated fairly the conversation which bad pasted between us, and did
me the honour to be the bearer of the letter to the Board. Hew
(said Sir Edward) an it be incumbent as me to prove ail I hear,
or anything one person er another saxes ?
The Corms observed, that they were not *slaking Into his con-
duct, but the derv, whit& were Wort tam slap the Mratrally.

Sir Enwaan Contumacy observed, that he was aware of the dif-
ficult situation in which he was placed by the obligation which he
was under from the oath he had taken. He was the reporter of
certain charges or allegations, and yet It was incumbent on bins to
prove on his oat► that which he had heard only from report.
Sir HERR: Bummoo° was of Opinion that it was only requisite
for him to state what he knew of his own personal knowledge.
Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON said there was not the slightest mental
reservation, nor could he, such was its obligation, reserve any.
The COURT was of opinion that it was not incumbent un Sir
Edward to prove any thing except what came within his own
sphere of observation.
Sir EDWARD Conanscrox—Then have I the authority of the
Court to say that which Mr. Croker state,' is a —note?—( We
were unable to bear the conclusion of the sentence, but we believe
he made use of the word "contradiction.")
The Coosa—We have nothing to do, Sir Edward, with Mr.
'Croier.

Sir EDWARD Conansoron said, that the letters he had written
mere never intended to have been made charges in a Court-mar-
tial—it w•as not with that view ;if it had been so, he would not
.gave written so loosely.
The third charge was then read from the log-book of the Genoa.
Sir &mum Cesium:on then gave his evidence, and stated that
Captain Dickenson was reproved by him for not using springs, and
fie could only support the charge by the admission of Captain
Dickenson—he admitted such to be the fact, and assigned as a
cause, his being enable to get his men away from the guns.
To a question from Captain Dices:mon, as to whether he had
any conversation with him at Malta, relative to the springs ?—Str
Edward said he did not recollect it—possibly be had.

The fourth charge was then gone into, which was that the Genoa
bad three Ottoman ships on her starboard side, three silty-gun
frigates on her larboard side a-head, and a double-bank frigate
astern.

Sir Enwazo Consunsrow said it was utterly impossible, If the
entry in the log meant Ottoman ships.

He then went lots a lengthened description of the position of the
respective ships, which we cannot give, as the mail was about to
start when our capon left.

The Court adjourned until to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.
