Extract of a Letter, dated Genoa, Sept. 27, made
public at Lloyd's r—ei The object of the present is to
inform you, that our memorial to the Court of Turin,
against the duties of transit levied here upon certain
gouda arriving in vessels loaded for this port and
Leghorn, or otherwise similarly situated, and Doi
.rhistioed to be landed in this place, has been properly
received; and that, in consequence, a decree has
been ;seised by the Government of this country. abo-
lishing the tax entirely. I expect a copy of the decree
to-day ; in the mean time, as I had requested you to
call the attention of your shipping interest to this
subject, I beg you will•give all publicity to this intel.l
ligence, in order that neither Shippers, nor Captains
of vessels. carrying goods for Leghorn, may in future
be deterred from entering this port, under the idea
(which was just while the late tax existed) that Genoa
had ceased (in opposition to the stipulations of the
treaty of the Congress of Vienna, annexing the Duchy
of Genoa to the Crown of Sardinia) to be a free port."
The American schooner Antelope, WRIGHT, from
Savannah, has arrived at St. Pierre:. Previous to
her arrival the crew had agreed to murder the Cap-
tain, mate, and supercargo; and one of the muti-
neers had his hand uplifted Hu the purpose of plung-
ing a long knife into the bosom of the Captain, when
the man at the helm relented, seized and disarmed
him. A parley ensued, when they were induced by
promises to relinquish their purpose. They were
committed to jail on their arrival.
We are happy to state that the report of the brig
Highlander, Doum.u, having been lost on Prince Ed-
wara's Island, (as stated in a former Paper), is un-
founded ; she passed through Aberdeen Bay on Tues-
day, all well, for Grangemouth, from St. John's,
New Brunswick, which she left on the 16:h August
last. Left loading there the brig Douglas, for Cork.
On the evening of Friday the 19th ult. three boys,
two of whom, named Andrew Black and George
Taylor, belonging to Crail, and James Robertson,
from Kinghorn, went off in a small boat, for the Fur.
pose of conducting a sloop that was not far distant
from the shore into the harbour of Crail. After they
bad reached the vessel, it seems they were not able to
manage -her, and therefore Taylor and Robertson
were dispatched to Crail to procure more assistance,
Black bring left on board the vessel to await their re.
turn. Shortly after their departure the boat had gone
upon a rock, and from the violent sea running, was
soon filled with water, which afterwards stink. top.'
them with the two unhappy mariners, who were
drowned.

The herring fishery this year is exceedingly favour-
able. On the Isle of. Man coast, and also on the
IWest of Scotland, some boats have bent known to
take at two or three draughts, what produced rit6o.
Letters from St. Petersburgh state, that immense
quantities of hemp, flax, and tallow, cannot be shipped
on account of the scarcity of vessels. The Sound List.
which is just received, mentions the sail,int of inim 2
to SOO ships, mostly British, for the bights. poetic,'

The Court having duly weighed and considered the eThl"

With respect to the Third Charge, the Court is of opicjai

Upon which Charges the Court came to the fol.
lowing decision :
The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evi-
dence for and against the prisoner, together with what be has
alledged in.lais defence, is 1)1 opinion, with respect to the first
charge, that the prisoner's return of the Ist of March, 1817,. is
lint a take Return in the sense implied by the Articles of War;
but that be is Guilty of disrespect and lasubortlioarion, in refu-
sing to make the alteration regoire.l by the Surgeon.o.-neral.
With respect to the Second Charge, the Cow' is of opinion,
that the prisoner is Guilty of falsely stating, as an excuse to the
Surgeon-General, he had not seen the Order, but the Court
would rather attribute it to inadvertency, than a premeditated
wish to deceive.

With respect to the Third Charge, the Court is of opinion that
the prisoner is Not Guilty.
With respect to the Fourth Charge, the Court is of opinion,
that the prisoner Is Guilty of behaviour unbecoming the charac-
ter of an Officer, in having used violent and disrespectful lan-
guage to Doctor Irwin, his immediate Commanding Officer, when
in the execution of his duty ; and in having falsely aecued Doc-
tor Irwin of having cen.,ured him in language that one Gentleman
should not make use of to another.

With respect to. the Fifth Charge, the Court thinks It not
proved, and does therefore—Acquit the prisoner.
'I he Court !aka% into conrderation all the Charges of which
the Prisoner has beet. found Guilty, thinks it proper to observe,
that the terms " scandalous and unbecoming the character cf a
Gentleman," do nut appear to be applicable to his conduct ; bur
is of opinian that the prisoner's conduct has been highly insu-
bordinate, tisrespecttul, and subversive of Military Discipline;
and does, there ore, sentence the prisoner, Nicholas Fitzpatrick,
to lose such portion of his rank, u will place him In the List of
surgeons of the Ordnance Medical Department, under the next
ai su fns scion to Mr. E. Berk.
