Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the
1 12th May, state that the Maidstone arrived at that place on the
' 27th of April, after a passage of 66 days, having left Plymouth on
the 22d of February. The only accident which happened during
the voyage was the death of young Desor, a very hue lad, one of
her midshipmen, who, while playing in the mizen-tep, fell off, and
struck against the gunwale of one of the quarter•boats, and fell
senseless overboard. lie was picked up in that state, and recovered
his senses in a day or twe ; no bone was broken. but a dreadful
pulsation succeeded on the right side; he became well enough to
walk about, when he was attacked with a liver complaint, and died
within a day's sail of the Cape, much regretted. This sad accident
happened soon after the skip left Plymouth. The Tweed, 22, Loc_d
JouN CHUILCHILL, sailed from the Cape on the 11th of May, with
the Hasty, for the Mauritius; Lieut. Nasu had charge of the latter
vessel. Mr. Maxwatt, the boatswain of the Tweed; had been
tried by a Court lidartial, for breaches of the 2d and 26th Articles
of War, and was sentenced to death, but the CZOCIitiQU of the sen•
truce was delayed.
