Admire! Hallowell then gave evidence of the rea.
sons which induced him to advise sending the cavalry
to Wagner. When with Sir John Murray on the
bight of the 11th, after he had decided on abandon-
ing th* siege of Tarragona, Sir John Murray told
him he must get as many guns down as pliable; ai
for horses they were out of the question. The wit::
mess said no; if he would send the ciitalty to Bala-
goer ~ith a column of infantrv, they would be em-
barked easily. there, and it would facilitate tke cra-
bs, kat ion at Tarragona.
Sir John Murray, in his statement, had Ecknow-

mornii.g, as Sir J. Murray was aware, both letters went
by the same ship, as was apparent from the letter he
held in his hand ; it was from Sir John Murray, it
was put in and read, nod fully proved the fact stated.
At ten minutes after ten, on the morning of the
I.lth, a general signal was' made to the fleet, that
an opportunity would offer for sending letters to
England: it appeared by the evidence of Captain
Milner, that Sir Jew Murray's dispatch was closed
about that time, and by the evidence of Captain
Sharp, that the Hyacinth did not sail till four o'clock
that afternoon.

Admiral Hallowell offered a letter from Sir John
Hurray, dated the 19th of June, 1813, to prove
that the writer himself thought the siege was raised
without sufficient cau,e.
Sir J. Murray objected to its production.
The Cotter, wider all the circumstances, rejected
the let try%

Sir John Murray declined cross-examining the
Admiral, and admitted that he knew perfectly that
the two letters went together; he widind to make a

them.

After good deal of discusion en the point of ad-
journment, it VMS agreed that Sir 3. Murray should
make his observations at the next meeting of the
Court, which was at length fixed for half-pad 12 to.
morrow, when the Judge-Advocate will reply to the
two first chaiges, and on Monday Admiral Hallowell
will reply to the third charge.

have been extremely active. The Count Rasonowski,

against whom Bonaparte issued formerly some severe
Proclamations.
