BOSTON March u.

By the Raltick, Captain Blown, who arrived
on Wcdneiday in rs days, and the Packer, capt.
Trott, in nineteen days from Liverpool, we have
received London files TO til 9Th February.
AT time Ike the prefens, when the fate OF
ma eions is depending on events, which byrepoft
were fuppoied lipe for execution, expectation is
naturally RATED TO the highea pitch on the an.
nunciation Of arrivals from the theatre OF War.
But the prefent accounts, like thote received f.
months, are barren of almoG every incident, ex-
cept the minus:se ofsprepsra,ion for saaut on the
one hand, and defence on the other. Much o.
the EngliGl papers 1hsve been occupied with ipe
culations on the nature Of their Volunteer ehab-
lithments if they dciclve the name CT fHHBly@
mens. The nation begins to experience what
was very ferrous fubje9 OF complaint at the
cumnencem ent of our Revolution in America,
among the provincial Volunteers: that men nor
organized on the principles Of a regular army,
caunot be fubiecf to that dieiplife and iltoJdna-
ton efI.ntaI to render troops rficienC in proper
ton 70 their numbers. Some improvements arc
deiired and contemplated with view 10 effect
among the militia aHociations an organization
more near reiembling that of III: regular army.
Thefc improvements are rated by the enbrcllity
and lifleE irrefolu,ion which characterize the ad
miniftration of MIR. Addington, and whieh are
now caufes ofmnch complaint and alarm IN the
"a ton. All are llitca in win to fuppoft the
Government and defend the country: bat the
mott patriotic difpoftiuns reqaire the aid OF ~
fem, TO merit confidence.
From pernfal of the files before IA, we are
enabled to prcfcnt our readers with a Journal OF
minor incidents and remarks, beginning early IN
January.

7ohn Gamp5sNs deposition.

7. Campbell appeared before the COM
mittee appointed to enquire into the Judlei-
al conduct OF Samuel Chase, one OF the
Judges of the supreme ccurtoft the l'nlted
States, and Richard Peters, district judge
for the district of Pennsylvania, and made
oath, that he was one of the grand jury
summoned to attend the circuit court OF the
United States, forthe districtof Maryland,
on the first Monday in May last, and was
appointed by the court the Foreman OF the
said iury-That charge was delivered to
the grand jury by judge Chase, part Of
which he (the deponent) hath since seen
and read the National Intelligencer, pub
lished on Friday, the fitch of August, 1908,
and extracted from the Anti Democrat,
edited In Baltimore, and that the said ex-
tract, to the best Of the deponent's recol-
lection, is true copy as far as it goes, of
the charge delivered by the aforesaid jadge
TO the grand jury-Ihis deponent being
asked by the committee, whether he recol-
lects, the Judges having recommended'to
the jury, to use their exertions when they
reformed TO their homes, and at the APP
preaching election, to prevent the passage
of the law for altering the judicial system
of Maryland--answers, that he has not
perfect recollection of the words used by
the judge in that part,of his charge-but
believes thatjudge Chase expressed a hope
that the jury would consider the effects OF
the proposed law, in the same manner that
he did, and if so, that they would exert
themselves in convincing the people, that
the lawwould be perniciouss and ought not
eobe passed.

Questioned BY the Chairman.

This conversation was probably of jo-.
cular nature. Did it appear SO TO you!
Aaszver. Judge Chase appeared to me,
to be as much in earnest, as any one that
ever saw. The. conversation commenced
with him, in consequence Of late publica-
ton in the Richmond Recorder. The o.
Their gentleman might not, have been serl-
Gus. Mr.. Washington put the question
as if TO draw forth Mr.. Chase's opinion. 4
was struck with the conversation, and men
toned it the next day, if did not that
night, as very extraordinary expression
from judge.
Question. Werethere any other persons
in the room?
A,ssaver. Nobody, i think, but the three
Judges and myself. l am very sure there
was nobody else.
