BR. OFFICERS AND sPAsEsH PATRIOTS.
We have taken some pains TO ascer-
tain the precise state OF the circumstan-
ces in the case OF the ten British officers
on Friday committed for trial, by the
Judges Of the circuit court row III ses-
sion, and offer the following outline as
one which we believe may be relied on
as far as it goes. Colonel John ID. Need
ham, captain John d. Perkins, captain }.
B. Holland, captain - Farrier, EeHts.
Richard Stacy, James Stacy and Charles
" ebs;er, Surgeon Robert Fry. sejeant-
major BENJAMIN Pearkes, AID Frederick
Beii1, said to be a Cossaque n'b!eman,
are the parsons implicated in the alleged
misdemeancrs. The substance Of the
charge was that they made arrangements
last summer in Brussels TO combine and
create regiment OF cavalry, with which
tn ION the Patriots in South America.-
With this design they embarked at Ant
werp On board the American ship Parnas-
so, and arrived at New-London few
weeks ago. From there they came t"
Philadelphia, and took their passages 90
board the brig Ellen, Of this port, which
vessel cleared out last week for Surf
IAN. They were accompanied by John
Williams and Peter Hogan, who were to
have served in the capacity Of scJeants
or commissaries. and by whose irfer,ns-
ton to the Spanish consu the intended
exDedition was discovered and interrupt
ed. 1t appeared that each man was fully
proyided with cavalry equipments, ana
there vas no doubt of their intention to
take part with the Parrots IN carrying
on hostiii,ies. They were regularly drill
led every morning at the cOloncl's quar-
tiers in Philadelphia until arrested, and
most. if rot ali OF then, il was under
stood. had been in the British service
Ore of them were the Waterloo badge
in bis button hole. After a very full ex-
animation of many witnesses on both
sides, the court remanded them all toprl
son, where they are TO remain till April,
tlh. time OF their trial unless they can
give bail each one 10 the sum Of three
thousand aoila's.
Ad,esting to the os'snsible state OF
things in Europe, j; is remarkable that
British officers should have been assOcia-
ted in the capital If Netherlands for wa
siug war against Spain. Either the au-
thority or the disposition Of the English
and the Dutch governments, for repress-
ing host,liiies against thatof Spain would
seem to be somewhat questionable.
Since the above hs. been in type, We
learn that special eour, will be held in
December, for the trial Of the above nam.
cd gentlemen.
