and then sent word tn me- vs. Mr.. Walker tells you,

knew, as his own evidence shows, OF my arrange
ment with Sinclair-ior the jamestown also.
Mr.. Walker, being on shore shorty after, learned
that somebody was cbtaiuing provisions in the
name Of the inmestown. ut the BARRACKS. Knowing
tat SDcla'r's pass for Palermo, Mr.. Walker
reported what he had Leard to me. ut oace d.
Iected him 10 20 to the BARRACKS aud prnmptly
disavow any connection between the jamestown
and this transaction. When Mr.. Walker arrived
there be was shown, much 10 his ast0nishm-nt, q
document under the consular seal Of the United
States, making acquisitions for e jamestown, and
learned that this honest transa aton had been car
ried on with the sanction Of and was effected by,
the Hon. Mr.. Pendeton. Mr.. Walker, in the name
of his captain, rcpudiat.d the whole affair." and 1t
/ was so stopped.
On that same evening Commodore Coo addressed
me on tho subje o. frauds in The supplying of pro-
visions. which letter answered the next day, toll
Ing the Commodore what had previously been done.
Copies OF this correspondence were sent to Mr..
pendleton, who at oaae W my boat, went to the

Here let US ausc m0mont The Court have
already had their attention called to the false con-
struction Mr.. PEI dleton has endeavored to place
np0n this COR esrOcdence having before him, aS
the very time, the evidence which exhibits the at
tempt in its true light. But the same gentleman
has tried t. convince the Court that II was very
suspicious circumstance that should send TO Bar
rscas, and not to Palermo, on the subject. We
have seen that Mr.. Walker was sent to BARRACKS
before Commodore Cues letter was received; but
Mr.. Pendleton did what he falsely aroused me of
doing, aud what he seemed to think such q
terrible crime. When this correspondence was lai
before him he instantly, himse I, went To BARRACKS,
and not to Palermo. II there nothing in the
correspondence to Justify me in sending to the Bar
racas, which DID not DO Jon it, could there have
been anything to justify Mr.. PendlctOn's going
there? Is not guilty consciousness OF where the
fraud really was tic only EXCLAMATION left us7 Well,

We now come to the occurrences connected with
the raising the blockade Of Buenos Ayres.
Some days before the 10th OF June, 1853, the
saimak.r OF the jamestown heard the crow OF the
Coreo threaten to take her to the inside party
on the 10th the Enigma went over, and her captain
boasted, in the hearing Of Lieut.. HAL that he had
es aped from Coe with shotted guns AID ready for
Correo, and heard that the crew were much dissa
tisfed with uIquizs, who had not paid them aud
had furnished them with no supplies, tire atcning
were reported TO me, being then unable to leave
the chip. Towards evening on the 20th tho block.
aiding squadron went over; aud whlo the occurrence
was taking place Gee sent an officer to the james,
town, who told both me and Mr. Adams that the
crew Of the Correo mad overthrow Goes authority,
and he asked an as, lum on board my ship. Neither
nor my oflcers-eycn those who were much on
shore-ss the testimony invariably shows, doubted
this statement. They received him ut the gangway
with extended hands says Mr.. Stembcl; because, as
Mr.. Walker says, they taought him prosecuted
man. His very crew confessed, 10 Mr.. Walkers
hearing, that he was not to blame for their going
over. Am TO be condemned for giving shelter to
person who had been uniformly kina, polite, and
courteous to mo, and whom the universal sentiment
on board pronounced TO be an Innocent aad unrortu

Sehenck have acknowledged before this court thai.

on the subject, whi; n, with my answer, you have

to be perfectly satisfactory.
