"In the courfe of this day the streets have been ftrewed with dead bodies, which are fuffered to putrify without removal. Another chief of the infurgents is taken; but the danger is not fo great from without as within. The generals have been fired at, and one of their aids-de camp was Jat night killed by the fide of his chief. Laft night again the alarm was (pread that the cape was on fire. To day gen. Chriftopher, with his own hand, cut off the heads of two men, and left them among heaps of dead in the public fquares." "07. 30, 1801. "Business has commenced here, though not without much difficulty; confidence is not reftored and the inhabitants think themselves not fafe.-Executions of the criminals are hourly taking place, and we as often hear of their cruel murders; fcarcely a white is left in the part of the country where they marched. The plans of the infurgents were well arranged: they had appointed all their officers, and affigned to them their different stations. This city was the first object of their intended plan, and I affure you it had nearly foccerded. We should have immediately fallen victims to their brutal rage. Touffaint and Defalines are now in the vicinity; the Jatter with a powerful armv. The fears of the prople are by no means fubfided." 71 Orders were received at Portsmouth yef. terday morning to get nine fail of the line ready for fea with all poffible Speed. So urgent were the orders that the thip wrights were fent on board immediately after receiving their quarter's pay, which day has always hitherto been allowed as a holiday. The deflination of this fquadron is fuppofed to be for the Weft Indies. The Magnanime, of 44 guns, arrived on Monday at Plymouth, from Martinique. She failed trom thence feven, weeks ago, with 100 fail of merchantmen. The fleet was difperfed by a violent gale, foon after failing, and, during the paffage, all the merchantmen parted from the convoy. The Mulattoes and Negroes have made themfelves mafters of Guadaloupe, and expelled all the white inhabitants from that island. The Magnanime was in fo much diftrefs, that the was obliged to go into Hamoaze immediately, having experienced fuch dreadful weather on the voyage homeward, that her pumps became choaked, and the crew were obliged to bail out the water that the took in through her leaks; by which exceffive labour they were reduced to no more than 8 effective men; 22 men died on the voyage, and the greater part of the remainder are now ill, by change of climite, fluxes, and de. billy; occafioned by the very great fatigue to which they uniformly have been expofed fince the gale in Decen.br, by hailing out the ship, which was conftantly wet between decks. It is now 24 days unce the Breft feet failed, and a tingle word of advice of it has not been ceived either here or in France. The general opinion however, is, that it has made for Cape Finisterre, there to wait the junction of the other fquadrons. Another detachment of the guards marched in. to town yesterday (of the 34 regiment) returning from the Egyptian expedition. 8] The trial of the mutineers of the Bantry Bay iquadron commenced on Wednesday, at nine o'clock in the morning, on board his majefly's hip Gladiator, at Portsmouth. The court ob ferving feveral perfons taking minutes of the proceedings, confulted for fome time on the propriety of publishing the evidence in detached parts, and at length came to a determination that notes might be taken of the bufinefs, but not publifhed till the conclufion of the trials. The mutineers are fixteen in number, mostly very young men Their trials are expected to latt about a week. 9] Admiral Bartfinck, with his fquadron, confifting of one French, and three Dutch fri gates. having the 7th half brigade of French troops on board, has put to fea A letter from Bofton, of the 21st November fays, the effect in the United States of 10 peace Europe, has been an immediate fall of country produce, and a ftagnation of commercial purfairs. A marine who was tried a few days ago for throwing a bottle at his corporal, was yesterday morning executed pursuant to his fenrence. 14] At the public audience of the 5th inft. Mr. Jackfon prefented his credentials as minifter plenipotentiary from his Britannic majefty, and afterwards dined with the chief canful., mer to fupprefs the fame, between the 1ft and at day of December, 1801. Capt. Eyles, of the Temeraire, attended as profecutor on the part of the crown. The proceedings occupied fix days, and the charges were fupported by a variety of evidence, the minute detail of which would only tire our readers, as the feveral teftimonies vary little from each other: the fubftance may be collected from the evidence of the first witnefs. John Anfrey, a seaman belonging to the Temperaire. He gave the follow ing account: I know the prifoners-on the 1ft of December, in the larboard bay, in the morning I faw 19 or 20 people, among whom were the prifoners -they were drinking either grog or wine-they fwore to be true to each other-when they were going to begin they faiddrink to us like Briith heroes, there is no fear, we will go through the business-thake hands like brothers, ftick to each other, there is no fear if there are no informers-On Saturday morning the 5th, at 9 'clock, Fitzgerald, Collins, Chefterman, and Cook ziked the thip's company if they were willing to came aft, to tell their officers, now the War was over, that they did not wish to go out of the land-they went aft, halfway the gangww, and made a stop-' come and speak to your sfficers like men, now is the time,' and they went aft directly-it was then about 11 o'clock they fake to licuts. Douglas and Gore-Mr. D. akes them what they wanted-they faid they were informed they were going out of the land, and that they did not with to go-the admiral time on deck and asked the fame question-they anfwered that they wanted to know where they were going, and that they would not heave the anchor to go out of the land-the admiral defired them to go down and be quiet-that the Teme Tare had an excellent character, and he should be sery forry to report mutiny in the ship. They all then went down to the lower deck, Fitzgerald, Cook, and Ward said, nobody should drink more than their allowance, and in cafe any hould get drank, they would cob them; and they hoped every man would ftand true to each acher. The word was paffed fore and aft the me evening that the first man who was caught ying on the yard to bend the fails, would be puihed by themselves. I heard Fitzgerald, for one, fying this. Their intention was not to kill or hurt any officer in the ship, in cafe they did not draw their arms against them: but if they [the officers] did fire, or draw their arms, they would thew no mercy. The officers could not kill any more than 50 or 60 of the foremost men; this was faid by Fitzgerald to me: and the first man who turned treacherous, and would not obey the fame as the others, fhould be knocked down dead ftly. A great many more befides myself had this converfation. At the fame time I ard Fitzgerald and Jack Allen fay, there is fear, I believe, but they will go through with their proceedings, but we will not go out of the Allen then faid, there was no fear for the man of war's men, as they would make them what they liked, then they parted. On the 6th of December, about one o'clock, as the men were at dinner, I faw Mr. Lawrence, the master's mite, going round, the deck. After he came, Fitzgerald, Chefterman, Allen, Locker, and Taylor faid, now is your time, lower the ports down; doufe the ports; they were all down but one, which Allen lowered down himfelf. Another port was not quite down-1 beard Ward fay, that port is not down yet. Cam. mings faid, bar the ports. Cook, Fitzgerald, Taylor, Chefterman, and fome others, ordered all the fcuttles to be hauled in. Cummins defired a man to look out of the hawfe-hole, to fee if any boat was coming round, and cheered at the fame time. Lieut. Douglas came and asked what noise that was; when they began to cheer again-he defired them to come aft on the quarter deck, and let the admira! know what they wanted, and if he could grant it he would. They all began to cry, No, no,' and cheered. Jones and Hilliard faid, No, no, fend the mafter of the hip down, we want to speak to him; nobody but he shall come down." At the fame time, lieut. Douglas had his foot on the forelauder, when Hilliard and another tried to unship the ladder; and Simmons (not one of the prifoners) went and faid he had like to break the lieutenant's neck down: Jones and Cook faid break his neck, and kill him.' A few minutes after the officers came down, and tried to keep the people quiet. Cooper, Locker, Fitzgerald, Collins, Chetterman, Cummins, Jones, Hilliard and Allen, cried out, fhoot, fhoot! Taylor Blood looking through the hawfehole to fee if any one was coming. Chriftoph. White was very bufy to try to unship the main ladder, but could not. They then went up to the quarter-deck, when the admiral afked the fhip's company what they wanted, and why they made fo much noife and confufion? Jones faid, they wanted to know where they were going. The admiral afked if they had ever before been made to know where they were going? Joves said no. The admiral then faid, they had better be quiet, not to be obftreperous, as they would gain nothing by it: he faid he did not know himself where he was going-he was ordered to fea on a cruife, and muft obey his orders; that it was enough when he called all hands, and then he hoped they would go with good will. Many cried, no, no-we will not go from the land-we will go to England. Fitzgerald and Jones joined in this cry. From the it to the Toth this mutinous conduct was continued, and a letter was written to the admiral, Itating their determination not to go on any new fervice, or, as they termed it, out of the land Oa Thursday the 13th the feveral ring-leaders (viz. thofe on trial) were taken into custody, and removed into another fhip. On the fourth and fifth days of trial, the court was occupied in hearing the defence of the pri foners. Each delivered in a paper, in which was ftated the plea of long and gallant fervices, and enumerating their most difaftrous chances by flood and field-the numerous battles and the lieges they had won, and their general good conduct and fubordination, until the then unhappy occurrence they anxiously disavowed any intention of vio lence lence against the perfons of their officers, and the part of the profecution, and detailed all the Edward Evans, examined by Mr. folicito On the fixth day the decifion of the court was general. I was a foldier in the garrifon at Go read, adjudging all the prifoners to be hanged, ree in the year 1782. I was orderly ferjeant on except White, fentenced to receive 200 lashes. the 10th and the 11th of July 1782. I attend The awful fate of these unhappy and milguided on the perfon of the governor. On the fut ed men being thus announced to them, Collins faid, Permit me to return my fincere thanks to the court for the patience and indulgence shewn me. I acknowledge the juftice of my fentence. I have violated the laws of my country, and the difcipline of the navy; but ! declare to Almighty God that the intention of murder never entered 'my head. I folemnly call God to witness this declaration, and truit to the truth of it all my hopes of pardon in the other worid., May God protect the British ifles, and the government! and may God receive my foul ! At thefe words all the other prisoners devoutly exclaimed amen. This Taft fentiment was worthy of British feamen, and proves that however partial infubordination may arife in our fleets, it can never afAft the views, or justify the hopes of an enemy; and we are confident, that if the goo1 of the fer wice will admit of mercy being extended to the unhappy offenders, fuch an expreffion of loyalty and attachment to their country will have its due weight with their fovereign. 21] Thurday the court martial re-affembled, when the following prifoners were put upon their trial, viz. Jo Allen Edward Taylor George Comayne George Dixon James R lev Thos. S mmons, When after a trial which lafted till Saturday, the following fentence was pronounced: The pr foners were put to the bar, and the judge advocate, in the lane form as upon the Saft trial, read the fentence, declaring Allen, Tylor, Dixon, Riley, and Simmons guilty of the charges against them, and awarded judgment af de-th, and Comayne in part guilty, and or. Bered him to receive 200 1ishes. OLD BAILEY.-SPECIAL COMMISSION. WEDNESDAY-JAN. 20. Jofeph Wall, efq. was brought to the bar and arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with the wilful murder of Benj. Armstrong, at Goree in Atrica, by caufing him to be whipped by a rope in a manner fa cruel, that he died in four days terwards, viz. That the whipping took place on the 16 h of July, 1782, of which the party died on the 20th of the fame month. At the commencement of the trial, the prifoner fai1, he was hard of hearing, and requested he might be allowed to fit by his counfel. The chief biron of the exchequer, (chief jaftice in the commiffion) with whom appeared ho. juftice Rocke and Mr. justice Lawrence, faid 10 the prifoner, * that is perfc&ly impossible→ there is a regular place appainted by law for perfons in your fituation--we can make no diftinétion of the fort you defire, that would be invidi The attorney general then opened the cafe on of July 1782, in the morning, I obferved et rightly, by the governor, to call the men together as they were, that is without arms they obeyed directly. Several officers were infide of a ring on the parade. The governor was the infide of the circle. There was within the circle a carriage of a fix-pounder. I heard the governor call B. Armstrong out of the ranks. He came out he was tied to the carriage of the cannon. Governor Wall ordered him to ftrip he was tied fo the gun carriage he was then Angged by a black man, by order of governor Wall-there were five or fix perfons employed in Angging him-they changed hands the fame a the drummers do; I cannot tell how often, but as well as I can recollect, they gave each 25 lathes-1 do not recollect how many lathes fre received, but a great many —It was inflicted with This witnefs was corroborated in every matestal part, and all appearance of muriny either by Bejamin Armitrong or any one of the men, was erfly denied by a number of witneffes. The prifoner in his defence, endeavoured to prove by a variety of witneffes, that at the time Amarong was punished, a mutiny had broke sut in the colony, and brought forward a num ber of gentlemen of the first respectability as to his character. in 1 The evidence on both fides being finished, the la chief baron addreffed the jury, who, after couting for three quarters of an hour, brought 1 verdi-guilty. Sentence of death was paffend at 1 at night the court adjourned. Mr. Will heard the verdict and the awful fentence of the law pronounced with a calm refignation, betraying no emotion of either agitation DUBLI DUEL. N. The following is the official account of the affair of honour between Mr. Ogle and Mr. Cile. Piger, No. 1. ftates the original transaction carding to Mr. Ogle's recollection, who had the paruculars taken down in writing after his return from the exchange, and although Mr. Caple's recolle on varied from it, he was inanted to concede that it was likely that the recall-ction of Mr. Ogle who uttered the words, and foon after had them committed to paper, Awald be more accurate; and more particularly Mr. Ogle's recollection agreed with that of hether gentleman prefent at the exchange, who whole down the words in faid paper, in c nfequence of which Mr. Ogle fent a challenge to Mr. Coyle, which was accepted, and the parties met this day (Saturday) at twelve o'clock at ColdWow-lane. George King, efq was fecond to Mr. Ogle-Edward Lysaght, efq. to Mr. Coyle. Four shots were fired by each on the ground. All stempts at reconciliation on the part of Mr. Cyle's fecond proving ineffectual, the principals we about to proceed, when Mr. Ambrose Mite, who was near the ground, called on Mr. John C. Berd, afking was there no means of evening: nief? this induced a conversation which Mr. Beresford (who had read the paper Net the evening before) perceived there was a Gfference of opinion be ween the parties, refping the words that paffed. In consequence of Wich Mr. Bere:ford addreffed Mr. Coyle's fetd, and told him, that from a conversation had Sweta har (dr. E.) and Mr. Moore, he was obink there was a mifunderstanding of the that piffed, which if explained, might Ital to a reconciliation, for Mr. Moore, added Mt. Eeresford, has told me, that Mr Coyle fuptes Mr. Ogic ref Cted on the catholic-body at large, and Mr. B. was convinced he only alluded to rebels. That there was a paper in the field written at the time the tranfaction took place, and that if he would read a part of that papers to Mr. C. he would better understand the grounds on which he was called out by Mr. O. Mr. Lylaght faid, it was the first time he had heard of any fuch paper, and that Mr. Coyle had reprefented to him that Mr. Ugle had made the reflection on the catholic body at lange, and that Mr. Coyle, under fuch impreifion, directed Mr. Lysaght to receive the mfl-age, and to appoint time and place, in confequence of which no explanation was propofed on either fide, until the interference of Mr. Beresford. Mr. Lyfaght then read from the paper No. 1. the following words: Migle replied, fir, I was (peaking of rebels, and do not difavow the words. Some further converfation and expla nation being had between Mr. Lyfaght, Mr. Coyle and Mr. Beresford, in which Mr. Beresford faid, Mr. Ogle avowed the paper No. 1. from which the above recital was extracted, Mr. Beresford, under the direction of Mr. Lyfaght, wrote down the following words, viz. A paper being read to Mr. Coyle, ftating the tranfiction, Coyle faid, fir, I conceived you spoke of the catholic body at large, I now find I milunderstood you, and I apologize to you which paper Mr. Coyle read, addreflidg himself to Mr. Ogle in the prefence of a confiderable number of perfons whembled on the ground. Previous to the conclufion of the above settlement, judge Chamberlain entered the field, and commanded the peace, and the principals and seconds to attend at his house, to enter into recognizences: but Mr. Lyfaght declared, on the part of Mr. Coyle, that this circumftance hould not prevent the explanation. Paper (No. 1.) alluded to in the foregoing. Mr. B. Coyle, merchant, Linen-hall-street, approached Mr. Ogle in the hall of the royal exchange with a penciled paper in his hand, with the following words infcribed thereon: • A papilt would fallow an oath as easily as I would a poachedegg." Mr. B. Coyle turned to Mr. Ogle, and jaid, fir I am a Roman catholic, and of that perfuafion did you say fo?" Mr. Ogle replied, fir I was speaking of rebels, and do not difavor the words Mr. B. Coyle then said, for your conduct was ungentleman like, unbecoming a man, and a chriftian.' These are the words and the excumstances. EDW. LYSAGHT. GEORGE KING. 29th Light Dragoons. The above are the circumftonces as far as I was concerned. Dublin, 16 Jan. 1802. J. C. BERESFORD. GENERAL QUARTER ASSEMBLY. FRIDAY, JANUARY 22. proceeding through the ufus routine bulintis, it Sir John Ferns, and John Cafh, efq. were, af texwards appointes mafters of the city works. Mr. Mr. Kelly dwelt fome short time on the ne. ceffity of having more commodious apartments and better fituated for a Tholfel, and offering refolutions to that effect. Mr. Giffard rose and said, that among the great variety of obligations the inhabitants of this city owed to its prefent worthy reprefentatives, the honour of whose attendance in this affembly he was proud to recognize, perhaps their kind and polite attention to the accommodation of this corporation could not be ranked among the leaft. He was authorized to fuggeft, that thefe gentlemen, ever anxions to anticipate all occafions of performing eminent acts of public service, had it in contemplation to folcit the imperial legiflature for apartments in the parliament houfe; and from the marked liberality, loyalty, and zeal of the citizens of Dublin, in times of public danger, when, even in a deranged state of their finances, they followed up the use of their perfons with the application of their purfes to recruit the army and navy, fo ardent in the act of protecting us, he conceived their petition would come before the imperial houfe with the acknowledged au horiy of a claim, particularly when urged by gentlemen who conciliated the favour of their fellow members by their virtues, their well kwn loyalty, and public fpirit, as decidedly as they do the partiality of every loyal and well affected fubject in this country, not to mention their conftituents, with whose interefts they are more immediately concerned. He would, therefore, from there confiderations, request the hon. gentleman to withdraw his motion, and wait the refult of that application, which was intended to be made for their mutual convenience and accommodation. Mr. Kelly accordingly withdrew the refolutions he was about prefenting. Several petitions and orders from the upper affembly were in the act of pafling the commons, when, Mr. Shaw took occafion to advance the claims of Mr. John Latouche, jun. as a reprefentative in the imperial parliament for this city, on the ftrength of the benevolence, loyalty and patrotifm of his refpectable family, added to his own perfonal merits. He therefore moved a refolution in fubftance that the thanks of this corpora tion be given to John Latouche, efq ju. ftating him to be a proper perfon to reprefent this city in parliament, when Mr. Archer moved an amendment, purporting, that after the words, That the thanks of this corporation be given,' be inferted, to the right hon. George Ogie, and J. C. Beresford, etq. for their heady, upright conduct as reprefentatives of this city in parliament and for the facred and confcientious ditcharge of the public truft repofed in them, as well as their uniformly perfo vering attachment to the interefts and immunities of their constituents and flow citizens.' Mr. Arthur Guinness, jun. objected to the informality of this motion as well as to the principle of it. He faid, an amendment to another moti on fhould not partake of all the properties of an original one, as this evidently did. It was repug Bant to common fenfe, as he conceived it was to the true interests of the country. He was followed by Mr. Binns, who concurred as to the abfurdi. ty of fuch amendment, and urged his opinion, that a delay of a few hours would probably give greater fcope to the difcuffion of the principles of this motion, as well as to the order of it, by the opportunity of a fuller houfe, and the acceffion of more friends to their country's caufe. Mr. Giffard urged, that it was immaterial whether the principles of this question were difcuffed under the head of an amendment, or an original motion; that it had all the conftituent parts of an amendment he was bold to affert-it was in fact fubftituting what ought to be, for what ought nor. There was no one confideration but the fafety and tranquility of the country, which he confidered involved by the irritating tratagems of oppofition ufed against their tried friends, the prefent representatives of this city, would induce him to raise his voice in oppofition to any gentleman of a family, whofe public and private virtues, whofe loyalty and extenfive benevolence, he was as willing as any man to admit and as ardent as any man in paying deference to, but public gratitude for public favours to those who have fo eminently conferred them on their country, as the gentlemen which are the subjects of the amendment in debate, was a principal he would cherish and adhere to while he had life.Indeed the abfurdity of affecting to foilt any men into a place, where there was no vacancy, is too glaring for refutation. This city is fully reprefented, it will and ought to continue fo by its prefent members; they have well earned by their conduct in both fenate and field, a kind of prefcriptive proverty in the affections and attachment of their conflituents, who can never from any finifter motives withdraw them without betraying a fottish infenfibility to their own inte relts, and an abandoned dereliction of all gratitude, honour and principle. The perfonal virtues of Mr. Latouche he would unequivocally take or refer to one luminous trait in his character-he was proud to bear testimony, no braver fold er ever drew a fword ;' he was therefore concerned, that he was placed in a predicament where it was impoffible to gratify his wishes, without making an irredeemable facrifice of his country. Mr. Kelly chiefly recapitulated the argumen's he fed in the guild of merchants in favour of Mr. Ogle and Mr. Beresford. He ridiculed the idea of attempting to divorce two legiflators from their country, with whofe interefts and fafety they feemed to be indiffolubly united. For the family of Mr. Latouche he entertained as high reípect as the most lavish of their panegyrifts, but that fentiment should not bind him to a conduct adverfe as he conceived to his country, profperity, and, for that reafon alone, repugnant to his own feelings. After fome defultory converfation, a ballot was loudly called for, when there appeared, For the amendment во For the original motion 40 Majority 20. Died, early this morning, (Jan. 28) after a lingering and painful illnels, at his houle, Elyplace, the right hon. John Fiz,ibbon, earl of Clare, lord high chancellor of heland.
