GENERAL WILKINSON.
The court martial lor (be trial of genera
Wilkinson being a matter of considerable ge
ncrai interest, aod it* recent and prclimmar
proceedings having exci’bd much curiosity
we have taken much pains to obtain informs
tion of it* progress. The following may I
relied oo:
Tho court convened on the 16th inst.
Troy. Beforo the members were sworn, gerj
eral Wilkinson appeared before them,
was requested by the president to state wild
titer he had any objections to tbe men.be>]
composing the court, or any of them ;
which the general it plied, that he was w«
satisfied wi.h the court, and should make i
objections to any of ihe members—they wei
accordingly sworn. The president then call*
on the army judge advocate, and also the ap
cial judge advocate to take the oaili presciifa
by the articles of war. M. V. Buret), ciJ
then presented to the court his appointor,ei|
from the secretary at war, of special judge as
voca'c lor the trial cf general Wilkinson, tl
copy ol a letter to the general announcing
him the appointment, and also the copy
letter Irom the adjutant and inspector gonel
al to E. A. Bancker, esq. army judge advocnil
apprising him of the appointment of Mr
Buien, aud directing him to advise with
assist Mr. V. Burenin the trial. Tho al
documents having been read, general W>l
son read his objections to Mr, V Burerj
conducting the prosecution, founded on
genctal ground that ihe president h.d no i
thority to appoint a special judge advocate,
to depute any other person to act as socl
He attempted to support his objections by |
reference to the vanoos acts of congr«4
which have been passed on tbe subject, and i
deavnred to show that tbe previous exercisl
of this power was not warranted by law.
Having finished the reading of his objectiotl
Mr. Van Buren stated, that the question st
mined by the accused, was, as it lespectl
him (Mr. Van Buren) one of peculiar deli<f
cy. That the station for which he had
seleced by the president, was nut of hi».re*|
ing ; but one he had felt hitnaeii bound <•,
cept, and the duties of which he was ptepail
to discharge. That the vety nature of thef
duties precluded in his judgment the propti

he claimed to act, competent for him, a
bindirg on tbe court. That !t was for ihd
to decide hciv far they had a right to arrail
the conduct of the gorerntnont on the subjel
and to deede on the legality of the course whf
had been adopted That the responsibility!

Af er some pertinent rematks from (he |
my judge advocaie on the subject, the i
was cleaied, and alter being closed some til
adjourned until the next morning ; when frJ
ihe rcsdtng of he minutes, it appeared,
two questions had occupied their attention, ■
1. Whether it was competent for them to I
cide on the validity of the appointment of I
special judge advocate.
2. If hey had tho authority, whether the I
au horised such an appointment.
That they had decided the first in tbe al|
mative, and the second in the negative;
that they 'hereupon refused permission tu ]
Van Buren to conduct the prosecution agad
general Wilkinson, in behalf of the Uni]
States.
It further appeared (hat tbe army __
vocate, Mr. Bancker, had thereupon's'atcd
the court, tha' ho knew that >• was not i
templated by government, that the p-
of the trial should devolve on h>rr. ; tha-]
should therefore decline proceed] t . in
trial, unless directed by ibe court so to
and that such direction was given.
General Wilkinson was then arraigned, I
af'er making objection to tbe charges, wf
was over ruled, pleaded not guil'y, and t he ciJ
adjoured to the next dsy.—dlbany Hr gut.
UNITED STATES’BRIG ARGUS, |
CAPTAIN ALLEN.
An American official account < f the at
between the United States’ brig Argus, cap!
Allen, and the British brig Pelican, has r
er yet been published. We have undent'
and we believe from a correct source, thi
most imnortant facts relative to the captu:
the Argus have naver appeared before
public, because the senior officer of that
sel remains a prisoner of war in Kaglaodi
the mean time, we lay before our readers
following statement, which, we are credj
informed, is told by an officer of the Argus, 1
at (we believe) New York ••
After tbe battle had raged for some
and when it was momently expected, from
shattered situation, that the Pelican would
render, the British frigate —— hove in si
close aboard—soon after, she common
heavy fire upon the Argus, who, quitting
Pelican engaged the frigate ; but her erip|
state precluded the possibility of conter
with the least hope of escape—she accord
surrendered to the frigate ; and tbe
