COMMODORE ELLIQTT.
A statement has fo'cii published in the Alexandria
Gazette, th.it Cnniinndore Elliott has, in the pend
ing inquiry, endeavored to uyiijl himself of technical
grounds, to avoid mi ciifpiirv into his conduct. Thu
following is 11 copy of the paper presented by Com.
Elliott to the Court.
“ Tho precept coiivenning tljo Court of Enquiry

specific, complaint* tpul charges prefi’vretl nml exhi
bited against Captain Jesse I). Elliott, which tiro
set fourth, ‘and also to ein/nirc into H,coJ)io.ialcon

while commanding the Fluted {stales ftaval forces
in the Mediterranean Sea in the yrwr,lfi85, 183G,
1837, 1838. The letter of the Secretary of the Na
vy, oft lie 22d April, 1039, extends this enquiry
'his conduct while commanding tho Constitution in
llunti.ton Ronds.’
" With great respect fur tho authority from which
the order organizing the Court einmiutuil^ mid a pro
per diffidence in his own judgement, Cupt. Elliott
states thnt this general form el* enquiry is not in ac
cordance with precedent or uutliority; but he dis
tinctly waives the objection lljoretu, and desires
that every ground of complaint may ho fully inquired
into. In order however, toprepare for his defence^ lie
requests 4 specification of tin* charges nial complaints
intended to be exhibited uial preferred against him,
major tho general cnoso above quoted, as wpll as
the nipqcs of the licensors (if any) und of the witnes
ses intended to bo resiwctivoly oxantined ujkwi said
cliarges.”
When the pajior was presented the Judge Advo-
cate stated that he could not give any specification
of tho charges. Tlpit it wus a general enquiry into
the official conduct of Com. Elliott, und tliut every
ground of complaint must be enquired into, as it
should lie elicited from tho witnesses in the course
of examination. The Court then said that if the
Judge Advocate would comply with tho request of
Com. Elliott, it wouid be u grout conveiiicnCo to all
concerned, mid promote economy of liotli time and
expense; but as the Judge Advooutocould not,front
the iiatqro of the inquiiv, comply with the request,
the Court would give Com. Elliot* ample limy to
prepare for hi* defence. The President of the Court
wished Coin. Elliott to tile tho tilst paitof tlioabove
paper relative to the fiitm of enquiry, in order that
the attention of the Navy Department might lie call-
Vd to its peculiar character; but Com. Elliott fear
ing that the nature of the paper might he misunder
stood if hut u part of it were published, declined,
aud ut the suggestion of the Court, with the con
currence of the J uclgc Advoca’te, the whole paper
was withdrawn.
So far is this clinrg^ frotq being well founded,
Com. Elliott wished Ins whole life to he enquired
into, and hiul in attendance upon the Court, witnes
ses summoned at his request to give testimony rv-
lativcto the affiiir of Lake Erin, ‘which tho Court
discharged on the ground that ull matter was pre
cluded .which was not distinctly referred to in the
order of tlic,Dcpnrtmcnt convening llie Court.
It may Ini proper to suite that nil Courts of In
quiry heretofore hqvo been called to inquire into tbe
conduct of the nccuscd on n particular occasion;
and into n specilc and insulated transaction, sqch os
Utc loss of q ship—the failure of an expedition; and
that there is no instance ot an inquiry like this of
Com. Elliott, which is inquisitorial—into his whole
conduct during a cruise of four years, and search
ing into nil his rdntions, public and private. To all
which, Com. Elliott makes lo objection, and has
no apprehension as to tlie event.

nnd from the remains found therein lie was led to
bcliovo it to Im tho “ Aculduniii, or Field of Blood,"
purchased w ith tho 30 pieces of silver returned by
Judas to the Jewish priests! Thu doorway of this
tomb was of a mixed architecture, tlio pillar* nnd
pediment being Grecian; the floral embellishments
011 tlm architrave Hebrew, nnd die door itself solid
stone j bung on horizontal binge*. Inside it wns a
lurgo chamber hewn of tho solid rock, each having
smaller crypts in each of the fhroo sides, in nil of
which huntun remains wen; found. 'The skulls
which ho exhibited, were of natioa* who never in-

Tlio skulls belonged to thn Mongolian. EibiopiRii,
or tiro mixed rices; ttyo of them on the authority
of Dr. Pritchard, were of Turkish origin, onn an
African, probably n negro Mozambique. The tqnjb
was accidentally discovered by tin Arab, of tiro vil
