It clearly appeared on the trial, that the pri soner was born in London—was a volunteer in the service—had been some years in h. ms. I Leopard, but last in the Halifax. Tlifit, on the i 7th oi March last, the ship being then in Karnp : ton Roads, the prisoner was sent with four other men, under a petty officer,- in a jolly boat, to weigh a hedge anchor ; when, tailing advan tage of the dusk of the evening, the men muti nied upon the officer, and some of them threat ened to murder him ; but the rest interfering, they desisted—acd landing at ScwoU’s point, the five made their escape, A few days after, the deserters were seen parading the streets of Norfolk, in triumph, under the American flag. —-One of them, H. Saunders, being accosted by Lord Townsend, asserted that ! e had no in tention of deserting, but was compelled byl the others ; and would embrace the first opportu nity to return on boa and At that moment the prisoner, Jtmv.r. Ratford.took the arm of Slum dors, declaring that neither he nor any’ of the others should return to the ship—with a con temptuous gesture, asserted—that they were then in the land of liberty, and insla it'ly dragged Saunders away.* That the prisoner had enter ed on board jthe Chesapeake—-had proceeded to soa in her—and had been found on board that ship, after the action (by an officer of n. k. s. Leopard) hid in the coal-hole, A variety of other circumstances were de veloped in the course of the evidence—The whole cf which tended to prove, that although t deserters from the American naval or military 1 establishments hud been readily given up by , k. M, ships on the station ; yet, on the other I hand, they had ever been refused i>y r the Ame ricans, when demanded by British officers. Two men had entered on board u. n s.

We regret, however, ihat the legis lature did not, when they had this beneficent act under discussion, direct some mode where by the citizens at large could be generally in formed whether they were among the fortu nate drawers ; (and not leave so much to chance) which,,might prevent many sacrifices and many frauds being practised upon them by speculators, .as a large number cf-lhe-puzea are of considerable value. fdnsiAtr, A ■/terrier 18. i v trig Nancy, C"pt.
