During the argument of the lawyers, the wretched prifoner was feized with violent emotions, fuch as the drawing up of his fhoulders, frothing at the mouth, &c. and shortly afterwards fell down and expired on the spot.

Howe) was very ill, and confined with the gout, fo that it was impoffible for him to attend as profecutor on the prefent occafion. The court was cleared, in order that it might be determined whether it was proper that fir Roger Curtis fhould reprefent lord Howe on the trial; and the decifion of the court was in the affirmative. The court then proceeded to the examination of witneffes. On the 15th of May the courtmarthal finished; when the judgeadvocate read a paper, which ftated the purpose for which the court-martial was called, the cir cumftances cunftances which caufed it, the names of the members, and the charges which they had to try. The first charge was, that captain Molloy, of his majefty's thip Caefar, did not on the 29th of May, 1794, crofs the enemy's line, in obedience to the fignal of the admiral-the fecond, that on the firft of June he had not used his utmoft endeavours to close with and defeat the enemy. THE SENTENCE. The court having heard the evidence on the part of the profecution, and that on behalf of captain Molloy, and having duly weighed and confidered the fame, "Is of opinion, that the charges have been proved againft captain Anthony James Pye Molloy; but that, as it appears to the court that in the actions of the 29th of May, and the 1ft of June, as well as on many former occafions, his perfonal courage has been unimpeachable, they do adjudge him to be difmiffed from the command of his majefty's fhip Cæfar," or admiral's cabin, and caught fomething combuftible, or from the funnel of the admiral's cabin having been on fire, and communicated to the deck.

Fortunately, the greateft part of the powder had been fent on thore three days before, and, upon the firft alarm, the cock was turned upon the grand magazine. The fore and aft hanging magazines contained but little powder; the former exploded with very little effect. When the fire broke out there was a fresh breeze at S. W. and it being tide of ebb, the fhips were riding with their fterns to the wind. Within half an hour after the commencement of the fire, the tops and all the rigging were in a blaze. About twelve the tide turned, and the pofition of the fhips became changed, but it was then too late to make any attempt, or even for boats to get near her. Previous to this, however, from the number of boats that went inftantly to their afliftance, it is hoped that moft of the crew were faved; though, from the rapidity of the flames, it is feared that fome of them must have perished. All her guns were loaded, and as they became heated they went. off, the hot falling amongst the fhipping, and fome of them even reached the thore, but without, it is hoped, having done any damage.
