TheCharge, ; in mortification and dirgust, retired from the city, ond taking advantage of an opporcune special mission to Paraguay, there conceaies and digested his shame- ful defeat. In the mea: time, however, the guachos were true to their chief, .od abut the beginning of December, 1852, the remi-barbariang from the upper der General Urquiza, } 80, it is not likely tbat 1, or any officer of the navy, | would bave submitted to so imperious aa iaterfe- | | rence with the discipline of a ship; but, Neos | | Inyeelf with toe yearons | hud before assig: I ‘chjected to that, as Mr. Walker says, onthe | ground that I would not expose my boats or offi- cers. | Mr. Pendleton then commissioned Canfield to ob- | taln provisions for the Legation, and- though he | w,as his own evidence shows, of my arrange- | ment with Sinclair—tor the Jamestown also, | Mr, Walker, being on shore shorty after, learned | that somebody was obtainiug provisions in the name of the Jamestowd, at the Barracas. Kay wing tat Sincla‘r’s pass was for Palermo, Mr. Walker | reporied what he had teard tome. Lat oace di- ted him to go to the Barracas and promptly disavow any convection between the Jamestown and this transaction. When Mr. Walker a-rived there be was shown, much to bis astonishm-nt, a document, under the consular seal of the United States, Great peerage for te Jamestown, and learned that this honest transaction had been car- ried on with tbe sanction of, una was effected by, the Hon. Mr. Pendleton. Mr. Walker, in the name of his captain, repudiatd the woole affair, and it * Wae 60 stopped. On that same evening Commodore Coe addressed me on the subje t of frauds in the supplying of pro- | Visions, which letter I answered the vext day, toll- ing the Commodore whut hud previously been done. Copies of this correspondence were sent to Mr. | Pendleton, who at ome, in my boat, weat to the Barracns, where he told Mr. McIntosh he wished a lone boat sent for him to return in. lee let usj;ause a momont. The Court have | already had theie attention called to the false con- struction Mr, Perdleton has endeavored to place Bpon this correspovdence, haviag before him, a6 the very time, the eviéence which exhibits the at- tempt in its true light. Bat the same g tried t» convince the Court that it was a very | suspicious circumstance that I should send to Bar Tacas,and not to Pulermo, on the subject. We bave seen that Mr. Walker was sent to Barracas before Commodore Cve’s letter was received; bat | Mr. Pendleton did what he falsely a:oused me of doing, aud what he seemed to think such @ terrible crime. When this corresponaence was laid before him he instantly, bimse.f, weat to Barracas, | and not to Palermo. If there was oothing in the correspondence to jnstify me in sending to the Bar- racas, which I did not douvon it, could there have been anything to justify Mr. Pendlcton’s going | there? Is not a guilty consciousness of where the fraud really was t'ic only explanation left us? Well, | Mr. Pendleton got to tue Barracas and foand that | Canfield & Co.'s little s eculation had been summa- rily ended. The next day ne received from me this note:— | Sin—I consider it highly inexpedient to send a heavy | ‘boat from this ebip to the Barraces, and have declined to do eo for reasons and causes whieh are strength from | experience. I have directed that 9 baat mould be country besieged Buenos Ayres, and demanded the expulsion of the acting suvhorities, Urquiza also managed to raise a small .aval force to blockade the river front cf the city. How this force was qnised we do not know; pernaps some of the Brazilian subdeidy went for the purpose—perhaps some of the pilisge of the plantations. We know that in the cause ot one of steamers—the Utah, or Constitu- cion—the General did bis best to get her without aying for her—io other words, to steal her. The city Bag hard pressed by lana and water, the inhabit- anata slinost starving, and t e blockade strictly en- forced, Mr. Pendleton thonght that the star of his friend Urquiga was agi in the ascendaat, and, bringing his missionto Parusuay tw a sndden close, he barried back to Buenos Ayres. His mortification at Urquiea’s overthrow had, however, rankled in bis boeora until he forgot that he was a on lomatic represertative from # foreign and neuter Vel ond he ouly thought and felt as a friend and parti- san of the besieging General. His position at the time cannot be better described than by hia friond and colleague, Mr. 8 henck, who certainly has not € ated the tale. That gentleman tells us, on his s-examinetion:—‘' Mr. Pendleton was de- cidevly of opinion that Gevera! Urquiza was the ‘tional head of toe Argeatine Confedera- ithat the city of Buenos Ayres wasin a state of secession or rebellion from the legi- timate authority. Mr. Pendleton,” he con- tinue, “was a man of ardent tem er and quick mind, and was accustomed to exp-eas himself strongiy and freely; this gave him, | think, a repu- tation the friends of the inside party as a partisan of Urquizs.” He gave, too, even stronger proots than mere words. The court bave it in evi- dexce before them that, tothe knowledge of Mr. Walker, Mr. Pendleton was in the habit of acting as Urquiza’s channel of communication with his parti- vans inside the city. Untortunately Mr. Schenck, yielding, aa he gives us to understand, to what he conceived tobe Mr. Pendleton's better knowledge and judgment concerning a country where that gen- tleman wos the local diplomatic agent, followed his lead, and from that instant they both stood in a false position—<nly looking at one side of the question, only bearing one-half the i:.telligence which, as akil- ful dtplomatists, they snould have wholly command- ed. Frcm that moment every prediction they made was falsified, every an icypatim the bad failed. It would be an inatractive lesson to diplomatists to read these gentlemen's despatches home, and then com: | pare them with the actual occurrences at Buenos Ayres. Meanwhile, baving been lett by Commodore Mc- Keever in command of the statioa, I was lying with the Jamestown off Buenos Ayres, some six or eight miles from the shore, or rather tcom the markets. I was aick, conined to the herd Pendleton, who was then easing, at least, civil a quaintance with me, Re “fit oe ', oe hourly, dependence on me fur favors of all kinds an characters, as his letters on record before this court show, snd who to my own resources, finding, 1 May, 1853, that the fall and winter of that hemispiere was approach- ing, that my boat’s crew were exposed to much wconvenience, beyond that caused by the weather, inftheir exped {tious after provisions—one boat's crew and ¢ffi-ers having, a» the Court has heard, been | taken prisoners on such duty, and marched up the country, and another boat having been totally wrecked— my officers and men to such dan, |, but would en- tue ship wita sh provisions by | # was Datural and proper, I applied | to the commander of the blockading squairon for permission for & boat t> go back wards ana forwards, which Admiral Coe granted ; assenting also that the American residents in the city might be supplied | frcm the Jamestown.

Mr. Pend'eton, however. had a | long grudge to settle with me. I had declined | to take apy more refugees on board after 1 discovered the dangerous sharacter of thosa Mr. Pendleton first sent off. I had evinesd some disinclivation that Mr. Pendleton should give bis friends an entertainment on board my ahi where he had never thought me worthy the civi | attention of a visit; finally, I had interfered with | the quiet little business arrangement of Canfield & | Co. ‘‘Now,” aaid Mr. Pendleton, “I'll crash him; (Ui exterminate the Captain with a letter.” The Cowt have seen Mr. Pen leton get ‘‘wrathy” at me—they have heard somothing of the beautiful | expletives with which ho is wont to enrich, his con versation, and @an imagine his condition wher con cocting that famous letter of the 4th of Jane, 1853 Why, his merely reading it bere was-@ sight which almost ‘compensated for the discomforts of a.ther- mometer at 102 degs.

Cap any one doubt, after this, what Coe’s fate would have been with Urquiza? Coe, as Mr. De- haven understood, did not wish to go over to the ia- side party himself, and knowing that it was death to go to Urquiza, he bad no resource but to resume his Rative allegiance, and to invoke the protection of the flag ot h’s native country. He went oo bosrd an American man of war for protection, and from ter be went in an American schooner to Montevideo, whore, for the present, we will leave him. The blockade was now broken up, and Urquiza, as I was ieliably informe i, on the point of destru.- tion. The presence of the Jamestown was no loag- er necessary at Buenos Ayres. It is true that the American diplomatists looked upon Urquiza’s sita- rent light, but they were deceived in this by the false position in which they had placed themselves. They ovly heard what the outside party chose to tell them, for the Buenos Ayreans were not likely to tell anything to -avowed enemies. While they were writing home, and anticipating. Urquiza’s triumphant su cess, I wrote my despatcn of 30th June, 1853, in which I predicted that if Ur- jniza cecaped witb his life at all, i¢ would be as a itive. On the 12th of July he barely escaped, a fugitive for his life, acd was received on board tho Water Witch, through his fiend, Mr. Pendleton’s exertions. The Jamestown needed caulking, and the universal opinion of her offi. era was, that this could not be done short of Rio, except in the very imperfect way which had beon effected in the open roadstead of Buenos Ayres. It is true Commodore McKeever thinks otherwise; but the log of the James- town will show that she, at the very same time, in the year before, was exposed for six consecutive days to t danger from a@ continued gale; the logs of the Congress, the Comm dore’s own ship, must tell the same tale; aud it has beea proved here that there was not an average of two calm days ia as many months. The draught of the Jamestown ‘was too great to take her into the repairing harbor at Montevideo, and on the 2d of July, 1553, she ow: what wee, my position, in regard to Cos? low, what was my positi re; 10 Coe Thad heard from Mr. Pendleton, in a somowhat of- fensive letter, wherein he resely declined to ad- vise me, that the Jamestown had been called a/ca- huete for taking Coe on board; but I kaew that she bad pimped to Mr. Pendieton’s friends, as long as I would allow it, without a word of-caation from him; aud I knew perfectly weil that Mr. Pendletoa was the mere mouthpiece of Urquiza. I knew, also, that romors had been afloat on shore accus'ng Coe of being bribed. On the other haadfI could traco | these rumors to no respectable source—Mr. Pendle. ton being the universal authority—and I knew that Coe. bad neither brought or builion off with him, nor negotiated any bills while wiih nfe, and the coin at least was snfficicotly weighty and bulky to have attracted my attention, and to have been put in evidence before this court had there been any trace of it. Why, in all the evidence before this court now,.not one | single witncas bas brought anything home to Coe; the squadron—Other officers are mentioned as known to be in of money; he never. Wo are even told that he could not go ashore at Buenos Ayres after the affair, because he could not pay his | creditors. No jury in the land could convict C will not conaider that lotter ia detail. It will be | him of bribery on’ this, or sey that ho was & medio better for the transaction. Still my situation was one requiring caution, and I was very glad to be rid of the man, who, it was { understood, intended to to Rioin tho English | steamer and thence to the United States. There has ‘been a most disingonuous attempt to insinuate that Thad allalong intended to pick Coe up again at Montevideo. It is, to some extent, a descendiag to show that this was not the case; but asthe char; has been made by Mr. Schenck, his name entitles it to some consideration. To show the waat of foundstion for th 8 charge, we have, first, my word | in my letter to Mr. Pendleton, of 24th Tune, 1853, at least of equal weight with Mr. Schenck’s sus picion. Second, the fact tbat Coe took his passage, and endeavored to go to Rio in the English steam- boasted, in the hearing of Lient. Ha'l, that he hed es aped from Coe with shotted guns axd ned for | | a fight; on the 20th, Dr. Horner was on board the Correo, and heard that the erew were much dissa- | | tisfled with Urquiza, Who had got paid them and | | had farnished them with no hea, threatening | | them with a battation of infantry. All these things | | were reported to me, I being then | the ship. Towards cvoning on the tho block. | or A went over; and while the occurrence | was taking place Coe seat an officer to the James- | town, who told both me and Mr. Adams tuat the | crew of the Correo bad overthrown Coo’s aathority, | | and he asked an as)lum on board my ship. Neither | I nor my officers—even those who were much on | shore—as the testimony invariably shows, doubted | with extended hands, says Mr. Stembol; because, as | Mr. Walker says, tuey taought him 9 persecuted | man. His very crew confeseed, fo Mr. Walker's hearing, that he was not to blame for their going | over. Am I to be condemned for giving shelter to | @ persen who had been uniformly kina, polite, and courteous to mo, and whom the universal sentiment on board pronounced to be an innocent aad unforta- nate man? Why, ¢ven Measra. Pendleton and | Schenck have ackaowledge’ before this court that, circumatanced as I was, my action waa unexception- able; and that a-knowledgment ison your record. ‘The fo: mer of these gentlemen addressed me a letter on the subject, which, with my answer,you_have before yon, sud which answer they have prongiuced to be pervect! ager ee d = > Subsequently, and while f was sti lying at Buenos.

When { arrived at Moutevideo, and was informed of Coe’s presence, the difficulties to which [ would be Saher at once presented themselve to me, a6 Mr. Cheover bas told yen and on Coe’s application I declined it, as Lieut. McIntosh has re- lated, until Mr. Hamilton's official letter loft mo no ternative. all The justification for this act is, that Coe wae an American citizen, and, as such, cntitled as of right the Consul's certidcate to my protection and aid. Coe, as has appeared in the course of the trial, was an American by birth, and it is perfectly well settled that an American can never, aad uncer n0 circumstances, permanently lose his allegiance but by the consent of the governmert expressed in @ law—the only exceptions being very ated, tem- porary and for purpcses of trade. In II. Kent’s Comm. (old, 1836), p. 49, the Court will find it expressly stated, after # full review of all the decisions, that “ the better optatou seems to be that a eitizen cannot renounce his allegiance to the United States without the permiasion of the Sopegpmacat, to be declared by law;. aud that as ‘Pe is no cxisting logislative on the cae, the the Engin common law romains ts and dutics of allegiance are re- ciprocel. being liable as a traitor if found fighting againtt tho of bis country, was enti- Aled to its protection when claiming it, no matter what his charactor or tho injurious rumora under which he suffered. If it be contended, aa it poe oa ep Coo had acquired a new national cha racter by residence, the answer is ovident. Such a character is only maintained by remaining whoro it has been acquired—animo i—with tho in- tention of remaining, and this auimas is the test. Seo I. Kent, od. 1836, 76 and 78, where itis said, “a national character aired by residence may bo thrown off at pleasure.” It is an advontitious character and ceases by non-residence, or when a pt pean in aaa an fide, ~ qait the i, of returning.

This group of accusations rests wholly and solely o: tbe evidence of Mr. Pendjedon, for without that Mr. Schenck’s testimony for nothiag.

Of the details and actual progress of these negotiations I know cosagpen of my own knowledge, and speak of them a8 rumors of common circulation, and the topio of conversation in every circle in which I associated.” What Mr. Pendleton’s circles were we don’t know; but of theee universally current rumors none of the Jamestown’s officers, thoug constantly on shove, ever heard, €2 ce; ting Mr. Walker, who was told by Mr. Pendieten aimeel if ; and the impression was common to them all, on the 20th of June, that Coe was nota bribed, but “a persecuted man.” Mr. Pendleton says: “I nested Lieutenant McIntosh and Mr. Walker to express to Cap- tain Downing our anxicty that he should copcur and co-operate in the arrangement “we had unanimously agreed on” for provisions. Neither Lieut. McIntosh nor Mr.Walker tells us any- thing of the kind. Mr. Pendleton 3“ Our first impression was that an officer fad had, of course, since we were aware that for four or five months past an officer of the Jamestown had rega- larly at‘evded the market.” Mr. Walker says before this trme he took a mesaage from me to Mr. Pend'eton that an officer should not go. Mr. Pendleton says: ‘(1 requested Lieut. McIn- tosh and Mr. Walker to inform Captain Do: of our arrangement with Centield, and request his ”” Lieut. McIntosh don’t say 80; and Mr. Walker says: “ Dor kneq nothing of the arrangement with Cantie! Iwas sent to the and a him.’ Barracas, and stoppe It is no wonder, with these contradictions, and others I have before ex, , patent on the face of his evicence, that Mr. Pendleton should desire to act both as witness and connsel in the case, and tbhould feel desirous to suggest questions which by the answers they would draw might bolster up what he is pleased to call the “ consistency, impartiality, and -truth” of his own testimony, which he was forced to confess in open court he had done. He felt that his testimony was not credible on its face, and from tum little else was to be expected; bat it does seem desirable,that government, prosecuting, should have sufficient dignity, price, and pro- fessional ability to rebuke such unwarrantabie and scanca)ous interference. If the Court please, this is the end of my defence. any one bere doubt that this tral has been caused by personal malevolence aguiust me? Does any one who bas beard and seem the evidence livered here, sworn for the pr-secution whose hatred to me is so intense that they would leave no stone unturned to effect my destruction, no effort unattempted to ing up, work my ruin? fi My rcliance—firm and faithful—is on the justice of my brother officers.

A trotting match for $400, mile heats, in harness, came off yesterday afternoon, between two horses froth up the North river—one a bay mare, named Lady Hudler, driven by James Whelpley, and a black gelding, called Pedlar, driven by Hiram Woodraff, The mare was the favorite at ten to seven previous to the start, and at two to one after the first heat. The track was in superb condition, and the weather nicely suited for trotting; but the decision of the Judges in the second heat gave great dissatia} faction, and took from the winning herse the race and money. First Heat.—Lady Hudler won the pole. The horses were a long time in getting off, the mare breaking up each time as she came to the score, to the great annoyanve of the spectators. They were tlength started together, the mare drawing out de | conds.

Dsgar Sin--I enclose to you a letter received here from San Felipe, Province of Barquisimeto, giving | fonfowing is a an account of the revolutionary movement in that province in support of the pronunclamento that has taken place in the province of Coro against the Monagas administration. It is generally reported here that Col. Joan Garces, after raising the stand- ard of revolt in Paraguana, and marching upon the city of Coro, has taken it, and is new pursuing his victorious conrse against the cityof Barquiskacto, the capital of the province of that name, by way of | scx the town of Carora, which fies on the road leading to Barquisimeto. I herewith send you @ copy of the pronunciamento of San Felipe. We are expecting every moment to receive a copy of a similar document from Barquisimeto ; it must have been drawn up and published also on tle llth July. It is likewise reported that Comma: dant Castcjon has taken up arms against the govern. ment, and is marching against Barinas. The feel- | g, ing against the government is very great, and alla @ anxiously expecting the arrivsl of Gen. Paer in this Brie Wendole country to head the revolution. You will perceive | &Co. that he bas been appointed General-in-Chief.
