It tvas no oti er than Majjr General Coote ; and it Would on ly be neceflary to read a few lines of the General's affidavit to obtain the dbjeft of the present motion ; but he was extremely desirous the ptfolic should be informed of ivhat had inducrd this truly valuable per funage in WV- fe behalf he then addrelfcd ■ the court, to crave the protection of the court, Gtneral Coote had not on'y ftrved hi 3 country with the h'gheft degree of re putation in the American war, but had also held a difti guifhed command both in the Welt Indies and on the lontinet, during the prefeut contett, and was entrutled by government to conduft the late expedition ag tinft Oftend Notwithllanding the ad- Wjity of the weather, and many concur rent unfortunate circumltances, whieh no prudence could pol&bly fortfee or guard against, the objedt of the expediti tion was molt completely accomplished, though the ; rcturn Of the troops engaged in it to this.country was rendered impossible. A Court Martial had' been demanded by Captain Wiifon of the. Riyal artillery, on tl xrwuduA of Major Armstrong, who .held a command in that expedition, and was granted, to try ni-ijor Armstrong on » charge oi i-nnrwrticeCTl ■Jtfetn'gn ofhs pod ; of which, afier a complete investigation of his. whole c»ndu£t, he wai acquitted. General Coote on this occalion was called Upon, as one ol th fc present, to give hii tetlimony as to the tranfa£t>on, without the smallest interferenfce of hia own, a d aiiua ted by no perianal resentment or the leall degree ot malice againll Major Armstrong, but he c<me there merely as an evidence. Very after Majiir Armstrong was ac quitted he fold his commission and a w|»ole year elapsed before anv thing fur her took place. At the end of that period, major Armstrong sent a letter to General Coote, which he duly received, and which was dearly to the following purport Sir, I i (hould not have been thus long silent ref pefting the at temp to injure my character by a gro undlqfs prolecutian, in which you 1 toak a chief and active part, had I not been particularly employed iu Ireland. A» the | * charges were malicioui in the extreme, and so framed as to deftroymy fortune, repu tation, and honor, I trull that, as an officer and a gentleman, you will not refufc me such an apology as I have a right to ex pert." To this letter the following answer was returned by General Coote :—" I have to acknowledge the receipt of y ur letter. The evidei.ee I gave on trial was upon' oath, ai d according to my. confidence, and of course explains itftlf, without admitting of explanation As to what you charge me with, of taking an a£ti*e part agaiolt you on that rccaQon, it mull have arisen from gtoCs mifi I took no part what* ever in the buliuefs. further than I was ob ig«d to do, if being called on to give my evidence,'" Very soon after this, ma jor rmftrong frnt General Coote the following letti r which conftitutet the ground ps the present mution : " Sir, 1 have had the honaur of teceivirg yours, and caitnot but express my furpnfe that you, as a geo tlcman, fh.uld decline the acknowledgment of your error j and I feel the deepest rrgret at your retpfal to alhy those sensations which have been wouadel by your malici ous evidence.. I expeA you will immedi ately appeint a time and place for our meet isg. which I wilt take care to attend with punctuality. Sould you not consent to this mode of adjustment, I (hall take the fitft oppurtunity of addressing you in such a manner as my wounded honour cannot fail to dictate ' Upon the receipt of this let ter, (aid the learned coanfel, this mod hon ourable a'd ditlicguifhed officer had felt it to be his duty to make the present applica tion to the court. Lord Kenyori I'.iid, the general was per fedtly right in what he had done. Mr. Erikine observed, that Gen. Coote swears he apprehends the contents of this letter convrya a challenge to fight a duel. His appeal to the court is to (hew the pub lic that if insults fimilnr to the present are permitted with impunity, it is the fault of the parties concerned, and not of the laws gf the country. Lord Keny n said, this letter melt un doubtedly ppeais, on the fir ft blush of it to be a lil?el and h* challenge, unlcfs the writer can otherwifc explain it.
