Tn ti•e autumn of the sear 1779, ehat is,
!about three years before the termination of

'against the revolted States of America, and
their ally. F. ance, the garbled report of a des-
Perot° mutiny upon the high seas reaae - d`.

the m iss of distorted exaggeration, were stap

The captain of If. II M.'s elnop•of war rt..
tom cruising on the American [milliard, was
not only a stern diciplinarian, but a man of
cruel, inflexible temper, who, sheltering him
self under the plea of '• duly," had contrived
in a very short time, to render the Saturn,
it mere limiting hell, peopled by devils, main
of his own making bed as the composition

O,ien nottiny would have broken out long
before it did, bad it not chanced that. the Sa

cause of offense was supposed to he—the mon
arch of the Sr , urn rarely condescends' to ex
plain precisely why he punished his subject
vict inis —that he had overheard Mr. Edwards
speak of him in not quite as lint teri.,g terms as
he, one (.f the highest of the Upper Ten Thou
mn.l. knew himself to be entitled, to, espec
ially from a fellow why hail carne in at the
hawse-holes. I may here remark, - eTipa.aant,
that in the Bond old day., when g o o d old

rules of the seri/too for rvon an honorable to
to indulge in with impunity. The Admiral
on the station was officially ittformed of the
outrage that. hal been committed, and after a
somewhat len t hened corres tondenee bet ween

Portsmouth, where, it was alleged, a Court of
Enquiry could he more. satisfactorily !held
than on the American station, The troth'lVlll3.
the A tmiral had by some means ascertained
the latent mutinous state of the Saturn's crevl,

However that may have 'been, lite Baturn

believed they were eertain to get rid. before

consented to-di) titer duly, though no longer
coerced by consorts. The captain. moreover,
finding him

his iron rule, and even condescended to carry

Captain the Honorable... Charles F— was
a more than usually physically brave man,-
and morbidly ambitious of distinction in the
service. He eagerly longed to find himself

doubt, was hot the unsparing use of the lash
was the only mode of getting his ship into first
roe fighting condition—such a condition thnt.
triumphs over an enemy, not too much over
matching blur—the sloop Saturn engaging
a French frigate, for example—would be al
most it matter of certainty.,
No such chance had beem afforded him
The Saturn's exploits lied reached no - 16111er
range than the capture of two or 'three mer

commanded by , his father, from Baltimore,
U. S., to Havre de Grace, Franco. could not
resist the ~temPtation of revisiting, the old
place, chiefly with the view of inducing liis
mother and Suittit Blake to accompany film'
back to Ilavre, where the marriage ceremony
between, him and his, constant sweetheart
having been solemnized, all lotaT,zlwidt
Susan's. his child—would sail in the-Frank
lin for the United States.
' The mother and sweetheart eagerly necep
ted - the proposal, and, before another day
,had closed, they would, all have embarked in
a fishing smack for Havre de Grace. I
must here mention that the only other per
son who knew John King had come over
from France toSidinouth was Stephen Rogers
one of the mutineers of the Saturn, and theta
second mate of the
all,,
the crew of
which vessel were all, without exception,
Saturn mutineers.—Stephen Rogers, having
pressing business of his own in England,
had- come over from France with John King.
The Honorable Charles I?—rsei..ed John
King with his own hands; pounced upon
him with a shout of demonate triumph. The
prisoner was immediately sent. off, in custody
of, the officers, to Portsmouth.
The trial, was of course, a mere formality.
It was' held with closed doors; the only titran
ger allowed to be present being the prisoner's
I solicitor. The probable motive fur resorting
to that unusual, 'though far from unpreceden
ted course, was to avoid giving a prejudicial
publicity to the mortifying . . fact of a captain
in the Royal Navy, and a scion, moreover,
of a noble house having been severely flogged
by his own crew. The sentence, and its
execution, I find thus briefly recorded in the
-newspapers :
" Xesterditv, John King, convicted of. mu.
stoop , of-wr, W7lB
hanged at,the yardarm of the Goliath receiv
ing ship at Partsmotith."
The mother of the convict died before her
son.—The shock of her sou's apprehension
in her presence brought on an attack of brain
-fevr, of which she died on the Iltird day
after be was taken away.
Susan Blake, though stunned for awhile
by the blow, rallied with the help of youth
and health.—Naturally of a brave, sanguine
temperament, she at once set herself to coo•
!Bider if she could not better help her lover
than by weeping and wailing, and wringing
of hands. John King had brought a• cons
'ilijtitrable sum of money with -hint. -- " Armed
with 'h&c the_brave girl set off for London,
furnished with a letter of introduction to a
lawyer there.
A trail reed to lean upon I The lawyer
said that all he could do, and that would
amount to nothing in the end, was to instruct
a k; rlstuouth solicitor to appear for, the
prtsoner. ; e a e —commiserattlig t.e
young woman's distress—that her only chance
was to intercede with the honorable Ch.,rles
on the prisone?s - behalf. His recorn
atendarion-to mercy would, the 'lawyer was
quite sure, be effitmei-us ; and he gave her
the Honorable Charles .F—'s .address
Pull 31all:
Poor Susan had heard enough of the Hon
orable Charles F—'s character (John
King had been very reserved, both:with •her
and his mother, : with respect to the mutiny
and its eauses,) to expect either sympathy
or help front him. Still the case was a despe
rate one, and that last, desperate chance
should be essayed.
•• The Honorable F—is not at home.
Don't know at what hour he will return.
Yon had better call about twelve to-tnorr
and your name w;ll be sent in."
With that answer ,Stian Blake returned
—heartsick, utterly cast down—to her tavern
lodging —Still , punctually at twelve, nextday,
she_wasin Pall Mall.
