more creditable it would be to the sum• mender cud to the crew. , But the whole crew was far from being tranquilized. The most seriously imp!' stated began once more to collect in knots daring the night. Seditious words were heard through the vessel, and an insolent and menacing air assumed by many.-- Some of the petty officers hail been sound ed by the first Lieutenant, and found to be true to their colors. They were under the impression that the vessel was yet far from safe, that there were still many at lib erty who ought to be conti ied ; and that an outbreak, having for its object the res cue of the prisoners, was seriously con templated. Various intelligence was from time to time obtained of conference among the disaffected. Individuals not before supposed to be very deeply implicated were now found in close association with those who were. Several times during the night there were symptoms of an in tention to strike some slow. Mt. Wales detected Charles A. Wilson attempting to draw out a handspike Iron' under the launch with an evident purpose of telling hint, and when Mr. 'Wales cocked his pis tol and approached, he could only offer some lame excuse for his presence there. I felt more anxious than I had yet done, mid remained continually on deck. At 12 o'clock, when the watch was called and mustered, AlcKiriley, Green, and oth ers seriously implicated, missed their muster. That they should have been a sleep at all that night was not likely; that . they should have missed their muster on that particular occasion, having never done so before,otherwise than intentional ly, was impossible. Those who missed their muster had all some lame excuse:— There was probably an agreement to meet round the officer of the deck and commence some act of violence. I heard Gre , .n give as au excuse for missing his muster that he was on deck, but could not get aft fur want of room. I immediately went forward, rejected his excuse with some exclamation of impatience, and or dere., him to take the lookout forward for four hours, directing the midshipman of the forecastle to watch him closely ; the others who had missed their muster wet e similarly distributed. At 4 o'clock others of the implicated also missed their muster, I coedit not contempla e this growth of dis .Ifection without serious uneasiness.— Where was this thing to end ? Each new arrest of prisonef's seemed to bring a fresh set of conspirators forward to occupy the first place. With flee weather and bright nights there was already a disposition to make an attack and rescue the prisoners. When bid weather should call oil the nttentton of the officers, when the well disposed portion of the crew shitalil be occupied in shortening sail, and utter darkness shoulil withdraw every thing from view, how great the p vbability of a rescue: If the deeply implicated were ironed, would all the dangerous be in cus tody? What sympathy might not be ex cited by the sufferings of the prisoners? These grave considerations, the deep sense I had of the solemn obligation I was under' to protect and defend the vessel that had been entrusted to me, and the lives of her officers and crew, the seas traversed by our peaceful merchantmen, and the unarmed of all nations using the highway of the' seas, from the horrors which the conspi rators had ineditated ; and a )(lye all, to guard from violation the sanctity of the American flag displayed from the mast head of one of its cruisers, all impressed upon me the absolute necessity of adopt ing immediately some lurther measuree 10 , the security of the vessel. Hitherto I hail censulted the first Lieu ,....ti only, and hail been justified in ..,cry thing I had done, by finding his 'pintoes identical with my own. In so wave a case, however, 1 was desirous of tying the opinion of all the officers, and was particularly anxious that no shallow if doubt should remain as to the guilt of either of the prisoners, should their exe cute) be deemed necessary. Under these circumstances I addressed the fol lowing letter to all the officers on boaril, , except the acting midshipmen. 'Though, they had June meil'e duty in the late trans lilt 1111118, they were still boys. Their' own. oi could add but little force to that it the older officers; it would have been 'aril, at their early age, to cull upon them sty whether three of their fellow-crea-' • n es should live or (lie.

After I had written the letter to the officers, but before I had sent it, 9 o'clock of Wednesday morning, 30th November, had arrived, and with it the customary morning quarters. Wilson having failed in his attempt to get up an outbreak in the night, and finding himself narrowly watch ed; feeling, indeed, that he could Le no longer left at large, had come forward with some lame and absurd confession, and the request that he should not be ironed. I immediately told hint that it he would make a real confession, he should not lie molested ; and the it was only an insult to offer me such a lame story as that whit h had ueen adready reported to me by Lieut. Gansevoort. Nothing more could be got from him, and at quarters he I was ironed. In his sail bag was found sit African knile, of an extraordinary shape, short and gradually expanding in breadth, and sharp oti both sides ; it was of no use for an honest purpose ; it was fit only to kill. It had been seen secretly sharpen ed, by his own confession, the day before, with a file, to a perfect edge. He hail begun also to sharpen his battle-axe with the same assistant. One part of it he had brought to an edge; the sharpening of battle-axes had never been allowed or practised on board the Somers. McKinley, also down anions the cer tain, and beyond a doubt correctly, was arres'ed. Hitherto he had kept at large by his admirable steadiness and command 'of countenance. He, in fact, is the in dividual whit, if the mutiny had been tine ces.ful, would have made way with all his competitors and risen to the command.— Remembering Green's demeanor during , the past night, I sent for hint, interrogated him, and ironed him Alexander McKee, who was to have taken the wheel, and ' who was entirely in the confidence of Cromwell, was also ironed. 1 These individuals were made to sit down as they were taken, and when they were ironed I walked deliberately round ) the battery, followed by the firs. Lieut., and we made together a very careful in spection of the crew. Those who, thougn known to be very guilty, were considered to be the least dangerous, were called out and interrogated : care was taken not to awaken the suspit tons of such a• from courage and energy were really formidable, utile.s it was intended to ' arrest them.

The witnesses were duly sworn land testimony accurately written down ; in addition to the oath, each witness sign• ed the evidence which he had given alter 'it had been read over to him. The offi cers passed the whole day in this occupa tion without interruption and without food. I remainml in charge of the deck with the three young Midshipmen on minstant duty. The officers were enus• ed trout evening quarters. At nightfall, orders were sent to them to discontinue their deliberations and resume their watches, as the present safety of the ves• 8,1 must be attended to. The risks and uncertainty of the pre ceding, night had determined me that mother such should not be passed. I draw up a watch bill of all the officers, idlers included, dividing them into two watches, and assioing each a separate station in different p arts of the vessel. I took charge 111 the starboard watch my self, and assigned the larboard to the first Lieutenant. This brought me with two watches on sleek; but the first Lieuten• ant had been as touch on duty as myseif. Even this. how ever; was a great relief, as I obtained at intervals during the mid watch, an hour or two of refreshing sleep. In the course of the morning ot Thors• day, the Ist of December, the first Lieut presented to site the following letter, in answer to that which I had addressed ott the previous morning to the officers.

I at once concurred in the justice of their opinion, and in the necessity of car rving its recommendation into immediate effect. There were two others of the con spirators almost as guilty, so far as the' intention was concerned, as the three ringleaders who had been first confined, nil to whose cases the attention of the officers had been invited ; but they could tie kept in confinement without extreme danger of the ultimate safety of the vessel. l'he - three chief conspirators alone were capable of navigating and sailing her.— By their removal, the rescue, a capture, and a carrying out of the original design of piracy, was at once taken away. Their lives were justly forfeited to the country which they had betrayed; and the interests, of that country, anti the honor and secu tity of its flag, required the sacrifice, how. ever painful, should be made, In the necessitie , of my position I found my law, anti in them also I must trust to find my justification. I had, for a day or two, been disposed to arm the petty officers. Ott this subject! alone the first Lieutenant differed from me in opinion: influenced in sonic de-, agree by the opinions of some of the petty officers themselves, who thought that in the peculiar state of the vessel, the com mantler and of f icers could not tell whom to trust, and, therefore, had better trust no one. I hail made up my own mind, reasoning more from time probabilities of the case th ut trout my knowledge of their characters, which was necessarily less intimate than that of the first Lieutenant, that 'hey could be trusted, and determined io aria them. I directed the first Li oft. to muster them on the quarter deck, to issue to each a cutlass, pistol, and cart ringe box, and to report to me when they were armed. I then addressed them a• follows : My lads! you are to look a' tile to obey my murders, and to see my order• obeyed!

I woulii not, however, imi. tate his intended example as to the man nee of claiming the sacrifice. If there yet remained to loin one feeling true to na ture, it should be gr stifled. If he had any word to send to his parents, it shoul u' recto ded, and faithfully delivered. l'en minutes should be granted him to , ti,i4 purpose; and Midshipman Egber rhompson was called to note the tint and inform me when the ten minutes It. ..lapsed.

Cromwell fell upon It , knees completely unmanned, protests his innocence, and invoked the name his wife. Mr. Spencer said to me, A• these are the last worth* I have to say, I trust they will be believed : Cromwell is innocent!" The evidence had been con clusive, yet I was staggered. I sent for Lieutenant Gansevoort and consulted hint; he said there was not shadow of doubt. I told him to consult the petty officers. He was condemned by acclamation by the petty officers. 11e was the man of whom they had real appre hension; the accomplice at first, and • ,afterwards the urger on of Mr. Spenser, wall it they procure morn than twelve who had rained him to the act by which signatures to their application, to guard he had intended to benefit.

And another had remarked, that underhanded operations—and no gouge , after the vessel should have been captur. ing.

This effectually aroused him, and a very exalted opinion of the judgment of his countenance assumed a demoniacal expression.
