That the Court, in wi hdrawing this c.i«e from the Jury, have acted according to the law a* established by precedent, we do no: presume to doubt; hut we may observe that, in the country from which our systsni ol laws i derived, decisions lea* dan ye ron s to the ri elite of the ri iz-ns, have been immediately corrected by actsol flic L-gia'atiire

On behalf of IIe>ton; a Sh-rff's officer, indicted for executing the writ iauied bv Mr. ’hillips, an applica- tion was made to the Court, ior an immediate trial : but this was refused.

In the case which was all hut tried, it is probable, that IhoJury, generally, had ina-'.e up their minds. Ii those w ho had format! a deliberate o.union on the ques- tion, which they expre'ed hi decide, should tr ite in cer-

tifying lha* opinion to the public, thi*, we think, would b» no more than an act of justice to themselves and the dvfcnlint. ,and could not ho construed into a want ol respect lor the Court that discharged thorn.

~foh ~riiE e.yqVIRKn. 'Va.1Iinuton, May 8th, 1830.

Ai a friend of the Naval service, and of Capt. lloll- >:ian, but without his know ledge, or that of any other person, I .send you the billowing statement, hecause I think it is a subject in which the country has a deep in- terest, on acrount of all tho circumstances which ap- pertain to the whole alljir.

Vours respectfully. The recent arrest and trial of Ca/>t. Iloffman. It would require but cursory an I brief retrospect of

our Military and Naval Courts Martial, to convince the most unpractised observer ol the deplorable degeneracy ol those institutions, into a mockery of justice, and a prostitution ol the dignity and honour ol the two pro- fessions, as evinced by the malii'iiiiy of arrests and specilica'ions, the unfairness ol their trials, the injus- tice and oppression of tln.ir decision*.

In the origin, progress, and termination of the recent trial <>t ( apt. I loliiuan, suitable terms are not to be found in the vocabulary ot common parlance, by which properly to characterise its diabolical iniquity and op- pression.

(hi the 15th ot November, 1828, the Secretary of tho Navy dispatched the \ andalia, (’apt. Galaghcr, as a re- lief vessel to the lioston, Capt Ilollinan, then oil the Ih a/.ilian Station, with unsealed orders to Coni. Creigh- ton, commanding tho squadron, “to send the Idoston to •he United States, touching at the principal West India

The V uidali arrived at the Station on the 6lhof Feb- ruary, lSJ't, following, when Capt. (!jla;jher presented the orders to ( om. Creighton. Tho oders not being sealed, Capt. Galaghcr w as acquainted with their con- tents, as a matter of course.

C3alagh-r aid Cjpt. Hoffman ha.l thus ore pared lor an approaching hcrrieane a* n-tial. Corn. Creigh'on made •ignal to Capt. lit liman to Iwii out hi* r-el*; leaving hi* own v •**el and Capt. Galagher** in the it'Hal nttiu.'rs of safety. CM't. Hoffman aimwore.l the *i> nal hut did no! m-tiiIc it. herans* It held him. «e|f respond! |e, a- in fact hr was responsible, hv the intrli s*c prineiple* of naval tsr'ic*, in *nrh pre-ring contingency, far the safety of hi* ve**e| and rrew. " hereupon Com. Creighton rent a vethal message to Capt Hofftn >n. enquiring il he lind ra ood the sign*', See. Cap'. Hoffman returned for uii'Wer, that he could not receive a verbal cominunicali n from him, a« he had alretdy goMen hitri'elf in difticuliy wi h Com (. reighton. who had denied upon a farmer occasion a verbal order which he h -d exeefe I, aid l.y h >t denial had threwn the respon* hili'y of the act mini. him. wi'h a'l the consequences that an tinatilhoiizrd act might perrhance bring on him under »iirh riri-iims anre*.

Now. it must be perfectly obvious to every one, that any military or naval order involving much danger and responsibility, being made verbally, ought to he consider- ed irregular, a* it is liable lobe mutilated and misunder- stood. as well as to he afterwards denied l.y him who is- sued it, or him who received it,and to open a w ide field foi contentions, grievances an I rriiiiiiiatioi.s, arrests, courts martial and oppression; dividing the soli I column of pro- fessional honour and harmony, into personal jealousies, vexatious orders and consequent insubordinations, equal- lv out ol the purview of the service of the Country— Kven the very order in question, to turn out the reef* ol the Boston, while the other vessels of the squadron were made partial exceptions to that order, upon whom all the circumstances of the case were equally operative, had it been regularly made in writing, would yet have been a vexatious order and unworthy to he obeyed In,Iced this is a case strictly illustrative of the truism, that a man may be placed in such a situation l.y the malice of his ene- mies, or other perverse fate, tint he has no alternative ot action, to avoid censure and condemnation. The command to ('apt. Hoffman to turn out his reel's must ho obeyed, or he incurs a charge of insubordination: if it were obeyed, the ship and crew had inevitably hee.n en- dangered, and possibly lost; and this issue would have he -n imputed to a want of skill and officer-like conduct on the part of ( apt. Huffman. Nay, emergencies have often occurred, wherein inferior officers, impelled l.y an ardent sense ol patriotism, and a deep conviction of right, have assumed the responsibility of acting prompt- ly, without awaiting the sanction of tlicir superiors, as well as m opposition to flieir express commands, and the results have been the lull consummation of the ends and view, of the public service. Nor does Capt. Hoffman’s disobedience ot the vexatious order to turn out his reefs nor his returning to the United States without orders, a* he afterwards di lraffordany exceptions to those instances hilt confirm their justification l,V suporadded beneficial results, for oxamph—Capt. Decatur assumed the re- sponsibility ol destroying the Philadelphia under the batteries of I npoli, a torlorn hope, of which his com- mander would never have ordered the attempt to he made: yet Hu, glorious achievement may jus ly he term- ed the matrix l.y which our subsequent naval d trin" ha* been modelled, the diffusive stimulus or rmulati n that In, inspired our officers and crews with sunerlm- man energies and steadiness of execution. Capt De eaii.r sailed ... squadron under Com. Rogers, from Bos- on m 1«12, and separated from him in the cruise, con trary to orders, and h s rapture of the Macedonian wa* the consequence: nor wa* any exception taken to this insubordinate conduct. Capt. Biddle. In IS2S, committed he same offence as Capt. Hoffman, l.y leaving the s.vne Brazilian station and returning home without oidors from il* government: nor was any exception taken to that act of insubordination!!
