POUGIIKEEPSIE, AUGUST 16.
Cadets. ? The cadets from YVest
r point, to the number of 230, under the,
command of Major Bell, left tlmt
place in the afternoon of the 10th
inst. ; they arrived in this village on
Friday last, about uoon, and imme
diately e ncamped. They were met
a short distance. from this place, by
a detachment of the Fusilier com
pany, commanded by capt. Valentine,
together with a number of citizens,
and escorted into town. They ah?
a body of fine looking young meu,
in whom are centered the" best hope
of ttie nation and have attiined a
height in military science, that re
flects credit upon the institution in
which they are educated. -On Satur
day they marched through our streets,
and returned to the field of encamp
ment, where they perfortned a varie
ty of military evolutions, which,
joined with the excellent music oi
their band gave great satisfaction to
the numerous spectators. Their ex
ercise and manoeuvres exhibited great
attention to discipline and duty, .were
highly honorable to themselves, and
promised future usefulness to their
country. They are obliged to sub
mit to all the fatigues of a soldier's
life, iu marching, standing guard,
and performing the duties of the
camp. The urbanity ami general
deportment of the cadets were con
clusive, that the blandishments of
the citizens are not lost by being uni
ted with the sterner qualities of the
soldier. The unpleasant weather
of Monday deprived the spectators
of witnessing a further display of
military tactics. On vionday even
v ing, a ball was given to the cadets,
at L. B. Vau Kleeck's Hall, by the
citizens of this village; which for
numbers, beauty and fashion, was
never excelled in this place.

To the ship is to be attached a boat

almost entirely destroyed by fire, on

geuerous contributions of their fellow
citizens, a sum of money was almoH!
immediately raised, sufficient to re
build the lodge ; ami such has been
the zeal and activity of the supcriti

We had leant t, from the newspa

had taken place amongst our Naval
Officers on tlie Mediterranean Sta
tion. We are sorry to say, that
private tetters received in this city
confirm the accounts. It is said to
have arisen upon the occasion of the
disapprobation, by Com* Stewart ,
of the proceedings of a Court Mar
tial, beld whilst the squadron lay
off Naples. About that time, the
squadton sailed for Gihrrtltar, and
the officers who had composed the
Court met off that port, and ad
dressed a remonstrance to the com
madding officer against the terms of
Itia disapprobation of the Proceed

rrested those officers, being four
