Captain Mackenzie, dated Dec. ID, 1842. He aUtoa that he had long been engaged in pre. parin j ttie narrative. After making Iho Azores, he proccodtd to Liberia, but not finding tiro Vandatia, to whiek vessel bio vtf charged with despatches, hoeaittd for St. Thomas, leaving thorn with Iho Amcrfcah Consul there. On the 27th of Nov., Lieut.. Gaiwevoert informed him of tito mutiny, and that iufomdtkm had came from Mr. Whirs, the poreer** steward. ML*. Wales stuted to Lieut. Oanaevoert, that en the night before hu waa oalL ad fen tha bjomrby fiptnmr, who asked him V he arafe afraid of^Wdh, n iMio was afraid to kill a man. Mr. Wales thinking that something waa 1 wrong, with great coolness dissembled his real opinions, and Spencer then wqnt on with the dotail* ofhis project, and which we have heretofore correctly published. Spencer stated that' he I tad the farther details of the plan in his cravat. C4>t MeK. thinking this was only some reman, tic freak of Spencer's, but that duty required h:m to ho on his guard, and the lit Licntenant waa directed to watch him, but without appoaring to do so. He wae seen in conference with Cromwell and Small, and had given money to them, and had distributed tobaneo frequently to the apprentices. i He had corrupted the ward-room steward, and induced him to steal brandy, which ho gave out to the men and drunk himself, and ho was ulsooftfA dotedcd amusing the men by making uiii. sic with his jaw. j" Tty officers in the ward room had their wine, but the *jw?gn officers ware not allowed to have spirituous liquor*; but while on the Coast of Afri. cm, the ward-room-mcds had laid in some brandy, whith by aocident as waa thought, but afterwards i discovered to be by design, brandy was ordered by the Maward from two grocers, thus doubling the qitabfity, and affording the steward an opportunity of giving it to Spencer, as none of it was ever as. * fed by the mem. fencer had often among the men vituperated Capt. Mackenzie, and said it would be pleasant to roU| him overheard. He had also examined the hood of Midshipman Rogers, and predicted a viol, cat and sooodv death, and he had drawn a picture , . - r. .T" of n brig with * Uaek flay, and asked tlie Midship, nien what they thought of it, and what kind of a pint to the Somers woukl make. When Spencer first came on board, Capt. Mackenzie received i him in a friendly manner, but having heard of his previous misconduct, and that he was dismimed from tiro Brazil station, he thought that lie would make an effort to have him ordered from the vessel. ,Mr. Hoffman here saggested the propriety of not reading any more of this narrative, as it evi. ' dontly had not been enmparod with the original, which was seat to the Department. It was then passed over temporarily, to be rosomed upon a future occasion, to bo received name pro fuse, and meanwhile Capt. M'K. would compare and correct j* by the original draft. Reported for the Evening Pott. Third Day, Friday, Dm. 30,1843. T.ic Court assembled pursuant to adjournment, and the Judge Advocate having road the minutca of jester day's proceedings?CupL Mackenzie pro. diicod a correct copy of his report to the Secretary, which was read by the Judge Advocate. After going over the same ground as that contained in yesterday's report?the date, liowever, on which the plot was first disclosed, being stated to bo Uic 36th Nov.?K went on to state that Capt.

Obocry. ing Spencer, endeavoring to conimunieato with the crow, ho ordered the crew- to bo turned with their face* aft. He afterward* ordered that Spencer and the two otlicra sliould bo deprivod of tobacco, and the next day Spencer appeared much depressed. On Tuceday, the twonty.ninth of November, the men apparently moat deeply hnplioa. tod, appeared to ho gathering together in knots, and to he contemplating some -blow to be etruok { and some, who had been thought to be leea implicated, appeared to bo aa much so as the othm*r Soveral of the principal men in the conspiracy ani?rl their muster, apparently by concert; and never having done so before, it was supposed they intended to collect round the officer, when sent for, and commence an attack. Every thing seemed to be growing worse. Willi every fresh arrest there appeared to be an addition to the ranks of U10 conspirators, and it was suspected that a rescue was intended. In this state, Capt. M. addressed a letter to tbo officers, eatling for their opinion.? Before sending thia letter, quarters were called on Wednesday, at 9 o'clock, the 3Jlh Nov. At this, Master Wilson came forward, made a karoo oon fession, and roqocsted not to be put in irons. He was arrested and ironed with Mckinley and GruuOn Wilson was found a knife of a peculiar form, sharpened and ovidanUy intcadod for killing. It was also asoertained that he had boqu socrelly sharpening his battle axe. The officers c?Ucd on, then aasomblod and took testimony, swearing the witnesses, keeping un acouruto record of the testimony, and each witness signing it. On tho 1st Doc., tho officers presented a communication to Captain Mackenzie, stating that > tlioy were con. vinced that Spencer, Small and Cromwell, were engaged in a mutiny?that it would be inipoiwible to convey them safely to the U. 8., and that they were of opinion thai dno regard to tlio safety of the vessel and their own livos required that those three sbMd be put to death. This apinteu they gave, they said, after due oooeideration and regard , to tlicir duty, to tlioir God, their country and theio* selves. In Uiis, Captain M. coincided, and kjfo jn the opinion they expressed tint the o.liur prisoners could bo carried to the United flatus, utile throe chief conspirators only, were otpabh of navigating the vessel. The men were then armed, and Cupt. Mackenzie addressed them; preparations were made for hanging the three chief conspirators at tlie main-yard unn. Captain Mackenzie then put on his full uniform, and communicated to Spencer his fate, giving him ten minutes to write any communication ho might please, for any of his relations. He then told Cromwell and Small their futc. Cromwell protested liis innocence, and cattod on tlio name of his wife. Spencer also said so at first, hut on another communication taking place, lie said no more of his innocence, it having been told him thai it wus ascertained Cromwell liad only intended to make use of hiin perhaps as a secretary, or othorwiso dispose of him if lie found hiin refractory. Spencer refused to write sny letter, but said lie wished his father and mo. thcrall happiness. Ho said also it would kill !>: poor mother, and this, C.ipt. M. said wai tho first time ho knew Spencer hud a mother. Ho said that ha was afraid it would injure hi* father.? Capt. M. said it wo aid have injured liiin more if he had succeeded, and in a long conversation, said it was better he should die then, as if ho went to tho United States, ho would cssupe, as there terns no justice fur those who had friends and mo. net/ im the United States. Ho also confessed that ho had had the same project on board tho John Adams aud Potomac. After further conversation, ho anked how lie was to die; and objected to being hung, and wishod to bo shot. IIo also wished to lie allowed an hour, and was not hurried. He was fumislicd, at his own request, with a Biblo and prayer-book; und utter upwards of an liour had elapsed, tliey were led out. Spenecr asked Mr. Wales to forgive him for hating attempted to soduce him, which was granted. He asksd forgiveness also from Small, on which Small drew back with horror, and refused, with an exclamation, saying they should meet at tho bur of tiod. Afterwards, howevor, on the so. Imitation of Capt. M., Suiall did forgive Spencer, and Capt. M. asked Small to forgivo him if he had done any thing to him which he ought not, on which Small said that Capt. M. " was right and was doing his dutylie then requested that his top-mates would give him a quick snd easy death. Spencer also asked to be allowed to give tho word to fire the gun which was to be Uio signal of his neuui. * mi was ucceucii 10. mnsll aim asked to address the crew, which was grunted. He then protested that he had never been a pirate, that lie had never killed a man, and was to suffer for having intended to do so, and that he was brought to this end by having been in a Guinea ship, asking them to bewnro of a Guinea man. When lie had done, and the word was expected from Hpencpr, he said ho could not givo it, and rcquentod the commander to do so. He did po, und tlio execution took place. Copt.
