We are forry to ftate, that a difobedient 
and mutinous fpirit has again difcovered 
itfelf in the Britifh navy, and has, in a 
greater or lefs degree, pervaded every 
part of the Channel fleet, though it has 
only broken out into overt acts of refiftance 
in that department of it ftationed in Ban- 
try Bay, under the command of Admiral 
Mitchell. The Cabinet bas been Jong 
apprifed of a confiderable degree of diffa- 
tisfaction, which, from fome caufe or 
other (for the whole is yet wrapt up ih 
no fmall portion of myfery) has been 
difplayed, not only by the mariners, but 
by many of the inferior officers appointed 
to this tation; and on this account the 
fleet has been ‘frittered into different divi- 
fions, to prevent the accuttomed facility. 
of communication. ‘The immediate caufe 
of refiftance in the fleet under Admiral 
Mitchell, was an order from Government 
for this fquadron to fail forthwith to the 
Weft Indies. The mutineering petty 
officers and failors, however, now that 
the war has terminated, and Jeft them no 
hopes of a {plendid booty in a quarter to- 
wards which they would readily have ad- 
vanced before, refufled to weigh anchor, 
and infifted upon remaining at home. It 
is with real fatisfaction we ere enabled to 
inform our readers, that by the prudence 
of the Admiralty and the {pirited conduct 
of Admiral Mitchel) himfelf, and the off- 
cers who aéted in concert with him, the 
mutiny is now completely quelled, end 
the ringleaders have been {etured, and are 
to take their trials immediately.
