Lieutenant Lord Camelford is expected to arrive hourly, in one of his Majesty’s sloops of war by order of Rear-admiral Harvey, commander in chief on the Leeward Island station, in order to answer before his peers, the heinous offence of which he has been charged by the coroner’s inquest of the island of Barbadoes.
