Dr. Bollman, who has been brought
from New-Orleans as a state prisoner,
has petitioned his honor Judge Lek,
for a Habeas Corpus. We learn, how
ever, that the orders received by Capt.
Kaltiesen from Gen- Wilkinson,
are to keep him in close confinement—
to suffer no person to have any commu
nication with him, except commission
ed officers-^—and to await the orders of
the President of the United States—
under these circumstances Capt. Kal
tiesen, conceives himself justified in
refusing to give up his prisoner upon a
civil process.
We have the pleasure to state, that
the several uniformed volunteer corps,
composing the Republican Militia legi
on, cavalry, artillery, riflemen, and light
infantry corps, have unanimously ten
dered their services to the President of
the United States, to be employed, on
any service which may be required for
the maintenance of the liberties of the
United States, the integrity of its terri
tory, the repelling of invasion from a
broad, and the suppression of treason at
home, or for bringing to condign pun
ishment in support of the union, conspi
rators or traitors. Aurora.
New-York, December 29.
By the arrival yesterday of the Bri
tisb/Paeket Diana, 46 days from Fal
mouth, via. Halifax and Bermuda, we
have received our regular file of the
London Morning Herald to the 9th of
November. They are occupied prin
cipally with disasters on the Continent.
It does not appear there has been any
battl of consequence since that of Jena.
Bonaparte entered Berlin on the 24th
of October and has concluded a treaty
of neutrality with the Saxons. The
remnant of the Prussian army, thirty
thousand in number, under the com
mand of the Dukes of Brunswick and
Weimar are expected to make a stand
on the Oder, where they are to be join
ed by 200,000 Russians, commanded
by the Emperor Alexander in person.
On the 1 5th of October, the day fol
lowing the battle at Jena, as Bonaparte
was passing through Weimar, he wa3
shot at from a window, but the ball
missed him. He was so enraged that
he ordered the town to he given up to
fire 8c sword, 8c every building was des
troyed. Sir Sam. Hood.K. B.is elected a
member of Parliament fur Westminster
to succeed the bon. Charles Fox, dec.
BURR'S Co.\ SPIRACY.
Blannerhasset, who plays such a dis
tinguished part in this plot, is an Uni
ted Irishman ; he is said to have been
in this city about 6 or 7 years ago, and
to have taken the oath of naturalization
in this state. He is said to own 20,
0( 0/. more or less in the English funds.
Ht lives on an Island in the River Ohio,
twelve miles below Marietta, and con
taining about 350 acres, of which Blan
nerliasset owns about 200. A gentle
man acquainted with 1L is of opinion,
that his resource are not at all com
mensurate with the expences of this
expedition, and asserts as the general
sentiment of that part of the country,
that most of the means are derived from
the Spanish government.
It is reported that Col. Burr address
ed letters to Gov. Jackson of Tennes
see, and Mr. Harrison, Governor of the
Indianna Territory, informing them,
that there was every probability of a
war taken place immediately with
Spain ; that he had received aliig'h com
mission from the P. U. S. and request
ing them to have the respective forces
under their command, ready to join
him on particular days. Jackson and
Harrison are reported to have trans
mitted an account on these letters to
the P. U. S. who is said to have these
letters or copies of them now in his
possession.
It is added that this insidious traitor,
this infamous Mellinsont, has played
the most detestable game, that can be
conceived. lie attempted to enlist some
of the Americans into his service, by
representing that his design was to at
tack Mexico, fie persuaded the Span
! ish Exminister that his object was to at
[ tack New-Orleans and sever the West
ern from the Atlantic Statts; and so
complete was his ascendency over the
wily Marquis, that he actually had the
address to obtain from him an order for
20,000 stand of arms.— Rich. Enquirer.
Boston, Dec . 29.
1 lie trial of T. O. Selfridge, Esq.
on an indictment of manslaughter
which commenced before the Supreme
Court, sitting in this town, on Tuesday
last, continued until Friday noon, when,
after this long and interesting hearing,
Judge Parker summed up the evidence,
and gave the cause to the jury, with his
accustomed perspicuity and impartiali
ty. The court adjourned from 2 o’clock
to 4, when the jury came in with a ver
dict ol Not Guilty. We understand
that the jury were but 15 minutes in
agreeing on their verdict: It was com
posed of gentlemen of each political
party ; and the only person challeng d,
was a federalist, and a personal friend
; of the defendant.
j Capt. Gatrow, of the schooner Caro
line, 7 days from Matanzies, in Cuba,
| informs, that about sixteen days since, a
British force entered the port of Bat ra
coa, and destroyed the place by fire. In
consequence of which, the government
of* Cuba, fearing a similar attempt on
Matanzies had sent 2000 troops from
Havana to that place. The expedition,
we understand, was not accompanied
by any troops, but consisted only of offi
cers and seamen of the navy, and ma
rines.
