YESTERDAY arrived the
sloop Two Friends , capt. Hub
hard, in 17 days from New-Or
leans ;by him we have been fa
vored with the following infor
mation : That previous to his
leaving that place, they were in
great hustle, organizing and
training the volunteer Corps
which appeared to be completely
equipped and expert at their dis
cipline, to the number of from 5
to 700 men; The tegular troops
of the place were estimated at a
j bout 1500 men—the militia were
to he in requisition in a few days,
supposed to amount to about
1000 men.
Commodore Shaw in the
Bomb ketch Vesuvius, was re
cruting with great activity, for
the purpose of manning the dif
ferent government vesseis, and
such as might be afterwards tak
en up by government.
Reports in Trculation were,
that Burr’s infamous adherents
consisted of from 3 to 7000 men,
&encr#a.,jng daily—that the great
est unanimity prevailed among
he inhabitants and the military,
who in conjunction with Commo
dore Shaw, were anxiously wait
ing the arrival of the enemy.
The fortifications were under
going repairs, and the Negroes
from the plantations were order
ed to asit in putting rhe place
in a proper state of defence—
such whs the general impulse.
No apprehensions were enter
tained by the inhabitant* of
Burr’s success.
A great number of vessels
were in the port, and the embar
go still continued. Capt. H. had
previous to his sailing, to obtain
a Passport from Governor Clai
borne, which enabled him to
pus3 the ports and armed vessels
in the rive. Three of his men
entered or board U. S. vessels in

Sir —I have had the harior f
rereh mg.vnnr L-iter of the jjth
inst. in which you express an in
terest in the confinement of Mr.
Shaw. IBs liberation w'th that of
the other , Americans, has been
lately demanded by bis F.xcelltn
cv the Minister Plenipotentiary
of tire United States, ihe Min
ister at War transmitted with his
answer, a copv of ‘-he Mrpricu
lar list, or register, on which M r.
Shaw’s name is inserted ; and,
opposite to his name, it is stated,
that Riciirad Siiaw, was a ni
val Surgeon, on board the frigate
Shannon. Before an American
can be enlarged, who is consider
ed as an English prisoner, four
things are required by the .Minis
ter at War.
lstly. lie must exhibit proofs
that he is an American.
2d!y. T hat he was not a Com
batant, and did not belong io the
crew of the vessel in which he
was taken.
3,<ily. He is to designate the
vessel, and
4thly. He must mention the
Port into winch he was conduct
ed.
We have received documents
which prove that Air. Shaw is an
American citizen. The others
are required , and I have written
to him on this subject.
It is unfortunate, that a dis
tinction is made by the French
government, between natives,
and the adopted citizens of the
United States ; and equally so is
the opinion, that there is nothing
more easy than to procure certi
ficates of citizen-ship, although a
foreigner may have resided but a
few months or weeks in the coutu
try.
You mnv be assured, Sir, that
the American Minister has, as
mnch as in bis power, exerted his
authority for Shaw's release, as
well as that of the other prison
ers. His feelings would be much
gratified by their immediate en
lai gement.
I am, Sir, with high esteem,
Your mosc obed’t & humble
serv’t.

Extract from the Log-Bosk sfthe
1 brig Reliance, capt. Darrell ,
from Cadiz.
Sunday, the 9th of November
with difficulty got under way in
Cadiz Bay. b lowing a gale of
wind from the eastward ; between
4 and 5 in the afternoon, passed
lord Colling wood’s blockading
squadron, consisting of eleven
ships of the line, two of which
were adnvrul’s ships, two frigates
and three heavy gun- brigs—about
5 P. M. was brought to by the
i English frigate Hyder, of 30 guns,
treated politely & soon dismissed.
The officer (a lieutenant) who
boarded me, told me he had been
only two days from Gibraltar ; &
that from the most impartial in
telligence received there, that it
was a drawn battia only, that was
lately fought between the French
and Prussian armies.
Mr. Gilbert Deldois, of Bos
ton has arrived at New York
from Monte Vedio, via Cayenme
he Iclt the former place on the
25th October. He furnishes a
very circumstantial detail of the
proceedings at that place since
the first landing of the British.-
by which the recapture of Buenos
Ayres, by the Spaniards, is plac
ed beyond a doubt. Gen. Beres
ford and his troops had been sent
to Cordovir, about 1050 miles
from Buenos Ayres. It was
stated when Mr. D. left that
place, that Sir Home Popham
had received a icinforceir-ent of
3500 men from .he Cape of Good
Hope, with which it was expect
ed he would make an attack on
Monte Viedo.
A fire took place at Ports
mouth (n. h.) on the 24th uit.
which consumed a considerable
part of Bow-street—the loss was
estimated at 100 to 150,000 dol
lars.
James L- Cathcart Esq, has
been appointed consul of the
United States for the Island, of
Madeira, vice Mr. Lemur, de
ceased.
By a gentleman from Frankfort
(who was present when the grand
jury examined the chaiges against
Burr) we learn that toe amount ot
the testimony was—that Burr was
concerned m the purchase ot -too,
000 acres of land in Louisiana,
nearly opposite the Natclies—that
the young and enterprizing per
sons who were to embark with
him, were to settle on the land— i
that each Lad a musket and was
to act as a soldier under Burr a
gainst the Spaniard, in case of a
v/ar, provided the executive ap
proved ot it-—anu that Ivlr.-Jeffer
son was many months since ac
quainted with Burr’s enterprise.
He added that one year’s provi
sions for the support oftlte settlers
iiad been purchased at 40,000 dol
lars, and that as much more had
beer, expended for instruments ot
agriculture. Burr is daily expect
ed at Washington. — Wash. Fed.
