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.

NEW-YORK, Dec. 29. Communicated for the Mercantile Adiisrtisi r PARIS, Scpi, Ist, 1896. 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. (Signed) D. W. Warden, Secretary, He. Lawson Alexander, Esq.

CHARLESTON, Jan. l“. i he following is s pollscript to a letter, received by Satur day night's mail, dated at Philadelphia, the 28th uit. “ The King of Pruifia is fatd to have been wounded, and the Queen a captive; and that the King of Holland, with an had entered Copen hagen.” The above letter is from a gentleman of the fir it reipecla biiity; but no mention is made ol the channel through which the news v. as received at Phi ladelphia.

January IJ. 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. A letter dated Batavia, 14th Sent. 1806.
