Jackson is, however, said to be quite prepared to
meet the enemy. If not attempted very soon after
the date of these accounts, they must have the news
of Peace% from the arrivals at Bermuda, and proba-

Extract of a letter from New Orleans, Feb. 4,
from Smith, Corsey, and Co. to one of the firm in
this town :—" We are now tranquil, and the enemy
are at Ship Island on hoard their fleet, said to be
building boats. It is possible they may attempt Mo-
bilk, but they are destitute of provisions; you know
there is notw there, or at Pensacola; they are in a
most crippled and distressed state.

" Tell all our friends we are safe from all future
attacks. There are now at Mobille eight or ten
thousand troops, and we hear that reinforcements
are expected front Kentucky.

" Since my last the enemy has embarked the whole
of his army, and is now olf Ship Island. Our pri-
soners have been exchanged—those of of our com-
Riny who had been taken, arrived two days ago.—
Among them were G. V. Ogden, Pollock, Lynn,
Laverty, Dr. Cochrane, &c. Dr. Flood went to the
fleet to attend them. They stole that the enemy is
occupied in buildiug a number of boats, and is be-
lieved to be scarce of provisions. We cannot yet
ascertain whether or not be intends paying us an-
other visit. I think it probable that tie either ex-
pects and is waiting for a supply of provisions to
move off, or is waiting a reinforcement. ft he could
not succeed after landing his whole force, it is not
probable that he will again attempt it with a dis!ieart-
coed remnant of a shattered army, and against an
augmented and spirited force. Mr. Ogden says that
the enemy landed 15,000 troops, 11,000 of the line
and 4000 marines and sailors. Dr. Flood states,
that from what he saw when on board their fleet, he
thinks they must hare nearly 1500 wounded. He
understood they had lost a great number, say 3 or
400 in drowned, while passing from and to their
shipping, that one of their boats, with 80 men, sunk,
and not a soul saved.

+,,• Mr. Lovett. has the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of
several communications from uhkoown friends, who have
been pleased to express their approbation of his political
conduct during his long, captivity, surrounded as he has been
by difficulties and dangers almost innumerable ; and he, begs
leave to assure them, that so long as he has the honour of con-
ducting an independent Journal, the principles upon which
he has hitherto uniformly acted, will nut he shaken by adver-
sity, although he has no wish to conceal from the liberal and
enli2htened part of the Public, that he hag, with great
ficulty, been able to withstaud the load of oppression which
has been heaped upon him.
Mr. LOVETT. hopes that his imprisonment is drawing to a con;
elusion, that he may once more breathe the free air; and
that he may enjoy, in the decline of life, a small po: lion of
peace and tianqu illity., of which, by his long incarceration,
