FROM NEW-ORLEANS.


Our accounts from New-OrIesns are to
the LIST of this month. We subjoin AN extract
from our letters while it furnishes matter
for regret that the hero who so signal!y dis
tinguished himself in the defence of that
place, should have exposed himself to the
process of Civil Law, it is certainly a subject
Of Just exultation to every one who values
properly our political institutions, to perceive
shis display of the Majesty. of Law over Mil
itary despotism. II also furnishes ali honor
able instance OF the spontaneous gratitude &
ardent zeal of the people whom Gen. Jackson
has been instrumental, under heaven. Of pre-
serving from desolation and ruin.--PhR. Gaz.
"NEw-ORLEANs, March 81, 1915.
&c In some Of my last letters, i limited at
several measures of gen. jackson, subsequent
to the evacuation of the snemy, which were
considered by many as highly arbitrary, If
not tyrannical. Among these was the arrest
apd confinement of Judge Hall of the u S.
district court. A circumstance has taken
place to-day relating to it, which may not be
uninteresting, and will serve to shew in what
estimation the general is still held here.
Some days ago, motion was made before
Judge Hall. by the United States Attorney
for General jackson to shew cause why a
writ of attachment should not issue against
him for a contempt of court in not returning
writ of Habeas Corpus directed to him, and
for the arrest and imprisonment of the Judge
The gen. appeared III court with written
defence but this YVES objected to by the at
torney of the United States.
The Judge, after consideration; confirmed
the objections of the district attorney, and re
fused 70 hear the defence read. The rule was
made absolute & the General appeared this
morning to receive sentence which was a
fine ofone thousand dollars.--The populace,
who are devoted to Jackson, on his leaving
court, hurried him into carriage, and con-
Quoted him TO both of the Coffee Houses,
able manner. They then escorted him to his
quarters.
A. the mere suggestion of the measure, sub
scription was opened, limited to 81. each per
SOB, for the purpose of paying the fine: before
5 o'clock, the whole was raised in this small
way /; but if the limitation to one dollar each
had not been adopted, it would have been
raised in two minutes. This business was Sc
handsomely managed, that the generals check
on the bank was not to be entered up, but the
money was placed to the Marshal's credit
without the generals knowing any thing of the
transaction.
Tomorrow he takes his parting dinner with
us, and will set out Immediately afterwards for
