The privateer brig Macdonough. captain

l40 men. belonging to ], ID. Wolfe, ESQ. OF
Bristol, (R. } arrived at that pnrt on Sa.
turday last from a cruise. --She sailed De
cember IS. A gentleman who left proyi :
dencc on Sunday morning understood tina,
she had been cruizing off Madeira, &c. and
had taken only one prize, an English schoo
ner from St. Johns. N, Brunswick, for the
West Indies, which she burnt, not being OF
sufficient vaius TO send in. January 80, the
NJ. fell in with a British transport ship, full
of troops, engaged her for upwards of one
hour, and then left her. after suffering CON-
s'derahiy in her sails aud rigging. and hav.

from Savannah, where she put in to obi ain

WASHING TON, March IS.
We have seen New Orleans papers to the
Gath ut. The news of the conclusion of a
peace appears to have reached New Or
| leans, by a communication from Admiral
| Cochrane TO the officer who was sent down
with flag relative to the exchange of pri
soners The General Order issued ON the
occasion will be found in the paper Of TO
| day. and affords another proof of the wari-
ness and energy by which the conduct of
General Jackson has been uniformly char
| acterized during his brief military career.
On a subsequent day, General. jackson
issued another General Order, in conse
| quence of certain injndicious publications in
the New Orleans papers, on the subject, in
which he interdicts similar editorial COM
ments, without authority, so long as the CT
ty is under martial law. This restriction OF
the press appears to have excited some
dissatisfaction.
The official news of Peace probably reach
ed New Orleans from the seat of govern
ment between the first and fifth of MarcE
and will enable the General to permit the
gallant citizens of the West to return to
their families and friends.
