cisely what the Act of Parliament does, for by
'his Act no difference is made between a British
inject and an American citizen, in this respect.
Both are bound to pay the duties in cash, or to de-
post the goods in warehouses as a security for such
psyment until it be made. 1t ought not to escape
Cur recollection either, that this warehousing plan

With respect to all the other positions assumed
IN The report OF the Committee OF Commerce, or
'n'inlained by the senator from Massachusetts,, they
ave already been shewn by a reference to the acts
d Parliament to be notg erroneous in fact. The
D ale OF things out OF which they grew no longer
exists; and the very object of these acts was to ac-
cOmmodate the trade to the new order thereby
c'eated. 1t will be unnecessary therefore to trou-
DE the Senate with any observations upon these

From The tVoshingfon Teleoroph.

A gentleman who hid a conversation with Gen.
Adsir on the subject of the battle at New Orleans,
has favored us with the following particulars: The
General informed him that he arrived at New Or
leans, or General Jackson's camp, with the Ken
lucky militia, who were uusrmed, four days before
the battle OF The 9Th of January; bat Jackson's
plan Of defence had been previously formed and
displayed; that so many OF The Ken,uckians as could
be armed, were introduced among The regular and
Tennessee troops, already stationed TO strengthen
the line wherein was most likely he British troops
would make their grand attack; that he was the
commander Of those troops, nor otherwise acted in
t,,s battle, except to excite the Kentuckians 10
load and discharge their pieces as fasi as they could,
and as well as they could that the defence Of Or
leans, the victory, and every thing else, belonged
to Jackson; and that he did not believe that any
other man in the United States would have been
so successful.

PETERSBURG, October 90 On Monday the
Grand Jury, after the usual charge from the Bench,
retired to their room and agreed upon a number of
presen,ments. On Tuesday morning Robert Fem
was a~rraigned upon an indictment for murder in
the second degree, the case coming from the Elk
aiming Court of the Borough, and founded, as
our readers will remember, upon the circumstance
of an affray at Poplar Spri.g on the goth Of July
last, in which Raleigh RosSer lost his life in a
contest with the said Fem. l.. c. BouIdin, Esq.
States Attorney, prosecuted for The Common
wealth; and Benjamin w. Leigh, A. B. Spooner
and M. B. Peterborough, Esqs. appeared as Coun-
sci for the prisoner. Much difficulty was expert
enced in obtaining a Jury, owing to the n~o,ofie,y of
the facts, and in consequence of so many per-
sons having formed and expressed an opinion on
the case. However, about half past twelve o.
clock the Court was enabled to enter upon the
trial, and proceed with the examination of wit
resses, which occupied near four hours, and then
the arguments of Counsel commenced. The pri-
soner was very ably defended: and the Jury at IL
o'clock, P. NJ. after having retired for a few mi
nutes, brought in a verdict of a%cquittaI.
