FROM NEW ORLEANS.
BY the ship Talma, we have received our pa
pers' frorl New-Oreans 10 the evening Of the
" capturea by the Colombian privateer Bolivar,
arrived there on the 2lst. 1t appears that in
consequence of being short Of provisions and
water, the Prize Master concluded 10 come to
anchor off the Southwest Pass, when The Pilots
went on board to tender their services. They
had conversation with Capt. Bateman of the
An,oinette, and offered TO assist him in relax
ing his vessel. As soon as every thing was
concerted, the captain called in loud voice for
his cutlass and pistols, and prepared to attack
the prize crew, when the prize master and six OF
his men Jumped overheard, took hold Of the
boa, and endeavpred 10 reach the brig Amiable
Matilda, which was at anchor inside of The bar,
and al short distance; but the men on board
the brig having seen the schooner fire on the
boat which was trying 10 get on board, also hired
at her. The Prize Master was wounded and
his men surrendered. They were taken on board
the Antoinette and put in irons. The Prize
Master being severely wounded remained on
board the AmiabIe Matilda, and they had all ar
rived in New Orleans. Captain Ba,eman states
that the day he was taken, the cap,ors threaten
treated him well, and have not even opened the
matches of the vessel, the Prize Master having
forbidden his men 10 touch the least thing on
board.
Captain Riebaud, OF the Bohvar, arrived at
New Orleans on the 18th, in the steamboat Co.
lombia, from Mobile, and was Immediately
lodged in prison.

from North Alabama and Tennessee The mar
ket has been calm since last report, principally
towards the end of the week; when some small
parcels OF North Alabama and Tennes,ees
changed hands. Although Louisianasand Mis-

and the advices from all quarters promise no
change for the better.
