clerk answered that mere was rule OF
court which forbade him to port with any
original paper lodged in the Office, and
he would not comply with the demand.
He, however, was prevailed on take the
document in his pocket and accompany
Major Chotard to head quarters. On
his arrival there, he was asked whether
it was his intention to issue the writ, to
which he replied it was his bounden du-
ty to do so. General Jackson asked to
be permitted to see the petition and the
Judges order, and the clerk handed the
paper to him for his inspection. He
was then threatened with arrest and i'm
prisonment if he should issue the writ
Before he retired, he demanded the re-
turn Of the paper which he had handed
to General Jackso:-but this demand
was peremptorily refused and the paper
was withheld The District Attorney
of the United States then applied to-
Judge Llcas, Of the Stale Court, for a
writ OF habeas corpus to get the district
Judge out Of prison; but the General
Immediately ordered the arrest Of both
the state Judge and the District Attor-
ney. 1t so happened, that the Marshal
Of the District, Mr. Duplcssis, whose du-
ty it was to serve the writ. was one of
the Generals Aids; Jackson told him
that he had stopped the Judge, and threat
encd him with the same fate should he
undertake to serve the writ. About the
same time, he ordered the arrest and inn
prisonment of Hollander, a merchant
of some note, without any charge or
cause assigned, and for crime, if any
had been committed, which has never
been made known TO this day.
1t was expected that the official intel
ligence that the treaty had been ratified
by the President and Senate at Wash
ington, would have restored calmness to
Jackson's mind, and that the prisoners
would have been promptly released
But this was not the case, for the pris-
oners were detained, and measures ta-
ken for their trials After a full investi-
CATION of the case Of Mr. Louallier, the
+ court martial decided in his favor and
! against all the charges exhibited by the
General. Jackson was greatly disap-
! pointed at the conclusion to which the
court had arrived. He however, did not
release any of the prisoners, but issued
a general ORDER" disappearing Of the
sentence. This last and useless display
of usurped power astonished alf the M
habitanls; but the General adhered to
his purpose until he was compelled, by q
positive order from the President Of the
United States, to issue proclamation for
the pardon Of all military offences.
The vindictive spirit Of General Jack
son towards the objects Of his cruelty did
not cease with the termination Of wa,
and the restoration Of peace. The re-
lease, and return to the city Of Judge
Hall, was greeted by the acclamation.
