 A CITIZEN. Extract of a letter from gentleman in New Or leans to his friend in this city:
 NEw-ORLEANs, Dec. Ssh, 1S41. regret to notice in your esteemed favour of the 9th inst, which is just receiyed that you deem me disposed to find fault with your city, and this comes with especially had grace from you after your ear request that should speak candidly of things as viewed them agree with you, that il Is doubt ul whether good will result from it, on the contrary perhaps evil, for few admire the dlscernmcnt which discovers their faults and neglecIs; and il may be, far as your corporation is concerned that instead of applying remedy to the evils pointed out, they may from an amable feeling of spite, destroy the fences of lots already enclosed and abolish side walks altogether.
 Tins, however, will scarce be the case; it would not be polite, il would not reelection, but if found popular, cannot way what might be dOne- You have an intelligent board, lis true and an intel
 gent mayor. though from what you say, the latter IS little obstinate occasionally.
 Notwithstanding all this intelligence which your authorities possess you may rely upon it, you ara all wrong, in your total abandonment of your streets and | avenues. At least so far regards the sidewalks and os the poverty of your treasury IS no ex- cuse. H would cost me ho'hihS than the exerton and energy necessary to pass the ordinance and 10 carry it into effect. The expense of the improvement woul be amply returned m less than l2 montlis from the consequent enhancement of | the value of property.
 | Your water works from what you write, will be
 furnished in less time than was anticipated and there will be great day of rejoicing, when your engines are called upon by Mr. Stein to test the supply which | your fire plugs will afford.
 | You must however use all your abilities in getting and keeping the subject of deepening your passes be fore the public, and exciting interest m the pro-
 feet, if you draw it's attention for moment from Banks, cotton and politics.
 | Dredging cannot clear channel and all the money expended by the United Slaes-in this instance, Is | thrown away in childish experiments to remove Ie
 ses.
 | when contemplate the immense importance o this design and the results to grow out o its oxecu l tion in the vast addition your commercial prosper
 ty it to me impossible, that you can allow the subject to sleep for instant. You inform me tha the lghtoragc alone of cotton and merchandise ex cceds the sum 150 900 dollars per annum. This in years, would in all probability pay for this grea | improvement.
 Then look upon the whole fleet of ships. with their | crews, now 15 to 20 miles distant-spread from Chactaw point to mile creek--drawn up in front o your city, and you may form idea of the revolu- ton be achieved the accomplishment of this pro ject, changing Mobile from inland village, 10 sea port of importance.
 l Extract from the Consular Protest in the case o
 the Creole. continuing anarration of the treatment o l the vessel by the British authorities at Nassau. About 10 o'clock P. M., of the sth day of Novem- | Der, lS4l, they made the light of Abaco. | The pilot who came board as the Brig ap- preached Nassau, and all his in the Pilot Boat were negroes. The Pilot was acting under the legal authority of the Island. He and his men, coming ul,d tho nd told reemen, that they could go Oh shore and e CT could be carried away from there One of the Pilots men told one of the female slaves, that he should claim her for his wife.
 The regular quarantine officer came alongside, and Clifford went to shore in his boat. He conducted Gif- ford to the AmericaR Consul who accompanied him the Governor of New Pro idence and all the other Bahama Islands. Clifford hen related to the Cover nor all the facts relating ,he voyage, from Rich- mond to that port. The American Consul, in behalf
 f said vessel and all interested requested of the Go- vernon that he should send guard on board to pro- tect he vessel and cargo, and keep the slaves on board till such time as they could know what theJ could do. The Governor did so, and sent a guard of twenty-four negro soldiers with loaded muskets and bayonets, in British uniform, commanded by a white officer, who took possession of the vessel and all the slaves.
 From Tuesday the 10th, till Friday the 12th day o November, they tied Ben Blacksmith, Addison, kuf. fin and Morris, put them the long boat placed q sentry over uiein aiiu thCih uCics hhcy hi'"- gled with the negroes and told the women they were free, and persuaded them to remain in the Island Captain Fitzgerald, commanding the company, told many of the slaves owned by Thomas M'Cargo, Tn presence omany other of the slaves, how foolish they were that they had not when they rose, killed all the whites on board and run the vessel ashorc and then they would have been free, and there would have been no more trouble about it. This was on We'd | nesday.
 Every day. the officers and soldiers were changed
 I on the Island, divided into equal companies, com handed by officers called captains. There was a regular sentry stationed every night and they placed ali the men slaves except the four which were tied and placed guard over the catchway. They put them in the hold sunset te let them out at suhrse
 There were apparently from l2 to IS thousand ne- groes in the town of Nassau ann vicinity, and about 5 or thousand whites. On Wednesday, the 10th of November about nine o'clock A. M., three civil magistrates of the Island came on board and commenced examining all the white persons. They completed the examination on the Friday following, when the Attorney General came board with the three magistrates, and the deposit tions were signed. The American Consul was present the first two days. The magistrates were accompa' ned by clerk. The Attorney General, on Friday placed the l9 muneers in the custody of the Captain and his guard and ordered then upon the quarter deck.

The fleet of boats under the iml- mediate command of the pilot who piloted the brig into the harbor. This pilot partly before the signal was given by of the magistrates, said, that he wished that they would get through the business that they had their time and he wanted his.
 The Attorney General here stepped on the quarter deck, and addressing himselto all the persons except the nineteen who were in custody, sand, "may friends you have been detained short time on board the Creole for the purpose of ascerain,ng the individuals who were concerned in this mutiny and mu der. They have been identified and will be detained, the rest of you are free and liberty shore and wherever you please' Then addressing the prisoners he said: ssmen there are nineteen of you who have been ident fled as having bsen engaged in the murder of Mir. Howell and in an attempt to kill the Captain and others. You will be detained and lodged in prison for time, in order that we mny communicate with the English Government and ascertain whether your trial shall take place here, or elsewhere" At this time Mir. Clifford the of the vessa, then in com mand, the Captain being shore, under the care of physician, addressed the Attorney General in the presence of the magistrates, against the boats being permitted to alongside of the vessel or that the negroes other than the nutineers should Dc put on shore. The Attorney General replied that Mr. Clifford had better make objection, but let chem 80 quietly
