THE SAN ANTONIO.

who says that while on board he often
heard the officers speak Of the capacity
Of the ship TO becomes pirate, and the
chance afforded by that life Of obtaining
speedy fortunes. They were indignant
at the Government for not affordiug the m
money and supplies; that the crew knew
nothing Of the disaffectiOn of the officers
while he was on board; and that the Cap
tain at one time said ifhe were pirate
be would blow every thing into atoms
before he would he taken. What gives
the story degree Of authenticity, was
the knowledge Of it in Boston, long be-

Federalism 10 the treachery which served
the cause of England; and its hatred of
the patriotism which risked everything
for the cause Of the country.
But the pretext of this relucianc0 TO
restore TO Gen Jackson his own, is in
keeping with the hidden motive which
ever actuates Federalism. AT bottom, this
will always be found impregnaled by
British Observation-Disclosures TO hurt

by birth and at hearty and his accompli-
ces, Loualler and Blanc, was made the
pretence for opposition to the restoration
of the money taken from Gen Jackson. =
And to excite sympathy for them. and
justify their conduct, it was continually
asserted by Federalists in Congress, that
the arrest of these men, and the removal
of the Judge beyond the lines, were acts
Of wanton tyranny; that the British had
left the coast, and that the General knew
they had no further designs on New Orr
leans. The following letter OF Gen Je
sup Communicated 10 Col VIM. o. But
ler, Of Congress, and by the latter to US,
for publicalion) proves conclusively Gen
Jackson's forecast in maintaining his
means Of defence after The repuIse Of the
enemy. On the first rumor Of peace, he
applied TO the British General for ces
Sation Of hoslilitiss. II was refused.-
The reply was, that until the British
General had received official intelligence
Of The ratification of peace, there could be
no cessation Of hostlities. At this moment
LoualIer and Blanc were exciting mutt
ny among the militia, and had induced
somO Of them 10 abandon the defence of
the pass Chief Menteur and Villery's ca
nal-important points which guarded the
advance to the city.
And does il not show Gen Jackson's
{ forecast, his prudence and patriotism that
he at once resisted, and the most de.
cisive manner, the efforts Of The disalfect-
ed in New Orleans, who held high sta.
tions; and SO prevented the disbandon-
ment Of the force necessary TO save the
city in case a second attempt should be
made TO seizs it? None can read Gen.

Jackson's wisdom and energy iu:the main.

the British force hovered on the coast;
AMI especially in the decisive step he
took TO rebuke the disaffected d within his
lines, whose Vaccinations threatened to
disband his army, while thst unConqueT.

seems evident from the CORES pOndence,
which was exhibited at the trial, between

These faithful agents wrote to lglehart
