Affidavit of Lawfcnee Clark in the case of
Paw I. 'Ogden.
Ccrwr. of 'Ok_f._. s, ss.
Personally before me, Lewis Kerr, one
of the justices a.«i;;ued to keep the peace
in and for the said county, appeared Law-
rence Clark of the same place, merchant,
who being duly sworn on his oath, saith
that Peter V. Ogden, late of the city and
State of New-York, merchant, and a native
citizen of the United States, is now in con-
finement and imprisoned on board ot the
United States bomb-ketch Etna, this depo-
nent having there seen him in custody this
day, which said ketch is now at anchor and
lying in the river Mississippi opposite the
city of New-Orleans, and within the limits
of the said county, and that as this deponent
is informed and hath reason to believe, and
doth verily believe, the said Ogden there rs-
mains in the immediate custody of lieuten-
ant Jones, but under the command and con-
trol and within the power and subject t.j -he
orders of capt. J hn Shaw, of the U. States
navy, now in the said county being, & that
as this deponent is advised and believes, the
said Ogden is so detained without any lavv-
I ful cause whatever. ^^^^^^^^^^^™
From the Boston Repertory.
Dr. Park,
I send you an extract faithfully translated
from " the catechism established for the use
of all churches in the French empire, and
so established by the Archepiscopal authori-
ty." It may amuse some of your readers.
A. A.
Mrtract from the Catechism, published for the
use of Churches in the French emprie. .
Question. What are the duties of chris-
tians towards the princes by whom they are
governed, and in particular towards ourem-
perour Napoleon I ?
Answer. All christians owe to the princes
ty whom they are governed, and we, in
particular, owe to our emperor Napoleon
I, respect, obedience, love, fidelity, mi-
litary service, tributes ordered for the pre-
teivation of his empire and his throne ; we
owe him also fervent prayers for his safety
and for the spiritual and temporal prosperi-
ty of the state. »%
Q. Why are we bound in such duties to-
wards our emperor, i
A. First, because God, who creates em-
pires,- and distributes them at his pleasure,
by dispensing his blessings in peace and in
¦war to eu.r emperor, has confirmed him as
our sovereign, and has established him as
the mirtistefof his power and as his image
vpon earth. To honor and serve pur empe-
j'OV .is the same ?as to honor and serve God
liijaselr*. Secondly ; because our Lord Je-
sus Christ himself, both by his doctrine and
Ins example, has taught us what we owe to
our rulers.
Q. Are there not other more particular
motives by which we should be more strict-
ly bound to Napoleon our emperor.
A. ' Yes ; because God has raised him
lip in such trying times, for the purpose of
le-eslablislling the holy worship of our an-
cestors, and to be the protector of our sa-
cred religion ; because he has brought back
and preserved public order ; by his profound
«nrj energetic wisdom ; because he defends
the empire by his powerful aim ; because he
.has beeome the Lord's annotated, by means
of the consecration which he has received
fiom the sovereign pontif the chltf of the u-
niycrsal church.
Q. What are wc to think of those who
fail in liiese duties towards our emperor.
A. Thai according to the apostle St.
Paul, Ibey resist the decree established by
God himself, <.n:! render themselves sdbject
to cht'Hal d.v:i:a:ion.
Copies and abstracts of certain letters and
official documents, presented by judge'
Workman to the house of representatives
of the territory of Orleans, on the 13th
(Continued.)
To hrs excellency governor Claiborne.
Sir,
Not having received any answer to my
letter to your excellency of the 5th instant,
and considering your silence on the subject
of it as a proof in addition to those that
previously existed, that your excellency not
only declines the performance of you: duties
as chief magistrate of this Territory, but
actually supports the lawless measures of
it* oppressor, I have adjourned tmf court of
the county of Orleans sine die. And I took
this step without granting the attachment
sued for against general Wilkinson, for the
reasons alluded to in my late communication.
Had this process issued, and the general, in
pursuance of his menaces, made resistance,
the sheriff would then have been authorised
and required by law, independent of the
court to call the aid. of the posse cam mitalus.
The ruinous effects of that measure at. this
time—the confusion and destruction to
which it would probably have led, in conse-
quence of your excellency's refusal of your
legitimate support, are obvious to every
person acquainted with our present dreadful
situation, and will fully justify my conduct
in the opinion of every friend to my country.
"When your excellency shall think proper to
resume the legitimate authority which you
have abdicated, and be disposad to exert it
in support of the constitution and laws, I
shall then (if in my present office) cheerful-
ly resumejthe judicial duties which I am now
unable to perform.
I have the honor to be your excellency's
most obedient humble servant,
JAMES WORKMAN,
Judge of the county of Ofleans.

COUNTY OF OW.ANS, SS.
Lewis Kerr, being duly sworn, saith,
that the United States Bombketch, now in
the port of New-Orleans, called as this de-
ponent is informed and believes, the Etna,
is at anchor in the river Mississippi, at a
distance from the shore, in the stream and
ready for sea, and that as this deponent has
been informed and believes the said vessel
is about to depart from this territory within
a few hours, certain officers of the same hav-
ing received, as this deponent has been in-
formed and believes, orders to hold them-
selves in readiness for such denarture.

[The lively interest which this extraordinary

comes from the press, sanctioned by the effi-
