' Extract of a letter from our correspondent at New-Orleans, dated March 8. ',' Turning to our political situation, I -*T-£ive to congratulate my fellow-citizens on °w emancipation from the most abject des- J^otism under which ever man groaned. -This day the battalion of volunteers is to be ^i-i-ocharged from actual service. This corps •¦las been retained in service at an unnecessa- :*~y expence, for no earthly purpose but to -*^-eep down the press. Both the American Sprinters are volunteers, and know full well, ^iiat if fhey dare to publish any thing not *~c_:lished by the general, a trial by a court- *=»^artial and military punishment, would be * Irte inevitable consequence. It is more than ^^vobablc that the system of terror would * * ave been kept up yet longer, had we not ¦*~>ave received the debate in the house of re- F"> resolutives of the United States, on the *^»»11 from the senate to suspend the Habeas ^— -orpus. Randolph told so many truths, *¦ »iat it struck our general with tenor, and -¦ s e began to relax. Yon will doubtless be ^P= Wnprised to learn, that in all the illegal ar- ¦*~ests that have been made, in all the odious ^^leasures adopted, Wilkinson has endeavor- I to ; 1,1.1, soiiie one between himself and He has compelled the volunteers - -o arrest their fellow-citizens ; and bas con- s» tantly deceived and made a cat's-paw of p-o»"i. J'oik (governor of East and ¦•-'Vest Florida) has fixed his head-quarters at where be has between 5 and j men, and is Actually empkyed in mak- - -- 'g preparations for defence, and the report ^ftihe day i-, (hat he expects an attack from —-wiaxaocLrc Sluw, whv it r»ow at N.;iclica i' ith his squadron. But no one can bcltevs that tie entertains any such expectations. It is also said, and I am inclined to believe with some truih, that Folk has ordered the dismantling of Pensacola, and is withdraw- ing all the troops from that place, with the artillery, to Baton Reuge. This conduct of Folk is as inexplicable, as the conduct of our general is mysterious." Extract of a letter from a friend in Ilagers- toivn, (Md.) dated March 30. " There was a ludicrous fracas at Beltzho- ver's tavern the other day between a couple of democratic gentry about the merrits of Mr. John Randolph. The parties were the redoubtable Matthew Lyon and major Car- roil of this vicinity. The major pushed his arguments home with a blow on Matthew's mouth, who, on his part, would have goug- ed, if he could. But the current setting against him, the congressman beat a preci- pitate retreat, and the affair ended with a presentment from the grand jury, by which his victorious antagonist was punished with a fine of five dollars. " If congress are' the servants of the peo- ple, it seems to lie hard too to punish a man for beating one of his own household." NORFOLK, *priU. About nine o'clock on Thursday morning, the Toll House on Coliey's bridge was per- ceived to be on fire ; and before any assist- ance could be had, was entirely consumed. We are happy to learn that the bridge,is very little damaged. It is generally suppos- ed, that a negro wench set fire to the house in the absence of the keeper. WASHINGTON CITY, April 10.

The schooner, Harriet, Butler, of Balti- more, and sloop Benjamin, Travers, of do. cleaied out from Charleston for Balti- more, on the 30th March. The legislature of Pennsylvania have pass- ed the law which authorises the making of a Turnpike Road from the Couawago Falls (on Susquehannah) to meet the York road from Baltimore, at the Maryland line. Died, on Wednesday last, in his 50th year, John Beckley, esq. clerk of the house of Representatives of the United States. He was born in Great Britain ; but, when only eleven years old, came, under the protecti- on of his uncle, to this country, where he has continued to reside ever since. Our contest with Great-Britain no sooner began to unfold itself, than, yielding to the most ardent impulses of patriotism, he toola an active part in it, and assumed the dis- charge of duties full of responsibility and danger, and particularly those of the Mayo- ralty of Richmond, a place assigned him, notwithstanding his youth, by the confi- dence of his fallow citizens, and at a period when the British army was overrunning the state of Virginia. Having been educated to the bar, he pur- sued that profession with reputation, so far as various public duties admitted, until the organization of the genera! government, when he was chosen clerk of the house of representatives, a place which he filled with rare, perhaps unprecedented distinction, with the intermission of a term of two years, until his decease His articulation was dis- tinct, his elocution commanding, and his parliamentary knowledge accurate and ex- tensive. But his highest distinction was his inflexible patriotism, and adherence to re- publican principles. Through the whole pe- riod of his life he pursued an unbending course. Devoted to the cause of liberty, much of his happiness flowed from its tri- umphs ; and the zeal, which prompted him in the ardor of youth, to resist external ty- ranny, remained unabated, during the more- mature period of life, against internal op- pression. Died on the 5th instant, in this city, J. W. Pratt, Esq. late deputy marshal of the District of Columbia. [Nat. Int.] The Americans of New-York, now that their indignation and alarm have subsided, and that they have had time to investigate truth, and examine into the dispositions and characters of the persons concerned, can- didly come forward to do justice to the Irish character, and say that they have as much cause to respect and do honor to the far larger as well as mort respectable por- tion of the Irish inhabitants, as they have to reprobate the„ few turbulent malcontents who would bring into this peaceful country the evil designs and practices which set their own in a flame ; and erect themselves if they could into a political body to check and controul the proceedings of the people to whom the land belongs. They think it fortunate, and fortunate it certainly is, that the intemperate presumption of that band should have disclosed itself so soon. And they very properly remark, that the re- solution moved 03^ a certain member of the Hibernian Provident Society, (not Mr.Em- mett, but a merchant, it is said,) to exclude from that society any of its members who should vote for a particular candidate at the ensuing election, displayed a temper, a spi- rit, design and conduct, so truly Jacobinical, as to give just cause for alarm. An exclu- sion from that society, as it stands, being in effect a confiscation of property, it was not an atom less vicious than a resolution to strip a man of his property, and take from him his house or his estate, if he voted con- trary to the imperious decree of the person who moved it ;—in fact robbing him of his free ^suffrage by a system of terror. Yet these are the men who would clamour for rights of suffrage--for the elective franchise and for freedom of opinion, and who would say that without freedom and unbiassed dis- cretion in the choice of representatives a go- vernment is but a mere despotism. This ne- ver will be forgotten nor can it be thought of without extcration.
