The command of the squadron on this station, devolves on captajii Leonard. Whilst commodore Shaw was in command here, his conduct as an officer and gentleman, was so'exemplary, that-it gained him the esteem of all who knew him, and he carries with him the love of his fellow-citizens.— We think he merits a higher rank than he holds in the service of his country. For the benefit of all concerned in vessels or barges, bound to or proceeding from New- Orleans— By the schooner Mary, captain Vrignaud, from Havanna, we learn, that new orders have been issued by the British board of ad- miralty, to detain and send in for adjudicati- tion all vessels destined as above mentioned, under the slightest circumstances of suspi- cion of their having French or Spanish pro- perty on board ; and the British government have done away all responsibility on the part of any captain of any ship of war or priva- teer, so that he is not personally responsible foi any damages by detention and trial, when the vessel and cargo shall be acquitted ; but government pays the expence : Hence vessels are liable to be detained and sent in on the slightest susfiicicn. To the Printer of the Orleans Gazette. N. H-OitLEANj, June 10. SIR, A publication appeared some time since in one of the northern papers, stating that I had procured in Canada, a traiterous letter written by Mr. Jefferson to Benedict Arnold, after his desertion. At that time I paid little attention to a story which I thought few would repeat,and was sure none could seriously believe— Lately, however, I have understood that the tale has been republished, and that my silence is cited either as an admission of the fact, or as a proof that I am not averse to its cir- culation. In either case it behoves me to declare that I never had any such letter in my pos- session ; and that I never heard of its exist- ence suggested but in the publication to which I allude. I am, Sir, Your most obedient servant, EDW'D. LIVINGSTON. From the Belfast Chronicle of May 30. MUTINY. It has been stated in accounts brought from the Mediterranean, that the crew of the American ship Eh'za Ann mutinied against the captain. They first tied his mate to a gun on the quarter-deck, and used him most cruelly. They pricked him with the cook's tormentors, beat him over the ribs with staves in the most shocking man- ner, and left him for dead. They also treat- ed the supercargo in the most cruel manner. They then attacked the master whom they struck a dreadful blow. His wife, with an infant in her arms, followed him ; he fell back, and she caught him crying, >' You have murdered my husband.'" The ruffians answered, " We will do for you by and bye." The wife gave her husband some liquor to drink, and he somewhat recovered from the stunning blow he received. When he recovered a little more, he sallied forth with pistols and sabre to disarm the villians. The mate and superco had by this time recovered sufficiently to aid him in this cou- rageous attempt. They knew they had to contend with cowards at heart, and by stra- tagem and determined bravery, they suc- ceeded in driving the mutineer-! forward,al- ter woundisg them, except the two ring- leaders. The Niger frigate, capt. Hiliyar, luckily soon afier fell in with the ship off Cadiz, in a gale of wind, boarded her, and then took the ringleaders out. The master was then lying dangerously ill — The Niger then sent an officer and 4 men on board to navigate . her to Gibraltar, where the mutineers will be brought to trial. The two ringleaders are. Englishmen born ; their names are John Cross alias Daniel Crosswricht, and Robert Warrington. The former has since given himself up as a deserter from his majesty's ship Warrior. The ehip had a great many dollars on board, with other treasure, of which they intended to plunder her. from the Richmond Enquirer. In the Virginia Herald, 30th u!t. I ob- serve a wanton aspersion upon my charac- ter- written by one of general Wilkinson's myrmidons, under the signature of Recrimi- nator, which is so mingled with scurrility and invective, that I feel myself absolved from every motive of delicacy whatever, as respects the character of gen. Wilkinson. How far I may have been an unworthy mem- ber of the grand jury, who presided upon the trial of col. Burr, I leave to an impartial and unprejudiced public to judge ; my con- duct upon that occasion gives an unequivo- cal contradiction to the motive that has been ascribed to me, of sympathy for col. Burr ; and I defy malignity itself to support the charge, of what has been very unwarranta- bly ascribed to me, of misrepresentation. I am very well aware of what I havesaid upon the inquiry that was made into gen. Wilkin- son's conduct by the grand jury, to support an indictment for high treason ; upon which question a vote was taken, and, if I am not greatly mistaken, there was a division of seven to nine ; and I am not sure that there was not an equal division ; of this last cir- cumstance I am not very certain. There was a motion for misprision of treason, as well as a motion for a violation of the con- stitution, upon all of which there was a ne- gative vote. It seems, indeed, as if the au- thor of Recriminator had been actuated by motives truly sordid and niggardly, or why has he attacked my political creed r it has never been dissembled ; I have uniformly avowed myself attached to the federal con- stitution, and am an admirer of the British government, and I trust I shall at all times be found true and faithful to tlie govern- ment under which I live. ' " The gentlemen who v ted in support of these motions were as well as I remember as fallows : John Randolph, William Daniel, L. 1>I'. Tazewell, John Bmclxnhrougl), R. B. Tavlor, Munford iieverly. James Garnctt. The above members gave their votes for treason, and as well as my memory serves me there was another vote upon this questi- on, which I think was John Ambler. For misprison of treason there were , as many votes, and for a violation <>f the con- stitution, I do pot remember the number. MUNFORD BEVERLY. irom tlte Virginia Gazette. In a controversy between general Wilkin- son or his iiriends and Mr. Beverly, I can certainly feel no dispositon to interfere. But as Mr. Beverly has chosen, in his statement of the inquiry into general Wilkinson's con- duct by the grand jury, to intrroduce my name into the newspapers, I deem it a duty to myself to relate briefly the facts of the case as far as they concern me. The very strange misconception involved in this affair I cannot comprehend, and I must therefore leave it to be explained by others. Whatever may be my impressions respect- ing general Wilkinson, I did not vote for presenting him on a charge of high treason, no vote on that question 'was taken by the grand jury, to my knowledge. On the motion to present him for'mispri- sion of treason, I was of opinion, after the discussion of the subject, that the evidence did not warrant the presentment, and con- sequently! voted against it. For his infraction of the constitution I voted to present him, because I thought the offence came completely within the jurisdic tion of the court of this district. JOHN BRO K.ENBROUGH. Richmond, 11th July, 1807. BOSTON, July 17. Loss of the schooner Charles. Letters from Portland, received in town, inform, that the schooner Charles, captain Adams, of Portland, bound from this port for Portland, in a thick fog, run on a reef of rocks, Richmond's Island, near Portland light house, on Sunday evening, when the sea made a fair breach over her ; and out of twenty fwo persons on board, sixteen wen- lost ! Among the persons drowned, whose names have reached us, are the following : Captain Adams, and wife (captain A,.with three men, got on shore about two o'clock, but overcome by the shrieks of his wife, at- tempted to regain the wreck, but failed, a d was heard to say, " I am gone," and was lost in the destructive element ;) Mrs. Rich ards. of Portland, and her two phildrei) (Mr. R. her husband, was saved :) Mr. Jo.-oab Hayden's wife and child; a sister of Mr. Richards, from Dedham ; and Mr. Rleazer Ally Jenks, of Portland ; lie had lashed himself to the shrouds, but died in that position, and was found hanging to them. All the ladies were lost Mr. Sidney Thax tor, one of the passenger-, am-.ed at P.inland at 9 o'clock, Monday morning, and states, that he left six persons clinging to the shrouds, foul men. one woman and a boy.

It is a most pleasing circumstance, that in the pul lie spirit which has been elicited by the late violation of our national sovereignty, party feuds have so generally yielded to patriotic sentiment. A miserable attempt was made in this town alone to confine the expression of the general feeling within the pale of party, by announcing an informal meeting in a newspaper, followed by a base p Oicription of one class of citizens. But the effort was discountenanced, and but few of any class attended. The town meeting yesterday was composed of thousands, and conducted on a correct and liberal plan. We hope this will be a useful lesson to those who might in future wish to enlist party interests ir. an affair of national concern.

REMARKS' That the foregoing article will be read with equal interest and indignation, we can- not far a moment doubt. That the aggres- sion "is such as might have been reasonably expected, we think none, who will take a review of the conduct of Spain towards us for the last three or four years, can deny. That it will be resented by our government, judging from the past events, there is but little room to hope. From the moment of the occlusion of the port of New-Orleans till the present mo- ment, Spain has treated us with uniform in- sult, outrage and aggression. She has withheld from us a large tract of teri .tory, which we honestly purchased and paid tor, and to which we are fairly entitled. She has entered our acknowledged territory, in the night time, and with an armed force car- ried oft our citizens. She has twice invaded our country with 3 strong military force, and ' did not abandon it until intimidated by an I opposing force. She has seized our citizens | it) the peacoahle pursuit of honest business, within our own territories, and under a strict military guard, transported them to one of hei distant posts, through a trackless wilderness. She has uniformly exacted art expiqkaat duty on the produce of the Amu» rican. soil, passing from one Anior'V:. 1: to another, and those exactions Il.a;: f place within the rightful turisdictfijoi of United States. She ha-; extended In- actions to public vessels of the Ur.i States, freighted with provision ply of their troops on the Tombi.g!>yf Si refused to let a detachment of ou* troop pass from one American post to ttrtotl though the waters thro' n hich we wished • pass, and the very fort which enabled th to enforce the refusal, are rightfully otn own, but which they are suffered unjustly tc detain from us—And now, not c litem with the exaction of exorbitant dulif:;, ¦ has seized the whole cargo of a vessel laden with arms, ammunition and military .stores, belonging to the Uniico States, Such is a part, and it is c n! < a part, ol the treatment we have received uoiii Spa and surely such treatment calls loudly for chastisement.
