%TEFR JACKSOPTS PINE. We have received from Washington the Report of the Committee on the Judiciary, to whom was referred so much of the President's Message as related to tho refunding tli$ fine imposed upon Gen. JACKSON.
W.e had scarcely been aware, until reading this able document, of t!:c full character of the outrage committed by Gen. JACKSON, ,, which ted to the fine imposed by Judge HALL. "The report is very able, showing that the committee had fully investigated the merits of the case. And we have to regret thut its length musj exclude an insertion in our col* twins.
It seems that Gen. JACKSON still kept up
N* martial law at Now Orleans after he knew that a treaty of peace had been concluded. Afler the receipt of this news ho still con tinued martial law, and to enforce military dis* cipline, not upon the soldiers merely, but up-'^-on citizena, exempts, and alien friends—susfl

French subjects, many of whom had assisted
to defend tho State, drew forth a publication
in. the Louisiana Courier. {This communica tion was ascertained to be the production of Mr. LOOAL^IER. This gentleman had just Jbeci) ono of the most active members of the Louisiana Legislature, in adopting measures for*the support of the militia, and defence and protection of the State and Country. Mr. LOVALLIRR was immediately arrested by A military force, and by the order of Gen. JACK
RON, committed to prison^ And all this after peace had been concluded, for daring to commont upon some of the General's proceedings. Nq.xt is the imprisonment of Judge HALL for ^-ordering a writ of habeas corpus. All must submit to the General's arbitrary authority
The history of the case as presented in jts details by the committee, shows conduct of tlbo most tyrannical character on the part of Gen. JACKSON. Tho Report will probably set the matter at rest In conclusion the Com mittee say
The convloc^ons to which the committee have come are, that martial law was declared at New Orleans by General Jsckson without law. and in violation of the
Constitution or tbe United States that its continuance up to March 14, 1815, was not only unsanctioned by law, but not excunbie by necessityi tbat the arrest and imprisonment of Loua'hcr fdr, publishing an articie tHo Louisiana Courier, was & violation of that right of tbo citisen to discuss without fear the conduct of those A in power, which is inseparable Irbwi the idea or a free
Mtmle, and a revival of the wont features of the sedi--don law that his trial by a court martial was in viola- ,. tton bT the laws of the United States, sod of tbe State
Louisiana. Which exempted him from all military aervictn that bis trial bv officers of the regular army Was in violation or the law of the United States, which required, if tried at all by a court martial, tint it should bo composed of militia officer* that his detention after hie acquittal by the court martial was a dangerous and dcepotie exercise of power that General Jacfc»on refusal to obey the writ of habeas corpus, and Ms imprisonment of tho judte. was a violation of the meet aaered right of the citisen, oT the express provision of tliaConstitution, and of.tbe judicial indweodence, and, together with his setwrs ofan onainat court paper, was a contempt of court for which hs they have been foreed

We notioe in the last "Courier" (which is now Mr"' EWLIO S official organ to aUnder those who defend the interests of the Canal) a letter from tbe Knox Senator,in which we are abused in the usual style o{ that snarling demagogue-—Wabath Express.
The Editor of tho "Express" cun't keep quiet, however the admouitions of former attacks upon us, ought to whisper some gentle warning in his car. It is true he is afraid to make any. direct charge—but sneaks behind some little mean insinuation, which he dares not bring forward in full relief.
The Editor talks about official organs.— Now it is possible that this man*s ideas are running so constantly upon ifficial organs and official patronage, that really there may be no room in his capacipns brain,. fgr any thing that has not the spoils of office connected with it.
The Editor of the "Express" pretends to be a peace-maker, and professes a desire not to provoke quarrels, &c. If he wishes to carry out such precepts, we advise him not to repeat a second Jime, the insinuation that the "Courier" is an organ to slander those who defend the into rests of the Canal. wr

Decision of tke Court of Knqniry on Commander McKenzie's Case. U. S. SHIP NORTH CAROLINA. .•! JAMOAR* 20th 1843. .» Prttent.
Commodore CHARLES STKWABT, ,s Commodore JAOOB JOKES* Commodore ALEXANDER J. DALLAS, OGDEN HOFFMAN, Judge Advocate.
The Court after due deliberation,, resolve to rqmrt tbe facts and circumstances of the case submitted to them, and to deliver their opinion on the/acts BS follows:
In execution of the order of the Hon. Secrettiry of the Navy, the Court, with the exception of ten of the crew, who are in confinement, examined every officer, seamen, and apprentice, belonging to the United States, Brig Bomers, in her late cruise, and unanimously is-~ port the following facts as proved to th« satisfaction of the Court by the testimony, the record of Which they have the honor herewith to submit.
That on the 27th November, 1842, in lat. 13 24 16, and longitude 41 24 45, Commander McKenzie discovered that a mutinyhad been organized on board the brig Somers.
The Court further finds that such mutiny did exist, and that Midshipman Philip Spencer, Boatswain's Mate Samuel Cromwell, and Seaman Elisha Small, were ringleaders in it, and that othersof the crew had a knowledge of its existence and participated in its guilt.
That oa the 27th November ^Midshipman Spenper
was affrested artd confined in irons, that On the subsequent day Boatswain's Mate Cromwell and Seaman Small were also confined in irons, and at the time that!
they were so confined it was the intention of Comraan der McKensje to bring them to the United States to be tried bv the laws of ineir country, and that to effect tiiis object, Commander McKenzie adopted every measure that a brave,prudent, and skilful officer could a* dept. That during thfc confinement of the prisoners, sullenness, discontent, inattention to duty, disobedience to orders, often as seamen know, and naval record» prove, the sole precursors to openracts of violence I and blood were manifested by the crew, and justly excited the belief in the Commander and tbe omccrs that an attempt would be made to rescue the prisoners' and take the brig from those to whom She had been entrusted by the Government.
The Court further find, that ihero was no place oft board I he Brig which wonld have given greater »mm at pwteeftwg the,, issi'iijis WUr the quarter tleek on which ihey were confined
CCTher6ourt
Kifth'er find.that the eotfducf ofComman-
dcr McKenzie had l«en kin4to his crei their witHts, and their cornfojf|B, that he knowledge'of
i.rprottiote thlir knowledge of thetr that no punishments were inflicted greater thanwera rendered necessary by the discordant nature of the crew, and tbe proper discipline of a man of war-
Opinion.
The Court are, therefore, of opinion, That a mutiny had been organised on board tbe u* nited States brig Somers, to murder the officers and a os on
That Midshipman Philip Spencer, Boatswaui Mate Samuel Cromwell, and S*aman Elisha Small, were
concerned in, and guilty of such mutiny That had not the execution taken place, an attempt
roujd have taken the officers, at That such aVtempt, had it ifen made in the night, or during a squall, would, in the judgment of tha Court, from the number and character ofthe crew, the small aise of the brig, and the daily deeraasmrstrengtb of the offieers.occaaioned by almost «nstant watchioK and broken slumbers, wonld have been sucwssiaj.
That Commander McKenzie. under these circumstances, was not bound to risk the safety ol his ^vesself and jeopard the lives of the young officers, and tbe loyal of his crew, in order to secure to tbe guilty tbeforms of trial, and tbat the immediate execution of tin mm oners was demanded by duty and josttfied by neeeesity.
The Court are further of opinion, tnat throagboot all these painful occurrences, so well calculated ro d» turb the judgment, and try the energy of the bravest and most experienced officer, tha conduct of Commander McKenzie and his officers, was prudent, calm, ami firm, and that he and they, honorably performed than duty to the service and their epuniyy' (Signed) CHARLES STEWART,
The Charleston Courier, after expressing its regret at perceiving that "there is Ifttle er no chance of a visit of Mr- Clay to that city,** the following very significant remarks: ^•This is the more to be lameoted, as frocfl *the turn that political matters have been re* "cently taking, it may have been particularly "opportune that Mr. Clay should have min"gled with our people and partaken of their "hospitalities. For we verily believe that if «we fail in giving to the Presidency, the great "statesman of the South, few Sooth Caroli•'nians would be found unwilling to take "a "brave, bold, gallant, high-minded man of 'genhw^such a man, for instance, as Hss&i «Ct.AY," for their second choice."
Tlie Court further find that tbe conduct of Comman- Cutting done at tbe shortest notice, and warran der McKenzie, Lieutenant Gansevoort and the officeis fit ir made-up right. of the brig, was, during the trying scenes through Terre-Haute, February 23, i843-25-t» whicli they passed, collected, calm nnd brave, and justilled the confidence reposed in them by their country.
