FURTHER OF THE LEANDER.
On the subject of the arrest of Mr. Ogden, as mentioned under the mail head, the last New-York Gazette, furnishes the following article:
Messrs. Lang & Turner,
I observe in your paper of this morning a paragraph stating that I was on Saturday last arrested by order of the government, and examined before the District Judge, respecting the destination of the Ship Leander, &c.
The paragraph further states, that my answer went "directly to implicate the government of the United States in the fitting out of the Leander."
I think it my duty to state, that in this particular, you have been misinformed.
That I was arrested by order of Judge Tallmadge, in a manner which I understand to be perfectly illegal, forcibly detained the whole day, denied the privilege of Counsel, and obliged to answer questions which I conceived improper and illegal is most certain: but in respect to the government I acted with extreme caution—I was not so much pressed on this head as on others.
S. G. Ogden.
