A letter from New Orleans, of 27th Jan. thus notices the public feeling, expressed on their deliverance from the invasion of the enemy:
"On Tuesday we celebrated in as splendid a manner as possible, our victory and the defeat of the enemy, by the performance of the Catholic religious ceremony of Te Deum, at which General Jackson assisted; and a procession of ladies honored him with a triumphal arch erected in the square, in front of the church, through which he had to pass in his way to the city, where he was received by the city volunteer corps and eighteen virgins, representing the 18 States; and, in passing through the arch, he was crowned by two infants representing the goddesses of Liberty and Justice. The remainder of the day was spent in hilarity; and in the evening an illumination and public ball took place."
