Full Text

By the Mars from New-Orleans, which she left the 7th ult. we learn that the dispatch boat from our government had reached there previous to her departure. And the Intendant so far from relaxing or regarding the recommendation of Chevalier D'Yrujo to restore the right of deposit—treated his interference with the utmost contempt, and persisted in his conduct with unabated rigor. It is further stated, that no other opinion was entertained at New-Orleans, than that the Intendant was acting from positive instructions from his Court which were considered as originating with France. That both political parties at Natchez (which he left the 9th of Jan.) were in favor of redress, and were fully persuaded with the inhabitants of New-Orleans, that the executive would enforce the restoration of our rights.
