Lexington, Ken. April 7.—A gentleman in New Orleans writes his friend in this place, that a motion has been made in their legislature who are now in session, to loan $20,000 to Mr. Jefferson during his life without interest, which will no doubt pass, as the French population of Louisiana, give to Mr. Jefferson all the credit of their emancipation from the Spanish Yoke. It is also stated that there are at this time in New-Orleans, about eighty lawyers; the place cannot therefore stand in great need of a supply of that article.
