It is pretty generally known in the city (New York) that the ship Leander which cleared out 8 or 10 days since for Jacmel was not in reality bound for Hayti. Having taken on board a very large quantity of naval stores, artillery and ammunition, a considerable number of artisans, and several military characters, it was conceived by many that she was destined for some other quarter. From a correct source we learn that she is bound for a port in the Gulf of Mexico: probably New Orleans.
The Dons in that quarter, as well as elsewhere, are very insolent.
