NEW ORLEANS. It was, however, attacked by the enemy in the course atilt! night succeeding the landing, when, after an obstinate conte!st, the enemy were repuls ed at all point‘ with considerable loss. On the morning of tire 25th, Sir Edward Pak enham arrived, and assumed the command of the army. On the 27th, at day-light, the troops moved forward, driving the' enemy's picquets to witifin six miles of the town, when the main body of the enemy was discovered strongly pf—terl behind a breast-work extending about 1000 yards, with the right resting on the Mississippi, and the left on a thick wood. The interval between the 27th December and the Fth January, era;' employed in preparation for an attack upon the Enemy's position. The attack Av hie}, was intended to have been made on tie night of the 7th, slid not, owing to the difficulties expe rienced in the passage of the Mississippi by a corps under Lieutenant-Colonel Thornton, which ..vas destined to act on the right hank of that ri ver, take place till early on the morning of the The division to whom the storriting of the . Enemy's position was • entrusted, moved to the litrark at that time, but being too soon tisrovered by the Enemy, were received with a galling and severe fire from all parts of their line. Major-General Sir E. Pakeoliam, who had placed himself at the 'head of the troops, was unfortunately killed on the crest of the glacis ; and Major-Generals Gibbs and Keane were nearly at the same moment borne off wounded. The effect of this upon the troops caused a hesitation in their advance, and though order was restored by the ark ance of the reserve under Major-General :Lambert, to whom the command of the army had devolved, and Colonel Thornton had succeeded in the Operation assigned to him on the right bank of the river, yet the Major-General,/ ttpoz• consideration 'of •the difficulties which yet remained to 'be surmounted, did not think himself justified in ordering a renewal Of.the at tack ; the troops, th ere f ore , retired to the.posi tion which they had occupied previous to the at tack. In that pnsition they retrained till the evening of the 18th, when the whole of the wound ed, with the exception of 80 (whom it was con sidered dangerous to remove), the Field Artillery, and all the Stores of every description having been embarked, the Army retired to the Head of the Bavone, where the landing .had been originally eaecred, and re-embarked without .molestation. The Major-General speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the Officers and Tro.ops,eiu plOyed, and of the cordial co-operation reudered by the Navy.

Lord MONTrORT brought up a Petition front Purtsokeu Wald, signed hi,- 950 persons, against the Corn Earl STANEfOPE brought op Petitions against the Bill from the Liberty of Saffron-hill, from Corsbatn., and one from Bristol, signed by upwards of 4,000 names. He ob served, that all those petitions contained matters of much importance, lint that the strongest reasoning was is the pe tition from Peterborough, which called on the Lvgistature to ease the farmer, by taking off the agricultural taxes. ' This, he was convinced, was th e right point of the dithelilty. The Dtik'of LE/NSTEM hrou4ht tip a Petition from the County of.Kiiciare, in Ireland,, praying for the protection of agriculture:.—Adjvurned. HOUSE. OF COMMONS. CORN PETITIoNS. APetition was presented from the County of Donegal, in' favour of the Corn Regulations. A Petition to the same effect was prlsente.3 by Mr. D. BROWN, .from the County of 'CIL:re. This Petition also prayed for due protection to the Linen Manufattur.% Petitions against any alteration in the Corn Laws, were presented from Wisbeach, Dursley, Margate, Darlaston, ithristehurclr, Dutofermline, Lewes, baling, Old Brantford, St. Mary, Paul, Shatiwell, Waoi of Parriugdon Within, the Borough of St. Albans, St. Mary Magdalen, Beg numdsey, the Wa r d o f W.:lhroolt, Worcester, iitherstone, dud Horsham. Mr.- BsEIIIG presented a Petition against the Corn Bill, -front Carlisle, signed by about 6.000 persons, forming about two-thirds of the whole population of the place. The Petition, he ought to state, in addition to the prayer against the Bill, contained also a prayer against granting any fur ther advances to the Board of Agriculture, which the Petitioners considered as only a public nuis ance. The Petition likewise, though it did not directly pray for a Reform in Parliament; rt mentioned the opinion of the Pt titloners, that if this BM were to pass in opposition to the decided —to .the known wishes of the great body of the nation, it would then clearly appear, that the state of the representation was such as to be altogether insufficieut to afford protection to the great bulls of the people. It would undoubtedly, be a strong argument to show the insufficiency of the repre sentation for the protection of the ma's of the population, if their voice, so unequivocally de clared, were to be attended with so little effect. The Petition having been delivered in and read, Sir JAMES GRAIIAm' observed, that he had, for the space of twelve months past, been making every enquiry in his power into the condition of the agricultural interests, and lie could now state, that it would be perfeCtly satisfactory to a grat body of: landholders, if the average price were fixed at 72 shillings, so as to give 80 shillin g s for the very best wheat. (Ilear, hear!) This was the opinion likewise of a great. many impartial surveyors whom be had consulted—ot surveyors judging what was a fair and proper state of things as between the several classes of the community, sand not merely considering how the rents of the landlords could be carried to the highest pitch.-- The landholders to whom lie alluded, had, there fore, been not a little surprised to find the ave. rage fixed at e i g h ty s hilli ngs. Was the price o f labour to be reduced one third, and yet the price of grain to be kept up so as to press so heavily upon the manufacturing interests ? Were the - -most valuable and the most workmen to be driven- out of the country by this unneces sary pressure ?-s-for if this regulation were to be persisted in, he was convinced that the effect Would be to drive them to France and Flanders, or wherever they could find provisions at a mode rate rate. It was hardly possible, indeed, that without a considerable diminution by emigration, they - could exist here under such circumsteoces.— . It bad been said, that Corn could not be raised on such places as Dartmoor or Black:leatii limier 151. per acre; and that the acre only gave three guar `ters of wheat: but was that a fair or proper cri terion -? in such a place it might be necessary to lay 2000 loads of earth or soil on every acre, and the expellee of cultivation must, therefore, be extravagant. But was it fitting that the price should be kept up, so as to render it a pro fitable employmeot to raise wheat on such ground ? This measure w as i n f act c hi e fl y pro moted-by those who had large tracts of land not properly applicable to the purpose of producing bread coma. The owners of such lands wished to keep. the -price at such a high rate that it would be worth while to apply them - to the purpose of raising wheat. With this object there were many II of the greatest landholders in the country had nothing to do ; and, therefore, did not wish that the average should be fixed at so high a price. He knew that in ,sotne places wheat was even now selling at the rate of 10 shillings per bushel. Mi nisters and the House ought to be well satisfied that they were in the right before they gave their sanction to a measure of this nature. It might be improper to abandon a good measure, merely because there was a clamour against it ; hut it %vas surely no argument iii favour of passing - a bad measure that it was opposed by the great mass of the conununity. The proper plats would be, to appoint a Committee to examine the most re spectable and impartial surveyors, and not those who were employed for the purpose of r a i s i ng the landh o ld ers ' rents. His firm belief wa s , t h at 72 shillings was the full amount of the proper average-. • Mr. }'arcs? stated, that h e had letters from 1 several landholders, stating that they had no desire to have the average fixed so high. Sir J.
