A letter from New Orleans says : " Senor

Both parties: keep as quiet: as circumstances will

Mary Ann Whiting, wit, of Andrew Dominic Whiting

taken my boort and shawl off I looked at the clock end saw
that it we a quarter past twelve. I went into the

wind the door, and saw the prisoner at the door stand-
ing there on the pavement. He said, " I went • glass of ale

close te him, and had a full opportunity of see-
ing him. I took particular nodes d him, and my

remained two or three minutes. On leaving my house, he
turned to the left and crammed the road, and than turned 00
