" Official leuers have been recently received from
Cencral Wilkinson and Lieut. Shaw, both at New

Orleans. General n has left the Sabine
and roe to New Orleans to de•end that place.
Colonel Cushing and the troops are matching after
him witi all possible wed. G- reral Wilkinson
writes, that unless he is teinferc,•d, New Orleans will
eeitainly fall before Colonel Barr. An attack is also
apprehended from below. The letters came by
water to Charlestnn, and thence by land. They re-
fer to other letters not yet received, ai,d hence it is
supposed, either that the mail has been sopped, or
that ‘ome treacherous postmaster opens all suspici-
ous tters. General Wilkinson and Lieut. Shaw
give the same information. The leans are dated
November 28."
