NEW ORLEANS, APRIL 19,--General WILKIN-
soN arrived this day. He was received with all the
pomp and studied parade- imaginable., The whole
of the regular troops turned out to meet him, and
yesterday marched several miles below the city, but
returned without seeing h:tn. To-day they again
turned out, and he deigned to make his appearance;
the cannons roared ; the bells rung; Ali the militia
officers turned out, (for you must know that tho' we'
have no militia, we- have a great number-of officers,
who appear, on all great occasions, in great style,
to eat gingerbread and drink wine,) in short, NA-
POLEON himself could not have been recei,ed here
with more parade. All the man-worshippers in the
city, went out to meet him. The reign of ter-
ror and alarm has already commenced., An order_ has seen already issued for 590 men to be.in readi-
ness to march this day, with • ten days provisions;
but I doubt whether they will ever match, except
to another camp, a little distance up the river.
• LEXINGTON, APRIL' 22.—The lollowilig is an
extract of a letter to a Gentleman in this place, dated
St. Louis, April 5.
. •" We are at present in a state of alarm. The
Sankiers, loways, Fox, and formerly mortal enemies
of the Usages, have now joined, and threaten de-
_strudion. to us all.. They stole a dumber of horses
from the neighbouring farmers, a few days ago,- and
party of mounted riflemen have gone' in pursuit of
tits. m

" Governor LEWIS has ordered out 140 riflemen
to march immediately for the defence of Fort Beße
Vue, near-the river De Moin.
" The works are every incomplete, not having
had time-to build a block-house', or finish their
pickets. Lieutenant PRIOR arrived here from the.
above place, a few-days agci, add-from his report, we
fear their small garrison will be butchered before a'
reinforcement can get up. Wehave very little appre-
hension here, as we can raise a respectable force in
a tew hours.
"..Should they. attack us in force, we may pro-
bably be obliged to request a reinforcement from the
Big Knives, friendly Indians who have come in,
say that several Bad Birds are about the villages."

•
An -accident of the most horrid description oc-
curred at the Cape of Good Hope. Three British
Officers from. the Garriion, having gone out on a
party of pleasure to the Table Mountain, were over-
taken by tho.night. Before they. could • regain the
plain, they lost their track, wandered, and separated.
One of them with much difficulty, at length found
his way into the town but no intelligence hav-
ing.been received of his companions, a.party went
Out in search of them. They were both found at the
foot of a prodigious precipice, crushed and mangled
in the most dreadful -manner. Otte of them, an
Aide-de-Camp to Lord C44DON, had al!'eady ex-
pired, and the other was just at. the point of death.
Both of these-unfortunate sufferers were men in the
prime of life; and. most promising officers.'
