despairing of success, We'contninally flatter our-
selves that 'the moment is not far off when the
wishes of the friends'Of the Church will be ful-
The delayiprohably only arise from private
incidents, independent Of the hasis of the princi-
pal Convention, on which it 'does not appear that
there has been any change of opinion.

The Journal de Paris publishes the following
extract of aletter from New Orleans, tyitl►,:t view
of discouraging emigration to America :
" New OiteeAgs, Nov. 5.-1, fulfil with real
pleaawe the promise wGich I made you of givitig
,Solim,letaik respecting this country, which I
was
so curious to know. The capital of Louisiana is
watch less considerable Onto 1 expected ; its Ito-,
Hokin is trout 22,000 to 24,000 souls, of whom
two thirds are negroes or mulattoes.
" Its siruatioo, in retrard to commerce, is tin-
. rivalled. The Mississipi is navigable for an ex-
tent
_of 800 leagues„ mid the Missouri, which
empties itself into that river, has a course of
• 1200 Leaves. The Red River- flows for 100
leagues on the side of Mexico.. In a worst, it is:
the outlet of a country as extensive as all Europe;
but it II only some lands- along the river that are
ialtabited, ntol, perhaps, halsitable. All the
tenor of the country is covered with impenetrable
forests, peopled only with savages: atsi wild beasts.
Tart savage tribes are even.in the close viei-
rtily of New OileitZte. Oa • the °dive aide of the

them : thot south, at 30 leagues distimee, we

the exception of a alight coveriuig to their loins.
