NEW YORK, MARCH 26.—The following very
important information was obligingly communi-
cated to us this morning, by the Hon. JoHN

Tuefday evening. Two days before he left the
Seat of Government, which was on the ig.th
difpatches had been received from Mr. LIVING-
Eros', our Ambaffador at Paris, in which it is
Rated, that in confequence of a diplomatic note
prefented by him on the fubjed of the late irregu-
lar proceedings at New Orleans, he received affu

and good will. The French Minifler further af-
fured Mr. Livistossros that as loon as the FIRST
Consul. arrived (he was expelled in Paris next

belonging to the Brigand army were taken by the
French, and inftantly that. It is thought that, if
the Blacks on this occafion, could have got their

have been inevitable. At Tortuga the maffacre

LETTER rams N. PICHON, CHARGE D'AFTAIRES OF
Tilt TRENCH REPUILIC TO THE GOVERNOR OF
His CATHOLIC MAJESTY, AT LOUISIANA.
(Communicated to the Secretary of State.)
George Town near Wahine= City, March tl, tgoj.
Sir—The Marquis D'Gauto has communicated to me the
contents of the difpatches which be has iuft received from your
Excellency, and from the Intendant of his Catholic Majelty,
at the province under your command, in snfwer to thole which
he wrote to you in relation to the Tate fufpenfion of the right of
depoSt conceded to the United States at New Orleans. The
Marquis De Glick' o ands burden' necennated again to memo-
*rate to your Excellency on that fubjedit. I avail mire"( of the
opportunity to beg of you, Sir, in the name of the French Go-
vernment, whole interefts are implicated in this cafe, maturely
to confider the alarming confequeottes which may refult if the
Intendant mould perfift in his maitre& The intelligence
whirl has been tranfmitted to this Marquis De Gaups has at
knit made it appear indubitable that the mature alluded to
was exclufively grounded on the perfocal opinions of this oil-
ers, and fupportod by no order from his Catholic Majoity, or
any intimation from the French Government. This Informa-
tion, while it fermis from fufpicion the difpolitions of both
Governments, and lays entirely on the Intendant the erode.
games of the prefent Rate of things, does not, however, re-
move the apprehenfious which that Rate is calculated to excite.
There advlces,Sir,give an additional force to the remonftrances
which, for my part, and in the anticipated =Deletion which I
entertained that thefe meafures bad a cede merely local, I
bad no hefitation lately to addrcfs to the authorities, hourly ex-
po:tot of the French Republic at New Orleans, under cover
to the Intendant. So prof ng arc the circumftances, that I
dean It my duty to renew thefe remonßrances, and to entreat
your Excellency to exert your fuperior authority to prevent the
tronfequences which the prolongation of the prefent order of
things may produce.
It will not efeape your notice, Sir, that France, being now
notoriosay the proprietor of Loulfians, and the authorities of
Ids Catholic Majelty =ending in this Colony at prefect, only
an intermediary power, any nveafure having a tendency to
clearance France, on whom the odium and the eonfequenees
of what has been done, vifibly fall, ought, was its juftice and
ha Imbibed; doubtful only, to be fufpended; °thermic France
may And herfeN commuted, and her relations with the United
States materially changed without her content. I enter ir -0
no
farther details with your Excellency, being fathfied that
they would be lop 'sous. Your Excellency will be aware
that the preen is a shed critical moment. In the condi= of
two authorities, one of which =intakes to initiate a conßruc-
Goo of treaties which may lead to war, it fortunately happens
that the paramount authority, which b =dated,/ entrulted
with the prefcrvation and fafcty of the Colony,la of an opinion
oyfesLted to maintain peace. In fuch an alternative, Sir, your
Excellency ought to heState no longer In ding your power to
prefer= this peace. If it should be dilharbed, the relponfibility
of the event mutt inevitably fie upon your Excelleucy. His
Catholic Majeßy, who is in tome waft= guarantee to France
for Louifiana, until France ball have occupied it, would have
to blame you for not having taken the niedures neccEary to
fulfil that guarantee towards his Ally.
The contents of the letter, Sir, will, I am confident, be fully
paired to yourEacellency by the exiting eircandbuseee which
the Marquis De GRUJO, in behalf of his Court, willidoubtkfs
make known topes more particularly. It only remains for
me, therefore, to pray your Excellency to accept the affluence
of my refpea and high enedideration. (Signed) L. a. miaow
His Excellency the Governor of His Catholic
Moja', in the province of Louifiana.
