Sir, ~
The Marquis d'Yrujo has commuri-
Gated 90 me the contents ofthe difpatches,
which he has juf received from your ex-
l.ncy. and from the Intendant Of his Ca
.holic Majefy in the province under your
command, in anfser TO tsoie which he
wrote, TO you in relation TO the late fuf-
pen6on of the right OF depohs conceded
20 the United States at New Orleans.
The Marquis d. Yrujo finds himielf
ncccilitated, again to remonllrate to Jour
Excellency on that fubjea. ] avail my
elfof the opportunity, 20 beg of you,
Sir,in the name of the French COVERT
nest, Whole intesefs are implicated in this
cafe, maturely 10 coniider the alarming
consequences which; may srefult, if the
Intsndant Mould perif in his measures.
The intelligence which has been tranflnit-
ted TO the marquis Yrujo has at laa, made
j, appear irduhitable thas the meaiure al
luded TO was excluhvely grounded or, the
rtfioLal opinions Of this officer and iup-
ported BY no order from his Catholic
Majefy, or any intimation from The
French government. This informa ton,
while i, fcrsens from fuipicion the diipoG-
items of both governments and lays en-
tirely en- the In,endant the consequences
Ofihe prefent fate of things does MOI how
ever remove the approximations which
ihat fate is calculated 10 excite. Theie
adyices, Sir, give an additional force TO
the remonftranees, which, for my part,
and in the anticipated conviction which
! entertained that theie meslures had a
saule merely local, had no he6tation, late
ly, 10 addrefs 20 the authorities, hourly
tYpetted,of the French Republic at New
Orleans, under cover TO the Insendant.
So prsihng are The circumstances, thar
deem 1t my duty TO renew thefe remon
FRANCES, and to intrear your Excellency
TO exert your hyperion authority, 10 pre-
vent rae confequences which the Prolon-
CATION of the preient order of things may
produce.
It will NOT efcase your notice, Sir,
hat France now being notoriouily the
Proprietor Of LouiGanna, and the autho-
mites of bis Catholic Msjety exercifng
m this colony, ar prelent, only an inter
ssdiaIy power, any meafure having al
tendency 10 commit France, on whom
.ae odium and the consequences Of whatI
sa' beendone viGbly fall, oughf, werel
ITS luRice and its lawfulnels doubtful
Only, to be fufpended otherwiie France
may find keIlelf committed, and theI
