DISCONTENT IN LOUISIANA.

bioSoN EN- i in LOUISIANA.
We fome days ago laid before our readers an
extract OF letter from New-Orleans, reprefent
ing certain iubjeets which were to become the
grounds Off remembrance to Conprefs. I.et-
ters and papers to a fubfcquent date to tina, ex.
tract, confirm it in all its particulars, and fnrnfh
us with the proceedings on the fubice. g.
cond meeting of the inhabitants was held on the
! sth July, at which ]. Etienne Bore acted as
Prehdent and MIR. Robelot, as fecretary. The
Prehdent, as chairman of the committee prev;.
Gully appointed to draft the remembrance. adj
drefled the meeting in a fpeech of fome length.
melting his hearers to unanimity, and perfever.
ance IN the meafures they were purifying. SIEVE.
raj reiolutions were then adopted one. autho-
rifing committee to diftributc the remon-
france throughout the country, & to obtain IN
1t the names OF all the inhabitants friendly to tic
| object another calling on the fubfcribers for
voluntary contribution 10 tefray the expences
OF the deputies who were to bear the repreG,r.
tation to congrefs.
| ballot alto took place for the mott fuitab,e
characters for this milton upon which if an
Peared, that M. Derbigny had III votes, M.
Deftrehar los, and M. Saure CT, and were acco-.
dinghy declared elected.
The committee of remembrance again add-ec.
fed the meeting.-
This addrefs conhfted principally of ketch
of the duties expected to be performed bv the
deputies 1t begins by faying, &c on the iiIi,e of
their embally depends principally the fl,ure
definy of our country :" and then obfervcs.
C not that we expect that your committee will
be admitted into the auguf prefence of con-
grefs to plead the caufe of their fellow citizens.
Tor this we cannot pretend to hope. But in the
particular circles where they will find members
of the Legislature, they will have to anfwer cuef-
tons, to ditcufs their rights, and TO prove that
they are legitimate" Hence they infer the ne.
| ceihty the deputies being men of talents, and
Poliefiing extenive political information. They
fhould alto, it is obferyed, be men without afec-
tation or prefumption ; &c for" fsys the COM
! mittee, remember that they are to appear in
the prelence of the Firfs Magiarate of America,
an Luxurious tage, philosopher, legislator, a
dIttingWlhed itateiman, who will! Judge agreea-
bly, to ftrid policy, and whole modefy would
be wounded, and not fattered, by the appear
ance of thew or arrogance"
| Such is the nature of the PROCEEDINGS of Mr..
| Jeierion'S newly adopted brethren. II does not
appear that many Of the Americans of New Or
leans either join in or appreciate them. As far
as the publications go, the meafure has origina-
ted, aud IS Imported excluiivcly by Frenchmen.
What VIII be the iifue of the Remembrance, cam
not now be conieetured. This however muft
be evident to every mans fenfcs, that unlefs
Mr.. Jefferfon acts on this location, with more
than his ordinary prudence and irmncfs, he
will be precipitated into a labyrinth of difficult
ties, ruinous to himieif, and highly injurious to
the country.
