had been stopped, and not permitted to pass
the fort in consequence Of which she re-
turned 10 New-Orleans and made report
The above number of vessels was sent TO
convoy her past the fort. When they arriv-

mandant sent an officer 10 inform Capt. Balm

ed in the possession of that impoI tant place
to this countsy, by theSAmericans.
