EAST LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.

by tie following paragraph, which we
lind in the Natchez Weekly Chronicle of
December 5, it will be seen that governor
Claiborne reached Natchez on the 50th ult.
and promptly proceeded to carry his instrue-
tons into effect.
A" his exeelIency governor Claiborne and
Major G.. 4. Russell, arrived at the canton
ment, Washington, from the seat Of govern
ment, on FIiuay last, and yesterday an or
der was issued for the embarkation and
movement ofthe army. A strong detachment
under col. Covington Will sail this day, and
the remainder, ANGER col. Pike, will follow.
with the least possible delay. 1t is under-
stood that the army viii be joined by gene
raj Hampton on tie river, who is hourly ey-
pected by way OF Newt Orleans, and from
whom they are to receive further orders ard
probably a Development OF the object of the
expedition. Ii is further said that governor
Claiborne has ordered out the whole body of
the militia of the Orleans Territory. and we
presume the detachment governor Holmes
holds in readiness from this territory, will
receive marching orders
The following article from the same paper
as the above is the latest information we
have from our southern frontier. 1t appears
possible at least that some blood NAV have
been split before the American forces, or e.
ven an intimation of their intention, shall
| have reached ths scene of action.

j WEST FLORIDA.

The Senate resumed the consideration of
the bill extending the laws now In force in Or
leans territory to the Perdido, &c.
Mr.. Pickering commenced a speech, in
which he proceeded about an hour, when he
read, as al evidence IN support OF his argu-
ment against the title of the United States to
Louisiana or Florida etwee tue Mississippi
ana Perdido, a letter from Charles Maurice
Tale yrand, the French minister for foreign
AFFAIRS. dated 2lst December, 1904, to Gen.
Armstrong, our minister at Paris, on the
subject OF certain ovep,lres which had been
maze by our ministers in Spain for the aid
Of France in procuring a cession to- the Uni
TED States OF one or both Fioridas. The pur-
port of Talleyrand's letter appeared to be, a
denial that the United States had acquired,
by the treaty of 1906, any title to louisiana
east of the mississippi, or some statement to
that effect.
When Mr.. Pickering had concluded the
reading of this letter,
Mr.. Smith, (AId) said he wished to en-
quire whether the paper, which the gentle
man had just read, had ever been publicly
communicated to the Senate?
Mr. Pickering said, it had been communi-
Gated, not indeed as a public paper; but for
what reason had it been communicated conf
dentially? Because by a publication of it at
the time injury might have been lone to our
| ministers or our affairs abroad. There was
however now no reason why the whole truth
should not be known. They were about taking
a step which was one of peace or war, and il
was important that every thing in relation TO
the subject should be disclosed.
MIR. Smith (Md) said that whatever pc
! No y c xrat4a communicated IN tho Gara{a o@-G

in this body or any other it was necessary

The senate resumed the consideration of
the bill declaring the laws now In force in
tie territory Of Orleans to extend to and to
have full force and effect to the river Perdi-
do, pursuant to the treaty concluded at Paris
on the S0th April, 1908 and for other pur-
poses.
The question was on the bills passage TO a
third reading.
MIR. Pope rose, and in a speech of about an
hour supported the provisions of the bin,
and the occupation of the TERRITORY by the
president ofthe United States.
After Mr.. Pope had concluded,
Mr.. Pickering said this was q subject of
great Importance, and ought not to be hur-
ried to a decision on the first day OF discus
sion. This was the first time the claim OF
the United States had been presented to the
senate in a shape to afford scope for discus
sion. He wished time for consideration, and
moved to postpone the further consideration
Of the subject to Monday.
Motion lost, ayes 5.
1t was then moved to postpone it till to-
morrow, and carried.
'The senate resumed the consideration of
the bill respecting theterritory west OF the

Mr.. Horsey spoke about an hour and a

measure Of taking possession OF the disputed

hour, asserting the right ofthe United States
to the country in question, and indicating
the act of the Executive in relation to it.
