Louisiana Gaz,
tuesday, Nov. 10.

After the journals were read, the great
quection, in the shape of a Resolution, was
introduced by Mr.. IHatkius, whether the
Territory of Orleans shall become tree *
sovereign State, or not, agreeably to the
terms offered by the act of Congress of the
10th Feb. last"
Mr.. Johnston opposed the discussion Of
this great question, to make room for local
resolutions he presented, relative to the u.
5. lands Of Attakapas & Opelousas, which
the inhabitants now occupy as grazing
grounds,& cypress swamps, from which they
get timber.
mr.. BianQue ably opposed those local re-
solutions, and in language unanswerable laid
them to sleep.
The great question of State or no State be-
ing the subject;
Col. BeNechaSse read a very concise & APP
propriate speech on the propriety of becoln =
ing State, and on the exposure long win =
ded speeches, that he conceived of very little
avail.
Mr.. Earigny delivered his studied speech
handsomely--h had it well committed to
memory--he is clear FOR the Territory beco-
ming State.
Mr.. DeStrehan moved postponemcnt of
the great question until to-morrow--in this
he was joined by MIR. Watkins, (the mover
of the question: Mr. Brown & Mr.. Winter.
The question was taken, but not being well
understood, the question Of adjournment was
put, and carried nearly unanimously.
