boarded at the same Inn with several Bril-

their unsuccessful attack on the city of N.

Jackson's official account of their operations
against New Orleans, which they declared
to be simple and unvarnished narration of
facts and that the General had by no means
overrofed the number of killed and wound

and that was the watch words /" Booty and
