quiiry for some days. when an order was
received for its dissolution. A measure
Of this nature might be allowable in time

is something behind.
The general court martial which lately
sat at Troy in tie state of \. York, has
terminated IT'S proceedings about a tort
night. the result we are credibly INFORM
ed has been, that the general was acqmt-
ted unanimously on every charge and e
very specification.
It is stated to us that the evidence given

of military transactions and military men
from those which system ofproscription
worthy of Robespiere, had imposed in
some measure upon the nation.

.Nelc-O Orleans. March 5th, 1915.

After having resisted the open efforts
! of the enemy, he must not be permtteo
to accomplish by art and intrigue what ne
was unable to effect by the exertion OF ms
military skill and veteran prowess. lhe
commanding general is irresponsible Tor the
safety of this section of the Union and 1t
shall be protected, against every design
of the enemy, in what manner soeyer he
may shape his attack, whether 1t be made
by the known and declared foe, OF by the
pretended and deceitfnl friend.
Under specious pretext, attempts have
been made to diminish our force oy with
drawing the French inhabitants OF Loul-
siana. These men, contrary to the ex-
recitation ofthe enemy, had not only acted
With fidelity, but displayed zeal as hon
durable to themselves as twas grateful to
the commanding general. Yet there are
not a few land their number, it is appre-
hended, is increasingly who, under the
guise of SUBJECTS of the French monarch,
allied with &. Britain, suffer themselves
to be seduced from their duty hereby
realising the hopes, and aiding the pro-
iects of the enemy.
Urged by the necessity of the measure
an order was issued on the 28th ultimo,
in the following terms, viz.
"All French subjects, having the GER
tifcate of the French consul, cOuntersign-
ed by the order of the commanding ge-
neral, will repair to the interiour, not
short of Baton Rouge, until the enemy
have left our waters or the restoration OF
peace. This measure has become me-
cessary from the numerous applications
of the kind, and will be carried into nm
mediate effect. Notice will be taken OF
such persons as may remain after the "a
of next month, and all officers are order
ed to give information of every such per-
son, remaining after that period, as may
come within their knowledge"
For the purpose of alternating many OF
those Frenchmen who have been distin-
guished as brave soldiers, this order has
been baselv misrepresented, and made to
apply to persons for whom it was never
designed. Excited by this cause to more
industrious opposition, the lurking traitor
| is now labouring tofeed with fresh fuel, a
spirit of discomfort, disohedience, and
mutiny, too long secretly fomenting.

the official documents, detailing the cir
cumstances relative to finding ofthebodies
of the murdered Louis ard Antcinette,
of which brief analysis maynot be UNI
acceptable. The Chancellor of France
having been appointed by his Majesty,
the present monarch, to collect all the eyi-
dence previous, at, and subsequent to the
obsequies OF Louis and Antoinette, re-
ported the deposition of the Vicar OF the
Parish of the Magdelaine. He stated
that on the Goth January, 1898, MIR. Pr
card the eurate of the Magdelaine, was
ordered by the Executive power, to take
their directions OH the funeral. AS the
health of Mr.. Picard was then in declin-
ing state, the curate ofiiciated in his stead.
The quantity Of lime to be thrown INTO
the grave, the digging Of the grave, the
plan and the depth were all matters OF
specific direction. Men were appointed
to watch the kody of the murdered mo-
march until it's interment. The body was
dressed in white marseilles waistcoat,
with small cloths of grey silk, and stock
ings of the same color. It vas deposited
in an open coffin, and previous to It's III,

LATEST FROM NEW oRLEANs.

Letters Of the 10th March, from New
Orleans. state that Martial law still pre-
vailed there, notwithstanding the COM
:mandine general hadbeen in possession OF
the news of peace, for several days tho. It
does not appear that he was officially IN
formed ofthe presidents ratification. The
District Judge and District Attorney had
both been arrested by a military guard, u
marched of, to Head Quarters, for having
issued writ of habeas corpus to release
from confnementia citizen of New-Or-
leans, who was about to be tried by a
Military, Court Martial for having writ
ten and published paragraph which did
not meet the appreciation Of the command
ing general. Another Judge,of one of the
courts having attempted to interfere for
the release ofhis brother Judge, shared a
similar fate. The letter writer goes on
to state that all was fear aud dismay. No
one could tell whose turn it would be
next to fall under the dspleasure of those
exercising the powers of the govern
ment.
The following general orders, copied
from New-Orleans papers which we were
politely favored with last evening by a
friend, are given as a specimen OF the
species of government which prevails.
For ourselves, situated as we are at such
distance from the scene of action, and
ignorant, as we necessarily must be, OF
those circumstances that are essential to
make up a correct judgment, we do not
feel competent to pronounce upon this
affair till further informed. One thing
we know, that the state Of society there
foreigners composing nearly the majority
of the people) is very different from any
thing we see here, and may require every
different method of government.

GENERAL ORDERS.

1 Z |.
Although the commanding general has
not received official advice that the state,
of war has ceased by the ratification of
the treaty of peace between the United
States and G.. Britain, he has persuasive
evidence of the fact, and credits it, at the
risk of being misguided by his wishes,
Under this impression, his first act is to
release from actual service the body ofthe
militia of this state, who have taken the
field in obedience to the orders of a levy
en- masse. In discharging them from the
noble duty which they were called to
perform, the general does justice to the
aIacrity with which they have in general
obeyed the call-to the enthusiasm which
animated them on the first invasion of the
enemy, and the unanimity and patriot
ism which disappointed his insolent hopes.
He thanks them in the name of their COM
mon country for the noble defence they
have made, and he congratulates them in
his own, on the consequences it has pro-,
duced. Louisiana, though not called on
for any exertion in assuming her lndepsn-
dence, has shewn, by her courage III it's
support, that she knows how to prize the
inestimable blessing; her sons have not
only ensured safety, but have acquired
even a greater good-national reputation.
Preserve this as the best reward of your
exertions, and hand it down untarilished,
together with your example, to your pos
terity. Let no designingmen induce you
to destroy it. by exciting .jealousies of
your best friends, or divisions among
yyourselves-by preachingparty spirit, in
subordination in war, injustice to your
brave companions in arms, blindness to
your own interests and to the true cha
Iracter of those enemies of your peace
Guard against these evils as you hope to
enjoy the blessing you have so brayely
won; and before you yield to such peril
dious counsels, examine scrupulously
whether those from whom they proceed,
deserve your confidence, by any exertion
they have made in your defence. A yea
lous wish for the prosperity of the inte-
resting country, in whose defence he has
been. by the blessing of Heaven, instru-
mental, has induced the commanding ge-
neral to give this admonitary caution,
which those who court popularity, may
tell YOU is unnecessary. He, however,
values no popularity but that which arises
from faithful discharge of duty. In per-
forming, his object has been to secure
his happiness; and he will always cens-
derit as one of the most fortunate Incl
dents in his life. to have contributed by
his exertons, to the prosperity of your
country.
