II is not a matter OF surptize, that the rigid
orders and discipline of this brave and skiltu
officer, during his residence In NewO orleans,
shoulc have created some discontents, and
perhaps some serious complaints TO govern

exa mined, taere Can be now doubt OF his hon
durable acquitai. The last act OF his assu-
med civil authority was the disqualification
