enjoyment and exercise of their civil and
natural privileges, and out of the garrisons

very brisk, and a gentleman from thence

judges as very strong--the four principal
redoubts bear the names of forts George,
Gosseln, Furieuse and Penobscot but

vigilance in the garrison, nor any appre-

We are grievously disappointed at the
present very interesting moment, by the
failure of the mail from Louisiana Various
probable causes may be assigned for. its
failure, besides those incident to high wa
tiers. bad roads and casualties. The direct
Mail, we are informed, used to cross part
of lake Ponchartrain. The enemy being in
possession Of that lake, the circuit which
the mail must consequently make, may have
caused tito lose trip. 1t is possible, the
Mail may arrive, we are informed, on Tues
day by what is called the Marietta Mail
Otherwise we shall in all probability, not
hear from Orleans before Friday next.
