Riot at New Orleans.

Our readers will recOllect, that
some weeks since we published an ac-
count of an attack upon the British
ship Hamilton, Captain Colshead,
while laying in the harbor OF New
Orleans. We received by the last
mail the New Orleans Gazette OF the
18th April, which contains more
detailed statement of this unhappy oc-
currence. Mr.. Wagner, the editor
states,
al. That the Mayor knew the
riot was about to take place.
/" 2. That if his own means were
not sufficient to prevent it, he knew
there was abundance of force within
his reach, which he might easily have
obtained by applying for it.
" 8. That he not only declined to
apply for such assistance, but refused
to make use of his means till it was

From the account saw in your pa
per the other day. respecting the
Lawler or jones' white wheat, am,
very much pleased to Observe 10 you.
for the henefit of the fnsmers OF this
country in general, that the wheat
called Jones's or Lawler'5, is nothing
else than wheat imported from Ire
iand by some emigrant, and contains
hat qulli,y, from its native soil, OF
resisting the depredatioDs OF the fly
or worm. The most useful and best
have appeared by mere ac-
cilent; and if the origin Of this Law
Ter wheat could be ascertained, i,
would be found to be imported as ]
have said for there is a popularity
lin the sell and air of Ireland, not
found even in England its neigllborins
Isle. That the poisonous reptile is
not found on the island, is fact be-
yond doubt, and even when brought
there for experiment they do not and
Icannot exist on the land. OF this pc
cuIiar quality of the soil i'll which they
are raised, potatoes and all vegetables
crown on the land must imbibe por-
ton. The farmer would do well to
procure small portion Of wheat seed
from that country, and in year or
1.-TWO his stock of seed, would be suffi-
ciently increased for his general use.

Washington, May 80.
The spirit of liberaiity in regard to
Internal improve ment which charac-
terized the proceedings Of the Legls-
lature of North Carolina at its last
Session, is we'll known to our readers.
Among other measures was the APP
continent Of a Board of Commission
ers to explore the coast Of North Ca.
roIira, With a view to the practical
bility of deepening the entrance into
Roanoake river which is nearly choS
ed up with sand externally, supposed
70 be thrown up by the current Of the
Guiph Stream.
Ono Of the Commissioners { Blake
Baker, Esq who has recently visited
the Northern states, has succeeded in
obtaining competent gentleman (cap-
tain Clarke, late of the Army to
make a preparatory Typographical
survey. He has been fortunate enough
also to obtain, by consent of tile Exc
cutive, the valuable aid of Gen. Swift,
of the corps Of Engineers, with the
prospect of other assistance, to make
a second and final survey of this coast,
Of which we know little at present,
except for its dangers to mariners sail
ing coast-wise.
The practicabillty Of the design is
livery doubtful; but it is considered
important to test it, that, in the event
of its proving hopeless, the people
dwelling on the fertile borders of the
lRoaneake may turn their undivided
|attention to the canal navigation to
Norfolk.

ed"
Here follows the affdayits Of Mr.
Stewart, Major General Ripley
Commodore Patterson and sailing
master LOOMS Of the U. S. navy.
MIR. Stewart says, that on the 18Th
March he was on board the Hamilton,
that about two o'clock p. nj. a crowd
was collecting on the leyee, with the
avowcd determination TO take down
the vanes which were flying on the
mast head of the Hamilton that he
advised the captain to call upon the
Mayor that the captain waited on
the Mayor; that his honor refused
to Interfere; that about b O'Clock the
Mayor came ON board, and informed
the captain he would take charge of
the ship. The deponent and the cap
tain proceeded below that a few
minutes after they were in the cabin
they were hailed from deck, to come
up. They found the mob had board
ed, and were pursuing the crew, with
pistols, swords and cutlasses, and that
one of the Hamilton's crew was shot
through the neck.
Gen. Ripley states, that he did not
receive any communication from the
Mayor, requesting his aid; that he
was called upon by two citizens, re.
qnesting military aid. and that when
he arrived on the levce, the Mayor
seemed to rejoice that the troops had
arrived.
Commodore Patterson testilics, that
sailing masters Loomis and Bassct
called on him, and observed that the
masters Of the vessels in the neighbor-
hood Of the Hamilton, were DESTROYS

FROM ST. THOMAS.
We learn from respectable source at
st. Thomas, that Just before the depar-
ture OF the Mechanic, which arrived here
from that Island OH Friday last, PROC
LAMAIION had been received there
from the High Admiral Brown, OF the We
nezulean squadron, declaring Laguira,
Guiana, Cumana, Porto Cavelo, and one
otherPOrtOf the Main under strict block
AIDE. The Proclamation even went so far
as to declare all vessels found within
leagues of the coast, good prize. In con
sequence Of which, all trade between St.
Thomas and the Main, was completely
cut OFT. The Privatecrs, also, had become
so extremely troublesome off ~. Thomas,
that the Merchants of that Island had sub
scribed Il sum OF money, as Il present TO
tie Government, for the purpose ofiitfing
out fast sailing schooner for the protec-
lion ct Their commerce. One of these
PnNateers had already been taken, con
demned and the crew put OH board Of
vessels belonging to the nations to which
they were citizens or subjects. MANY of
them were Americans, whom Inc Danish
Government wished our Consul TO take
charge of: with which he refused TO com
ply, not feeling himself authorized TO in
cur tile consequent expense, as he could
not consider them, thus circumstanced,
entitled to the protection of the United
States. Accordingly, he gave the Danes
who had brought item in there, distinctly
to understand, that he would have moth
ing TO do with them, and that they might
dispose OF them III any way they thought
proper.
The streets of ST Thomas were throng-
ed YIN American Seamen, similarly cir
cuhsianeeel, who besieged the Consuls
Office closely from morning till night
