"Referring you to my Prices Current, have
to observe, that lew vessels have as yet visited
this port this season, and that in lieu Of having
abundant supplies of American produce as we
had last year, and having some 90 to so Ameri-

with American produce, and only six American
vessels waiting cargoes, only two vessels are
loading for Europe, the one an English and the
other French brig. The new crop Of coffee
is coming in rapidly, and will be very large and
very fine; some Of the best has been sold al $40

FROM NEW-ORLEANS.

Ne,D York, Jan. 1--WE have received by
the ship Amelia, Price, New Orleans papers
to the 5lst ult. inclusive, and the Price Current
of that date, from which we make the annex
ed extracts.
Capt. Poussin and Lieut.. Trimble, Commits
sioners for the National Road from Washing
ton to New Orleans, arrived at the latter city
on the Soth ult. They had examined the Wes-
tern Route, passing through Abingdon, Knox
vile, Centreville, (Alabama,) Fordvlle, (Mis-
sissippi,) crossing the Rigolets and Chef Men
teur, and reached New Orleans by the Gentil-
ly Road. They made the distance of the road
they had travelled about 1850 miles, passing
over country we'll calculated for making a
Turnpike Road; and having had in no instance
stream either larger or presenting greater
difficulties than the Potomac at Georgetown.
The Louisiana Advertiser of the 3lst ult
remarks, "Seldom at the same season OF the
year has business Of all kinds been so dull in
New Orleans as it is now. The principal cause
of this stagnation, in addition to the specula-
tons in cotton, which have proved to be so
unfortunate, is the lowAtate OF the waters in
the Western rivers, preventing the transporta-
ton of produce to this market. The cause,
however, is transient. we anticipate, with
confidence, that the months OF Feb. March and
April, will produce an alteration much for the
better in the affairs of our traders. 1t may not
be amiss to remark, that had the waters been
as low in December, 1914, as they are this
year, CAROLS division of Tennessee troops,
and the militia of Kentucky would have been
prevented from descending the river, and New
Orleans would probably have been lost"
The steamboat Grecian, heavily laden with
cotton, from Natzhez, for N. Orleans, ground
ed near Fort Adams, and in attempting to get
ner off, was forced over SO far as TO fill; the
water going in at the cabin windows. She was
expected to be raised without any material IN
jury.
From the New Orleans Price Current OF the
slst ult. it appears that Cotton OF all descrlP-
tons in Louisiana and Mississippi has met with
fair demand at from l to II cents. There
had been sales of few choice parcels over these
rates, but there was reason to believe that &C.
neral decline had taken place in all other de-
scriptions. The sales for the week were from
$500 to 5000 bales for the English ard French
markets, including some for the northern ma
nufactories. 1t was doubted whether these
prices would be sustained during the present
month. Arrived since Oct |, 25,ssa bales

ARKANSAS.


Messrs. Moore, M'Donald, and Magnes, the
Commissioners appointed to survey and mark
out the route for road, in Arkansas Territory,
from Little Rock to Cantonment Gibson, com.
pleted their labors early in last month. The
length OF the road between the two extreme
points, is about two hundred and eight miles
Mr. James S. Conway, the Commissioner APP
pointed for that purpose, has completed the
running and marking the line forming the east
ern boundary Of the land coded to the Choctaw
Indians in Arkansas Territory. 1t is stated by
the Commissioner, that in Crawford county,
on the river Potion, sixty or eighty families,
and the greater part of the inhabitants Of Mil
Ter county, are left on the west side Of the line.
On the lo5th mile, the Choctaw line crosses
line Of the public surveys, IA chains west OF
the corner of sections IS and Sc, OF township
10 south, in range 53 west Of the 5th principal
meridian; which is A. miles east OF the western
boundary of the Territory, agreeable to the
connection made Of tina, line with the public
surveys, by Messrs. Brown and Sullivan.
The whole length of the line, from the Ar
kansas 10 Red river, ll9a miles; the length OF
that part of the line forming the western boun-
dary of the Territory south of the Arkansas RI
yer, as given by Messrs Brown and Sullivan,
is 1913 miles. Having the length OF these two
parallel lines, and the distance they are apart,
we are enabled 10 calculate very nearly the
quantity Of land now owned~by the Choctaw
nation Of Indians; within the limits Of our Ter
ritory, which, by calculation, does not exc eed
5,484,8OO acres.

Two Treaties have recently been concluded
between Great Britain and Brazil-one Com
mercial, and the other on the subject of the
Sauc Trade We learn from the National Ga
zette, that by the latter, the subjects Of the
Empire of Brazil are to be allowed to prosecute
the Slaue Trade with the African coast for four
gears from the date Of the treaty; at the expi-
ration of which time it will cease 10 be lawful
for them on any pretext or in any manner what
ever.
The range prescribed for the trade is on the
Eastern coast of Africa, the tract comprised
between Cape Degaldo and the Bay OF Louren-
CO Marques; and on the Western coast, the
line embraced between the eighth and the
eighteenth degree Of South latitude; also, with
the territory claimed by the crown of Portugal
on the coast of Africa, south of the Equator.
The nefarious traffic will be carried on with
increased activity during the four years, in or
der to procure as large supply as possible OF
negroes, within the stipulated period. BY the
treaty of Commerce, Great Britain agrees 10
consider, for seven years, as Brazilian vessels,
all, the owners and masters of which are Brazi
liam, and which have Brazilian papers in regu-
lar form.

Mr. Scott, Of Missouri, laid resolution on
the table, directing the Secretary Of the Trea-

The enrolled bill for altering the lines of the
Land Districts in the Territory of Arkansas,
was read third time and passed.
The unfinished business of yesterday being
called up, Mr.. Stephenson, OF Pennsylvania,
rose and announced to the House the unpleasant
intelligence of the death of one of its members,
the Hon. Patrick Farrelly, representative
from Pennsylvania, who died at Pittsburg, on
his way to the seat of Government.
Mr. Ingham, Of the same state, then offered
a resolution, which was unanimously adopted,
requiring the Members of the House to wear
Grape on the left arm for thirty days; and, in
the course of the Introductory remarks, pro-
nounced an eloquent and feeling eulogum upon
the transcendent virtues and requirements Of
his deceased friend and colleague. When Mr..
Ingham had concluded, Mr.. Basset Of Virginia,
moved that the House adjourn, which motion
was carried; and the House adjourned at half
