From the " OrL Mercantile Advertiser, Dec s.
We have heard statement made, which if true,
would at once demonstrate the inutlty Of silence
ever being observed by the press subjects of ge-
neral interest The newspapers OF New Orleans
have, and all, refrained from noticing misfor-
tunes which seemed unavo idable. The most exag-
gerated reports, notwithstanding, current in this
and the adjacent states; and powerful are the
fears OF the planters, regards the solidty of our
merchants, that few, very few indeed will send their
crops to Market albeit large portion is ready for
embsrkation, and the weather and Ids are uncom-
monty favorable for tie transportation.

Extracts ola letter from Mr.. Poinset TO Mr. Clay
dated Nerico, .Auc 81, 1925.


The correspondence respecting the reported
movements Of the French fleet in the West In
dia seas, which accompanied my last letter,
was attended with circumstances which | had
not then time 10 communicate.
The intelligence was received on the 5th IN
slant, by the Secretary of State. On the morn
ing of the 10th, he called upon the Charge DIES
Affaires of His Britannia Majesty, and showed
hin, the letters from the agent Of this govern
ment at Jamaica. Mr.. Ward came immediate
ly to me, to consult what was to be done, and
expressed wish that we should act in concert.
AS had not seen the Secretary, nor the letters
to which he alluded, could only reply that /
was perfectly willing to do so, provided this
government in their communications with US
placed both our governments on precisely the
same footing. He Immediately went to the pa
lace, and saw the Secretary of State, to whom
he explained his desire that the notes to be ad-
dressed to us should be Uerbatim ct Hteratim the
same. Late in the afternoon, the Secretary
called on me, and exhibited the letters he had
received from Jamaica, and which induced him
10 believe that France entertained hostile inten-
tons against this country. In this conversa-
ton assured him of the friendly disposition OF
the United States; and that they would not view
with indifference the occupation OF 'he Island
of Cuba by France, especially if it were the re
suit Of any hostile views towards Mexico; but,
at the same time, limited that the imprudent
conduct OF some of their commanders might
have induced Spain to cede that Island to the
French, rather than have it wrested from her,
in the manner proposed by Santa Ana, ofwhich
they were fully aware.
