and most conclusive vpdicatons of that Institution from
the official vitupcration of the Globe and its official COM

aggravated by the notorious fact that the transfers of

as low as five per cent below par, whca shippers aud

double taxing the commerce a the countrydoble tux

immense amount OF specie from New Orleans the mo-

Curlew ship~of war, on his way to Cape

his intention to return to the mouth OF
