would be, with regard to this city, the effect of The jun

the utmost importance to the city of New Orleans -
This port would then be, Of all others in the United
States, the nearest to The Pacific Ocean, and
sequent to the Peruvian and Gillian trade the fur
trade of thu Oregon Territory and to all the commerce.

venence of intercourse with the other States which we
possess, and it will he srer that n cam, across

her natural advantages would cause her to become.
Certainly it was never thought that New Orleans oud

on which they would depend. From New Orleans
