TIE NEW ORLEANS BANKS AGAIN SUS
PENDED

PENDED.
We received last evening, three or four
mails together from New Orleans. On
the 30th of May a run upon the Banks foi
specie appears to have begun, and lasted
for several days, which has Obliged the
New Orleans Banks generally again to
suspend specie payments. The following
extracts of letters taken from the Charles
ton Courier, give more condensed and
newspapers:
"NEw ORLEANS, May 81.
There was a run mrde on the Cti-
zens' Bank yesterday. About IL o'clock
the crowd increased, and commenced
drawing specie from the State Bank and
the Consolidated Bank. This morning
the Cashiers of the Citizens and State
Banks have announced that they have
suspended until the 9th of December next,
the time given by the Legislature. 1t is
said, tina, the Citizens Bank has $500,

not been able to sell. No person appears

From The Net0 Orleans Bulletin, June 3.

payments by the Banks of New Orleans,
is real-and any pretension to the con-
