.NEw ORLEANS, MARCH, "a, I54'

80 NEW ORLEANS, 1MuT CH SU9 49,
DEAR SIR,-I send you herewith an Engl'sh
newspaper that came over by the last stealhei
from Liverpool, from which you viii get an me
European news. The accounts are consloeTeu
favorable TO cotton, not SO much from any advance
in the price, as that the foreign market s'1s!alns
itself. in the face of very heavy receipts IN Liver
pool and Hayre. The increase in price here is
very triAino as vet, but the demand is heavy, and
factors can generally realise their asking prices.
The impression is, there will be a small increase
n price. in the course Of this week. Sugar IS
n good demand and selling at fair prices.
You will see from the Washington papers, ina
Congress has abolished the United States Court
at Opelousas, and directed all the records ana
papers TO be sent here. This is a part oil the
grasping poseyof the City. that wishes TO get
every thing from the country done here. me
city LAWYERS, with a few from the north OF ked
River, and the spectators in old Spanish .land
claims, have effected this unjust act. Governor
johnson, | have heard, brought forward the mea-
sure, and our whole ~locofoco delegation in the
House sustained it, or ut least made no opposi
ton. You ought to give him and Morse a little
unmitigated goss for it.
The papers will inform you ofthe proceeding
Of the Convention and the Legislature. NO.
will see that both bodies are doing business, witt
but a little more than a bare quorum, man!
members no, attending, although in the city, an
many absent altogether. Yesterday a very IN
~portant vote in the Convention on the question
orthe basis Of representation in the House 2
Representatives was taken, and only fifty mem
bers voted-thcre being twenty.six absentees-
end last evening three of our delegates, Messrs
! King, Taylor and Hudspeth put oit--and MI
. Lewis is absent for a week past.
If the country press does not speak out and ea
Z press the decided feelings Of the country Peo,pi'
the city will have us bound land and foot, Will
: the country delegates are sleeping on theirpost
! or have abandoned them altogether.
There is no reliable account from Washingto'
as 10 who will form the new cabinet. The No
!, thern and Southern branches ofthe democrat
! do not pull together h the subject, and Mr.. Pc
= keeps very quiet.
. The latest accounts from Washington are r
ther favorable to the annexation Of Texas
some shape or other. The precise form cam
be guessed at.
e Respectfully and truly, - -

former port TO the 9Th, and from Paris to the Din
January. The Cotton Market at tiayre was
very firm up to the latest date.
The French journals were discussing win
much warmth the annexation question, anu they
all take a view oft in perfect correspondence
with American interests, and in harmony with
the ancient friendship existing between US anti
that gallant people. They scout the idea OF
France Joining with England in opposing Texan
Annexation, and iii allusion to Mexican threats
induced by anticipation ofthe realization Of that
measure. Here is an extract from an interest
ing article in the Havre Journal:
There is but one of the powers OF Europe pia-
ced in a position to sustain Mexico in a war with
the United States, and Of these powers only one
has any interest on the question, England is that
power.
To compromise our political relations with this
power on account efthe Texas question, which
we regard as Insignificant to aim a blow at the
old friendship that binds us to a country whose
independence isin part our own work TO sls-
tain the quarrel and labor for the interest OF Eng
land that, indeed, would be rather much OF du-
perry.

is some 90 head. He has, h@istofore. paid but
little attention to this branch, but is now SO well
conyinceS of its practicability, that hisdetermi-
nation is to improve the breed, and increase his

years since, had some twenty head, by a similar
iudicions cross, has increased his flock to owe
two hundred head. In both instances, no par
%ticnlar pains were taken with these focks, unit
within a few months since. This is one usefu
