New OaLEArs, Aug. 2.--The drssdful fire

The fire extended over ten squares, burning

Merchant and other streets, which comprise the
business portion Of the place.
The loss is yarionsly estimated at from two
to five millions Of dollars.
The fire was the work of incendiaries, who
have been arrested by the vigilant committee.
Many lives are said to have been lost by this
terrible fire, which, coming 90 closely ON the
heels Of that from which the city had not yet
recovered, inflicts severe blow on the pros

bates together A new set Of appointments will
have to be made for each, of which you will be
duly notified. Gen. Foote had, from Yazoo City
up, been apologzing for Fillmore in the affair
Of Quitman's arrest, by saying that there aoere
grounds upon which to base an indictment, and
that he (Foote) had the proofs in his possession.
Quitman indignantly denied the implication, and
desired Fo0te to produce them. AT Pamela,
Foote stated that the President well knew that
Lopez had supped with Quitman, and that the
State arms were found in the expedition, and
upon thai he based his action. Notwithstanding
Gen. Quitman's solemn observations of his inno-
cence, Foote reproduced the charge at Sledge.

g whether brought openly or by insinuation, was
false ssnd dcowardly, indeOent and ungentlegpa
Foote ran up and asked IL he meant TO say that
he had made such charge, either openly or by
implication. Gen. Qnitman, being desirous of
having no indecorous scenes before ladies', told
Gen. Foote not to interrupt him, (they had but
two days before, at Foote'S instance, agreed not
to interrupt each other, ,)--Foote repeated the
question. Quitman told him that he would an
swer him elsewhere. Foote again, in an angry
tone, demanded the same; when Quitman said !:
Then, sir, if you insist upon an answer here, |
say that do" Gen. Foote then called Quitman
q liar, and struck him in the face-not even
scratching him, though-Gen. Quitman returned
the blow, skinning or bruising Foote'S forehead.
