cused Of corresponding with the Insurance OF.
fees Of New Orleans ana giving them inlsc
representation of the navigation Of the Lake,
to Por, Caddo and Jefferson. In reply EN-
brace the occasion to state, was not aware
that the insurance had been raised on the Lake,
until about ten days ago. On the same day,
| was Informed that was one Of the parties
accused Of being instrumental in raising the
tax on our neyhbor merchants. ] deny that
have ever sponded with any one on that sub
Iect or thought of such an act in my life. SO,
