The ReToIuIiou In New Orleans

Nsx Orleans has long been sowing the WIN
she is now reaping the whirlwind. Inc PeO
Me are made up Of all nations, and the eily n@s
basn the head quarters Of the pirates ana ni'i-
bDstsrs who have set on foot most oil the ma
rsuding expeditions to rayage the territories o'
,,e,csfoI neighbors. From New Orleans Lopez
mainly drew his men and material aid ior inc
fatal f,ray on Cuba, and Walker his eut-thr'1'S

New Orleans is the paradise of returned Ioo-

New Orleans papers to the 29th oi May
four dsys before the outbreak-give but slight
indications Of the Committee OF Vigilance or
panization. The Della, the organ and advocate
of illibusters and slave-traders, hints at such
Committee, that is all. City politics doubtless
have something to do with the organization
though it is stated that the Vigilance Commit
tee is composed of all parties. For two year.

of the American party, and the municipal elee
