Liverpool This is said to pay better than to come
to New Orleans at 9-lGd.? 1t is palpably manifest
there s no employment for vessels for sugar fcghts
this season in market. There is a pretty good
supply Of tunnage at this port Of which sixty-seven
ships are loading for Liverpool sixteen for Havre,
sixteen for other ports in Europe. There are seven
Spanish vessels in port, which will, in all proba-
biiity, be loaded with cotton for SPAIN There is
only one French vessel in port, and she is, it is
believed, owned by one of our great merchants
In times gone by, the "drapeau blave ' was to be
seen flying at the peak of score of vessels at our
levee, which have not been replaced by the tr-
color Out OF the two hundred and sixty vessels in
port, only twenty-five are from the doninions of
Queen Victoria. The largest vessel in port is the
ship Monarch Of the Sea, of New York, of 1879 tuns
burthen. There are forty-three American ships
above 1000 tuns; among them we notice the Mary
E. Campbell, of 1873 tuns, which is presumed to
be the same ship which made so close acquaintance
with the bar of the Southwest Pass last season. by
laying there from December to March. We sin
cerely trust she will be more favored this season.
But this only confirms what we argued often, very
often, that nothing animate or nanimate ever came
to our good city but what would come again.
many Of our Northern friends are sorely troubled
regarding the whereabouts of the good clipper shin
Rebecca, which transmitted the old and infrm
manuInitted darkies of our late citizen, John Mac
donogh to Africa. For their information, particu-
larly the Colonization Society and good Presi-
dent of the United States the last that was heard
of the good Rebecca she had one thousand passe1.
gers either engaged or board, en- route for some
port on the western continent. We hope they will
all be converted from heathenism 1t was sug-
gested that the brigand Cortinas, now entrenched
on the Rio Grande, may be awaiting the arrival Of
this ship, as he has every facility of receiving and
selling dozen ship loads of Africans. Yes, Cor
tinas defies the American Government Mr.. Blu
chanan, Mr.. Floyd. and Mr.. Toucey. He defies the
army and navy Of the United States and now b
the chance for fbusters to move; ; not squad Of
"sogers on the Gulf coast, excepting forty five
men in Fort Brown, who are besieged by Cortinas,
and dare not move. So our New York confrtres
and the Administration at Washington can rest as
sured that if the good ship Rebecea appears on the
coast Of Texas, her passengers will be we'll prp-
vided for. Though those interested in these pas
sengers will not likely appeal for protection to
Cortinas, yet Cortnas is there, with his flag nailed
to flagstaff defying the Government of these
United States, AMI has held sway supreme since
the 2Sh Of September last and likely to hold it for
months to come, growing stronger and stronger
each succeeding day. Now, them we suggest to
the New York correspondents of some Of the public
Journals to abandon their fears; the Rebecca and
passengers will be well provided for.
Well, the further talk is, that on the Rio Grande
is not the only place where the Government is de-

The FARTErIEs.-The play entitled Louis XT,n
which is somewhat of dramatic rarity, was pro-
duced at this theater last night to brilliant audi
tory. 1t is an exceedingly difficult character, but
capable OF being made exceedingly effective, and
this was accomplished by MIR. Couldock, who, as
LOUIS AL, portrayed with abominable truthfulness
the varying moods which distracted that cruel,
splenetic, irascble, hypocritical and hypochondri
acai old pietst and tyrant, whose bloody and
trembling hands clutched power even when the
grave was yawnng to receive him, that he might
use II to do further deeds OF cruelty. Perhaps
some might consider that the closing scene was
