The Mayor of New Orleans, Mr.. Monroe, last
night received highly important despatch
from Governor Moore, of Alabama, addressed
to the Governor OF Louisiana or the Mayor of
New Orleans. Mr.. Monroe, finding himself un-

thus be attained. We think his course in the

Treasury recently sent Mr.. H. Jones on pri-
ting that fact, or the object of the mission to
the Collector of the Port. ltappears that MIR.
Jones brought peremptory orders to Captain
BrushwOod, Of the revenue cutter McClelland,
to take that vessel Immediately to New York.
Captain Brushwood declined to obey the or
ders, and brought his vessel up the river to this
port. She now lies in our waters. The inva-
rlable custom has been to give such order,
through the Collector of the Port; but as the
custom was, in this instance, departed from
MIR. Hatch was totally ignorant of the object
OF MIR. Jones' mission.

tary men, induces them to hold the post.
This, however, is not the case with all of the
officers. There is DOUBLEDAY, strong
Coercionist, who is understood to be always
urging violent measures against the Charles.

his friends to acquiesce in, any compromise
that surrenders one iota of it,
