NEW YoRK, Aug 3O.-The gunboat State
of Georgia, from Cape Haytien on the 22d
instant, brings adviceS that the rebels had
captured, by surprise, Fort st. Michael, on
the opposite side of the river, causing Gef-
rard's troops to eyacuate Petite Azure, and to
stop the bombardment of the town. The
town had been relieved by blockade running.
A blockade.runner had run in with provis-
ions, arms and ammunition after many citi-
zens had died of fright and starvation. But
few had been killed.
The rebels had enticei three of Geffrard S
officers from the American COnsul's house,
where they had taken refuge, and shot them
in cold blood, Flour was $25 barrel; rice
30 cents per pound, and sugar SO cents per
pound. The rebels are determined to hold
out, and the Government forces are reduced
to small numbers by deaths and desertions.

From New Orleans.

Dates from New Orleans arc to the 10Th
instant. Receipts Of cotton were falling of,
those for the week ending ut date being
10, ,0S4 bales, against rs, 907 for the previous
week. Stock on hand estimated at 83,l7l
bales, with further immediate clearances ex.
peoted. The range Of prices for the different
classifcations known as ordinary, good ordi-
nary, low middling. and middling, extended
from 80 to 43 cents per pound. Advices
from New York had stiffened the market.
No animation was observed in the dry
goods, hardware, and clothing departments
Of trade. Groceries had some slight move
ment. Trade with Mobile and Alabama had
attained the eliminating point, tho chief
wants for that market being bagging, rope,
and -four. The resumption Of intercourse
with Galveston had become fixed, says the
Times four steamers and thre sail vos-
sells cleared during the week for that port.
Three vessels were at the BaliIe from Mata-
moras, with bagging bale rope, and sundries,
with large numbers Of passengers, indicating
general stagnation Of business in that sec
tiOn.
Boston has already commenced her steam
ship communication with New Orleans. The
steamship Kensington loft on the 5th inst,
and the Concordia was to follow within q
week or fortnight. The former crossed the
bar on the 18th, which shows her to be rather
slow. The passage, says the same paper,
must be made inside Of ten days to compete
successfully with the New York ships. A
letter from Boston declares that this third
attempt at such connection shall succeed,
and although some doubt Is expressed about
the success, 1t will probably be accom-
plished, as the strongest merchants are on
gagged in the enterprise. The ice ships had
not arrived, and the heat Of the weather was
unabated.
