 NEW ORLEANS, March 1G.
 As President of the New Orleans Associated Press, deem it my duty to deny the assertions, contained in q dispatch sent from this city. which I find in the Northern papers Of the 5th inst, as follows: ! "NEw ORLEANS. March 4th,--Jefler- son Davis is here. A the fire compa- nies gave him repeated cheers as they passed the St. Charles, and when pas sing Gen. Hancock's headquarters they took off their hats and their bands play ed the Bonnie Blue Flag. But six out of the thirty companies carried the flag of the United States. Indignation is expressed by the loyal citizens, and fears are entertained of trouble to- night
 The only truths which the dispatch contained were. that Jefferson Davis was then in this city, and that six of the companies carried the United States flag. Last year, when Gen. Sher- man was here, it was carried by only one company, while before the war it was never customary to carry the na- tional flag in these processions. All of the rest of this dispatch is a falsehood. The Agent of the New York Associa- ted Press desires me to, say that he did not send or authorize this dispatch, and knew nothing of it until it was return ed in the Northern papers, and he con CUTS with in the above statement of the falsity of its assertions also, that another dispatch sent from this city as- serting that Mr. Davis and Gen. Han cock had been riding in the same car riage together, is a falsehood without shadow of foundation in fact. f
