And yet there is no keener judge of

Mr.. CARA was much puzzled by
this letter, but some light is thrown
on it by an article in the New
Orleans Item, received here last
Monday, which tells of letter al
most exactly the same wording, but
with different signature, which was
received by a prominent citizen OF
New Orleans. This coincidence
shows that the letters were evident
ly written by some person who has
some scheme in hand, and who
doubtless has written similar letters
to other persons. What the object
of the writer can only be ascertain
ed by further communication with
him. The New Orleans gentleman
who has been favored with the same
liberal offer as that rendered Mr.
Cara is reported by the Item u
being equally as puzzled a Don
AdOlfo was.
