From what Pierre told him that
night. Jean Lafitte knew. as clearly
as though he had remained at Bara-

er. and compelled the English to cease
reckoning upon them as allies. And
after this signal victory Gen. jackson
had been given command of the Sew

the State of Louisiana.
II was now very evident that New
Orleans was to be attacked as soon as
the English could concentrate n suf-

Gov. Claiborne had called a session of
