PHILADELPHIA, June 30.
Letters from New-Orleans, dated June 1,
L>’, ,r Governor Claiborne has lately given
fiis negative to two or three bills palled by
fheAigiflamre. This has greatly irrigated
tintlody; in conftqucnce of which, a refu
tation to the following purport, patted both
Houles : Whereas the members of these
Houles in accepting fca'S therein, were ac
tuated by the purest vvifhes for the public
good, and whereas the Governor of this ter
ritory las fuccc{lively negatived their wisest
Jaws arid proceedings, iris therefore iefnl
veu, that this Houfc, taking into confide
nt J.m the heavy and unnecelfiry exper.ee it
ccealnns to the territory, do unaninruufly
adjourn until the firft week in February.
CHARLESTON, Jui.y 14.
By a New-Orleans paper of June, we
find that it* the Hcufe of Reprefcnratives of
the territory of Orleans, Mr, Mahon laid
a resolution on the table, for the removal of
the (eat of government from the City of
ft em-Or leans to Peint Coupee, at or near
the Church of St. Francis, until v.e flia'l
be put in pofleffion of Baton Rouge. The
rcafons which were utged in fapport of the
removal were, that the city of New-Odeans,
on account of its position and the variety ot
contradictory dispositions rnanifeftcd among
the residents thereof is ill calculated for
the promotion of the huftnefs of solemn legif
lacion; that the citizens of this place,
through the medium of their City Council,
have refuted this legillatare fuuable rooms
in the principal during their feflron, iirhich
they might have done whfcour inconve
nience ; that certain opulent gentlemen of
overgrown estates have mamfcAcd a difpefi
tion to exclude from this house, the weftertr
and country members, by providing for
them a miserable tpirtance, and giving the
Speaker of this house authority to iurnifh
drafts on an empty treasury, and thereby
ultimately secure to themselves the entire
management of public aijhirs, and con
fequcntly make the representatives of a free
government, not the reprefeotatives of a
free people, but of 3 wealthy and overgrown
arittocracy.

from England till the 24th May. The rta.

latl of his projects in that line. While the
Engldb paragraphs araufes his readers with
the profpeti of a fpcedy accommodation be

in council informs them, on the 15th May,
“ thw it is hereby ordered that general re

accounts wc have nothing fatisfaftory from

not yet ceased from their pious labours—the

At Birbadoes Admiral Ccthrane had gi.

as hostages for the men who have been taken
on the coast of South America.
A gentleman who reftdes oil the Sand

ed for mmure, at fomc (mall Alliance from
thehoufej a few days ago, the heap, was
opened, and the rotten Huff* conveyed to the
garden 5 foonafter, eight white petfors of
the family were taken exuemely ill, and
exhibited symptoms of a very bad fever ; but
by the timely aid of a pity Ikian, we arc hap
p» to learn that they are cut ot danger ; The
rlHuvia from this putrid mass was so power
fill that the black rtian, who broke up the
heap, was greatly aff.ificd by it, and had
like to fofe his life—From this wc much
fear that many have 101 l their lives in this
city and other parts of Georgia, from the

present alarming case will be a warning d|
others to remove all cotton feed farfrom their
