NEW ORLEANS.
DY KODEItT GOOD ACRE.
New Orleans constat* of tbo city proper nmt
two suburbs, one above aud the other boliiw
it, dose on the bank of tbo river. The upper
suburb is culled the American Faubourg St.
Mnry, tbo lower lhe French Faubourg or Foil*
bourg Marigoy. Tho latter is almost entirely
peopled by Frcnch, of the middlo nnd lower
classes, the upper principally by Anglo Ameri
can emigrants from the northwestern (tales.
Tho city proper contains a mixture of ‘'ali na
tions, people, ■and tongues that dwell upon the
face of the earth”—Tho city was first settled
by tho French in 1717, and was named in com
pliment lothoDiicM’ Orleans, regent of France
during tho minority of Louis XV, I cannot
here descant on its history, but since tho pur
chase of President Jefferson in 1803, its as
tonishing- increase in wealth and . population
has been attended by a corresponding influcnco
of tho Anglo American race. Indeed it bai du
ring the present year barely escaped dismem
berment, arising from tho opposing influcnco
of American (us they are called) and French in
terests. A bill for converting tha whole into
two cities, to bo called tho Upper and Lower
city, actually passed the house of representa
tives, and was thrown out in tho senato only by
one or two votes, in February last. Immedi-
ntely after this defeat, a bill was introduced by
the French members themselves, far re -organ-
izing tho city government, in which many of
the measures objected to by the Americans were
removed, and thoir influence in tho city coun-
cils'greatly increased. This measure has res
tored harmony for tho present, but it is easy
for an impartial spectator like myself, to see
that Gallic influence must at no distant day suc
cumb under the weight of talent, enterprise,
and population annually rolling in from the
northern slates of tho Federnl Union, and a*
the neighborhood become* healthy, which will
in proportion as civilization udvancos, it will
probably for somo time to enmo continue to
augmeat tho population.
New Orleans proper is in tho form of a par
allelogram, 1400 yards long by the side of th*e
Mississippi, and 700 yards back from the river,
but the ground occupied by buildings on the Up
per Faubourg alone is in extent greater than the
city, and is constantly extending up tho side of
the mighty water. Tho lower Faubourg is u-
bout two thirds the sizo of.lho city proper, and
is understood to be not increasing. The whole
is laid out iu streets, crossing each other at right
angles, fifty to'ises, or about 107 yards apart,
aud forty feet wide. It is surrounded by a
street ucarly 200 feet wido, planted with four
rows of the Occidental Plano tree, or Ameri
can Sycamore, and is truly a delightful ramble.
Tho front side is of course bounded by the riv
er, on tho raised bank of which, culled tho Le
vee, u busy scene unparalleled for variety and
interest in any part of tho world with which 1
am acquainted is continually passing. Let us
pass dowu it from the southern extremity of the
Upper Faubourg, to the northern limits of the
city proper. For the first mile along tho coast
of the Mississippi, flat boats or arks form a con
tinual liue. Their contents for salo are staves;
timber planks, horses, fat and lean cattlo, sheep,
hogs, Ct lie American calls all swioo, hogs after
they are grown,) all sorts of domestic poultry,
and various kinds of largo and cumbrous mate
rials. This motley collection is succeeded by
the steam boats, which are, during the busy
mouths, always in great numbers. During the
third week in April last, I countod thirty-nine.
They lio with their hows on shoro doso to the
bank, and even project in upon it side by side-.-
Thcte are very low of them small, many are of
three and four hundrud tons burden. All aro
good looking vessels, many handsome, and a few
magnificent. - Below these is another continued
liue of flat boats or arks, which ltko tho ark of
old, are filled with alm*st every clean and un
clean thing, fruits, dried and green potutoes,
hog’s lard, honey, salt, jailed butter, Indian
corn, meal from it of three orfour kinds, wheat
flour* whiskey, onions, hams of bacon, mutton,
and venison, suited beef aod pork, lead, hay
blades (that is the leaves) of the Indian corn in
bundles, (the best fodder that cap be grown,)
saddles, and last, but not least, cotton bales.—
Of these I have seen on tho Levee and its sides,
as many as, if placed side by sido, would form
a continued lino for one milo in length.—Noxt
comes the (hipping, first the sloops, schooners
and brigs, that aro confined to the Gulf of Mex
ico, then tho lines of mighty castles that bavo
blowed the Atlantic, carries us far below tho
limits of the ci y, and lite vast crescent is ter
minated by four or fivo steam boats, employed
in towing up and down the Mississippi the 105
miles boiwecn tbo'city and the Gulf of Mexico.
The various articlos discharged from these ves
sels, and lying for salo on tht? Leveo side, de
fies all enurmeration. In ona place a vast
heap of oranges, pine apples, and bananas, fresh
from the grove of Cuba, scent the air; with
their fragrance; close by, is a pile of Yorkshire
paving stone, exactly like that which is the or
nament of our market place side-walks; con
tiguous is a cargo of logwood and mahogany,
and at a short distance a vast mass of cockio
shells, brought in ships to coat over the sides of
the Levea.
There are probably along this line, not less
than fifty booths for oysters and grog as many
stalls for tho salo of shoes, shirts, and other
clothing, not omitting stockings, which, like
certuiu well knqwn razors, were made rather
for sale than for use. Close by are the two
markets of Orleaus proper. __ The first, kallc
ties fiotieAzncrf (shambles,) is perhaps 200 feet
long and 30 feet wide, a neat erectioo, one
boat was tho first for tho season which
scraped over tho sand banks of that river. Mo* 1
fell the next morning from 25 to 121-2 c<-n r per
lb. but the Ohio becarau closed with ice, and
locked up tho boats. About February 8-h beef
had risen to 87 1-2 cents. The city was full of
strangers, and u famine predicted; in anodier
week boats came down in fleets, nnd before I
left the city, on tho 8th of March, good beef
could be bought at 6 1-4 cents pe* >h. '
Noxt come the vegetable and ttsi. market,
nearly of the same size and appearance as dip
moat hall. Tho variety nnd delicacy of the
lettuces, cresses, carrots, artichokes, green peas, \ —
kidney beans, dec. which flourish here through
the winter, is astonishing. Nor is the richness
at the fish to bo complained of; but the wild
fowls of the various lagoons (small lakes) in the
vicinity, is the most finished dish for the epi
cure. Market at New Orleans commences at
sun-rise, and continues, for somo articles, till
near nOon, but the high press ofittendnneois^
from seven till eight o’clock. It "is remarka
ble that hero it is tho fashion, contrary to most
southern cities, for tbo ladies to go to tho mar
ket themselves, which they de in a costume not
much less gay titan that in which they appear at .
the church or the thoatrr. .The market indeed
is' quite a fashionable promenade, and bTceOrse
is extremely crowded.
I have thus attempted a faint sketch of tho
busy Leveo of New Orleans.—On Saturday
May 5th, as I wandered for the last time to its
utmost limits, my mind was led [pa. review of
its changes, known and supposed, during the *
fifty years which aro to constitufe me first, hjjlf .
of the nineteenth century In the year
the same ri?er flowed past its limits as at pres--'. -
ent, bringing, as it docs now, tho superfluous
moisture, drained from one million two hund-
dred and fifty thousand -square miles, a space
nearly equal to the half of Europe, but tnors
were no steam boats on its surface, apd but few
arks of freemen vontured within the limits of
Spanish tyranny So corruption. Ships need
not visit a port whore there \ya* nothing to soil,
and but few parsons to piftcbase-'tfieir cargoes.
The Lovce itself, instead of being coated with
small shells, so as to produce a parade on which
the most delicate foot can tread.With pleasure
and.,without imbibing damp, was either swept
beforo the winds in clouds of^pit, or was .un
do deep in ricli mud from (tr^.river. No drains
or channels <carried off the rains of hoavon.
Henco disease like a pcsfjlende infected the
atmosphere, and tho capital of-’Xuuisiana was
justly considered a common sewer, notwith
standing the beputity’of its position, mid th@
rich taste with-which many of the mansions of
tho Froncli Creolo plantors had.becn laid out.
But a dexterous manoeuvre of Napoleon and
Jefferson caused a transfer froth Spain to Franca
und from Franco to America, wbicjt has literal
ly caused “th» desert to rejoice and blossom
like the rose." Tho few thousand French re
maining in Louisiana havo bra, augmented by
numbers from Franco itself, and from the West. .
India possessions; while they have been united
to a vast number ofenorjetic emigrants from tho
northwestern pa/ts of the United States. Tito
city now numbers nbout 50,000 people. Tho
whole extent of tho Mississippi basin, which iu *
1800 contained less thim.five hundred thousand
white people, now contains oonrly threo mil
lions. Lookingdown the Vista of timo, in 1850,
on the stmo raito, New Orleans will surpass
what New York now is, and tne whole valley
of tho Mississippi tho aggregate population of
the British Islands.
From the Morning Courier.
Who are the Great Men of Me.iVa/iiwj^-Thls
is a qiiestio which is often asked A ;but perhaps'
no two individuals ever made tile same reply to
it. If tlio question called for tho designation^
of one, two, or three great tnoq, there would,* '
no dopbt, bo great unanimity of opinion in re- .
lation to certain individuals, and for tho good
reason, that, they either fill, or are candidates
for the highest offico in the gift of the people.
Avery great majority pf.mankind are 'firmly
persuaded that all such necessarily great men,*
and, to a certain exteut, in this country it is a
safoznodo of judging. It-is to bo regretted,
however, that those who Judge of merit by this
rule, necessarily abopt its opposite, viz
who do not fill important public offices, or who
are not beforo the people as candidates for theso
offices, aro inferior in talonts to those who are
thns advantageously known. This is a serious
evil, and calculated to keep iu obscurity many
whoso talonts and education are of, the first
order, .and whose services would be beneficial
to the interests and reputation of the coun
