John P. have been communicated from such authority as leaves us no room to doubt their authenticity. It is a common practice at A'ew-Oi leans to send an agent abroad to the West-Indies, and even Afri ca, to purchase a cargo ot slaves. They are then brought to the United States for about one third what they can he purchased at here. So soon as the slave ship arrives olV the Balize, the agent leaves her, and goes in the most expeditious man ner to JMew-Orleuns, where lie gives information lo the proper authority, that a ceitain vessel is in the Mississippi river, said to be bound to New- Orleans, and having on board a certain number ol negro slaves, contrary to the law of the United States. The vessel and cargo are libelled : and the slaves are sold at public vendue, and purchas ed cheap, by common consent, for the account of the original importer. One half of the purchase money goes to the United States, md the other half to the informer, who, as before mentioned, is the agent of the owner of the slaves. Thus, af ter all expenses, negro staves are imported at less than hall what they would cost in the United States. In this way not less than 10,000 slaves have been imported into Louisiana in the year last past. -■ i- ed to their care will receive prompt attention. John II Wright <$• Co. Milledgeville.
