quite fair.
Mr. Baring agreed that the afansretn'ent

two years. Upon the whole, tie thought;

call it, brok? out in the course of yester
day, t M’Cariy’s plantation, about two
leagues above New-Orleans, and ou the

rcr,dy in the suburbs* at the back ami upper
end of the town; and is at the moment I am
writing, 10 u’etock in the morning, rising at
my door at the rate of two inches and a bul>

of the town is some feet Under water, at and
