sailing about in the Gulf, on professional business
—and he come acrossCoLNicholl's ; the'two fell
into conversation, and the Cal. got to know some
thing ofLeFitte's character and business; and,
' ' thinking - that he"could easily bribe him to serve
as a pilot for the:British fleet, he told hint of their
..plans, and then proposed giving La Fitte 'large .
'' reward, provided he would assist them.- When
La Fitte heard all, he refustki to engage in their
service;_and, as I said, is here to communicate
what bediscovered to our Governor. And, in my
estimation, it will be d—d mean on the part of
;,,,the city, if they don't give him twice the amount
Nicholls' offered him. But /had almastfoigotten,

assist you in taking this girl of yours; you had
better see him, though, 'Hen. I will -go out and
look him up, and make. arrangenaents so that we
can see him this evening"
Well I do Ned," reSponded the pleased Henry,
and I will not forget you." ; .
Simpson arose and took his leave._ I will not
follow him in his search ;:but pass to the contem
plation of another character in my story.
In a room ; on the second - floor of a hotel, in the
lower.part of the city, sat a tall, well. proportion
d, and athletic man, and, from appearance, about
•
;,twenty - -years of age. His, hair was jet black,
coarse and turlY. • His •• eye.brows were heavy;
his eyeswere black and piercing ; his mustaches,
a ta mado de nrk ; hisbeani was thick, welltritia;
med and combed; his dress was to fashion and
rich. His whole appearance indicated gentility,
firmness and desperation. Upon the table, at his
side, was a lamp, an elegant short sword and 'a
: brace of pistols. His eye - was- resting on the
door, and he appeared to be musing; from his ' fret
' quent and hasty glances at the doer; it is evident
:5 - that he expects a visitor--this is La Fitte, the
captain of the celebrated Batatariao banditti,
ilia banditti consisted of between five and six .
hundred menibers; and had their rendezvOus on
- -
- island - called Barataria, which was situated on
the bog or lake bearing the same name, and'west
of the month of the Mississippi. ,
While'La Fit te is waiting for _his visitor. or
visitors, will give a brief sketch of his liiatc;i9;
Ete: was son to a once wealthy importer of
New York; but - whose wealth was so much
injured by British outrage, when they carried the
rule of 1756 into practice, that he sunk> under it
and died. The stroke thus inflicted upon his wife,
destroyed her spirits and her health—and a few
months found her at the side of ber husband, in
thecold grave. La Fitte was the - only surviving
member of the family; he was about twenty-two
years of age.; had spent much .of his life at sea;
was bold t persevering, and in every way qualified
to take charge of a vessel. . But, instead of taking
hold of his father's shattered business, for the pur
pose of righting it op; ale closed the establishment,
made sale of all his property, and bought a schoon
er. This, he armed in the most complete manner,
, and manned withthe most desperate and deter
mined men he could obtain. With this vessel, he
, ,
set out to seek upon the destroyers of his
mother and-father, as he termed the British.
After following the sea for one year, be found
that it would be necessary to seek a place• of Teri.
dezvons on land, and selected -as a very; Suitable
place, the island of Baratania. From this' island,
which was almost inaccessible, he carried on with
unparalleled success his piratical exploits --and
for theimost part against the British. It was in
accordance with his sworn determination to hate
sevengeon the English that he sifted Col. Nich. l
cills, -and carried the - information 'to Governor
Claiborne; and in doing so, he , exposed hiinself
very much, for there was a large reward 'then of
fered for his capture.
_ _

must, return. - Sirup:ion has introduced Efenry
Rotate and ex - casing himielf bas re re . e
have now: before tis Messrs. La Fitte and La. Ronde
~-two, very conspicuouss - characters in our narra
tive. •After the exit of Simpson, the two remain
ed silent for a few minutes. La Fitte perceiving
no movement on the 'part of his companion to
speak, turned tovrards him and .said,—A , Mr,. La
Ronde, our mutual- friend, Ned Simpson, initrins
mft that you have e very important enterprise on
hand, in the execution of which you desire my.
services:"." _ - - • -
, •
":Yes, Captain, I have a very important adven
.
tare on hand, and one which, if it _proves success
fnlwill enable me to reward: you , liberally for
your seryice.
" ...- „What is; the - nature :of your enter rise Mr.
La Ronde - Fitte; as be drummed

In:answer to this, La Ronde stated his design
and desires, as it regarded the abduction ot Caro
line Villere. To all this i La Fitte listened with
.
out a word. When La:Ronde was 4pne speaking,,
La Fitte, looking directly In his face, remarked,--
So, this is youte.important enterprise, is it?"
Now, what part do you desire me to - perform in

for an address to the Queen to withhold the Royal
assent fOrm the Canada rebellion losses indemnity
bill, until'assurances should be received that no
parties implicated in , the rebellion should , partici
.pate in the indemnity, was the rejection of the rim
%ion by an overwhelming vote—there being 291
opposed, to 150 in favor of it. Majority in favor
of the policy of Ministers, i. e. for the allowance
01 the bill, 141. The division took place on the
evening of. Tune 15th. The London Times of the
next day says:-. _
"A division of nearly two to one in a numerous
House will prove to the CanadikriLegislature,that
we, at home, confide in their loyalty• and' respect
their_ independence. We are ready to ascribe to
them. the best: and most straight forward intentions;
and, at all events, have no idea of fostering a cor.'
rupt and tyrannical minority in the colony, to"re.
present" British dominion, and crush Colonial , free
dom. The House of Como:ions, we trust, has done
with.the quarrel. Though the penalty is greet,
something has been gained by it. There has been
sudden illumination, where, illumination was
certainly wanted, on the real nature and rights of
a responsible Government, and the relation of a
free State to free colonies. The Colonial House
of Assembly has been subjected to a very severe
scrutiny, - and has come out, with credit. Its act,
frained for.• a delicate jitirpose, and under peculiar
difficulties, has, to be sure, incurred the censure of
Mose who show their knowledge of law by deman
ding that the Executive shall interpret it at discre.
lion- but it has had the good fortune to be approv
