Louis. I applied to several gentlemen, with whom I had become acquai\ited, for letters of recommendation which thev kindly gave me, and in the month of December, ISU, I sailed for New Orleans. Here I was taken sick, nnd I was confined to my house for some weeks, which entirely exhausted the reinnanw of my hard earned money. On my recovery, I engaged on board of a schooner that was tra- ding upon Lake Ponchartrain. After being in her some weeks, the captain left her, to take charge of another ve...ssel, and I was instated into the place left vacant by him. Calling upon the owners for my wages, they put me off from time to time, until my patience was ex- hausted, and I libelled the vessel. It appeared afterwards that my employers had not paid for her, and wlicu she was bid off at auction the real owner bought her in for 8240. I was appointed keeper un- der the direction of the court, for which I received 82. 50 per day for 30 days, and this was all that 1 received for my services, while on board the schooner, for the other expenses of the court entirely con- sumed the petty amount she \ias sold for.
