Convey An Officer To Barataria

 

The object of that inconsiderable expedition appears to have been to sound the disposition of the in- habitants of the Floridas and Louisiana; to procure the information necessary for more important opera-tions, and to secure pilots to conduct the expedition on our coast and.in our waters, rather than to attemptany thing of importance. 



Colonel Nichols directed captain Lockyer of the brig Sophia, to convey an officer to Barataria with a packet for Mr. Lafitte, or whoever else might be at the head of the privateers on Grande Terre.
