Columbian Centinel - Boston, Wed. Morning, January 25, 1815 - Invasion of NOLA

Description

"After stating the inaction which had so long existed there, they were rousing from their apathy; Gen.
JACKSON
was actively engaged in adopting measures of defense, and in fortifying the river and passages to the city...All the citizens are arming with alacrity - the arrival of Gen.
COFFEE
from Baton Rouge, with two thousand mounted men, is expected to-morrow evening - the Tennessee and Kentucky troops are looked for every moment - should they get here, we will be positively secure, but without them, should the force of Admiral
COCHRANE
not exceed our expectations, we will not despair of safety. So confident is Gen.
JACKSON
that the other avenues of approach are impracticable, that he expresses himself positively that the river must be the ultimate way of attack. All the business of the Courts is suspended for the moment - the Baratarians are about being sent to Baton Rouge."
