5902. NEW ORLEANS, Battle of.—[further continued].

The affair of New Orleans
was fraught with useful lessons to ourselves,
our enemies, and our friends, and will
powerfully influence our future relations with
the nations of Europe. It will show them we
mean to take no part in their wars, and count
no odds when engaged in our own.—
