NEW OR'LEANS, the capital of Louifiana in North 
America, fituated on the ead bank of the Mifliifippi, nine¬ 
ty-five miles from the mouth of the river. Lat. 30.2. N. 
Ion. 89. 53. W. The town is regularly laid out, thedreets 
running at right angles; but they are very narrow, and 
unpaved. This town differed much by fire in 1788, being 
reduced from 1100 to 200 houfes in three hours ; but it 
has fince been rebuilt, principally of brick, and not 
as before of timber, with flated roofs. Thofe that are 
condrufted of brick confid of two dories, without cellars ; 
and the old wooden houfes are of one dory, railed from 
the ground for the accommodation of cellars. Some few 
houfes have piazzas. The public buildings are, a hand- 
fome catholic church, a government lioufe, a calabozo, 
or prifon, which alfo ferves as a court-houfe, a convent, 
barracks for the foldiers, king’s hofpital, a lunatic hofpi- 
tal, and a fmall market-houfe. 
The Miffiffippi, being fubjeft to an annual overflowing 
of its banks, like the Nile, is kept withinits proper bed by 
means of a mound of earth thrown up along the fhore : 
this mound is called the levee, and varies in its height, ac¬ 
cording to the furface of the adjoining country, from two 
to three, and even four, feet. It commences at Detour 
des Anglois, a didance of eighteen miles below New Or¬ 
leans, and is carried along the banks of the river as far 
as the German fettlements, which are more than thirty 
miles above New Orleans, making in the whole about 
fifty miles. This bank is of a confiderable width in fome 
places, fo as to form a handfome broad walk ; and is kept 
up by the owners of the adjoining plantations, who are 
anfwerable for any damage fudained by the breaking down 
of the bank, if through their negleft. As all this coun¬ 
try is very low and flat, and confequently liable to be 
overflowed, thefe levees are oftentimes continued round 
the whole of the plantation; fo that, at the time of the 
inundation of the river, the furface of the furrounding 
water is confiderably above the plantation, which feems 
to lie in a bed within it. The levee, which forms the boun¬ 
dary here, is a handfome raifed gravel walk, planted with 
orange-trees, and ferves as a place of fafliionable refort 
on a fummer’s evening for the inhabitants of the city. 
To the north-ead of the town are large marfhes, which 
contribute to render it unwholefome in fummer and au¬ 
tumn, particularly to drangers ; whereas the condant in¬ 
habitants are never afflifted by the epidemic difeafes which 
prevail among foreigners, but are faid to be as long-lived 
as the inhabitants of the- northern parts of the United 
States. Lake Pontchartrain communicates with the town 
by means of the creek St.John, which proceeds from the 
lakes through a courfe of fix miles, and within two miles
