Louisiana Legislature.

New Orleans, Dec. 13.
--On Wednesday, in the House of Representatives the Committee reported unfavorably on Mr. McFee's bill for the confiscation of goods from the North.

When the Mississippi resolutions came up, Convention of the two Houses was held, and in eloquent address was delivered by Mr. Lutams, the Commissioner from Mississippi. Many ladies were present, and great interest prevailed.

Mr. Bark, of LaFourche, offered a resolution for Commissioners to visit all the Southern States, on which a long debate occurred.

Mr. McFee offered a resolution, directing the purchase of arms in foreign countries, in preference to the North.

Randall Hunt, of New Orleans, made an eloquent speech on the Convention bill, which passed without amendment.

After appropriate resolutions of thanks, and for communication with other States, the Legislature adjourned.
