TrtensiUe Frauds. We have been some time apprised that extensive frauds had been ptactised in entering Iaiid at the land office in New Orleans, but did not know until recently that they extended beyond entries in the parish Of Point Coupee.-- During the past week, however, informa- ton has reached us on which we rely, that these frauds extend over the parishes of Point Coupee, West Baton Rouge, iber- vile, Lafourche, Interior Terrebonne, Ayo- eylles, Rapide, St. Landry, Lafayette, St. Mary and St. Martin.

 Justice to the Registers of the Land Of fees and Receivers of Public Monies at New Orleans and Opelonsas, requires that we should state that we have not heard an imputailon against their integrity. They have, as we believe, beer induced 10 pass forged claims, sustained by perjury. So extensive have these frauds been, as our information induces us to believe, that there IS not an acre of land west of the Missis- sippi, and south of Red River, that has not been covered.

 "s.umor, with her hundred tongues,' ventures to pronounce that some deputy surveyors have figured largely in this nefa- rious business. It is added that Col. Will Hams, the Surveyor General, with discre- tion which reflects much credit on him, has been inquiring into these doings, and will render every assistance in his power to de- tect the culprIts, and enable the govern ment to annul every fraudulent entry.

 It is highly probable that our representa- lives in Congress from the first and second districts, and Senator Porter possess some information on this subject. If they do, their characters for integrity are guarantees that t will not be withheld from the proper authorities at iYashington.--.St. Fraacis- riHe Journal.
