Assivrco and Company. The authors of this fraudu-
l_ent enterprize have been arrested.' All the papers

`lense with almost every part of the Continent.

them, and now on their way, shall be deposited in
Place of safety on their arrival at Bourdeaux, till

long,. The names of the parties arrested are, AN-
