, It was mentioned, a short time since, that a
person had arrived here from France, to make
some-proposition respecting an exchange of pri-
soners ; some questions were last night asked upon
the subject, in the House of Lords, by the Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE, to WhiCh it was replied, by
the Earl of LIVFAPOOL, that the intimation made
by the French Government was merely ,verbal,
and was in substance the same proposition which
bad been before rejected Its inadmissible, and that.
our Government sent back an answer, stating
their readiness to enter into a negociation for an
exchange of prisoners on the basis before offered.
It will be at once seen, that the intimation
front the French Government was entirely decep-
Cons and illusory. The British .Government went
as far in concession, on the former occasion, as
their duty to the country would allow; and therer
fore the sufferings of the prisoners, front their pro-
tracted captivity, are entirely to heuttributed to
BooKA.PAara, but for whose inhumanity an ex-
change might have• been efit:eted upon just and
equitable terms.

Some more American P,apers bare been receiv-
ed. It appears by theat.that the Ainericans seem
under great apprehension of our making tome at-
tau port their 'wag, and confess that the block-

The ollicer, in whose ehargb•they were, - would
suffer no questions to be put to them, as to the,
affair in wilich they had been engaged. It was
believed, however,that much blood had been shed
bet Ween the French. troops and the peasa»try in
