IT is reported that BoItiPARTE has {Stied in
order for imprisoning all the Americans in France,
04d sequestrating their property. We know not
whether this measure has been actually adopted,
but it is certain that several Citizens of the United
States' have lately arrived in this country from
France, in consequence of an apprehension that
Ounaeanre would resort to some violent. pro.
feeding against them.
IT is is with great pleasure we refer our Readers
to that part of the Letter below, which speaks of
the prosperous state of the negotiation for a ge.
?feral exchange of prisoners, We never had any
doubt, that our Government will give every faci-
lity to the final execution of this happy arrange.
