date says
almost all the members of the Bona
parre family, says The Pressc, are preparing
to leave Europe, and 10 remove to the
United States OF America, in consequence
Of the advice of certain soverelgns who
had constantly given them marks OF their
good will, and of the greater part of their
old friends in France, They have them
selves felt that their remaining in coun.
tries where a degree of political agitation
Is conslan, y atloat will expose them 10 in.
convenlcnces and suspicion, however pru.
dent they may be- aud late events have
convinced them that their tranquility de-
ponds upon their Withdrawing. Orders
have been given for the sale OF all the i'm.
mensc estates they possess in Italy; and
in few mooths there will not be left in
Europe any one of the family Of Bona
partc, except two females, whose state OF
health dlsables them from bearing the ia.
igucs of the voyage to America.
