Extract of a letter from London, January 23, [Evening.]
"On 'Change, I received a letter from Paris, (of the 16th instant,) which says, "Whilst the civil authorities gave us hopes of a favourable change, the military authorities were giving orders to confiscate American property at St. Sebastians;--and by letters from Naples, of the 1st, we find that similar measures were taking there."
Thus a new and shameful instance of French perfidy is added to the list, already almost infinite.
