Washington City, March 12.
Extract of a letter, dated Bordeaux, December 31.
"We regret to state that the French government put all American property under sequestration.
"Mr. Shaler, the messenger, passed through this place this morning, on his way to Paris, with the government dispatches, and will be there on Tuesday night, and we flatter ourselves that the nature of these dispatches is such as will alter the present hostile disposition of this government.
"This measure of the French government was executed only the 28th of this month, and was the less expected, as there were rumours of a very pacific nature towards America."
