* A relative of the writer, at that time in Lombardy, had expressed his opinions freely upon political topics, and, while travelling near Milan, his carriage was stopped by government officials, who arrested him as an English man. He was sent to Paris, and imprisoned in the Temple. Here he remained for some weeks, when, by a fortunate mistake, some of his clothes were put into the wrong basket, by his laundress, and sent to his friend, Mr. Irving, by whom she was also employed. Mr. Irving, obse...rving the mark, learned, upon inquiry, that they belonged to a prisoner in the Temple ; and, opening a correspondence through the laundress, by his generous exertions, and his influence with the proper authorities, was soon able to prove the prisoner an American, and to procure his release. Meanwhile, his servant, who had been permitted to go free, had returned to this country, and, by his account of the arrest, created much anxiety and consternation among the friends and family of his master. 220 LIFE AND WRITINGS Notwithstanding these vexatious encroachments upon the rights of neutrality, American vessels had been for many years the carriers of Europe, and the community upon the seaboard, enriched by enormous freights and profits, patiently bore its occasional losses from illegal spoliations and detentions.
