(Mr. Powell reports that Syrians, naturalized citizens of the United States, are not included in the order of expulsion; that he has instructed American citizens to close their stores on April 1 in order to prevent danger from the populace, who may pillage and set fire to the houses of our citizens. All quiet at the present moment.)
