DISPUTE TVITII SPEY.

WE yesterday animadverted on the shameful mis.
representation of ;S.Motning Paper, respeCting the
Meeting of Merchants at Lord HARROWBY'S Office.
This day the same Paper contradicts, from autho.
rity, its. own calumnies and falsehtiods, but without
offering any apology to its Readers, or expressing
any contrition for such disgraceful =duet. On
Thuraddy, ihe Paper to which we allude, in corn..
menting upon the Meeting at ,Lord HARROWBY'I)
has the following paragraphs :

- -
Ministers are about to do a thing of the policy of which
they are doubtful ; and like foolish people that have done,
or' are about to do an absurd thing, they consult and adVise,
not with a view to wise conduct, but merely to add the so-
lemnity of deliberition to -what is resolved, and the counte-
nance of approtrtion to what is past _remedy."
" But the motives are perfeelly obvious.—lt was, in our
view, cowardice in Ministers, who wished to divide the capon-
siG7lis of War with the Merchants. In the next place it
was mean—for it was below. the dignity of Government to
hold such free and equal Cosferences of State and Paley with
Committees from the City. On matters of detail the „Mer-
chants might have been consulted ; when any thing was-de-
cided it was fit to 'give them the earliest intermation ; but it
was wholly new, to erect a
.Deputation of Merchants •into
the Arrersors- of His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, to a,isisr hire through this difficult ancicritical NCO-
tiation tyith Spain,"

This day the same Paper has inrrted. the follow-
ing Letter frorn Mr. Tukatsuo„..the Chairman of
the Committee of Merchants that waited upon Lird
HAa.a.o,waY :

31R, •
The substance and particulars of what passed at the inter-
^view which took place at Lord Ha. a sowar's Office, en
Tuesday last, the 25th instant, between his Lordship and a
Committee of the Spanish Merchants, who, by Ins desire,
waited on him, having been very erroneously stated in the
Publid Newspapers, 1 have been desired by the Gentlemen
of that Committee, to request that you would insert in your
Paper, that the sole communication which his Lordship
matte on that occasion was, in substance, as follows
" That his. lordship had desired to see us in order to ac-
quaint us, that His Majesty's Ministers had received
puce that considerable Armaments were preparing in the
Ports of Spain, of which no explanation whatever nut been
received, nor did it appear likely that any satistadory expla-
nation could be given; and his Lordship Added, that he had
thought it proper to communicate this information to us. in
order that the Merchants concerned in the trade with Spain
might then ad in their commercial concerns as they might
judge expedient."
Lord R gOWßYgave no further information than the i
above on the subject n question, either at the first meeting,
or at the one of yesterday, which was confined to a particular
application from the Merchants, forthe convenience of trade.
1 am, Sir, your. very obedient Servant,
