It is stated that the Committee of Confederate
Bondholders are actively engaged in bringing their
claims to the attention of Government with a view
to the consideration of them as against those of the
American GovernMent in relation to the Alabama
and other claims.
We are requested to insert the following com-
munication :
" The Eastern Assam Tea Company (Limited).
" London, Nov. 13, 1866.
"To the Shareholders of the Eastern Assam Tea Company
(Limited).
"Gentlemen,—With reference to the report of the coin-
Mates of investigation, to be presented to the meeting of
Shareholders of the company this day, at 2 o'clock, I beg
to state, on behalf of myself and co-vendors, that I only
received a copy of the report yesterday morning, and that
it is impossible the vendors could reply in one day to what
has taken the committee three weeks to draw up, but that
a reply will be prepared and submitted to the shareholders
with all possible despatch.
"4111 the vendors need state at present is that the re-
Port of the committee is a tissue of misrepresentations,
Illisquotations,.and of gross calumnies, which the vendors
will be able to refute in the most complete andsatisfactory
manner.

"The vendors will show that they have fulfilled their
contract fully, fairly, and honourably, and that the gardens
are all that they were represented to be.—l am, Gentle-
r4on, your most obedient servant,

" G. R. BARRY,
For Self and co-Vendors."
