night!' garden, which is to be open as formerly to

In Come of the papers of laR week a Paragraph
was infected, Rating, that a confiderable Weft India
Houle had flopped payment for upwards of Foo,oool.
and that at a rneetiv of Creditors things appeared
rather favourable. Thefe papers moll fincerely re-
gret that they 1114,u1d have been inarnmental to the
circni.vion of a report, which, from the rranntr of its
being gircn, mull have been occalloned by fome
envious or ill difpnfed perfcn, either for the purpnfe
of creating an alarm at the expence of the refpeCt-
able Houfe in queftion, or for the Rill more
abominable purpole of prejudicing the Country at
large, by injuring the numerous mercantile efla-
hhOhnients dependent on them. The fag is, and
we pledge ourfelves to the truth of it, that .the
unexpeCted war having interpofed very extenfive
obflacles to the procuring Remittances of Produce
from the Well Indies in that regular order which
either a continuance of the late War, or of the

Pcace, would have fecured, a meeting of the Bill-
holders was lucid, when it was agreed to allow the
Houle an e mention of the periods of their bills falling
due, in cafe it ()mold be required ; In that, infield of
things cptearing rat4er fat•'nrad/r," the Bill Holders
were Co fa:isfied of the liability and integrity of the
Hoofs, as at once to tally their unbounded confi-
dence, by confenting to give the accommodation
before mentioned, though the engagements of the
Houle amounted to about a miilion ! This, wl.ila

it ruts the charaeer of the Houle in the highell
point f v:evr, mull afford this firiking leffon to our
Enemie+, that the Credit of our Merchants, and the
confidence placed in them, are as unlimited as are
the ~wear of affording commercial accommodatioo
%ben n.:ectfary.
