The Secretary of the Ship owners' Society had, on Satyr-
ityr an interview with Government, at the instance of
several of the Merchants and Ship owr ers engaged in the
trade with Spanish America, for the perpose of ascertain-
ing whether there was any r.al,foundatioa for the rumours
which have been circulated in somejof theinewspapers, of
its being the intention of the French Government to assist 1
Spain in attempting the conquest of her late Colonies. The
most satisfactory and unqualified assurances were given by
Government that there was net the slightest pretence foe
impedng any such design to the French Government,
that the French frigate "Jean Hart," which had sailed
some time since from France to the West Indies, was
do her return to France, and that no force was going
Whom France to the West Indies, excepting 500 Ines
be relieving the garrisons of Martinique and Guadalonpe.
li Irmehated to Government, that fourteen ships were now
hiding in London and Liverpool for the Spanish Amni-
on parG, and that, of coarse, if the rumour alluded to
hd teen well founded, it would not be prudent for the
Ilerchants to continue sending their property in that di-
rection. The answer given to this was, that tioternment
ant no reason why the commercial intercourse which in-
dividuals might think proper to carry on with those coon-Qist ,
should be suspended.—(Courier.)
