, AMERICAN a6airs-Our readers win
glance with avidity on every article Of
our foreign department, which. relates
in any way 70 the affairs Of this country.
To the several matters which will be
found in that place, We, therefore, add
the following from the Sun Of July Sd
"A considerable number OF merchants,
engaged in trade to America, yesterday
assembled at the London tavern, for the
purpose ofentering into a consideration
Of the probable effects which the late ac-
ton between his majesty's ship Leopard
and the Chesapeake American frigate,
may produce upon osr intercourse with
the United States. Mr., SAMSON, the
banker. who was called to the chair, 10.
formed the company, that he hsd been
fayoured with an interview with the &c.
cretary Of state ( Mr.. canning) on the
, important subjeet which had occasioned
~sh. present meeting, and i was with
much pleasure he stated, that the no.,
nourahle secretary manifested an earnest
desire to preserve the most amicahle. re-
iasions between the two countries bun
that as no authentic particulars had yet
come under the coenizance of govern.
ment, respecting the late unforlunate
transaction, il was impossible to enter.
into discussion as to its probable COM.
sequences, Mr.. SAMSON, however, had
the satisfaction Of adding, that in order
10 maintain friendly disposition, Mr..
Gaming had already had an interview
with Mr.. Manroe the American minis
Ter, at which it was mutually agreed,
that If the conduct OF either Of the com. 4
mauders should be found ernsnrable.
the aggsieved state should receive all
proper PREPARATION from the other. This
information was highly gratifying to the /
company, aud must Of course have the
same effect upon the public a, large. who
may Be assured that ministers will nei-
ther compromise the honor of their eoun-
try, nor give any sanction to a wanton
attack upon any other state with which
we are in amity." 'a,alaa,. Il u.
