LONDON, September 29.-The following is a
statement Of intelligence which was received
81. IL
of upon the exchange =
- Ii will be recoliectcd that few year, ago,
about $50 vessels, with valuable carsoes, were
seized in Russia their carvoes were reported
TO lie OF great value; we believe several mil.
lions These ships bad, what at that time WAS
termed simulated papers, appeared to have
cleared out from Lisbon, from Tenerifie, aud
other, at that time, neutral or friendly ports
bound for Russia; and we believe in several
Instances, foreign houses in London sbipped
produce to their ports, TO be again reloaded in
Russia. AT the same time il was believed that
many OF these ships were entirely loaded in the
Thames, and only received The simulated pa
pers from The neutral ports. These vessels
were all insured at Lioyd's. When they arriy-
cd in the Baltic for different portsin Russia.
Sweden and Prussia, they were supposed 10
amount To three or four hundred sail Of yalua
BILE merchantmen; they remained for some
time IN the Sound, bat receiving assurances
from the consgnees of the carsoes, that all
was right, that they had received assurances
into the Russian ports; they were subsequept-
~ all seized aud coH:iscaied. The owners of
these rargoes in London, were all foreigners
though for length of time dOmcaied hare,
aud many, we believe. OF much respectabiiity.
On the other side, Us the affair was in some
shape or other compromised with the govern
ment of Russia, the Ensured i'm London made a
demand for lie whole amount insured and In
several instances 90. 20 or so per cert. was
settled till the compromise in Russia was
brought TO final conclusion. On ihe return |
OF peace between Russia and England the
Whole affair was laid before the Russian 40
vernment. and the English ministry made re |
peated applications TO the court on this subject |

periods since, great promises were held out 7
that the affair would he satisfactorily adjusted |

allowed. The expectations on this subject |
were so great lew monks ago, that depnta. |

Lioyds, departed for Russia, TO bring the bnsi-
ness TO "a final close. At the head OF the depu

taken an untavorable turn and Yesterday Iet
