KENTUCKY LEGIsLATURE.

The House OF Representatives we under
stand passed bill during the last week, of an
extraordinary character, namely, the repeal
OF all Execution laws except those declared
unconstitutional by the Court of Appeals
The object Of this bold measure we presume
is, estensibly, TO afford relief 10 debtors but
we think it somewhat doubtful whether it
will pass the Senate. It'll the general belief,
that the bill appropriaiing the literary fund to
the reliefof the Treasury will be adopted.

LONDON. Nov. 24.-The Secretary of the
Shipowners' Society had, on Saturday, an in
tersiew with Government, at the instance of
several OF the merchants and shipowners en-
gagged in the trade with Spanish America, for
the purposes Of ascertaining whether there
was any real foundation for the rumors which
have been circulated in some ofthe pewspa
pers, OF its being the intention Of the French
Government to assist Spain in attempting the
reconquest of her late colonies. The most
satisfactory and unqualified assurances were.
gwen by Government-that there was not
the slightest pretence for imputing any such
design To The French GOvernment--that the
French frigate Jean Ba,t, which had sailed
some time since from France to the West In
dies, was on her return to France, and that
no force was going out from France TO the
Yves, Indies, excepting 500 men fur relieving
the garrison of Martinique and Guadaloupe.e
IL was stated Ia Government, that fourteen
ships were now loading in London and Liver
pool for the Spanish American ports and that.
of course, IL the rumur alluded to, had been
well founded, il would not be- prudent for the
Merchants to continue sending their propertv
~ that direction. The answer given 10 this
was, that Government saw no reason why the
commercial intercourse which individuals
m'ght think proper to carry on with those
Countries, should be suspended
TouchnS the report, that there was 10 be
an addition Of 10000 to the standing Army.
IT is answered that nothing of the kind is in
contemplation. Some recruits will be raised
TO supply the place"f the Regiments under
orders for the West Indies.
In The teeth of these pacific indications, we
have To state, on Saturday last the Victuang
Office published tender for further supply
