THE CASE OF REIMBAUD.
From the Feulle du Commerce, Jan. 1s
hessrs. Deslandes and Vacin notify all whom 1t may
concern that in calling together the creditors of Mr. E.
Reimbaud, 10 submit 70 them propositions on his part
their only desire to both parties As the debtor
and his creditors cannot meet for consideration II
deemed TO obtain assistance of whose
character would be sufficient guarantee that everything
would be arranged in fair and honorable manner. For
this purpose Messrs. Deslandes ana Vacin have called
together the creditors, although they say they are not
as has been asserted by awyerthe advocates of Mr. T.
Reimbaud.
Reimbard himself Nps published the following card
II is my duty 70 state that the orders have furnished
different houses here with their acceptance which
pired on the 26.h Of last month, have been seted
by with the holders Of said acceptances,
either in specie in goods received in payment; and
If the said have remained in their hands, IL is only
In consequence of negligence on my part
make this statement having learned that the holders

The Reimbdad Fiilure-Sate " Trade-Adcice 10 An,er
can Houses, dc, dc.
No additional light has been thrown on the Reimbaud
affair." and the state of trade is tho when
wrote last In the long number of years that have spent
this island have witnessed ything like the
calamity caused by this rascal Nobody has got any mo-
ney, and everybody must pay "Sd,s qui pes' Is the
cry and self the object which prompts every
house the island to push the others number Of
sells have already left in ballast for other ports, and
good many more will have to follow the There
is not enough logwood hand 10 ballast those that
leaving and our sto,k Of coffee hardly 200 bags with
prospect at all OF being increased Some forced
sales Of dry goods have been made at ruinous prices
still, American provisions, being rather scarce show
tendency to rise in value OF the sales limited
to the strictly necessary articles, and of these but little
is sold.
How many houses may have TO fail in consequence of
the dsgracefu state Of business tell; BESIDES 1t

dred times bankrupt-s with sert Of 81 Indifference,
they continue TO do business all the time waiting only for
favorable opportunity to get fairy their legs again
The business done in New York and Boston with this
island will have 10 undergo serious notifications have
often been astonished bow any young men, with not
cent OF capital could 60 there and get credit for few
shiploads Of provisions. All this will have to be done
AWAY with and s much better for those merchants who
have been trading with Hayt 10 lose the oustandngs
at once and take a new start than TO be running In
deeper all the time This Is assertion, but
perfectly sure that the future will endorse it, These small
merchants have been spelling the American trade entirely,
by forced sales a. cost and sometimes below that
How they possibly fulfil their engagements now after
Rembaud has cleared them out with capital at all
money in hand and hard pressed from all sides2 II Ia
only the credit from the States that could do So but
hope the Yankees will length open their eyes, and give
my advice second sober thought before they ia
deeper.
After that the American trade would be the best the
island, and there would be Losses 20 fear anf no
Rembauds to run away with other peoples money
There is no news from St Domingo.
