It is stated in the London papers of the nineteenth of August that authentic advices had been received from Spain which complain of the conduct of M. de Garay, towards the British merchants, and which had drawn from the latter the most pressing remonstrances. They complain that the Spanish minister has shown the most hostile spirit towards them—that the treaty is grossly violated—that they are subject to the most odious exactions; and that unless the British court shall interfere in a more effectual way than they have heretofore, that not only their interests, but the national honor, will materially suffer. These representations it is thought would produce their desired effect; and it had been reported at the Exchange, that a warm conference on the subject had actually taken place.
