You may inform all those who have had bills of the navy drawn from America, that measures have been taken and funds provided for the punctual payment of all such bills as have been registered with the consent of the bearer. Two gentlemen, whose names I do not recollect, lately arrived in this city, found the Treasurers ready to discharge immediately a sum of about half a million, for amount of such bills, which they had in their hands. These gentlemen were formerly contractors for the French army in America, and had also purchased many bills at a great discount: the whole amount will be paid to them in a very short time.
