"t> & O-Jforeign Jureilijjeitce, HAMBURG, November 7. commercial. v '*■ We beg leave to redify the erroneous statement of fcveral English and continental prints refpedinj; tbs bankruptcy of the great banking hmife of Wolff, Levin, Pop pert and co. in Hamburg. Private letters often mention ttmpomrj fioppttgts of payments as bankruptcies, which is very irjnrious to the affairs of such houfcs. Not only the above hou£c, but thre? more refpeftable ones, obliged to (top payment, have been placed under adminiftraiion, and their bufinef* Continues as usual. The Commercial Journal of Pan's men tions the failure of Messrs. Ri.cker and Weftphalen, which wc hereby think. Qt>r felves likewise obliged to contradia. and to beg of our readers henceforth not to place too much confidence in reports of this kind, unless they are confirnvtd in this Journal. The merchants of Hamburg having of late beerv supplied with cafli and bullion, pubue credit ttio confidence * egin to revive on the exchange, and we flatter otirfclve* .that .trade will soon resume i.ts wonted ac tivity, notwithftandug some failures have taken place at Berlin, Frankfort &c. which' might be expeded as the unavoidable eon fequence >f those which happened at Ham burg. The gr.at merchants of London, Liverpool a d Bristol, having w athered the dorm of the sudden and dangerous fall of merchandize, even beyond all exptfta tio>), the cloud* on the commercial horizon of Kurope may row be loftked upon as dis persed, and by next fpriog, trade and navi gation, will, no doubt, lourifh again, op a basis more solid, and to an extent mora ira- I portant tban ever.
