Washington, Dec. 13.

London papers to the 7tii of November have been received at New-York, bv the

picket ship york. The London Morning1 Chronicle of Nov. 7, says the late faiitnc ol the great American house in London. (Mr. S. Williams,) will give rise to only a tiifling loss. The payments of the respectable firm weie suspended, owing to heavy acceptmiccs on American account, to meet which, the expected pioduce did not ar!'.ve in lime, partly in consequence of the long prevalence of northeasterly winds. Some cargoes have since readied England, and the known character of the principal, as well as the offsets of the house, are. we learn, highly satisfactory to the temporary surTeitis."
