Aff, ing the debts of the distressed unions, and enabling them to start on fair terms, so as to procure the necessaries required at the market prices of the several commodities. This will make the entire debt amount to 4,783,0001. sterling. The repayments of these sums are to be spread over a term of forty years. Interest is still to be paid on the portions which were originally intended to bear interest, while no additional charge is to be made for the further time allowed for the satisfaction of those ad vances, the principal whereof was only to be required from the debtors, according to the Acts by which these loans were sanctioned. The reasons assigned by the Noble Lord for the decision arrived at by the Cabinet are conclusive as to the propriety and expediency of the proposed course. He stated that two great dangers were to be avoided—" first, of allowing the people who have no longer the potato to depend on, and who have no more means than they previously possessed of obtaining wages for labour, to perish from famine, and next, of imposing such heavy burdens upon Ireland, that persons of property may be discouraged, and the pro duce of the soil may be insufficient to sustain the in habitants of the country." These are the " Scylla and "Charybdis," from which it is the duty of the Government to steer clear, and which require a nice discrimination and skilful pilotage to escape. From the diminished pressure of the poor-rates, and the increase of industrial employment in Ireland, there is every reasonable prospect that henceforward each union will be able to maintain its own paupers, if its resources are not absorbed by urgent demands from the Treasury f;r former debts. Any im mediate pressure for that purpose could only have the effect of preventing the ratepayers from being able to encounter the double burden for present subsistence and past arrears. Their efforts would totally fail, and the country would experience the evil effects of an overgrasping policy, by having to pay much more than would have been required had a more liberal course been pursued. The dread of the heavy arrears which might be demanded at any period has un doubtedly deterred capitalists from investing their money in the purchase or improvement of the Irish soil. This evil will now, however, be removed, and we may look forward with hope to the future pros pects of the country—that there will be fair employ ment and sufficient food for the people, and that the social condition of the nation may gradually be ele vated from its present depressed condition. After the gigantic scheme recently projected of a grand trunk railway from Calais to Moultan, what other scheme shall be deemed extravagant, or impos sible of realisation ? An electric telegraph commu nication between France and England, a tunnel to our antipodes, a balloon intercourse with the moon— anything worthy of being patented by Mr. llnesort, or advocated by Baron MUNCHAUSEN, any enterprize capable of enlisting the sympathies of M. CABET, or of ensuring the co-operation of the believers in the millennium, may surely, after this, be seriously enter , tained and applauded. Without wishing, however, to depreciate the daring of those adventurers, who occasionally arife to startle the world with their enormous novelties, and whose wildest dreams, notwithstanding their apparent impractica bility, are sometimes actually Carried out into a veritable achievement—it is impossible for us never theless to observe the prospectus of any such imagi nary route as the one spoken of between Calais and Moultan without indulging in a momentary smile of incredulity. That such schemes as these should be entertained for one moment even by the most visionary of speculators, and that derision should be cast upon others of an infinitely less inconceivable character, is to us an anomaly sufficient to provoke our indignation. With regard to the line of communication between this country and our Asiatic possessions, running across the centre of both con tinents, it is manifest at the very outset, for example, that the obstacles are more numerous and more gi gantic than could be discovered in almost every other quarter of the globe, whether habitable or uninhabit able. The broad and rapid rivers intersecting that line of route, the diversities of soil that have to be penetrated, the varieties of elevations requiring to be levelled, the different kinds of government to which the company would find itself amenable, to say no thing of the other morel, political, social, and physical obstructions remaining to be overcome, are enough of themselves to carry despair into the ima gination even rt . the most sanguine. What would become of the freedom of passage along such a rail road in the event of a continental wcr, or in the event of the recurrence of those wide-spreading and de vastating revolutions which in 1848 and 1849 con vulsed Europe to i:s fnundation ? Where would be the security of that iron causeway ? Are the rails never torn up on the occasion of a civic commotion ? Might no barricade be thrown across the line to impede the progress of the traveller or to lead to his destruction, through some horrible catastrophe ? Who would like to jeopardise their lives upon such a highway ? The peril could scarcely be less than that of journey ing by railroad over the smouldering craters of a long range of volcanoes, liable at every moment to expe rience the terrors of their eruptive violence. In re ferring thus, however, to the rumoured scheme of a steam intercourse between the cities of Calais and Moultan, we are not actuated by any serious intention of casting discredit upon a project whose very enormity is a proof positive that in the present state of things it is impracticable. Our purpose at this mo ment is rather to express regret that while people can take such fanciful enterprizes as these into con sideration, seriously or jocosely it matters not, other enterprises almost as great, it is true, but at the same time infinitely more capable of realisation, are passed over with an unpardonable indifference. Espe cially are we disposed to regret this circum stance, when we bear in mind that the latter schemes, while being positively and conspi cuously practicable, are calculated to ensure many advantages to the mother country, advantages, too, both immediate and permanent. One of these immense but still practicable schemes has already more than once occupied our attention ; but as our allusibris to it have not been recent, and as our recollection of it has been revived by a letter addressed to the Colonial Secretary by its originator, a printed copy of which letter has lately fallen into our hands, we cannot but deem the present an allowable opportunity for some additional reference to its character. The project to which we allude is that of laying down a railroad across the centre of our North American possessions, and of thereby establishing a direct com munication between the two great oceans, the Atlan tic and Pacific—the shortest route, if once opened, between England and her principal colonial terri tories, Canada, India, and Australia. From the com munication which has recalled to our remembrance this magnificent day-dream,* we perceive that the original projector of the scheme is still assiduous in its prosecution, and still as earnest as ever in his belief of its ultimate realisation. Nor can we our selves be less hopeful, unless we arrive atthe conviction that the Government of Great Britain is resolved to close its judgment against the acceptance of sound argument. Not a man amongst us with one iota of intelligence but must have long since recognised the necessity of some grand and comprehensive measure for the better government of our colonies, or rather, we should have said, for their actual conserva tion. - Without a change in our present system of colonial administration the notion of the permanence of our empire over those scattered possessions will very speedily begin to evaporate. What is required for the prevention of this calamitous disrup tion of the noblest and grandest colonial empire that ever owned the sway of one sceptre, either in ancient or modern times, is the binding o f the whole of the British possessions together with some connecting influence incapable of dissipa tion. Formerly, when error reigned supreme in Downing-greet, men fancied that this bond of union was discoverable in the maintenance of Protection. The miseries and privations of the masses at home, coupled with the growing discontent of our colonists, aided in the disruption of that commercial system already seen to be old, rotten, and obsolete. The people, the Parliament, and the G nernment per ceived, after profound consideration, the truth, the wisdom, and the beauty of those Free-trade princi ples which EBENEZER ELLIOTT, not long before his late lamented demise, condensed into the form cf this felicitous epigram : " Free trade means work for beef, not bone, It means that men are brothers, That every man should have his own, And nobody another's." Protection, therefore, having been proved altogether insufficient, it becomes an imperative duty upon our Administrators to contrive some other means of link ing together in a single chain of interests the enor mous fabric of the British Empire, home and colonial. It remains for others to show that the project of the Imperial Railway Communication between the Pacific and the Atlantic is not capable of gradual realisation. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Patric of Thursday evening contains the fol lowing paragraph : " Various rumours were in circulation at the Assem bly t ,- )-day relative to disturbances in the south, but these accounts are eery exaggerated. The Government had, it is said, been informed that a certain movement had taken place at Narbonne on the occasion of the car nival, but that it bad be en promptly repressed." The Ilioniteur announces that the PRESIDENT of the Republic has received a letter, by which his Ma jesty the Emperor of RUSSIA notifies the birth of a Grand Duke, a son of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke heir apparent ALEXANDER NICOLAI. WITCH. This Prince received the name of ALEXIS at the baptismal fcnt. The family of M. PROUDHON have been permitted to visit him at the Conciergerie. His journal, the Voix do Potpie, was again seized on Thursday. The Voix du People of yesterday thus announces the fact : Ob - ,eartiniia 11,111; LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1850. The statement made last night, in the House of Commons, by Lord JOHN RUSSELL reepecting the present condition and future prospects of Ireland, and the liberal and judicious propositions respecting the advances made to that unhappy land, and now due and owing to the Imperial Exchequer, will be re ceived with the utmost satisfaction on the other side of St. George's Channel. It was eminently prac tical, and well deserved the warm commendations and all but unanimous approbation which it received from Irish representatives_on every side of:the House. Members from the four provinces of Ireland, from Ulster, Munster, Leinster, and Connaught, tendered their warmest thanks to the Noble Premier for bringing forward a measure at once so comprehensive and so useful. There was one exception, and one only to the general rule. The Honourable Member for Meath, who has recently abandoned the glorious standard of free trade, and arrayed himself under the flaunting rag of protection, took exception to the views so ably put forward. The Honourable Gen tleman appears to have decided on adopting the course followed by a place-bunter of the last century, viz., " to take all he can get and keep grumbling." Nothing thatcould be suggested would satisfy his desires. Indeed we entertain but little doubt that if a carte blanche were placed before him, and he were asked to specify his own demands, he would subsequently find some thing objectionable in the arrangement, and give ex pression to the most bitter complaints at the ill-treat ment of his injured country. With the utmost indig nation he repudiated the idea that Ireland was a beggar, " a situation he despised," and in the very same breath he declared, that "he was unable to see sny means at all of returning the loans she had contracted." We shall not, however, dwell on the inconsistencies of the Protectionist son of the mighty GRATTAN. We gladly turn to a more congenial theme—the views and suggestions of her MAARSTT'S Government enunciated by the First Lord of the Treasury. The resolutions proposed by the Noble Lord, a n d Unanimously adopted by the House, were of a two fold character. First, with respect to the repay ment of the advances already made, and, secondly, to the further advances to be made during the present year for the relief of the divisions which may be termed, par excellence, "the distressed unions." And the reasons adduced on both points were such as to convince the mind of every unprejudiced person on the propriety and wisdom of the course suggested. On ate first point, it was shown that the entire sum now due by Irish unions to the National Ex chequer was 4,483,000/., which entire amount was made up of the following items, viz.: —For balance of loans advanced in the years 1839 and 1840, when a poor-law was first introduced into that country, 1,130,0007., to which is to be added 100,0001., which is intended to be advanced for the same purpose, of prov idi n g adequate workhouse accommodation in those districts V. here it is still defective ; then, fat the amount remaining unpaid under the 9th Victoria, cap . 107, of tl e sums advanced f or l a b our works in the spring of 184 G, 158,0001.; the sum lent during the famine year 1846-7, for which re payment was required, 2,305,0001., and advances, the;temporary Relief Ac t, 790,0001.—m a ki ng a / Ouse Wald 4,483,0001. In addition to the above, it ":;-; initinde . a to advance a further sum of 300,0001. during the present year, for the purpose of liquidst- ; I ~~ i * " Let.er to the Right Hon.

"A SEIZURE BY WEEK. "Tl - e 1 7 oi 2. du Peuple was seized yesterday. The in criminated articles are:— " 1. An article commencing with these words,—'Acts of the counter-revolution—the proconsulate—and finish ing thus :—The government will end like a bravache de corned;e in the midst of hooting& and hissing.: "2. An article, commencing by these words:—'Let all hesitating minds look about and learn. The danger is not above but below;' and finishing thus, 'Below, re spect for law—above, conspiracy.' " The Government has resolved upon killing the Voix du People, as it has already killed thi ee or four Repub lican organs. Baste! The Voix du People has yet three weeks to live. Three weeks ! in time of revolution it is on age! more is not necessary to save the Republic, and to render a coup d'etat impossible." An electoral meeting of democratic Socialist elec tors of Paris was held on Thursday evening. The police did not interfere, and the proceedings passed off in an orderly manner. The demccratic Socialist committee intend to bring forward as their candidate in the Hautes Py renees M. DEvinnE, son of M. DEvunr, condemned by the High Court of Justice of Versailles ; in the Ariege, M. PILHES, brother of one of the persons condemned; in the Haute-Loire, M. F. MaIGNE., brother of another condemned person ; and in the Nievre, M. C. GA➢IBON, brother of the M. GAMBOE who was condemned. M. LOUIS BLANC has addressed tha following let ter to the editor of the Patrie : " Sir,—You have stated that a let'er of mine, which arrived in Paris on Friday, advised a manifestation. This, sir, is completely false, and the audacity of the vilirma•ions which I found on this point in the Napokon and the Patrie would be enough to confound one, if ot,e could be at all astonished at anything on the part of certain persons. . . _ I shall tell you, sir, what I think of an inzeute. I think that you and the others have, at this moment, in terest in exciting one, and that it will serve wonderfully the odious sy:tem of provocation practised in this re gard towards the people.—l have the honour, &c., "Louis BLANC." M. Tumour' has arrived in Paris as Ambassador from Greece to the French Republic. The Prefect of the department of the Haute Vienne has suspended from the exercise of their functions 50 communal schoolmasters out of 175 in that depart ment. The Attorney-General of Bellac and his substitute, together with three justices of the peace, have been dismissed at the recommendation of the Prefect. The steam-frigates Gomer and Asmodee have been ordered to proceed to Belle Isle, to receive on board the insurgents of June remaining there, and to convey them to Bona, in Algeria. The discussion on the Education Bill occupied the Assembly during the whole of the sitting of Thurs day, and was again adjourned. Intelligence has been received from Smyrna, stating that the French fleet had been forced to put back there in consequence of stress of weather. It again set sail for the Piraeus on the 234 January.

LAFOuR put a question to the Ministry on the sub ject of the treatment of M. PROUDHON. M. FERDINAND BARROT, Minister of the In terior, replied that the Government pleaded guilty, but only of indulgence and weakness. A man had been legally condemned for incessant attacks against the institutions of the country, and against every element of society. Proceedings against him were ordered by an almost unanimous vote of the Consti tuent Assembly, end he had been actually condemned by the public sentiment before his legal condemnation. Sentenced to three years' imprisonment, M. PROUDHON should have been removed to a prison situate out of Paris. Instead of that he was allowed to remain in Paris to communicate with his family, friends, and adherents ; and, strange to say, although in the hands of justice, to continue his incendiary pro paganda. M. BARROT had thought proper to put an end to such a scandal, and carry into effect the prison regulations towards M. PROUDHON. The latter was not, however, placed in solitary con finement. He was merely forbidden to communicate with his adherents out of doors, but he could freely circulate in the prison, and visit his companions. He had been what is called consigned during forty-eight hours. He is now in the Conciergerie, closely watched, deprived of all intercourse with the external anarchists, but allowed to receive his wife and family. BOYESSET proposed a vote of censure on the Government for their treatment of M. PROUDHON, which was rejected by a majority cf 434 to 169.

On the 6th Count LAVRADIO moved in the Cham ber of Peers that since the Chamber would not admit his interpellation, it should at least declare its indig nation at the introduction of the QUEEN'S name into the affidavit made by Count THOMAR in the affair of the Morning Post. His motion was negatived by the majority, Count TROMAR having taken care to secure the good behaviour of the spectators by re inforcing the guard at the door, and filling one-half of the gallery with municipal soldiers in plain clothes. The scene which took place in the Chamber of Peers on the sth, a short account of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, beggars description. In the sitting of the previous Friday Count LAVRADIO had addressed a question to the President of the Council (Count TROMAR) respecting the intro duction, by the latter, of the QUEEN'S name into the affidavit made by him in the suit insti tuted against the Morning Post. Count TROMAR replied that he was not prepared at that moment to answer, and, after some conversation it was agreed, with the tacit consent of the Chamber, that the question, or interpellation, as it is called here, should take place on the sth. An entry to that effect as made in the Acts, or Di ar y, an d th e President, on closing the sitting, gave out, as the order of the day for that of the .sth inst., the interpellation of Ceunt LAVRADIO. When th e a pp o i n t e d d a y arr i ve d, the galleries of the Chamber were thronged with spectators. The President declared the sitting open, and before Count LAVRADIO had time to make his interpellation, Viscount LABORINE rose to move that before it could be admitted the Chamber should lor! consulted as to its admissibility. The President of the Chamber said that such was the standing rule of that house. This was denied by the Opposition and affirmed by the Ministerial members, the altercation all the while growing warmer and warmer, and cer tain indications of displeasure from the galleries be coming more and more unmistakeable, until at last Count THOMAR said, " What the Opposition requires I is to be well pounded down, and it shall he by me." All at once there burst forth from the crowded galleries an 'filt4 of yelling, hooting, hissing, and stampin • with cries of " Off, off" (fora, fora), " shtqpi" (pouca vergonha ), and similar expressions cf In a moment all was tumult and confusion ; all the Boers rose from their seats, many persons ran out of the house in terror, expecting violence and bloodshed, while to the cries of " Urdu," addr6ssed by fif. y voices at once to the galleries, the refractory rublic responded by roaring out, "Keep in order yourselves below there." In vain did the President argue, im plore, threaten ; the spectators were not to be paci fied, and it was only after they had bawled to their heart's content that the noise gradually died sway and order was restored. The finale of the strange scene war, that it having been put to the vote whether the interpOlation should be allowed or not, it was decided that it should not by 27 votes against 22. SWITZERLAND. The French Constitutionnel publishes the following letter dated Rome, 11th Feb.:— " The general subject of conversation here is the ah senco of the representatives of Prussia and Russia, at the diplomatic dinner given by the Federal Council. The latter of these powers has, it is true, only a secretary of embassy here, but as to Prussia, she does not appear to admit that the treaties of Vienna can be broken by the fact of an insurrection. There is reason to believe that she has claimed all her rights, and that the auswer given to her has not been satisfactory. The state of affairs does nct appear satisfactory, although the Federal Council feels convinced that all the difficulties will be smoothed down. No collective note has, up to this time, reached the Federal Council; the refractory cantons are returning to ideas of moderation, which leads to a hope that the demands of diplo macy may be ratisfied. The heads of the federal Go vernment declare that they have done all that is called for by international laws, and that they could not go further. Tie orders recently given prove a strong wish to put an eod to the affsir, but in a federal state, where the cantonal and federal powers are liable to contro versies, it is very difficult to foresee anything. The fe deral Government will not interfere in the efl'Air of the fortifications of Geneva ; it fi n d s i t p ru d en t no t t o com plicate questions; when a mischief is irreparable it must be submitted to. The embarrassments of certain canton nal governments are very great; it is those who first sympathised the most with the refugees who at present are the most desirous to get rid of them at any price. When the Federal Government first foresaw the mis chief, it was called inhuman; at present it is called blind. Such is the logic of political passions." GERMAN Y.

Cries of ' Viva la Constituzione de 1812,' and Viva Ruggiero Settimo,' were uttered. Several persons were arrested, and six among them being convicted of being the ringleas'ers in the movement were immedi ately shot. Some detachments of troops have left Naples for that part of Sicily. The agitation has act since been renewed. From Naples itself there is little news of importsnce, but interest is still attached to all that is said and done at Portici, since Rome is at Portici. The departure of his Holiness by land had beer, es I have before informed you, irrevocably fixed for the 14th of February; but every day some incident arises, which, in the usdecided mind of the Pope is considered as an obsts die. One day it is the acquittal of M. Cernuechi, by the French court-martial s.t Rome; another day it is the escape of Dr. Achilli, against whom so many charges had been brought. This escape, however, which it is wished to lay to the charge of the French authorities, is as fortunate for the judges 13 for the accused, since it would avoid irritating discussions. At the present time the obt.t win is of a less serious charact'r, having been caused by a ball which took place at the Theatre Me tsstacius, at Rome, in which some French soldiers acted in such a manner as to remind one of the balls at the Guingettcs, in the Banlieue of Paris, and his Holiness thinks it neces.tsry to remain until the city has reco vered from the effects of the scandale, the emotion caused by its eing, in his opinion, incompatible with the so lemnity which should attend his return. Some effect is expected to result from the visit of Cardinal Dupent, the Archbishop of BourgeF, who has been expected for the last two days, and who has already expressed great sympathy for his Holiness." ROYAL VISIT TO DRURY-LANE THEATRE THIS EVENING. Old Drury is to be honoured this evening by the presence of her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal children. In order to afford the Royal children an opportunity of seeing the pantomime, its performance will commence early in the evening. The first piece will be The Spoiled Child, in which that very clever and promising young artiste, Miss Ternan, will sustain the character of Little Pickle. After the Spoiled Child, will be performed the pantomine of Harlequin and Good Queen Bess, the best that has been produced for year?, and which recalls to our remembrance the palmy days of pantomime, when Bologna and Grimaldi and Barnes were in all their glory. To-night is the last night of its performance. The entertainments will conclude with Charles XII. We hail this royal visit to the classic walls of Old Drury as a happy omen for the cause of the revival of the legitimate drama. Her Majesty is entitled to the gratitude of every admirer of our national dra matic literature for thus early fostering a taste for our glorious English drama in the minds of those who are destined to becom e h ereafter the leaders an d chiefs of our society, and whose example all will be proud to follow.

James, Mr. Henry Crossfield, and Mr. Swift, had an interview with the Commissioners of Railways yeiterday, at their office in the Board of Trade. A deputation from Manchester, consisting of the Rev. John.Bywater, M.A.. Mr. Robert Gardner, Mr. Mal colm Russ,. and Mr. John M. Bennett, had an interview with Sir G. Grey yesterday at the Howe-office. CABINET COUNCIL TIII9 DAT.—A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon at:two o'clock at the Foreign office. It was attended by Lord John Russell, the M'rquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Lord Chancellor, who came from his court at Lincoln's Inn to meet his colleagues; Earl Grey, the Earl of Minto, Viscount Palmerston, the Rid of Carlisle,.Lord Campbell, Sir Francis T.

The ,haDcellor of the Exchequer was unable. , to attend the council through continued indisposition. THE L ATE Y ORK - ROAD FIRE.—From the number of poor wo r ki ng persons that have suffered from the loss of tool s , employmen t, &c., s ine© the dreadful Cu tastrdphilOOk place, a committee of the inhabitants have made the necessary arrangements for an attempt to re lieve their poor brethren, by means of two sermons, which will be pr e ached at York-road Chapel to-morrow. ' MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sale: of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation. The market closed tamely at a decline of /Id. per lb. on last e?k's rates.—Railway Shares were dull, with but little business doing. The weekly balance sheet of the Bank of England, made up to the 9th inst., dors not show an increase (..f business, for the amount of the other securities was rather smaller. The reduction of circulation we attri• bute to the circumstance of the Government deposits being again on the increase, and loans having been re paid, but as the private accounts have been lessened, there is a partial set-off. The precious metals are again slowly receiving an addition, but a week would make a difference should there be much exported for the Russian loan. The comparison with the previous week is es follows: Notes Issued ... 30,1,25,385 Increase ... 20,575 Rest „.. 3,317,601 Increase ... 85,009 Public Deposits ... ... 6,272,030 Increase ... 544,269 Other Deposits ... ... 10,160,268 Decrease 431,433 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,135,238 Decrease 70,718 Government Securities ...

The letters from the manufacturing districts do not notice any prominent change in the state of trade, and there is as much activity as usual at this time of year. The official tables of the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the month and twelve months to the 5.h ultimo, are very favourable again. The value of the ex ports of British and Irish produce last year Has 58,848,0421., and in 1848, 48,946,325/. This exactly bears out the calculation made in round numbers, that the augmentation would be about 10,000,0001. The report of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders is now before us, and very pleasing evidence it affords of its energy, tact, and zeal, The committee points very fairly to the injury that had arisen from the hostile feel ing between the former committee and the authorities of Mexico, and to the efforts so recently made to create a breach between the chairman of the new committee and M. Mora, a proof that individual pique and squab bling predominate over considerations for the real inte rests of the creditors, and that the bondholders must rally vigorously round the new body at the meeting next Monday, to prevent even the mockery of rescinding re solutions and arrangers eats publicly agreed uror. The new committee is now recognised by the Mexican repre sentatives and Lord Palmerston, consequently the de funct body cannot, admitting it were otherwise expedient, be, for any useful purpose, revived. The letter which has been addressed by the new committee to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, announces the new arrarge ments, and states, in continuation:— " You will observe by the 10th resolution that the pre sent agents in Mexico are continued. " In calling your attention to the 3d resolution, which provides for remittances from Mexico on account of the dividends coming to this committee in conjunction with Colonel Facio, I beg to transcribe for your information the following resolutions, adopted by this committee on 28th ult:— " Relolved that the Chairman and Deputy-chair man be appointed to act ae trustees with Colonel Facio, far the receiving and administering tl e funds of the bondholders in the Bank of England. "I have this day addressed his Excellency the—Mini ster of Foreign Affairs in Mexico, requesting him to authorise on the part of his Government, and to make public, this resolution. " I also enclose, for your Government, a copy of a letter which I was directed by the committee to address to Colonel Facia, with his repiy. " I have since seen this gentleman, and he informs me that he bas duly communicated to his Government the change which has taken place in the administration of the affairs connected with the foreign debt of Mexico. I am directed earnestly to call your attention to the subject of the tobacco revenw , accruing to am bond hokerF, who are looking with the utmost anxiety to a commencement of remittances on that account. I have myself assured them at our public meetings ti at every exertion will be made by you to place in our hands the funds from this source with all possible dispatch; a statement also of the probable yearly amount of this branch of revenue would be extremely satisfactory to the bondholders. " I am directed by the committee to state that no time shall be lost in re-organizing the agencies in Mexice, with a view of remunerating them for their services. " In calling your attention to the 2d and 3d resolutions I need scarcely say that all communications relative to the interests of the bondholders must in future bo ad dressed to the committee only. The following, upon the subject cf the Remtteets, is highly creditable to the industry and business aptitude of the committee, as well as confirmatory of the good faith of the Mexican Government; and unless the old committee and Messrs. Schneider aro leagned together to oppose atsy arrangement, however equitab!e, must re sult in a speedy settlement. Colonel Facie , has agreed to advance the amount required to discharge Mcrsre. Schneider's claims, upon condition that the new commit tee shall hold itself responsible to its constituents for the payment cf the legation expenses therein included, and which, no doubt, the Mexican Government will hereafter make good, and that Messrs. Schneider, if required, shall deliver the bonds of the new consolidated funds, not yet emitted, if required to do so. The committee, the day atter they received Colonel Facio's ktter, which was on the 12th instant, addressed through their Secret try, the following letter to Messrs. J. Schneider and Cc.: " Committee of Mexican Bondholders, 61, Moorgate-street, Feb, 13, 1850. " Grntlemen,—l am desired by the Committee of Mexican Bondholders to inclose you a copy of a letter they have received from Colonel Facie, relative to the payment into your hands of the sum of 10.367/. l3s. 7d., which you state in your letter to Mr. Robinson, Chair man of the Committee of Spanish-American Bond holders, and bearing date the '24th of January ult., is re uired to complete the provision for the payment of the f t jurtb part of the dividend on the Mexican debt due on the Ist of January, 1847, and that as soon as this sum shall be placed in your hands, the remaining portions of the said dividend shall be paid. " You will observe by Colonel Facto's letter, that he annexes two conditions relative to the payment of this balance you claim; as regards the first, this committee will take those measures which they may deem most advisable, and they have no doubt of beingiable to ob tain the consent of the bondholders to whatever they may recommend. " As regards the second condition, it is proper to state that this committee deem it expedient for the interests of the bondholders that you should complete the con version of the bonds, and they have stated their opinion to Colonel Facio, but they wish to have a categorical answer from you whether you will comply with it or not. "I am directed by the committee to :state that the bonds required to be given up by Colonel Facio have nothing whatever to do with the 470,610/. which are deposited in the Bank of England, and which I am directed by this committee to request you will in no- Wide give up. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM MORGAN, Secretary. " To Messrs. John Schneider and Co., Broad-street, Mews. " The committee, up to the time of this report going to press, have not been favoured with any communica tion from Messrs. Schneider and Co. " Upon the future prospects of the bondholders, the committee entertain the very strongest hopes that the new Mexican Legislature has before this ratified the convention made between Mr. Robertson and Senor Arraugoiz; but should this not be the case, there is every reason to believe that Congress will have pro ceeded to do so on the receipt of the advices which went out by the last packet. By that convention the bondholders would receive 4,500,0000 dollars from the United States indemnity money, equal to about 81 per cent. on the principal of your bonds. The arrangements, also under the convention, will insure the payment of the modified interest of 31 per cent. per annum, so that you will receive 61 per cent. per annum during the next three years, 3-1- per cent. from 1853 to 1859, and after that you will be legally entitled to the present rate of interest of 5 per cent. per annum. Your committee are fully persuaded that the revenues hypothecated by Mexico for the punctual payment of the dividends will not be perverted [coin their legitimate object, the punctuality with which the customs duties are remitted by every packet proving the good faith of the Mexican Government and nation in maintaining their pre sent engagements. There are various other interesting notices on the to. bacco duties, and the cotton licences, and the agreement between Messrs. Schneider and the Government, all of which deserve the attention of the creditors. The amount of the precious metals exported from London this week to Thursday last was 115,990 ounces of silver, all to France and Belgium, and 1 ) 200 ounces of gold.
