Assuming that the New Turkish Loan stands at
3 prem. on the let of July, when the first dividend
becomes due, it will of course be merely at a price
equal to that at which it was issued.

With reference to the statement in the London
journals of the 27th May, made by the Committee
of Spanish Certificate holders, to the effect that
Mr. Powles informed them that the Finance
Minister was unable to bring forward a measure
for the settlement of the debt this session, but
would do so in October, the Corrapondencia de
Espana (reputed to be O'Donnell's paper) states
that " it is authorised to declare that not only has
the Finance Minister no intention whatever of
proposing to the Cortes any measure for the settle-
ment of the question of the English debt, but that
he has so stated his views to every person who has
spoken to him on the subject." A private letter
says : "The deputies and ministers state
definitely that nothing can be done at
present with the Certificate question, and
that it is absolutely necessary to prepare the public
mind for it by the press • or, as one of the ministers
told me, dear una ani;osfers' (create an atmos-
phere). They say Mr. Powles has entirely thrown
the question back by his ill-advised way. of going
about it ; he has now all the press against him
The great mass of the Spanish people believe them-
selves ill-treated in the matter of the Certificates,
and from ignorance consider that the government
acted rightly. Very few even amongst the mem-
bers of the two houses understand the bearings of '
the case. Until this is changed no ministry could I
bring the question forward."
At the tenth ordinary meeting yesterday of the
