something like their former rates, which they could
at once do by largely increasing the sinking fund,
any attempt to increase the debt of Peru in the
English market would be utterly hopeless. The
Stock Exchange have decidedly set their faces against
the principle of foreign Governments attempting to
convert their home debts into bonds negotiable in
this market ; and in this they are wise, for the amount
that would be thus introduced, and the repudiation
that would immediately ensue, when the aggregate of
debt circulated here made it worth their while to be
dishonest, would cause wholesale ruin on the unfor-
tunate holders.

We place no reliance whatever in the professions of
any South American tlovernment, with the exception
of that of Brazil. We look upon these Uovernmenta as
having proved themselves to be utterly wanting in
good faith and common honesty. They are degene-
rate Spaniards, both in character and finance, and
we all know how much trust is to be placed in Spa-
nish honour and good faith.
With regard to Peru it is a matter of negotiation
depending on the amount of sinking fund ; for there
can be no doubt that the sales of guano might be
increased fourfold, and such a sum annually appro-
priated to the purchase of the debt as would extin-
guish it in five years.
All foreign bonds have been lower this week, espe-
cially Russian. The markets are, however, to-day
rather firmer.
