Mexican Financial Agency here is looked for. For-
merly Colonel Facio was it the habit of issuing a
statement of the amount on the arrival of each
packet, but for some months past has neglected to
do so, to the great dissatisfaction of the bondholders,
many of whom reside at a distance, and are conse-
quently debarred from other information than that
afforded by the press.
On the subject of the Venezuelan debt we have re-
ceived the subjoined communication from the com-
mittee :

DEBT.

Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, 8,
Broad-street-buildinqs, June 7, 1852.
The committee of Spanish American bondholders have
received advice' from Mr. Lord dated La Ousyra, the 10th
ult. He has had some further correspondence with the
Venezuelan Finance Minister, which is being translated,
and will appear to-morrow. Meantime the committee have
to sta'e that, instead of the 35,0001., the remittance of which
had been promised for paying the two half-yearly dividends
of last October and April, they have only received by this
packet 6,7001, thereby making up, with the previous re-
mittances, only one of the just-mentioned tau dividends.
The minister adds that the government intends gotn4 on
remitting something by every sub•equent packet. rho
subject ofthe ratification of the agreement for the four
years' arrears of interest had not yet been taken up again
by Congress; since, however, that legislative body were
only to remain together fur another tor.night, the next
packet will bring the news whether this matter has been
again postponed for another
:year. Mr. Lord expresses
himself greatly disappointed with the dilatory progress of
these proceedings.
We have seen letters from Bogota of a late date,
stating that the agents of the Atlantic and Pacific
Junction Company, of Lime-street, had memorialised
the President of New Granada on the subject of the'
Atrato and Copies privilege, requesting is Excel-
lency to pass the amendments of the decree of 1861,
to congress, with his official recommendation that the
business should be dispatched during the present
congress. Later advices dated 4 o'clock, p.m., on the
130th April, just as the post. was leaving, mention
that the matter had been in due course referred to
the senate by the executive, and that the documents
had been accompanied, in accordance with the re-
quest of the memorial, by a special message from the
President, recommending the affair to the immediate
attention of congress, as one of great importance to
the country. Holders of New Granada stock are
interested in this intelligence, as, in their negotia-
tions with the republic, this company have considered
( the present state of the New Granada debt, and in
their amendments to the privilege which they ob-
tained in lti6l, have introduced a close by which
the commission or 3 per cent. upon the canal profits,
es well as a royalty of 6 per cent. upon all minerals
to be worked by the company under their exclusive
privilege, will be set apart towards the payment of
'the dividends. Tho terms of the decree as amended
stand es under :
