MEXICAN Losis AFFAIRS.—Senor Murphy, the late
Mexican envoy, under whom the loan conversion was
operated, is understood to have declined the unwelcome task,
imposed upon him by his government, of publishing the
dispatch addressed to him, signifying that he had exceeded
his instructions, and that the conversion was annulled. In
these circumstances Senor B. Gomez Farina, deputed here

on a special mission from Mexico, had no resource but to
publish himself, for the information of the bondholders, the
formal act by which his government repudiated thrt opera-
tion, which is now in the most formal manner, below, de-
clared to be null and of non-effect. Messrs. Schneider, the
financial agents, who, throughout the whole of the business,
must certainly have been in almost daily communication
with Senor Murphy, and whose dealings and instructions in
the matter of the conversion were purely with him, therefore
their published ignorance of any annullation of the contract
the more remarkable, will surely not attempt now to proceed
further in the operation, or to assert want of information on
the facts of theD=ie, to the bondholders applying to them
daily for the restoration of their old bonds against the re-
turn of those converted. The documents now offered to the
public do not include the particulars of the official instruc-
tions under which Senor Murphy should have acted in
respect of the re-arrangement of the Mexican debt, but
did not. He will of course publish these, for his own justi-
fication, if not for that of the agents and the Spanish Ameri-
can committee.
