Committee of Spanish American Bondholders,
8, Broad-strict Buildings, April 25, Roil.
The following is an extract of a letter received this morn-
ing by the committee of Spanish American bondholders
from their agent, Mr. Lord, dated
" La Guarra, March 25, 1851.
" The interval between this and my last of the 10th
instant has produced an important movement in favourofthe
bondholders, vie., the introduction in Congress of a project
of law for continuing for two years more, with exclusive
application to payment of the hut years interest due on
the foreign debt to the Ist of April ensuing, the contribution
extraordinary that has been in operation since the 2nd of
May, 1819, and will expire on the 2nd of May next. The
law is waiting a third reading in the Lower Chandwr,
having, after a long discussion, lain unanimously approved
on the second reading.
"'this contribution produced in the financial year ending
the 30th June last the sum of 520,035 dollars. 'the
exclusive application met with some opposition, and this is
part of what Senor Moontom, chairman of the finance com-
mittee, said in the session of the 12th instant.
Sir,—We are not ashannool to act honestly; the project
has for its object to re-establish our credit, lust in conse-
quence of the non-fulfilment of our promised engagements,
and the national congress will not Say anything deroptory
to its dignity by telling the foreign creditors; there is now
a guarantee for the payment of what is due to you.
" Before the result of the second reading hadl reached me,
I had prepared another representation to congress, in re-
ference to this extraordinary contribution, and in support
of its c•clusive appropriation. On tlw same day—and the
coincidence is somewhat remarkable-11er Majesty's Clio*
d'Affaires, was also employed in addressing to the Ministeri
for Foreign Affairs a sting and energetic remoo•strance, in
reply to a despatch 'spoon that minister, Senhor Hen", dated
the 13th, in regard to the bondholders' claims. Thus do
we appear to he gaining ground, and if public tranquillity
be only preserved, I trust proof will soon be given that the
present administration is sine, re its its desire to satisfy' the
foreign creditors of the Republic."

Amectit, was held to-day of the Commercia
Huck Company, for the purpose of taking into con•
sideration the bill now pending before parliament
for the purchase and enlargement of the East
Country Dock. and other objects connected there-
with. A similar meeting of the East Country Bock
proprietors is advertised to be held to-morrow.
The business transacted in foreign exchanges to-
day was not considerable, and ppets remained almost
entirely without alteration. Short I'uris was at first
done at 25.2 ?, hut a leading house drawing largely
at 25.5, it looked up .a little ; however, at the close of
business, it was again in demand, and done lower.
Bills on Hamburg were in goal demand at 13.8, but
there was not much paper offered. Frankfurt found
takers at 119, but Amsterdam was heavy at 11.17.
The quotation for palm. on Austria wits again
higher, and the mt•reiumts are absolutely afraid of
touching it.

The discount on gold yesterday at Paris was 3
per milk, (new tariff rates) which, at the English
Mint rice of 3/. 17s. Wd. per ounce for standard
gold, gives an exchange of 25.10; and the exchange
ut Paris on London ut short being 2105, it follows
that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.
By last adcices the price of gold at Hamburg is
426 per mark, w hich, at the English Mint price
of 3/. 17s. 10 per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13.5; ; and the exchange at Ham-
burg on London at short being 13.51, it follows that
gold is 0.117 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in
London.
