From Colonel Facio, in consequence of the remarks
we made yesterday, we have nceived the following
remonstrance :
Colonel Facto has perused with deep regret an article in
the Express of this day, in which hi. name is most im-
properly used on Mexican financial Eastern in the Money
Market report. Colonel Facto has only to say, that from his
government up to this hour, 3 o'clock, lie is without any
despatch ; that yesterday, by the steamer from New York
(which by mare chance outran that from the West ladles),
be received a private letter from an old friend, who hap-
raid to ragtime a copy of the decree, which Colonel Facio
Instantly handed to the bondholders' committee. Colonel
ramie trusts the editor of the Express will insert this in
Morrow's pipar.-32, Great Winchester-wrest, London,
Du. 13,1860.
It appears then that Colonel Facio communicated
to the committee a copy of the decree, and he deserves
great credit for taking this step; but sa it did not lead
to any official announcement by the committee, we
kips. that the experience of yesterday may induce
him in future to choose some more certain mode of
essmunicating with the bondholders, both by sending
to the Stock Exchange Committee and to the new,-
papers without exception. In the disappointments
which have taken place no one has called in doubter
doubted the integrity of Colonel Facio, but it is con-
sidered that through his strong adherence to official
form and etiquette, the bondholder, at large have
been uninformed of the proceedings of the Mexican
government. On the last occasion Colonel Facio
waited for an application from the committee, who
bed no despatches, and it was not until after
semi remonstrance on the part of the press that
the summates applied to him for information, and
published it. Colonel Facio has impoeed upon him
an arduous tank : it depends greatly upon him
whether the Mexican government shall, in this
esentry, pin credit for its good intentions, and be
upheld in the new financial career upon which it has
uttered.
It is a great comfort to find that Colonel Facio is
mot *blame ; and a groat comfort to suppose that
de Mexican committee is not to blame for not duly
reseiving advioest bat it does seem strange that the
Mexican Minister of Finance, having three weeks
before him, could not find time to write by the way of
New York to Colonel Facio, nor Mr. Falconnet to
the Mexican committee, annoancing the passing of a
ussure, in which interest. to the extent of ten minima
sterling are concerned, althouh the private friends
ef CoL Patio and others cginsend letters and full

particular/.
The announcement of the committee is behind
time, and gives little bearirg upon the present
state of the case; but we are nappy to learn
that the energetic chairman of the committee,
die Baron de Goldamid, is determined, so far
es he is concerted, to do justice to the interests
f the bondholders. rhs bondholders are already
indebted to him foe interposing his personal security
to obtain the conversion of the dollars in the Bank at
the resent favourable prices, and to-day he has again
come forwarl with Mr. Cassell, the deputy chairman,
and others, to sign an indemnity bond to the Bank for
300,0001., so as to allow the funds there to be brought
to a division when the proper moment comes. He
Yee likewise directed a meeting of bondholders to he
mad kw Monday week, to consider whether the
Meziesa offer shall be approved, and a report is in
which will be circulated before the meeting.
ratgrrneeToes have also been given to bring the claims
on Messrs. Schneider to a close, so that the books
may be forthcoming for accelerating the conversion.
At the present moment, the chief reliance of the bond-
holders is placed in the integrity and ability of their
, chairman, and we hupe the bondholders will be on the
I alert to support him.
Mr. Faloonnet seems to have employed himself use-
fully. He is understood to have cotcurred in the
decree as an immediate measure, but has not been un-
mindful of the future interests of the banaholders.
There is strong reason to believe he will be suceessful
in obtaining a future contingent increase of the divi-
dend, and likewise compensation in the shape of
national lands or other resources for the immediate
sacrifices made by the bondholders. lie has settled
the affair of the cotton licenses by agreeing to give a
title for 50,000 dollars, a measure much more advan-
tageous than litigation.
