MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.

The annexed memorandum, from the Committee
of Mexican Bondholders, affords particulars of much
interest, not only to the creditors, but to all inte-
rested in the affairs of Mexico :
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received
advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 29th of
November. Sir Charles Wyko had on the 21st of Novem •
ber concluded a treaty with the Mexican Government, of
which a precis, as transmitted by him to her Majesty's Go-
vernment, is subjoined. The Mexican Congress, however,
on the following day, at once rejected it by a majority of
15 to 19. With respect to the impending foreign interven•
Lion, nothing is talked of in Mexico but resistance to the
last, in consequence principally of the antipathy of the
Mexicans to the Spaniards. The intention is to dismantle
Vera Cruz entirely, and to remove the armament to the
passes and gorges of the interior, which was actually being
done at great cost. Colonel Pickett, the confidential repre-
sentative of the Southern Confederacy, had been treated
rudely, in consequence of a dispute with an American of
the North.

He claimed diplomatic immunities, which were refused to
him, which may lead to disagreeable consequences if the
Confederate States should prevail.

From the letter of our agents in Vera Cruz, of the Ist
ult., it appears, however, that they have since voted the
abrogation of the decree of the 17th July, enacting the sus-
pension of payments.
Prccis of treaty between Sir Charles Wyke and the Mexican

Government.

vention Bondholders shall be augmented 2 per cent.
Art 6 gives the British consuls and bondholders' agents
at all the t orts in the republic the real bone fide powers o

would have been done by the means proposed by the ulti-
matum.
Art. 7 secures the due and punctual payment to thebond-
holders of their proper share of the duties to be paid on
every cargo arriving, in a manner that has never been be-
fore obtained, thereby saving the immense loss inflicted on

hitherto been made to them.

pointment of interventors with fuller powers, or the payment
of assignments such as those above alluded to, no advan-
tage shall hereafter be accorded to any foreign nation that

, vernment.
