the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de-
spatch from her Majesty's Consul at Mexico, inclosing
translation of a Mexican decree (a copy of which is sub-

mercial associations of mixed nationality, with a view to
their being placed under the protection of one Government.
(Translation.) (Copy.)
Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
His Serene Highness the General President has been
pleased to send me the following decree.
ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA, &c.
Art. 1. In those Commercial Association contracts in
which all the partners are foreigners, if three-fourths of
them are of the same nation, the association will bear the
character of that nationality.
If the partners be of two nations, and equally divided as
to persons, the nationality of the company will be that of
the persons who represent the greatest amount of capital ;
and should this be variable amongst partners of different
nations, they must chose amongst themselves the nationality
which they may deem most convenient, within three
months after the publication of this decree for already ex-
isting companies, and within one month for those which
may be formed in future.
This notice must be given in to the Ministry for Foreign
Affairs, that the necessary inscription be made in the re-
gistry relating to foreigners.

AA. 2. The infraction of this law will be punished by a
fine of from one thousand to ten thousand dollars, to be
destined to the support of some beneficial establishment ;
and the Association will not be able to claim the protec-
tion of any foreign nationality.
Wherefore I command that this be printed, made pub-
lic, circulated, and that due fulfilment be given to it.
Done in the National Palace, at Mexico, on the 16th
February, 1854.
(Signed) ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
To the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

And I communicate it to you, &c.
(Signed) BOUILLA, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
