The Commerce of Wednesday contains the following article, " com-
municated" to that journal by the Bondholders' Committee, no doubt :-
" The Committee of the Spanish bondholders had yeterday an inter-
view with the Commissioners of the Spanish Government for the loan
of 500,00 0,000 reals, for the purpose of ascertaining what satisfaction
and guarantee they intended offering the old creditors of Spain. The
Commissioners were of ouinion that a categorical answer could not be
given to that question, but they protested with the greatest energy that
no project of loan which should not secure the interests of the present
creditors was in contemplation. They added, at the same time, that
Spain would spare no sacrifice to meet her engagements. The Commit.
tee of the bondholders took a note of that declaration, and will see that
the satisfaction to be offered the creditors be conformable with the pro-
mises of the Commissioners."
The Cuirassier brig, Captain Count Gourdon,arrived at Brest on the
