We have received Constantinople journals to the
14th ult. inclusively. Their contents are not of
importance. The Journal de Constantinople of the
14th states from Bagdad that since the accession of
the new Shah of Persia the Kurds of that country
have been almost in a state of revolt. _ _ _

We learn from Athens, under date of the 18th ult.,
that deputations of the Senate and Chamber of Depu-
ties had presented addresses to his Majesty in reply to
his speech from the throne, and that the King had
returned suitable answers. The proceedings which
subsequently took place in the Chamber were of no
general int....est.

PERUVIAN BONDHOLDERS.
The long-pending disagreements, difficulties, and dis-
cussions, between the holders of Peruvian Bonds and
the Peruvian Government, appear to be now approaching
a termination. At a meeting of bondholders, held on
Thursday at the London Tavern, the Chairman, G. Ro-
binson, Esq., entered into a very full, and, upon the whole,
satisfactory statement, of the result of the negotiations
which have recently taken place between the Committee
of Bondholders and the Peruvian Minister now in this
country, and 'chose conduct in the transaction appeared
to meet with a favourable reception. The terms ob-
tained by the exertions of the committee seemed to be
considered, by the meeting, the best that, under all cir-
cumstances, they could reasonably Expect. From the
Ist April next, one-half the proceeds arising from the
exportation of guano to this country is to be hypo-
thecated to the payment of interest on the Bonds ;
though the whole revenue of the Republic of Peru
still remains responsible for the debt. The divi-
dends payable on the Active Bonds are to be gradually
increased until they arrive at 6 per cent. per annum ;
and those on the Deferred Bonds to be similarly in-
creased until they reach 3 per cent. per annum. The
Dividend Chairman stated that since he had been in the room, he
had received a letter from the Peruvian Minister, to the
;Ail:l%Q. Price' effect that he had made an arrangement with Messrs.
Antony Gibbs and Co. for the reception of guano from
Peru, half the produce of which is to bo paid through
those gentlemen, and appropriated to the fulfilment of
the agreement conditionally made, so that Messrs. Gibbs
and Co. may be considered as in some measure gaaran-
% tees for the good faith of the Peruvian Government.
There is no fear entertained of the money being tsp.
propriated to any other than its legitimate object,
as was the case on a former occasion, in which the house
of Reid, Irving and Co., was concerned. The committee
were fully satisfied of the ability of the Peruvian Go.
vernment to perform the contract now agreed upon ; but
they were of opinion that no good would result from
further delay ; for even if they eventually obtained
better terms, it would only be by means of a procrasti•
nated loss. The feeling of the meeting evidently went
with that of the committee, who have now the prospect
of seeing an agreeable conclusion to their labours, which
have extended over the long period of three and twenty
years. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the recom•
Paid. Price. mendation of the chairman, to agree to the terms pro-
posed, met with unanimous assent ; with, however, the
_
understanding that the committee will procure better
conditions if they can.
It may be satisfactory to annex an extract from the
e' letter addressed by Senor Osma, the Peruvian Minister,
iu
a% to the Chairman of the meeting, and to which allusion
i, has been already made. The letter states, "I have also
°3• the satisfaction of adding, that I have arranged with
i)1 Messrs. Antony Gibbs and Sons to advance, on the let
. October next, a sum which I calculate will be fully suffi-
Ae cient for discharging the first half-yearly dividend which
7'.d I have proposed to the bondholders shall be paid to them
° at that time.
The foregoing arrangement underwent some favour-
t, able modifications, at a conference held at the house of
*" the Peruvian Minister, on the 29th of December, and we
tad
at subjoin a copy of the minutes taken on that occasion:—
" 1. In reference to article 1 of M. Osma's proposal to
5s the Committee of Bondholders, dated the 21st inst., it is
agreed that the interest on tho Active Bonds shall cora•
id mence to run from the Ist April, 1849; that the same
6d shall be 4 per cent. for the first year, and shall increase
)S4 afterwards at the rate of one-half per cent. per Rol:111117p
es until it shall amount to 6 per cent.
Cd. "2. In reference to article 2, it is agreed that the in-
Od terest on the Deferred Bonds shall commence to run
..j. from Ist April, 1852; and that it shall be for the first
3. year 1 per cent., and that it shall increase in every sue-
ad seeding year one quarter per cent. per annum, until it
)u es
shall amount to 3 per cent.
Od "3. Whatever surplus funds may be available fro_sis,
the one half of the proceeds of the guano. as Pr°P:stehue
- shall he applied to the redemption of the Bonds,,
tee, proportion of throe-fourths Active Bonds, and one-fourth
