MEXICAN FINANCE.

The following official communication has been received by
the Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders :--

"DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE OF THE MEXICAN REPUBLIC.
" Mexico, April 21.
" On this day I communicate to Senor Santa Maria, Minis-
ter of the Republic to his Britannic Majesty what follows :
" Excellent senor—lt being necessary to proceed to the
capitalization of the half dividens of the loans contracted in
England, left in arrear between the Ist of July, 1831, and the
Ist of the current year, 1836, and to issue the supplementary
bonds, in conformity with the stipulations in the decree of
the 2d of October, 1830, and to fulfil the agreement entered
into with the Committee of Bondholders, of which Don
M. de Gorostiza communicated to this Government on the
20th of September, and 20th of October, 1831, and also
on the 24th of March, 1832, as well as the communication of
this Government on the 20th and 21st of January, and 9th of
June, of the said year, 1832, the President ad interim,
taking into consideration your intelligence, patriotism, and
knowledge of circumstances, has selected you to carry into
execution the aforesaid operation, in conjunction with the
house of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., in conformity
with the decree referred to above. Accordiug to the sti-
pulations in the afore-mentioned decree, the respective bonds
already issued for the capitalization of the dividends which
1831, ar s
well as those nowO about to be issued, must
st 4, from the Ist of ctober, 1827, to te Ist
of 7e left in arrea
April,
carry interest.
For the payment of the above interest, and the dividends
of the original debt, in a permanent and stable mariner, at the
regulated periods, and for the discharge of the half dividends
left unpaid from the year 1832 to the present year, with that
punctuality which the honour and good faith of the republic
require, for the ot,.nsolidation and discharge of its foreign
debt, the Supreme GovCrnment is occupying itself to appropri-
ate the means most adap:ed for this object, and has already
submitted to the Legislative Power those measures which are,
within its attributes, best nalculated to fulfil this interesting
engagement. If, until this tine, from unforeseen but notori-
ous causes, the Government has beenprevented from realising
its wishes and the engagements iYith its bondholders, for the
punctual payment of the interest of " the debt, to-day the Elate
prospects of internal peace and mood order enable it to
put into activity all the means of prosperity with which this
country abounds, and which its former vascillating situation
rendered unavailable.. With this design the President ad
interim hones that the zeal of your Excelleocy for the credit
and reputation of the republic will tranquillise' all those who
may be interested in these transactions, under :he assurance
Atisfactory
!!‘t, the actual Administration will not omit any means
within :h& reach to regulate them in the most s.
manner.
