" ROYAL DECREE.

" Taking into consideration the motives submitted
to be by my Minister of Finances, and conformably
'to the advice of my council of Ministers, I have de-
creed that which follows :

" Art. 1. Are applied to the general direction of
the public debt, in order to devote them to the pay-
ment of the intest oh the Three per Cent. internal and
external debt, conformably to the provisions of the
fifty-first article of the royal organic decree of the
11th of June last, firstly, the produce of all the na-
tional property ; secondly, the produce of the Al-
maden, Almadenejos, and other quicksilver mines of
the kingdom, conformably to the present contract,
such as may be hereafter entered into; thirdly, the
excess of all the coffers beyond the seas.
" Art. 2. The directing Junta of the Public Debt
shall draw up a projected contract with the Sari
Fernando Bank, whereby that establishment shall
engage for the period of ten years, to keep at the dis-
posal of the direction of the public debt, on the 30th
ofJune and the 31st of December of each of those
years, the amount of the half-year's interest, con-
formably to the budget approved of by the Cortes.
" Att. 3. The excess, if there be any, shall be
applied by the direction of the debt, by decision
of the directing Junta, and conformably to the sail
51st article of the organic decree of the 11 th of
June, to the redemption of the debt ; the deficit that
may in any year exist shall be punctually reimbursed
by the public Treasury.
Art. 4. The projected . contract with the San
Fernando Bank, which the directing Junta may
draw up, shall be submitted to my approbation ; the
moment that approbation shall have been obtained, a
solemn contract shall be published for the due infor-
mation of the creditors.

" Art. 5. The provisions of the present "decree
shall he submitted to the Cortes when next assembled.
" Given at the Palace, and signed by the Queen's
hand on the 24th of September, 1847."

Another decree is published in the Gazette, fixing
the prices at which tobacco is to be sold from the 15th
of the present month of October _

The- Gaceta of the 27th publishes the following
memorial and decree, respecting the sale of Church.
property :

"10 THE QUEEN.

"Madam,—When the decree of the 26th July,
1844, ordered the suspension of the sales of the pro-
perty belonging to the secular clergy, property be-
longing to hermitages, chapels, brotherhoods, &c., was
included in the decree. Such was not the case when
a law of 1845 determined the devolution' of the pro-
perty of the secular clergy not hitherto sold. Con-
siderable wealth, therefore, exists under the ad-
ministration of the Government offices, although it
is of a small and continually decreasing produce, for
reasons which those who are least acquainted will
easily, and your Majesty's exalted sagacity will
easier understand. There exists, in my department,
a long and elaborate report of the Public-debt Junta-
general entrusted with the aforesaid property, in
which they set forth that it is unproductive, and
that it is impossible to prevent its deterioration,
owing to its being either at a distance from in-
habited places, or to its being profaned by
malefactors who make it their refuge. Morcover,
the said property has to pay dues which overwhelm
the Administration with litigious affairs, of which
it has often the worst part, because it wants the
means of proving the indentity of mortgages. Basing
themselves on such plain considerations, and wishing
to fulfil one of their principal obligations, the

sequent instructions.

Art. 3. The selling of the dues shall take place
but after the Ist January, 1848, and, in the interval,
the owners of the property charged with the said
dues shall be permitted to redeem them, by paying a
sum equal to the capital in Three per Cent. titles. .
" Art. 4. The Government shall issue instructions
and adopt measures for the execution of the present
decree, and report the same the Cortes when they
next meet.

Another decree, of the 2.5:h, authorises the selling
of the property, called proprios, with the exception of
some portions of it, and states the part of the pro-
ceeds that is to be allotted to the redetnption of the
public debt.
