T 0 a very large class of individuals, who have ad-
/84ned money unon the faith of foreign Governments,
whether nuon.trchiLl or otherv.i3e, will be afforded much
Eolace from the legal opinions ohZained from her jestMa-
Advocate, Sir John Dodson, and the Admiralty
Advocate, Dr. Phillimore, who declare, in terms
notto be disputed, that the proposition of
tendering nugatory the Mexican conversion scheme,
:is,. Contrary to the law of nations. The ere-
Itora f
0 other foreign states besides Mexico, may
new ask our Foreign Minister to claim their rights from
delinquent Governments. The case and the opinion is
thtis couched :
"ItIION OC TILE QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, AND DR. R. PHIL-
LIMORE.
irour opinion is requested, whether the Mexican Go-
vernment, after the final ratification of the conversion of
e Mexican Debt, as shown by Documents No. 12 and
1,,n is justified in withdrawing that ratification for the
purpose announced in Document No. 14.
tractt appears from the papers laid before us that a con-
concludedof the inost important character has been solemnly
bar between an independent state, on the one
ffohr-einecnodunery,ain public creditors, the subjects of a
on the other. We find, moreover, that
qualified ratification
has since received the full and un-
it,s„
tecl ratification of the state which set on foot and
",ifyiriced the negotiation.
teith e site of opinion that by the law of nations
of
the
of the contracting parties, without the consent
of nT,ller, can recede from this engagement. We are
r1-1-" Do that no subsequent change in the internal
oticy of the state which has so entered into such con-
bract, or in the opinion of her rulers, can entitle her to
,:eak the faith thus solemnly pledged; and that to do
.13; Would be a flagrant violation of the most sacred and
at established principles of international lair.
(Signed) " JOHN DODSON.

2t, will be necessary to call attention more particularly
this important document as occasions may serve.
nkThe Speech of Louis Philippe on the assembling of the
at Ch Se
is considered satisfactory in most of its points;
m all events, it is hoped that the desire expressed to
aintain peace, will be sacredly observed. The only
that
now to be untied in political matters appears to be
mat relative to the annexation of Cracow. Our Govern-
etit, as well as that of France, has done, perhaps, all
"Lill do, viz., remonstrated against the whole affair.
t_ We have no later arrivals to-day from any quarter,
be,lo! there is nothing expected from America until the
'Llt,Llfax steamer, due about Thursday.
-1:1143 English Funds have been quiet again today, and
44 the floating debt there is a sudden "drop" of 3s. to
tiB,!eti consequence of some of the holders having
prig advantage of the improvement to sell out.

the directors of new railway schemes con-

pi instead of cash in the hands ef the
ZFountant-General, the market must necessarily

reinstances however, a preference may be given
money deposits, in order to avoid a loss upon the
