The Earl of Lincoln had an interview with Sir Robert
Peel on Thursday.
We have received from Mexico a statement, showing
the amount which has accrued to the bondholders up the 31st of
December last, and which has not yet been remitted, es the periods
for the payment of the mercantile credits had not arrived. The
amount Will be actually remitted to England as it falls clue, during
the first six months of the present year. The Cain total is
475,000 dollars, and we believe that the sum that had accrued
in December alone rather exceeded 10:%,000 dollars. This is
from Vera Cruz alone, and will be Increased by the
Tampico duties, as well as by the current duties for 1846, which will
partly fall due during the first aid months. The new tariff came
into operation last month. These facts are from a source which may
be perfectly relied on. The following is extracted from a mercantile
letter, brought by the packet from Mexico :—" General Parades'
Government is going on well, and his measures hitherto
have given universal satisfaction. The American Envoy
leaves this to. morrow for Jalapa, where he intends
to await the orders of his Government. The Mexican
Government had consented to receive a Minister all hoc Sir the set-
tlement of the Telan question. He came as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, and of course was not received. Had he earns as agreed, the
question of Texas would have been arranged before the downfall of
General Herrera's Government. The people of tne United Mates in
this instance have overshot their mark. There is a great deal of
bluster now about a war with Texas, but nothing, 1 believe, is
seriously intended, and I am of opinion that all will be amicably ar•
ranged between the two countries. '

Noble Lords to have this measure postponed. Nedeletli
would be very desirable to have the assistance of e

bringing on his amendments. 0 Or
Earl St. GERMANS said he was quite williog te
that course. • He would first proceed to state the sun
proposed by her Majesty's Government seriatim, sobs
they could be discussed afterwards. One amendment beet $
to propose was one suggested by a Noble Friend °' oeteds.
Member of the other House, Lord Clements, effeatio

The first of those related that no proclamationissteen,
issued, unless the requirement to the Lord lit' pewee
were signed by three acting justices of t %old
in the county. Ile ( Earl St. Germans) thought it r viand
desirable that the whole responsibility of these proelasseet,ed
should rest on the Executive Government. He 'lf bell,
that the Executive Government should not screen itseid rot
the authority of any one, and that magistrates shoul,ierrale)jr
needlessly required to place themselves in a state of e,°,c; 0014,
personal danger. Some provision might be inserted itios, Po
the delay occasioned in the issuing of these proclarna elteo
he did not conceive that any .amendment to a greste,otoor
was necessary. He did not propose to adopt the autos. 10
of the Noble and Learned Lord in this too,
to introduce any other in its room. The nbieebt &

measure provi led that a petty sessions should bean aro

He would now coma to the amendments of the toot 'bef

that so far as cases of misdemeanor were conce,lolo the
might be * fOctive enough, but the case of triuradeioloo
wholly untouched by them. He did not wish te,_ Lord

had proposed this measure should have brought it j tot

Noble Lord to dispense with the punishment of "3%0000

were considered as necessary, the question was, fro°,ol

but it should he left to the Legislature to detreolip ask
