" To the Chairman cf the Board ot Public Credit."
" Custom-house at Mazitlan, Starch 13, 1851.
"The Commander of the Superintendents yesterday
reported to me as follows:
.

The Commissioner, Don Genaros Garnez, and the
Superintendent, Dun Viacento Rcdriguez, the former
stationed on board, and the latter making his rounds in
the long boat, during the stay here of the American
t3i
steamer Fatima, which has anchored in this bay to-day,
remarked the frequent viLits of the boats of the English
corvette of war Cnampioo, without appearing to carry
anything on board; and that when the steamer weighed
anchor, and after having gone about a mile and a half,
stopped her engine, a bast of ten oars lett the man-of
all. war, and going by the narrow entrance overtook her, and
dji. that as it• was now night, and the distance considerable,
signals of lights were shown.
" Which I submit for your information, and that the
board may apply to the President for the re ees9ary at, ps
to be taken to put a stop to abuses which injure the
Engleth creditors more than the nwional rt venue.
" From the oorna.neilt,nt of my appointment at this
port, I knew from NI. Mant,l Merino, that fir a long
while an English ship of war had been stationed here
permanently, one may be sre for n oter prtee than
fig to protect the smuggling ofu specie,o carhriedu onp by the
boats t f those ships, some of which boats with an ade-
quate crew remain even when the ships leave for a time,
either to collect specie or to carry p,suengers or k-tters
on board the merchantmen which cad c ff the port, with-
out entering it, and keep up a communication with the
shore this Way.
"I had (acting on articles 51 and 52 of the Inuits'
tions) thought of visiting those vessels and making them
enter the port; but, not wishing to risk a quarrel with
the English ship of war Champion, at present at anchor
here, I have determined to make the communication to
your honourable board in order that the President may
be applied to, to pass the measures which he may con-
eider proper.

" Joss R. MALLO,
" To the Chairman of the Board of Public Cr. dit."
" Mazatlan, March 24, 1851.
40% "My dear Friend,— .. • . Among the many
abuses prevailing, there is one which it belongs to you
to abolish, and Lois, perhaps, might not be to, difficult
tesa a ta-k. There is a:was an English frigate at this port,
-day. which, so tar as I can make our, has nu other business
-- than to protect the contraband shipments of silver,
either on board the frigate herself, or of steamers and
other vessels. You know that the merchant vessels on
their arrival are prohibited from t.ktng anything on
board, or communicating with anybody until they have
received the visits or the quarantine and custom-house
officers, but this regulation is speedily infringed by the
boats of the frigate, by whose means a communicadon
is established between such vessels and parties on
shore. Sometimes the frigate goes to San Bias ur Guay-
mas, but leaving three t e four boats with fifty or sixty
men behind, without giving notice to anybody, and in
order that the smugglers may be deprived of their as-
sistance. In order not to come to loggerheads with these
powerful adversaries this is tolerated, but the amour
propre of every patriot is grievously wounded when he
sees the honour of Mexico thus treated. I seat y ester-
day communication to the General commanding here,
that be might make it to the Consul, or to the com-
mander of the frigate, pointing out the regula ions in
force, end attributing to their ignorance of them the in-
fringement thereof. When I get an answer I shall re-
port it officially; in the meanwhile you might perhaps,
speak to her Britannic Msj,sty's Minister in Mexico on
the subject."

season was dull.
From Canada we learn that the weather continued
wet in the Lower Province up to the llth instant.
The accounts from Newfoundland state that the
"catch" of seals was strive the average. In two months
the crew of one ship hvl earned 501. each man.
The report of the Amsterdam market on the 28th
states that the value of Dutch Stock was welt supported.
In other descriptions of stuck a good business was done.
Austrii.in were still rising. Dutch Two-mid-a-LIZ per

The commercial adviccs from Bombay state that the
&Toney Market c:-.nrinued tight, although there were
large arrivals of bullion. In imports there was not
much doing, and activity in the mouth of May and
June was not expected. A large business was done
in exports, but at lower rates fur Cotton. Stocks were
accumulating.

At Calcutta, on the 15th of May, Indigo was with-
out alteration. Silk firm. Other exports dull. Imports
were quite neglected, the reasure in the Money Atirket
continuing. Tois pressure was not among the Euro-

The following is part of a correspondence o .ncerning
the smugc,ling of silver on board her Majesty's vesio Is
from the Mexican Pacific ports, thereby defrauding the
revenue:—

" Maritime Custom-house of Gua3 mas,
Ft b. 16, 1851.
"I have learned from the heads of the superintendents
r 33
of this custom-house, that at the Punto del Gustamatal
4% 64 a convoy of silver coming from Hermoselle was em-
barked, and was Eubsequf.ntly seen on board her Bri-
tannic Majesty's frigate Meander.
tit% " Subsequently. as you will see by the papers annexed,
another embarkation took place at the same point, tLe
officers who witnessed it being unable to prevent the
same for the reasons stated by them.
I havo written to the prefect of this department rr-
lative to these embarkations, but I have not Set reoeived
%36 his reply.
" I can assure you that at this port the greatest vigi-
lance is directed to all the points where the contraband
a % exportation of specie is at all likely to take place, and
since the arrival of the Meander off this port, the cus-
tom-house felucca bas been Stationed at a cable'slength
from her, and patrols have been constantly making their
rounds on shore, but the points adapted for contraband
% 27% operations are many, and ut a great distance from each
347 other. However, it we had a small armed vessel at this
47! port to watch the coast from the aa, I think the smug-
' % gling might be prevented. All which I submit for your
information, &o.
