SPANISH BONDS.

The proposed further interview of members of the Com-
mittee of Cortes Bondholders with the Spanish Minister was
superseded by the presence-of one of the attaches of the em
bassy in.the city this morning, charged with the duty of fur-
nishing the required explanations as to the provisions made
for the payment of the future dividends on those securities ;
by these it appeared, that in the estimate prepared by the
Finance Minister of the expenditure of the ensuing year, he
had included the amount required for the payment in July
next of the half-year's dividend, beginning to accrue in Ja-
nuary ; and had also taken into account the reservation of
per cent. upon the whole amount of the principal sum re-
presented by Cortes Bonds, estimlted at sixteen millions
sterling, as a redemption fupd.
The position in which -the holder of a Cortes Bond for
1001. will be placed by the determination of the Spanish
Government, it is as follows :—two-thirds of the principal
sum, say 661. 13s. 4d. will be treated as active debt bearing
interest at the rate of 5 per Cent. per annum, and will,
therefore produce a half-yearly dividend of 1/. 13s. 4d. of
which the first payment will be made in July, 1835 ; the
arrears of interest, which will amount in January next to
561., will be gradually converted into active debt bearing
interest, in equal portions, to be determined annually by lot,
in twelve years, commencing in January, 1838 ; this aggre-
gate amount of active debt will be subjected to the opera-
tion of a sinking fund, and in proportion as it becomes ex-
tinct, that part of the principal which was placed in the
condition of passive debt, will be integrated with the active
debt.

Among those who claim to have a voice in the accept-
ance or rejection of the new loan in the London market, it
is notorious that there are two classes of persons with per-
fectly distinct interests and widely different claims to atten-
tion ; the one including those who only treat the Cortes
Bonds as the means of gambling speculations, and have
rarely any strong interest in their ultimate validity ; the
other, a more respectable class of persens who have a per-
manent interest in the stability of Spanish credit, having
embarked their capital in these securities as an investment.
There is reason to believe that a large portion of the latter
of these two classes are now convinced that the Spanish
Ministry, however culpable their conduct may have been
in the progress of the measure, have at length arrived nearly,
if not altogether, at the utmost verge of what could be pro-
posed to the public creditor, with any chance of fulfilling
their engagements ; and in this view of the subject it is ex-
pected that the meeting on Monday next will oppose no
further obstacles to the negotiation of the loan.—Morning
Paper.
