MEXICAN BOA DHOLDE.RS.

The following is from the Committee of Mei;ttats
Bondholders :
"The committee have received advices from Mr,
Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 2d, sth, and 10,13',
respectively. The first should have gone by the .3!jj
which was lost ; and the second would have react-
earlier if the steamer between Vera Cruz and New `",d
leans had not, without previous notice, disoontin%,
running since the end of August. The Mexican 33
er
ter of Finance had on the 29th of August called toget",,,
the agents of the foreign bondholders and of the Conve;f
tion creditors, and informed them that-the exigennie6l
tlt
the public service compelled him to order for one 106'nhe
the suspension of the payment of all assignments on t
Custom-house of Vera Cruz. He hoped that this eh
°l'
suspension at one port would relieve the Treasury tr°l3l
its present temporarydifficulties, and expressed the de P,
mortification which he felt to be under the necessity
resorting to such an expedient, even for that Halite
time. In Tampico, General Garza, who commands there/
and who had been ordered to march against Geier:4
Vidaurri, had obtained a loan from the importers pd
$500,000, on account of all duties payable by them, 6,1.14
this without any previously obtained authority from P;
Government. The last packet, if it had carried a g er,f,;
can mail, would therefore only have brought $5,".
from Vera Cruz, being an instalment of the arootiny
taken by General Blanco in Mazatlan last year,
and which will now come by the packet due the
Ist proximo. The agents in Tampico had now $lO,OOO,
and the agents in Mazatlan and Manzanillo together
about as much more in hand, on account of the dividend,
fund. The British Legation in Mexico, on the 2d 01
September, suspended diplomatic relations with the 07
vernment there on account of the Tepic affair. Act"l
hostilities did not, however, appear to be as yet by
nent, and General Almonte was coming to Londe° 0
the
General packet now due in a few days to offer explanati. •
General Vidaurri having taken possession of Saltillo Pot
capital of Coahuila) had declared against the Prre,e
Government ; but had not acted very decidedly Piu
the Mexican Congress having sanctioned the uni°ll.,,n,
Coahuila and New Leon, the demur to which was 0,11713,
sibly the main ground of difference between Lim end of ,
central Government. A conspiracy had on the 15th ;
September been discovered in the convent of San Yhrto
cisco in Mexico. Nearly 200 persons, many of s","„ci
friars, were implicated in it, but the President had ac :-0
with so much promp itude and courage on the occesl°o,
that it was considered to have been completely eltlid
guished. On the 29th of September the term 11°-rity
expire within which the lessees of mortmain proper
were alone privileged to become buyers of it. As it
as
drawing to its close, the religious scruples which 13`^ ids
yet held back the tenants from buying their lease"b.lo
appeared very generally to give way, and considers id
sales of such property were being made which 'le
open a new resource to the Mexican finances. Fur'
Genera
reforms were confidently expected in Mexico from Gene-
Comonfort's Go vern men t."
