There was some weakness yesterday afternoon in the
rates at which Bills of Exchange were negotiated upon
the principal continental cities, and in a few instances a
slight decline took place.
The gradual extension of the principle of self-govern-
ment to our colonial possessions is working great changes
in the feeling of their respective inhabitants, and is more
than ever likely to bind them to their adopted soil.
There are increased duties and responsibilities, however,
along with the privileges tendered. Earl Grey has com-
menced in the West Indies by granting municipal insti-
tutions to the principal towns, thus, as we are advised in
the accounts received yesterday, George Town in De-
merara, Port of Spain in Trinidad, and New Castries in
Saint Lucia, enjoy corporate rights. The first election
for town councillors, sei they are termed, for
Castries, took place there on the 27th February, when
nine councillors and two auditors were elected.
The Lieutenant-Governor was endeavouring to prevail
on the Legislative Council to pass a permanent revenue
law, or to grant a fixed revenue for the support of the
civil government of the colony. Ile is reported in the
newspapers to have said in the Council, that " by refer-
ence to Parliamentary papers lying on the table, it would
be seen that all the other islands embraced in the wind-
ward command, with the exception of St. Lucia, had
their tariffs of unlimited duration; and the object of the
present measure was to secure the Customs' and tonnage
duties of that island upon the same permanent basis, the
revenue arising from them being applied to the mainte-
nance of a civil list and the administration of justice.
The principle of making the imports ordinance a per-
manent measure was recommended by the Secretary of
State; and the necessity of providing for the mainte-
nance of the civil government by something more
than an annual Bill, must be apparent to
all. This proposal was not altogether agreeable
but it is believed the ordinance would pass for five or
seven years, the latter period being that which was
agreed upon in Demerara. Certainly trade must suffer
by frequent changes in Revenue Bills.
The following is an extract of a letter received by the
Ccimmittee of Spanish American Bondholders, from their
agent. Mr. Lord, dated Laguayra, March 25, 1851 :
" The interval between this and my last, of the 10th
instant, has produced an important movement in favour
of the bondholders, viz., the introduction in Congress of
a project of law for continuing for two years more, with
exclusive application to the payment of the four years'
interest due on the foreign debt to the Ist of April en-
suing, the contribution extraordinary that has been in
operation since the 2d of May, 1849, and will expire on
thet 2d of May next. The law is waiting a third reading
in lthe Lower Chamber, having, after a long discussion,
been unanimously approved on the second reading.
"This contribution produced in the financial year
ending on the 30th of June last the sum of 520.055 dol-
lars. The exclusive application met with some opposi-
tion, and this is part of what Senor Monzon, Chairman
of the Finance Committee, said in the session of the
12th instant.

" Sir, we are not ashamed to act honestly; the pro-
ject has for its object to reestablish our credit lost in
consequence of the non-fulfilment of our promised en-
gagements, and the
.National Congress will not ray any-
thing derogatory to its dignity by telling the foreign
creditors • there is now a gurantee fur the payment of
whit is due to you.'

" Before the result of the second reading had reached
me, I had prepared another representation to Congress
in reference to this extraordinary constitution, and in
support of its exclusive appropriation. On the same day,
and the coincidence is somewhat remarkable, her Ma-
jestY's Chargo d'Affaires was also employed in addressing
tc4the Minister fir Foreign Affairs a strong, energetic re-
monstrance, in reply to a dispatch from that Minister,
Senor Steres, dated the 13th, in regard to the bondhol-
ders' claims. Thus do we at last appear to be gaining
ground; and if public tranquillity be only preserved, I
trust proof will soon be given that the present adminis-
tration is sincere in its desire to satisfy the foreign cre-
ditors of the Republic."

The letters from the textile manufacturing districts
report trade as being dull.
