. The committee of Spanish American bondholders
have received advices from Mr. Mocatta, dated 19th
ult. He was at La Guayra on his way, via Puerto
Cabello, to Valencia, where the Convention is' sit- i
ling. The Budget of the Minister of Finance was s
printed. It states that the produce of the annual s
revenue was estimated at 3,900,000 dols., of which
it is proposed to apportion 500,000 dols. to the in-
terest
of the foreign debt, and to the domestic debt
275,000 ; the general expenses of the State being
calculated at 3,065,000. The Treasury debt for ,
contracts, &c., to be converted into the consolidated
debt. About 500,000 dols. is destined to pay off
diplomatic claims. He proposes to delay all pay-
raents until July next year, so as to pay off the en-
gagements contracted by the revolution. Mr.
Mocatta states that he himself estimates the annual
revenue at an amount nearer to 4,500,000 dols.
The Venezuelan dollar is to be calculated at 61
dols, to the £1 sterling. -
