MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.

The following is the translation of the document
alluled to in the communication from the Com-
mittee of Mexican Bondholders published under
this head to-day:—

Translated copy of the Supreme Mexican Decree of 23d
January, 1857, regulating the mode of carrying out ar-
ticle 3 of the decree of 14th Oct., 1850.)
"I, Ignacio Comonfort, President Substitute of the
Mexican Republic, to the inhabitants thereof make
known :

" That in virtue of the powers conceded to me by the
plan proclaimed in Ayutls, and reformed in Acapulco, I
have seen fit to decree as follows.—
" Art. 1. From the publication of this decree in every
port, the collectors of the maritime and frontier custom-
house shall draw against tlfe importers, and in favour of
the agents of the bondholders of the debt contracted in
London for the portion of duties which section 3 of article
2, of the law of 14th Oct., 1850, assigns for payment of the
interests of the said debt. These bills shall be made pay-
able in hard eagle dollars of the legal stamp, weight, and
asay, and after having been duly accepted, shall be deli-
vere.i to the agent named by the bondholders themselves,
or through the medium of a commissioner in the Republic.
The same agent will at once receive such parts of all duties
payable in cash as are assigned to the payment of divi-
dends.

" Art. 2. Immediately on delivery of the money and the
bills the responsibility of the Government ceases, Unless
the bills be presented protested in due time and form.
" Art 3. The agents will remit to the Bank of England,
to the joint consignment of the financial agency of the
Republic and of the committee of bondholders, the amount
collected by them, which shall be realised and credited in
the same manner as hitherto.

" Art. 4. The maritime custom-houses will only pay the
cost of the boxes, wrappers, and shipping charges of the
money until placed on board of the vessel conveying the
remittances direct. These direct remittances shall be made
by vessels of war, packets, or in their default by English
merchant ships ; and on remittances made by way of the
lath tuns they (the custom-houses) will also defray the freight
to Panama, or port of discharge in the Pacific. The usual
freight insurance and discharge in England will be paid in
London by the Mexican agency, who will advise the amount
to the finance department, in order that it may be replaced
by the following packet.
" Art. 5. In the ports where there are no agents, or
where there is no facility for the remission of specie, Go-
vernment will receive the amount which ought to be sepa-
rated for account of the bondholders, and every three months
will

hand it over and cover the expenses as though it proceeded
from his own custom-house. .

" Art. 6. The commission of the port agents shall be for
account of the bondholders exclusively; but as a measure
of convenience the former shall be empowered to deduct
the said commission at the time of embarking the amounts
collected, and the Mexican agency in London will charge,
it in account current to the bondholders, and deduct the
amount on the payment of the dividend,' as well as any

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Jane Hallett, of Whitty Head,
near Netberbury, Dorset, suffered for many years from
a bad leg. From the knee to the ancle it had several
wounds, so that she was unable to stand or move about
the house. She tried a variety of means and applica-
tions, but without obtaining a cure. By the blessing of
God and using only three pots of Poor Man's Friend,
and taking three boxes of pills, she was perfectly cured.
Dr. Roberts's Poor Man's Friend, for wounds and erup-
tions of every description, is sold in pots, is. lid. and
2s. 9d. each. His Pilules Antiscrophulaa, for all im-
purities of the blood, is sold in boxes, ls. lid., 2s. 9d.,
4s. 6d., lls., and 225. each, by all medicine vendors
throughout the ITnited I(inzdom and Caln;..
