MEXICAN BONDHOLDER&

The following is the translation of the document
alluded to in the communication from the Com-
mittee of Mexican Bondholders published under
thii 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 Ayutla, 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 the 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 iu hard eagle dollars of the legal stamp, weight, and
assay, and after having been duly accepted, shall be deli-
vered 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
bin.; 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. Those 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
lith inns 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 Mexic in agency, who will advice the amount
to the finance deportment, 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 Oro 3 months
will pay the amount so received in another port named by
it, giving order to that effect to the collector, that he may
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 charg3
it in account current to the bondholders, and deduct the
amount on the payment of the dividend, as well as any
other expense incurred by the committee in the mauage-
ment of their affairp.

"Art. 7. When the account which is kept proves that a
sum equal to six months' dividend has been received in
London from the Mexican Government, the financial
agency will Ore public notice that the money is about to
b. 3 paid, and will proceed to effect it, cutting off the re-
spective coupons.
" Art. 8. The Mexican Government defrays the expense
of the dividend in London.

" Art. 9. The agents of the bondholders in the ports will
give to the respective collectors a receipt in triplicate for
erery amount paid there, in money or bills. The collec-
tor will retain ens copy of the document, and remit another
to the Junta de Credit() Publico, who have the manage-
ment of the account of the debt contracted in London, and
the third to the General Treasury.
" Art 10. The funds which, on the publication of this
decree, are held by the collectors of the maritime custom--
houses' in cash, belonging to the English debt, shall b 3 de-
livered to the agents; and those which are still to be r -
covered will be given over in bills payable on the expira-
' tion of the credits, as set forth in Art. 1.
"Art. 11. The sa'aries of the Mexican agency will be
paid by the custom-house of Vera Cruz out of the Govern-
ment part of the duties, remitting every month one thou-
sand two hunilrad and fifty dollars. In case of any remit-
tance being deferred, the agency will take the amount
from the dividend fund, on the understanding that it will
be repaid by the following packet.
"I therefore order that this be.printed, published, cir•
culated, and carried duly into effect. Given in the palace
of the National Government in Mexico, 23d January, 1857.
(Signed)
," IGNACIO COMONFORT.
