" No. 3, Austinfriars, Nov. 25, 1842.
" Sir,—We hasten to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of yesterday's date.
" Having already stated to the Committee the total
amount of bonds placed in our hands by the Minister
of the Mexican Government, we have only to add
thereto that as soon as the conversion shall be com-
pleted, we shall duly account for the same to the
Mexican Government.
" With regard to the statement concerning the
amount of the Five and Six per Cent. Loans, which
accompanied your letter, we beg to observe that it is
at least deficient in one particular, since nothing is
said about our commission on this transaction ; but as
that, however, is a matter between us and the Mexican
Government, it cannot form any subject of discussion
between the Committee and ourselves. _ _ _

"In the meantime, we beg to state, for the infor-
mation of the Committee, that the following are the
highest numbers of each series which can be issued :
No. 1 to 10,300 of 1001. each .. X 1,030,000
Ito 4,800 of 1501. each.. 720,000 1,
1 to 4,800 of 250/. each... 1,200,000
1 to 4,900 of 5001. each... 2,450,000

£5,400,000

" And that the amount at present in circulation is
5,254,5001. of Active Stock. We have the honour
to be, &c.,
(Signed) "F. DE LIZARDI and CO.,
Per proc. MANUEL I. DE LIZARDL"
If this explanation be not foubd completely satis-
factory, it has, at any rate, the effect of removing the
mystery as to the amount of bonds in circulation, and
the authorised numbers of each series, which has of
late so much alarmed the holders.
Mexican stock was violently agitated throughout
the hours of business. The market appears to have
been entirely subject to the various rumours current
respecting the alleged over issue of bonds. The first
quotation for the Five per Cents. was 311 to 311, and
then followed a fall to 291, which price ruled till fur-
ther sales were made, and 28q was
.tlie quotation.
However, as soon as it was known that the correspon-
dence between Messrs. Lizardi and the Spanish Ame-
rican Committee was concluded, and the answer of
the agents was communicated on the Stock Exchange,
an advance to 301 took place. The closing value was
301 to 31. The Deferred Stock stood at 84 to 81 all
day. At the first opening of business there was a
perfect panic among the dealers, they were fearful of
passing the bonds to each other, so that the opera-
tions which afterwards were conducted were purely
speculative. Confidence is not yet absolutely revived,
though the higher prices are quoted. The other
Stocks in this posture of affairs scarcely attracted any
attention.—Times.
