" Gentlemen,—Understanding that your Committee
is about to meet this day in reference to the question
of the amount of Mexican bonds in circulation, we
have no hesitation, for your information and that of
the Bondholders, to state that the amount of the bonds
in question delivered •to us by A. de Iturbide, Esq.,
the Mexican Minister in this country at the time, was
—Of Active Five per Cent. bonds, 5,500,000/. ; De-
ferred ditto, 5,500,0001. These bonds all bear date
the 30th of September, and are signed by the said
Augustine de Iturb;de. We have not yet issued the
above amount of bonds, but the total amount, when
the issue shall be completed, cannot exceed the sum
already stated.—We have the honour to be, Gentle-
men, your obedient servants,
"F. DE LIZARD' and CO.
"Pro MANUEL I. DE LIZARDI."

No. 11.

" 13, Austinfriars, Nov. 24.
" Gentlemen,—The Committee of Spanish Ameri-
can Bondholders have been favoured with your letter
of this date.

" The Committee beg leave to refer to the proceed-
ings which took place'at the time of the conversion of
Mexican bonds. By the first article of the agreement
for the said conversion it was provided,
" ' There shall be created a national consolidated
fund, with interest at the rate of five per cent. per
annum, with the sole and determinate object of con-
verting thereinto the entire foreign debt, if it shall
appear to the present creditors advantageous so to do,
and to fund it in the manner set forth in following
articles ; to which effect Messrs. F. de Lizardi and
Co., of the city of London, are hereby named and
appointed the agents 'of the Republic for the said ope-
ration ; and they shall, in the name of the Mexican
nation, remit the corresponding bonds of the said con-
solidated funds in pounds sterling, payable in London
on the Ist of October, 1866, with interest coupons
in the margin for each half-year until said date.
These bonds shall, moreover, be countersigned by the
Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic in London,
or by his representative.'
"Accordingly the issue of bonds of the national
Consolidated Fund under this agreement was to be
limited to the sole use and determinate object of con-
verting thereinto the entire foreign debt.
"By the inclosed statement it appears to the Com-
mittee that the total amount of bonds required for
this purpose is 9,247,9371. The Committee presume,
therefore, that no - greater issue than this amount
either has been made or will be made. On this point
the Committee request the favour of information from
you previous to their,meeting again to-morrow (Fri-
day) at two o'clock.—l have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) "G. R. ROBINSON, Chairman."
