The New York Morning Herald has received
he following letter from a friend dated

Harana l4th Nay. 1850.
DEAR SrR,-I conceive it to be interesting to
anv snip owners, TO communicate to them
mo- the medium ofyour valued paper, an impor-
mt regulation which has been adopted OF late by
mrCOnsulado, and which effects them. The case
; that several vessels have arrived from buneOS
Ayres. under charter party, that the freight
should be paid in hard silver dollars, and more
IRE expected under similar circumstances, there
lving 90 doubt that such an agreement hus been
.learly understood BY the parties at b. .Ayres.-
The Consignees here have consequently applied
for aymeut, according to these terms, but been
ttused, Y having brought their complaint before
the COnsulado, our wiseacres OF that Court have
istded that a hard dollar is not a hard dollar,
INT only a seventeenth part Ofan ounce or dub
bon, and that consequently payment III gold at
he rate Of seventeen dollars per doubloon is le-
al tender in all such cases, unless the contract
contains the words, in addition {. : to the exclusion
Itall gold coin and small silver money"
