BRITISH BoNDHoLDERs IN MEXICO.

BRITISH BONDHOLDERS IN MEXICO.
In the British House OF Commons. on the Th
ullimo, Mr.. Urquhar asked it her Majesly's 60
yernment had taken measures 10 secure the rights
Of British bondholders in Mexico, 10 the event Of
cession Of territory TO the United States OF
America
Lord Palmerston.-Her Majesty's government,
as he believed Unexplained on former occasion,
had not hitherto thought it right 10 Interfere Off
cialy, as between government and government,
with respect TO the claims OF the British bond
holders in numerous foreign States. Therefore
no steps had been taken by The British govern
ment upon the point TO which The honorable gen.
lleman referred. But although perhaps, il was
not exactly an answer 10 The question, it was Of
course evident that if State gave 10 foreign Gre
dtors or TO domestic creditors mortgage upon
its revenues, the mortgage applied equally to the
revenues OF whatever portion of that State which
might remain; and the government OF that state
could not, by alternating part OF its territory in
any degree defeat or lessen the claims OF slran.
gers upon its revenues.

The Treaty. of Peace.

The subject Of the Treaty with Mexico,
which is yet under consideration in the
U. 5. Senate, is subject that excites a
very considerable share Of the public at
tentlon. The newspapers ure filled with
speculations and letter writer's reports as to
Its terms; still we are in the dark in regard
to its stipulations, and shall probably SO re-
main until they are officially announced to
the country. All the newspaper cores
pondents seem pretty generally to agree
that by it the boundary Of the Rio Grande
is conceded to the United State, and the un.
interrupted navigation Of that river; and
that Mexico transfers to US the whole of
New Mexico and nearly oil Of Upper Cali.
fornia; the United States to pay to Mexico
fifteen millions of dollars. The therrtory
ceded by Mexico is estimated to contain
over 65O,oOo square miles, with popula-
ton of less than 1000 inhabitants.
1t is generally believed that the treaty
will be ratified by the Senate. In relation
to this we find the following in the Wash
ington Union of the I'd inst:
"This is the third day on which the Sen.
ate have gone into executive session on the
proposed treaty. 1t is not supposed that
any decisive question has yet been taken
"The city is full Of rumors and specula.
tions on the result. They vary from day
to day, and sometimes from hour to hour.
Sometimes it is said that the treaty will be
ratifed-and then it is confidently said it
will be rejected. 1t is generally believed
that it will not be ratified without a few
Notwithstanding principally toSpan-
ish grants of land in Texas, California, &c.
The general belief and hope are, that the
question will be decided in the course OF
the week."

RETURN OF Col. ToD's FAMILY.-The
Boston Atlas SAYS, ga letter from Rio Ja-
neiro, Of Dec %, states that the family of
the U. s. Minister, Mr.. Tod, nine in num-
ber, were to take passage in the ship Pc
terdoff, of Boston, for New Orleans. The
P. would probably sail about the middle of
January"
A report has been going the rounds of
the federal papers, that Mr. TOP intends
resigning his mission to Brazil, owing 10
his unpopularity with the American citi-
zens residing in that country. In regard
to this silly fabrication theOhioP Patriot says:
''They all give New Orleans paper as
their authority for the story, but we very
much doubt whether any journal Of that city
ever published it. If Col Tod is unpopu'
lar with the American residents at Rio ia
neiro, they have strange way Of showing
it, for never did man receive greater
kindness and attention than they have ex-
hibited towards him. The fact that Col.
Tod's family are shortly to return to the
United States, has probably set the whig
editors to dreaming and the story which
they have given is the result of their labors
during the hours Of slumber. 1t possesses
about as much truth, as their statements
generally contain when a democrat is in
controversy"
