This last Company, thus far, in the opinion of the
public, seems 70 have the preference.
There are two other Companies Of Mr.. Stephens

privilege. As Mr.. s.. however, did not apply till ne
knov it too late must leave him out. The prin-
cple then of these two the Mixed Company, have
published and believe will publish their PROPOSE

gfess. The Mixed Company il that represented by
Colonel Major sloo, Of New Orleans, who is under

]. appears that bcsides the proposals already pub
sLod, the Mexican Companies presented secret ones,
destined only for the eyes fthe Government We do
not know what these may relate TO- bu. the Trait
dUnion suppcses they must relate to the payment OF
the indemnity which the Company who hold the Gsray
grant may claim But this cannot be because Mexico
bias already assumed the position that the Gsray grant
Illegal in consequence the rejection OF the same
ly Congress, and that there can be cause for re-
clsmaon the part of those interested in that grant.
Therefore Mexico, by admitting any such propositions,
would virtually wcdge their right to claim Con.
scquonty it may be fairly presumed that these secret
proposals. have for their object the lessening the pre-
ten,ions Of the Mexican Companies, SHOULD they be
greater than the Mixed Companies. Should this sup
position be it wond not be fair but such things
may be- as proved by experience. have not heard
that the Company represented by Mr.. 5oo presented
any secret proposals. but you may be assured that Nil
that can be done to obtain for him this privilege gill be
done IA he has men interested with him who know
how 10 work in such matters in Mexico Anong these
may mention Mr. Olare, an accredited broker, Mr.
Pessdo and Payno the latter Of whom must be tolera
bly, well known TO you.
