The latestadvces from Mexico announce

immediate cause of this rupture is sail t.
be the refusal of the Mexican government
to grant the indemnify claimed by Barron
Forbes 4; Co., the details of which are al
ready 'ffici n:ly known, bu. il is reaS1na-
bly, supposed thai the long unse led claim,
of British subjects for money lent to Mexi
co, and the repeated failure Of the NJ xica
authorities to fulfil thei engagements tc
the bondnolders, have influenced NJ. Let
som in the decided course he has adopted
and .ha,, if the British government resolv-
ed on sending a naval squadron, as is ru-
mored, to Vera Cruz. TO compel he settle
ment of Barron IL Co.'S claim. il will ais,
insist at the same lime, on a satisfactory ar
rangement being come to with reference -
the claims of the Mexican bondhol,lers.
The amount OF thcse claims Is upward ii
fiftv one millions Of dollars and the annual
interest is close Oh fur millions, of which.
six half-yearly payments, amounting 10 ~

will become due on the first Of January
next be added, the sum due for arrears oi
interest will amount To close OF Sc, ~, OJU,
to meet which, the sum in the Bank of
England is moi more than $4,000. 1t is
not astonishing, therefore, that the hold
ers of this debt. finding it impossible to
come to any acceptable arrangement with
the Mexican government, and finding from
past experience that no reliance is to be
placed in theil promises. should now claim
the intervention of the British government,
to compel the Mexicans to pay their just
debts; nor can il be regarded as either harsh
or understandable that those charged with
the protection of British interes 5 shoui
consiler themselves called on 10 alpp. very
stringent measures, circumstances having
proved vain, to enforce the claims OF the
bondholders.
In 1857 an arrangement was conclude !,
by which the Mexican government agreed
to set apart portion of the revenues of the
the British debt, and in this were included
the custom duties received a; the dinerert
