Viii there BIO with Spans That is the question:
and afraid devote this letter to its elucida-
tion You that 1854 the Spanish Minister to
this country entered into treaty with Santa Anna called
the Spanish Convention wherein Mexico stipulated pay
Spanish subjects the Of S. so2 662 with ntsrs at
tho rate 0, per cent per until paid and the
creation of annual sinking fund Of i've per cent to
cure the extinction OF the debt. 1t known
at the time that the amount unfair and fraudulent by
at least two millions-so much that the business
taken out of the hands Of the proper officers in the De-
partment Of Foreign Affairs and entrusted others who
had scrupes upon agreeing tohat
The motives that induced Santa make the treaty
only be conccured. Some think he paid larely
for his good will Others no less firmly believe Ii
OF the steps taken TO the alliance with SPAIN
treated of by senor vvo and others again that
on the throne Of Mexico. But one imagnes the
treaty made from honest motives the bond
holders assert IT, even at this time when their interests
are directly al stake.
1t need scarcely be said that the prescn. liberal go
rcpudiacd this treaty and proposed that the
matter should be once more opened for adjustment and
amicable settlement. The bondhoders however
for payment until sr Spain was induced to
and with him feet TO Vera Cruz, TO
| demand the mdlmcnt of the treaty, and at
| the Same time menace the nation upon the arrival
of the Minister, few weeks ago, he refused OFF,
cia recognition until the fleet should depart from Mcx
waters. Santos Alvarez replied that the fleet
subject 10 his orders but TO those of the Captln
General of Cuba. Still nothing official could take place.
the Spanish Envoy made private visit Prcsi
dent Comonforl under convoy Of the French Minister
Count Gabriac The result OF this interview
factoryat least 80 far as related 10 the payment of the
bondhodcrs. Next individuals largely interested
met some Of the Cabinet by appointment on Sunday,
| when the whole matter was amicaby discussed, and
when 1t agreed that 40 per cent OF the amount
should be deducted and few additional articles put to
the convention treaty to make all square for tho future
But next day it was discovered TINT all the bondhoders
would not agree to thu and some others absent
that for many s tell through the Spanish Minis
ter the meanwhile saying that the persons interested
were willing TO renquish part Of their claims, he had 20
objectiss. but at the time he could not assist The
some said their claims legitimate and just while
others were known to be fraudulent Therefore, those
whosc claims were spurious ought 10 suffer all the deduc-
ton. Again, the bondholdcrs unanimous to
how much per cent ought TO be deducted, opinions
rying from ten TO forty per cent The opposition papers
no, idle amid these disputes but positively asserted
that the Spanish Minister would leave in lew days for
Vera Cruz and Havana Thus passed last week, with ths
firm convietian the minds OF all that santos Aware
would take his departure. The liberal papers
also had their opinions about the question, day
asserting that the question was the eve settlement
and another day declaring that the matter WI. FAR be.

senng the views of the French embassy said from the
first that would not be adjusted, and has kept

liberal papers cautious about their remarks, actin
adyisedly, they afraid that Vera Cruz
would be bombarded before suitable preparations
made TO give the spanish a reception. Bl the
EuroouRcry knowing well the sentiment Of the Who'll

question and - articles were eagerly translated TO be
