count, or the payment Of the dividends which cor
respond to these same demasds being interrupted
and also taking into confederation the iscone stibe
right OF the government OF Mexico to prosecute, ju
dically those who, in consequence Of the revision.
should appear guilty Of an illegal introduction of
claims his Exceency has deened it right to order
the spanish convention 70 De executed BY paying to
the creditors all the dividends they have not received
equaliZing them to those of the creditors of the
English and French Conventions
In order that the said revision be duly effected
one or two commissioners for each Of the two
governments shall be nominated, and their functions
In the said revision shall be limited exclusively to
examining whether the claims intro iuced into the
Spanish fund have the three tequis ties of Spanish orr
gin--contnuity and actua lity-required by article
twelve of the convention Of 1851, and by article
thirteen Of the treaty concluded in 1858.
The claims which are defective as to any of those
requisites have, by this very fact, been Illegally in
PRODUCED iuto the Spanish fund.- created By the said
treaty according to its tenor and spirit for on that
ground both governments declare them illegal, and
reprove in the most solemn manner their introduc.
ton, as a violation Of the stipuations.
Although the claims which in this way have been
introduced were introduced Illegally yet considering
that some of the bonds issued for said claims may
have passed as bona fde into the hands Of
third persons the said bonds by principle of equi
ty and on account Of the public credit attached to
Them, are not peremptorily excluded from the Spa
nish fund.- but this does not exempt the owners Of
cuiion, if such should take place.
Consequently, the holders Of such claims who. be-
fore the revision, or during it, spontaneously will de-
liver for the sake OF justice their personal honor
the bonds they received in exchange, or others Of
the same amount and value, out Of the Spanish fund
and will to restore the revenues they may have
received paying them in cash. will not be subjected
to judgment; but those amongst the said creditors
who will not conform to it, will be prosecuted by the
civil and criminal tribunals both governments lend
ing their aid to this effect and the names Of sich
persons shall be Immediately published after the
vision having taken place; since the introduction of
claims without any of the three requisites above
named, constitutes crime, whatever may.b the pre-
text motive alleged. This is done in order that it
may serve in future as warning against similar
acts, and as the faith and justice of both govern
ments and public morality require it.
His Excellency, the Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary. of her Catholic Majesty
agrees on what goes before satisfied that his gov
eminent will also consent to it.
By order of his Excellency, Sr. President Substi
tute / make this communication to your Excellency
in order that you may take the necessary measures
for executing without delay this mutual convention,
as far ii concerns the republic and belongs to your
department. God ard Libe.ty. Rosa.
