SUDDEN RISE IN MEXICAN BONDS.
A MILITARY DICTATORSHIP AT MATAMOROS

Paris letter of September - says: The Convention
passed between the French and Mexican Governments,
concedng to the former half of the Custom House reven-
ues of the ports the Atlantic and oneuTh ofthose OF
the hsbors the Pacific has looked upon in the
French Bomse as securing the Mexican debt and has
caused sudden rise in Mexican bonds. The holders OF
these bonds encouraged by the guarantee just obtained
maintain that France is by that convention entitled to
require al all times from Macmillan or his SUCCESSORS
the payment of ali amounts hitherto dsbursed for Mexico
including the loans which these bonds represent.
The publication of that Convention in the MoHteNr
happening concueny with the appointment OF Gen. do
Castelnau, the Ad-de-Camp Of the Emperor and NJ dc
Gaet, administrator of great ability, has naturally
been construed as the orerunner of the entire abandon
of ell direct intervention by France N Mexican az
fairs Thus while hand the aforesaid Convention
settles all her financial claims, the removal OF Gen. Ba
zane Of which you viii hear long, and the appoint.
men in his stead of Gen. de Castenau, settles the mill
tary part OF the question. The General goes TO Mexico
with other mission than 10 arrange for the Withdrawal
of the French troops and perhaps give the benefit OF
his experience 10 the officers engaged IN organizing the
Mexican army. This is ALL His task will necessarily be
short one and does imply the part OF tho French
Government the idea OF giving any assistance 10 ths
Mexican Empire which, in London and rams ~ Looked
upon reevably lost. As TO the Marquis OF Galhet,
his appearance Mexico refers solely 10 the organization
of the Custom House system and 10 the appointment OF
Custofn-ouse officers who TO be selected from among
civil officers Of French birth.
