New YoHR, January 20.-The following
was published here to-day:
TEMPLE LONDON, November 2S, 1851
My Dear Barlow;-I have yours of the 18th
inst, and have no objection whatever to
give you all the information possess on
the subject Of Confederate bonds, which
some spectators on the stock exchange
have made subject of inauiry
on the rumor sedulously spread abroad
that there are vast sums deposited in the
Bank Of England, and elsewhere in Europe
The Confederate Government never had but
two means of raising money in Europe
one was by the export of cotton. all of
which was consigned to the house of
Frazer, Trenholm 4 Co, of Liyerpool. the
other was u loan effected through Messrs.
Erlanger Il Co., and Shredder &
CO.. the proceeds of which were
all received by Collin McRea.
Financial Agent of the Government, Al
the close of the war the United States Gov
crnment claiming the right to receive the
entire assets OF the Confederate govern
ment, instituted suits against Frazer, rren-
holm CO., and against McRae. After de.
termined and protracted litigation, Frazer.
Trenholm Co., We're driven into
bankruptcy, as their whole busi-
ness was destroyed and their credit bro
ken by the apprehension created in
the mercantile world of the result
OF the enormous claims hanging over them,
when they really owed little or nothing,
and ! think the United States ultimately
recovered few thousand dollars, us n com.
promise. McRac proved in his case that he
had rendered full and faithful account to
the Confederate government of the entire
proceeds of the loan in payment of sun.
plies and munitions of war to various COM
misariat and quartermasters' officers In
THIS country, and of coupons on
bonds, but he was willing to render his &C.
count over, again II the United States would
in his favor. This was declined, The case
is reported in the law reports, sth u, g., O9.
Poor McRae, In shattered health, with q few
hundred pounds, the wreck Of his shattered
fortune, emigrated to Spanish Honduras,
where he sought TO earn q support on a
small stock farm, but he died In extremely
reduced circumstances. The last payment
OF coupons on the Confederate loan was
ciiected after great effort by means of cot.
ton sold through Frazer, Trenholm & Co.,
as all proceeds Of the loan had long IRE.
vlously been exhausted. The United States
government also recovered some supplies,
machinery and several yessels-in lct'
everything that remained from the wreck,
aud do not believe that one penny Is TO be
found anywhere in Europe OF the assets of
the defunct Confederacy. Ifanythlnr can
ever be recovered by bondholders Il can
be only by government action In the United
States, and you can Judge better than | if
there is the remotest hope Of any such &C.
ton.
