No. 6., February 8

No. 6.

Notice.

In a supreme order of to-day the minister of treasury and public credit says to me, among other things, as follows:

“The President also desires that on the 10th instant there shall take place the first auction for the redemption of the bonds of the extinguished English and Spanish conventions, to which the communication of this department of the 1st instant refers, assigning for this auction a fund of ninety thousand dollars, including the seventy three thousand dollars and a little over, which exist in the hands of the late agents of said bonds.

“You will take care that this fund of ninety thousand dollars shall be divided between the bonds called Spanish and English in proportion to the amount represented by the total of each one of those two classes of bonds.

“In this way there will be applied in the present month one hundred thousand dollars to the redemption of the public debt, and the President expects that in the subsequent months there can be applied to this object an equal or a greater sum.”

Of which I hereby notify the holders of bonds of the extinguished English and Spanish conventions, who may wish to have their bonds redeemed, to the end that they may meet at this general treasury on the 10th of the present month, at ten o’clock in the morning, when the auction will commence.
