Department of Treasury and Public Credit.–Section 1.

The President of the republic directs that on Monday, the 20th instant, the fourth auction shall take place for the redemption of the bonds of the national debt, known as the interior debt, and that on the following day there shall take place the third auction for the redemption of bonds belonging to the extinguished English and Spanish conventions.

For the first of these auctions it is the desire of the President that you shall assign at least the sum of thirty thousand dollars, and for the second the sum of forty thousand dollars, augmenting both of these sums to the maximum fixed by the law, if the circumstances of the treasury will permit.

In all relating to these two auctions you will be guided by the instructions that have been given to you with reference to the preceding.
