  (1)  Excludes shares issued upon reinvestment of dividends. 
  (2)  The actual aggregate sales price for which such securities
       were sold was $7,637,704.  The actual aggregate redemption
       price of securities redeemed during such period by the
       Registrant was $24,909,993.  No portion of such aggregate
       redemption price has been applied by the Registrant pursuant
       to Rule 24e-2(a) in a filing made pursuant to Section
       24(e)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Pursuant to
       Rule 24f-2(c), the registration fee with respect to
       securities sold is calculated as follows:
       ($7,637,704 - $24,909,993) Divided by $2,900 = $0.  No fee is
       required pursuant to 24f-2(c).

            Re:  Rule 24f-2 Notice for
                 North American Government Bond Fund, Inc.
                 (File Nos. 33-53598 and 811-7292)        

  Gentlemen:

            North American Government Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Fund")
  is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
  Maryland with its principal place of business in Baltimore,
  Maryland.  The Fund is an open-end non-diversified management
  investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Company Act of
  1940 (the "1940 Act").  This opinion relates to shares of common
  stock, par value $.001 per share, sold by the Fund in reliance
  upon Rule 24f-2 during its fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the
  registration of which is made definite by the filing of the
  attached Notice. 

            We have reviewed all proceedings taken by the Fund in
  connection with the offer and sale of the shares of common stock,
  par value $.001 per share, which have been offered under
  Prospectuses included as part of the Fund's Registration
  Statement on Form N-1A, as amended to the date hereof, which has
  been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933
  and the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Registration Statement").

            We are of the opinion that such shares of common stock,
  when sold and issued in return for the payment described in the
  Fund's Registration Statement, were legally issued, fully paid
  and non-assessable by the Fund.


                                     Very truly yours,




                                     /s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius
