fever has made its appearance, ea* in addition to
this awful scourge, nightly sasessiewaiens are com-

and distress, to the necessity of enlisting in the
Mexican ranks.—Business is at a awed.—Today a
proclamation was issued by the Emperor, declaring .
an active war against the forces al old Spain re-
mining ip Meitco. All communiestion ceases be-
tween the castle and the city ; and she American
vessels are warped away... The litteut Mexico is
in clouds and darkness, and time alone can decide-on •
her fate."-
