The chances of war in tho north OF
Spain appear at present to be in favor Of
the Constitutional party. Tie Carists'
forces arc almost entirely concentrated in
the mountains of Gulpuscoa, the passages

the war can be considered as ended.
"Ohicial letters have been received in
town to-day, from some part of Mexico,
which state that the war in Texas will not
be discontinued-that the Mexican Gov
ernment cannot, aud will not abide by any
treaty that SANTA ANA may make-that
he lost The battle of the 2lst of April,
through cowardice and carelessncss-and
that Mexico, as one Of the nations of the
earth, cannot assent to The loss Of an i'm
portant province, because Of the dupIicity
or negligence OF man who was never tit
for the service he encountered. II his
head goes off, Mexico will not part with
an inch of her territory. Such is the Off
cial news from Mexico, and | suspect it
is entitled 10 the fullest credit"
