Intercepted correspondence of Alvarez had led Il
to many of these arrests. We cannot pretend /
to give the names ofthe parties, but the mum.
Der Of them proves the extent of the dissatis~
faction with the Administration.
Letters had been received in Mexico from
Chihuahua, announcing that two American
officers had presented themselves near pre-
sidial garrison. seventy leagues from the city
of chihuahua, and having encountered a sol.
der of the garrison, they obtained from him
minute account of the force which was main
tanned there, and how many inhabitants and
soldiers could be drawn from the Department
to defend the city. Upon leaving him, they
made him gratuity, and announced that they
would return in few days with strong force.
We find these details in Ell Republican,.
La VoZ de Mlchoacan says that Gen. Her.
nandez did actually attempt TO revolutlonize
that Department, under orders from Gen. AL
varez, but that he failed, and was taken pris-
oner and sent to Mexico. The precious report
was. that be was convinced of his error, and
had voluntarily given in his adhesion to the
Central Government.
Ell Diario Official, of the 18th of May, an
nounces that Gen. Alvarez had embarked at
Acapulco the artillery ofthe Castle fSan Die
90, and sailed for some of the Republics of the
South, with a view to sell the artillery. Tho
announcement is made without comment. The
distinguished Gen. Almonte had stated that
the movement of Alvarez was one which would
give Paroles great difficulty-that he could
not in fact put it down. Thesamepaper states
that Gen. Hernandez, who was implicated in
the movement at Acapulco, has acknowledged
his error and sought the inclemency of the
Government.
! Two of the small Mexican vessels Of war,
Guerrero and the Victoria, said for the Alva-
RADIO on the 18th ult., and a third one on the
following day. The rest Of the Mexican ma
Wy were to be despatched at once up the AL
varado for safety.
Among the passengers who arrived at Vera
Cruz on the 29lh uIt., from the capital was
Don Luis Hargous.
The assembly Of the Department Of Mexico
has voted to accord to the Supreme Govern
nent the monthly subsidy Of 100000, com
mencing on the lst of June inst. The lear
was made on the petition of the Government
: Correspondence by the British steamer:
for Havana and Spain is required to be seaIec
by the Post Master and the English Coun
sci.
7 The duties on the cotton imported at Yer;
? Cruz during the month of April reached thu
sum of $l6O,76n The expectation Of specl'
thence during the same time amounted t.
: $233,285.
0 The measures adopted by the new Secreta
= ry of the Treasury to obtain funds for the wa
] are denounced as of the most arbitrary and in
iouitous nature. The pay of the public EN-
D Diovecs was cut down, funds set apart for pub
: lie creditors diverted, and like stringent mea
0 sures adopted.
! The theatres Of the different cities have al
y ready come forward with benefits for tn
S widows and orphans Of the first victims OF tn
l. war. The press is eloquent in praise OF sue
II benevolence.
e We think the general tone of the publ
= press of Mexico is more melancholy than "
l. have before seen it. The military chleftain
write lonr letters full OF gasconade, but w
r doubt if the press is misIed by them. The
d discuss with vigor the measures OF the Cover
> ment, and Notwithstanding the severity OF tn
t. recently enacted decree in regard to the pres:
7, they condemn these measures while they jus
l. tify the war. The spirit of the people appear
10 be aroused generally on the point of homo
ID but the tone of feeling is nevertheless despo'
l. dino. save in the case of those in high milit
ry positions. o-.
N saws that Admiral Seymour, whose arrival
y Mazatan we lave announced, is concentratL
of at that po,t feet which will consist of t!
ID ColIingwood, of so guns; the America al
Is Grampus, of SO guns each; and seven 9th
p vessels of war of smaller class, but whi'
d, will carry the total of the guns of that fleet
is to SAG guns. The Admiral has besides TO-
ri steamers at bis disposal. The Mexicans arg
S from this large force that England is sure to
I'd clare war on the Oregon question. This I'd
Is has heen a favorite one with them all alon
We and is certainly influencing their hopes OF su
til cess in the war with us.
