. We think the gene ral tone ofthe public
press Of Mexico is more melancholy than
! we have before seen 1t. The military
chiefiains write long letters full of gas.
conade, but we doubt ifthe press is misled
by them. They discuss with vigor the
measures Of the government, and notwith.
standing the severity of the recently en-
acted decree in regard to the press, they
condemn these measures while they jusli.
fy the war. The spirit Of the people ap.
pear TO lie aroused generally on the point
OF honor, but the tone of feeling is never>
theless desponding, save in the case ,of
those in high military petitions.
A letter from Topic, dated the 25th
April, says that Admiral Seymour, whose
arrival at Manzatlan we have announced.
is concentrating at that port feet which
VIII consist ofthe ColIingwood, ofS0 guns;
the America and Grampns, of 80 guns
each; and seven other vessels of war of
smaller class, but which will carry the to.
tai Of the guns of that lleetnp to 346. The
Admiral has besides four steamers at his
disposal Tie Mexicans argue from this
large force that England is sure e declare
war on the Oregon question. This idea
has been favorite one with them III along
and is certainly influencing heir hopes Of
success in the war with us.
