EUROPEAN INTERFERENCE
IN AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

IN AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
We have received private intelli,
gence from London and Pari-, OF
such 4 nature IS warrants the telief
that the European powers are actu-
ally contemplating the policy Ct in

recting the movement Of this CONT

with the sane views. as they have
been managing the affairs of Europe
during the past and present century.
This will lie indeed a new and inter-
esting movement in politlco! aflais
connected wI;h this country, 10 which
the attention of The American people
must be called in no ,rilling degree.

is every reason to believe that the
British Government is endeavoring
to induce France. and the other Gov
ernments Of the European continent,
to unite with them in some plan of
interference and control similar TO
that which we have recently seen ex-
empIIfied III Greece, in Turkey, and
in Egypt. We think, from the source
through which we receive this intel

DOUBT Of its substantial accuracy, and
this belief is strengthened by the SIN

Government dare not carry their OPP
position to annexation TO such an ex-
tent as to %endanger the peaceful re-

Their own manufacturing and COM
mercial interest, and, indeed, we may
say their internal peace; are SO de-
pendent on the maintenance Of friend
ly intercourse with this country. that
any interruption of it would be Il
most essential evil to them. In or
der, however, to check the progress
and power of the United States on
this continent, and TO limit the moral
influence which the Republic exer-
cises in Europe, we have little doubt
but that the British Government are
endeavoring to form a coalition, on
the part Of the European powers. for
the purpose Of intimidating our Gov
eminent and preventing the annexa
ton Of Texas to this confederacy, or
the extension of our territory to the
Pacific, where we might interfere
with England, Russia, and other pow
ers.
Such is the amour; of the informa-
ton which we have received; and we
believe there is n great deal of truth
in these representations. When the
recent diplomatic developments re-
lative 10 Mexico shall have reached
Europe, we have no doubt this plan
OF the foreign Government will be
more fully matured, and that we shall
hear more of it by The next arrival.
The power and progress ofthis coun-
try have struck terror into the very
hearts Of the mnnalchists Of Europe,
and We have no doubt that great
things will soon spring out of the po-
sition which the two continents a,
