The European Times states that a rumor
have asked the Intervention Of Great Britain

the mediation of the British government to ar
range the UeJWGGU tIle CnltGu IClulcS
and Mexico, is the most important news of the
morning, and has excited much interest. The

will be forwarded to Mr. Pakenham, our min
lister at Washington, by the Caledonia steamer,
which will sail from Liverpool tomorrow NOR
ming.
Measures will also be taken to have the pro-

ton prints are all on the side of America and
predict an early conquest Of Mexico by the
United States. The apprehension caused by
the war of the United States with Mexico
