Prospect Of War.

Gen. Santa Anna, against the United States, which
have been made during an investigation relative to
the position Of the Mesilla Valley.
II appears that Louis Napoleon, DESTROYS Of turning
the attention Of the French from himself, at time
was apparent in Francs, and having discovered "the
position Of affairs relative to the Mesa Valley and
perceiving the weak state of Mexico, grasped the
complicated idea that if Gen. Santa Anna could again
rule the destnies Of Mexico he would in short time
ins,igate with the United States, during which
turbes Of his peace, and protect the interests Of the
Sandwich islands,
Louis Napoleon having first aroused the military
ardor of the French by announcing determination
invade England, and causing a show of preparation
for that object to be Immediately made dispatched
an Envoy Extraordinary to the Queen Of Spain and
informed her that the United States were graspins
power, that within short time they would, il not

and the West Indies, without which Spain could not
exist, which would finally result in the overthrow of
European Monarchy and give place to Republics,

Spain was to receive Mexico with California and

Of Mexico. Louis Napoleon would obtain the Sand

"The Commissioners were appointed to run the
boundary Of Mexico and the United States according
to the treaty of Hidalgo and Diaturnes map, while
the line On this map has been found to vary about 30
miles from lines other maps, which would give to
Mexico the Mesla Valley, whereas it rightfuIly be-

The United States has 'declared the Mesilla to be
part Of New Mexico and determined to protect
it, while they have sent all tho available force of the
army to the Rio Grande and New Mexico, with a
new Governor and military commander; with
private instructions what to pursue in case OF
emergency"
Although these facts look war-like, we believe that
at the present time there is the appearance Of trouble
enough in Europe, to enable Louis Napoleon and the
other members Of this alliance (f such has ever ex-
isted,) employment, for a few years, elsewhere than
on this continent.
