FROM THE COLORADO.

An express arrived in town from Fort Yuma,
Tuesday morning last bringing intelligence of antici-
pated trouble with the Indians in that section. Pas
dual the Chief of the Yumas, came into the fort and
stated to Col. Burke that the MarlcOpas and COcopas
had combined and to make an attack on his
tribe and the troops at the Post, and that they were
daily expected. Az the express left the fort, the Yuma
scouts were dscov the road looking out fol- the
tribes aforementioned
Mr.. Yancey, who came through from the Arizona
Mine states that his way he met large parties of
the MaricOpas and COcopas making preparations for
war and who informed him that they were to give
battle to the whites and Yumas the 7th sth inst.
Notwithstanding all this, those acquainted with these
different tribes are of the opinion that the difficulty is
solely among themselves, that the Yumas fearing
an attack from their more numerous enemy, had re-
ported that they combined against the whites as
well the Yumas in order to obtain the cooperation
Of the troops against their enemies.
