:, MEXICO WANTS MosEr.--Miramon, like the bell
hgerent powers In Europe, wants money to carry
on the wsr against Juarez, and the Cburch ~
Wnich ne IS the defender, has agreed to MORTGAGE
IT'S property to raise the Eeedfui. What chance he

OF Europe, where every great European mower ia
now begging for money to carry on war time will
disclose; but with the Church property liable tn
oe conhscated in some of the revolutions which
are nontniy occurring In Mexico, we should
not think the security would tempt mauy CAPITAL.

amount, especially as Europe will want ali the
money IL cap raise for ITSELF if general war en-.
sues, and will not be inclined to loan q State
which has treated her bon holders 50 shabbA NV
The fact of Miramon wanting to borrow shows
however, the strait that he is in, and that the
holding of Vera Cruz by Juarez gives him a de-
cided advantage, by crippling his adversary's
treasury and replenishing his own. So long as he
Is able to Keep of the chief port Of the
country, Miramon will no. be likely to succeed in
establishing bis own sway. So soon as he ceases
paying his troops they will desert him. Juartz's
prospects look bright yet.

Piedmontese armies will break against it like this
brittle glass. So saying, he threw the bottle be had
just emptied into the air. as to make is fall back
again upon the table, which, in fact, il did, but.
without breaking. Ths 0pinione states that all
the officers present stood sghass at this untouard
omen."
BRIGHAM You've ABOUT TO SELL OUT.-The Mormon
imbroglio bids fair to be speedily and permanently
settled. Ii appears that Brigham Young has SUBJ
mitted proposition to company OF capii alists to
