effort to console themselves with the idea that
the HERALD has no influence. II this be so,
what is newspaper influence! Can anybody

The EUROPEAN COALITION AGAINST MEXICO
The truth Of our conjectures relative to the real
motives of England, France and Spain in send.
ing joint expedition to Mexico receives con.
firmation from a recently published letter OF
the Paris correspondent of the Independence
Beige, an authority usually well informed in
matters of imperial policy. The letter in ques-
ton states that it is ascertained from reliable
quarters that the projected Intervention in
Mexico is conceived with Interior views. The
time, it is said must come when the blockade
of the cotton ports can be no longer tolerated
by the European Powers; and unless the expor-
tation Of cotton is permitted before the LIST OF
January next, the claim Of the Southern States
to recognition, provided they still maintain
their resistance to the federal authority, will
assume such urgency that a decision on the
part of England and France must ensue;
or, in other words, that those Powers
will recognise the rebel confederacy and
break the blockade. We read at the same
time in the Paris Potrie that the negotiations
in relation to the coalition relative to Mexico
are shortly to be terminated in London
where the convention between the three
Powers will be signed. The government Of the
United States, it is reported, will receive notice
of the convention and be invited to join the
other Powers, in order to obtain redress for the
injuries done to American citizens. If this lat
ter proposition went a little further we should
call it adding insult to injury; but as it is, We
simply smile at the idea, and assure England,
France and Spain that the United States will
take no part in the expedition. We regard il
as u menace which We shall feel bound to re-
sent at the close Of this war; and that cannot
now be long deferred. We shall then have an
army of probably eight hundred thousand men
and large feet. 1t will be only necessary to
direct portion of this immense force against
Mexico in order to expel the parties to this
coalition and make ourselves masters Of the
country. After that we can deal out retrbu-
ton to England and Spain by the capture of
Canada and Cuba. The task will be easy, and,
moreover, in view Of the attitude of those
Powers towards us in this our time of trouble,
a very pleasant one. Let our enemies there
fore beware, for the evil day is not far off.

Claiborne, while travelling i'll the wilds or Ar

and as he turned to flee, they rushed wildly
on after him as he urged inward the terror
stricken horse. The Colonel threw out sue
cessiyely his overcoat and cushion. which
the animals paused to trample upon, but they
soon gained npon hinl, and their horns were
already clashing against the back of the buggy,
when he plunged his horse breas deep Into
the hollow of large oak, and there he was
safe. the back OF tho buggy being the only
point OF attack. Discharges from six-shoot-

finally, a bottle Of scotch smut, at last sent
them oil snsezing and believing.

NEW ASrI-SLAvERY ORGANIZATION
Republican meeting in Chicago, on Tuesday
night, passed resolutions in favor of coercion,
commendatory Of the Tribune, dsnunciatory
of Kellogg, and against any compromise or
concession. The meeting was addressed by
Ichabod Codding, among others. The temper
of this patriot may be inferred from the fol.
lowing:
"Mr. Codding said he had been made &c.
quaint ted Tor as nearly acquainted as he could
be without actually joining it) with the exis-
enee of an organization more radical on the
subject OF slavery than anything yet known
to political movements In the United States
