General Grant on the Mexican cues
tiOn.
PHILADELPHIA, October At is estab-
4ished beyond doubt, that, in conversa-
ton With distinguished ulinoisan, few
days since, Lieutenant General Grant so
far varied from his customary reticence on
public topics, as to unreservedly express
himself on the Mexican question.
He declares that the Government will
vindicate the Monroe doctrine at an early
day, and that Maximillian must leave
Mexico. 1t will be, he says, less expen-
sivegto rid Mexico of the presence of an
enemy, than to guard our borders against
him. 1t is his opinion that it will require
no call for troops, but that with our present
army we can spare enough to give effect
iveness to the forces that Mexico will be
ready to put into the field, if our govern
ment aids them in the matter of supplies.
Genersl Grant is of the opinion that the
President and authorities at Washington
hold this as a settled purpose, and only
await the meeting of Congress to take open
ground in the matter. 1t is believed that
France will not be able to disregard Eu-
ropean complications, present and pros
pective, SO Us to make the cause of Maxi
millian her own.
This solution of the Mexican question
must be accepted as one of the forthcom-
ing sensations for the close of the year.
