MEXICAN RUMORS.
Important, IL True-The FIlibustering
Movement n Cloak to Inaugurate
Another Rebellion.

Another Rebellion.
WASHINGTON, July I7.-Certain information
has leaked out here which, II true, gives a new
and startling explanation Of the sudden and
widespread movement to avenge the death of
Ma&imilian. A statement was made to-day, by
q person who has been initiated into the inner
circle OF the present so-called hlibustering en-
teTprise, that the real object of this oTganiza-
tion is to inaugurate another attempt TO gain
the independence OF the Southern States
II is said that the enrolling of volunteers
which for time was a spontaneous movement
in different parts Of the country, with the real
intention of going Into Mexico and Joining with
some one of the factions opposed to the Juarez
Government, partly TO avenge the death of
Maximilian. and partly to advance their own
ihoiviauai r interests. ; Is now rapidly assuming
the management of cunning politicians and
experienced soldiers. Men are to De initiated
of military discipline, and are to preserve strict
secrecy with regard TO the movements of the
organization, as well as to those who are men,
beTs of 1t.
Arms ammunition, and other supplies are to
be accumulated at designated points. and
everything is 10 be in readiness to take advan-
tage of the opporlune moment. or the time
when operations are to be commenced there is
nothing definite decided upon. Two particular
contingencies have been mentioned, either of
which arising would be taken as fitting oppor-
tunity TO strike the first blow One Is the i'm
parchment OF the President and his resistance
TO removal from Office. In such a contingency
the leaders of the "Maximillan Avengers5 will,
it is said concentrate their forces, which, it is
expected, Will in O few months number hum
dred thousand, and bring them to the support
of the Presidential party.
The other event which 1t is thought would
afford convenient opening is to oinvade Mexico
with filibustering force, and thus precipitate
q war between the United States and that coun-
try, in which case the organization of "Aven-
gers" will at once take sides with the Mexican
Government against the United States 1t is
also stated that the organization Is receiving
accessiOns in the late insurrectlonary States
with astonishing rapidity, principally from
those men who fought in the late Rebellion,
and are disfranchised therefor.
Much of the above details is given by the in
foImant as the assertions of men prominent In
the movement. but the statement that the
objects OF the organization are inimical to the
Government, and contemplate its final destruc-
tion, rests upon more substantial foundation
than mere rumor. do not undertake, how
ever, to vouch Tor the absolute reliability of
these developments, but deem IL proper to give
them 10 the public, considering the importance
of the subject.
for Mexico from European Powers.
Mr.. Nugent, of California, who is backed for
the Mexican mission by many influential par
ties is here. In the event of Otterbourg's reec-
tion, which is pretty certain, Nugeups nomi-
nation by the President seems probable. Mr..
| Nugent resided in Mexico for several years,
speaks the language OF the country, and is said
| TO have a thorough knowledge OF its compli-
| cat ed fairs.
1t is belived here in certain quarters that
! France, Austria, and Prussia will make war on
| Mexico in the event of a refusal by the Liberal
| Government to deliver up the body OF Maxi
