RumoEE of a kurOpsau Coalition Ag&iMat
tas Rspabue'
The following appeared in the ReuiStd Uni
cerSGt and has been generally quoted by the
press of this city, taken from the 1rda
Some ,ime since a new European coalition
AGAINST Mexico was predicted. We do not
know the origin of this report SO universally
circulated, but, absurd as 1t may seem, there
must be some cause for its origin, Tor where
there is smoke there must be ire. We await
an explanation OF the following Information,
which We have received rom San Fraucscp,
ana which we give to our reade1s:-"We have
been informed in a private comm lHIcstiOns that
France, Span, Austria, and England are
discussing new coalition in accord with
the United States Tor the purpose of organiz-
| ing a serious and decisive campsign AGAINST
Mexico. The European nations will divide up
NJ xlCo among themselves after which each one
will sell lis porlon 10 the Unlted states, winch
| latter nation shall have previously received for
its 81 are the States of Lo ser California Sonora.
| Chlbuahua and Durango. Each Of these leagued
nations will furnish a contingency OF thirty i've
| thousand men, and each VIII operate indA md
ent OF the oher in the part OF tue country
agreed upon in the general plan of the cam
| paiep." We do not ask the Government 10
creOit or heed thlI rumOr; but If it sights the
| warning, If in the tutare anything serious
hould turn no, the Government alone can be
| blamed. We hardly think the ne VS. can be
credited, but that there is something ia it L
certain, and the warning should be heeded
| before too late. 1t is my opinion that a Euro.
pean coalition is under discussion, but that it il
| pacific in lis object.
