Sir Cyrus and the Unitea States.
PHILADELPHIA TimeS.1

Since Cyrus ". Field became Sir Cyrus
he has grown. On the 18th of July Secre-
tafy Evarts wrote to Pierrepont directing
him to inform the Direct Cable Company
that an attempt to consolidate would be
sufficient cause for the withdrawal of the
right to land on the coast Of the United
States. This was made public in London .
fortnight ago and the State Department has
been informed that Sir Cyrus told the Eng
lish stockholders that they could 60 right
on, that the United States could not do any,
thing. When the United States warn the
Direct Cable to pull up Its anchor at Rye
Beach and leave, perhaps Sir Cyrus may
change his mind. We certainly hope he
will have occasion to alter his opinion in
the matter.

the Mexicans:: all along the river, and north

Texas TO invade Mexico, and that he had
orders to cross with his men after raiders

Or,l's orders only authorize him to eros

there are 4 large number Of Mexican troops
EsCoBEDO INTRIGUING.
There is no doubt that EscobedO and tin
Lerdists are tanning this spark of war into
a blaze in the hope Of burning out the Dia
fists. Ii Escobedo can induce another raic
into Texas by Canal and his old enemies O

available forces Of Diaz to meet the Iexa
State troops and can slip into Mexico a
