Ya se hiibia recibido en Méjico la noticia de que la expedición filibustera t*e apoderó de la Paz, y proclamó ia independencia de la Baja California, en los término,-* que y* hemos comunicado a nuestros lectores, FI general Santa Ana ten i ¡i conocimiento ojtaeto de cuanto pasa baen California, é biso oportunas reclamaciones al gobierno de loe listados Unidos para que impidiese que sus oíudadünos perpetrasen el premeditado crimen. Las órdenes que de Washington se dieron a las autoridades de San Francisco con este objeto fueron desatendidas, y el atentado se consumó a despecho del tratado do amistad celebrado entre ambos países y do los principios del derecho de gentes Tanto Méjico como los listados Unidos han sido ofendidos por aquellos aventureros, yambos deberían unirse para castigarlos y poner término al espíritu de agrecion creciente que te desarrolla en este continente. Cuando la independencia y la paz internacional nose con-ñde ran seguras, aun observando una conducta leal y circunspeta, cual conviene a naciones cifili zadas y cristianas, ¿cou que confianza se recibi ran las promesas amistosas de la República del Norte, ni qué especie de fé puede tenerse en *us tratados? Mejico, después del convenio de Guadalupe Hidalgo, por medio del cual se pro puso conseguir una paz duradera al precio de los mas grandes sacrificios, ha visto constante mente amenazadas sus fronteras por partidas de aventureros organizadas en territorio americano y bajo el amparo de las leyes de e-te pais. Una vez y otra ve/ ha rechazado fuerzas inva goras, y loa filibusteros volviao al territorio de la Union, no para ser escarmentados por la violación de las leyes del pais, sino para evitar la persecución, rehacerse y volver á invadir la república vecina" Carvajal y sus secuaces viven tranquilos en las riberas do Rio Orando, a la vista de los pueblos que han sido víctimas de sus atentados criminales; y si no han repetido sus ataques filibusteros en el territorio mejicano, es porque temen la actitud armada en que se mantiene aquella frontera, coa gran sacrificio del gobierno dc aquel país. Tor ht parte de Nuevo Méjico no ha sido menor el peligro en que se ha visto constantemente la integridad de aquella República, Si el exgobernador Lane no hubiera encontrado fuerzas dispuestas a rechazar su invacion. el vallo de la Mesilla estaría hoy de hecho incorporado al territorio angloamericano, y tal vez los dos paises citarían a estas horas empeñados en una nueva guerra desastrosa. Pero no era posible que Mejico mantuviese un ejército en todas sus fronteras. Despedazado por U guerra civil; desrnenbrado de sus mas ricas posesiones; amenazado por la guerra constante do los salvajes; empeña fo en fin en Ja obra de la reorganización nacional para res tablecer su crédito exterior y el orden en el interior, sus recursos no han sido suficientes para tanto. La Baja California, que es un territorio comparativamente despoblado y separado de los demás Estados por grandes desiertos estaba por consiguiente sin defensa, y de esta ci'-cuns- tancia se bao valido los filibusteros angloamericanos para atacar por aquell-a parte a la República vecina, sin respeto a las leyes ni a los compromisos so'euines de su gobierno. La primera intentona ha debido ser, por consiguiente, favorable a los aventureros, y aunque sea dilicíl atacarlos por la dí--tancia a que se encuontran del centro y de los recursos del gobierno, serán en fin castigado* por las autorblades del país cuyo territorio han violado ya que no hay qua esperar quo lo sean por las que obran en nombre del gobierno del pais agresor. Tal es por lo menos la resolucío del general Santa Ana, como se deduce del artículo de fondo publicado sobre este asuntoen el periódico oficial el 10 de noviembre pasado. Para conoeirnieuto de nuestros lectores lo insertamos a continuación. Dice así: .*'• Un suceso importante reclama boy toda la atención de la república. -El puerto de la Paz ha sído ocupado por fuerzas salidas del do San Francisco de California, doblando el cabo de San Lúeas, y apresando en la travesía al buque que conducía al Sr, coronel Don Climaco Rebolledo, comandante militar nombrado para la Baja California. Lo fue igualmente el Sr, D. Rafael Espinosa en su propia casa, luego que desembarcó la gerjtc que a bordo llevaron los buques nombrados Carolina y Arroto. La seguridad con que se presentaron para lo^'njr su sorpresa, fue el pabellón nacional que lleva- han al atravesar el pacifico, desde su marcha do san Francisoo, y do.i le Gaicaparon sacando todos los documentos debidos como conductores be pasajeros para Guaymas. •• Oportunamente, y desde que se proyectaba tan criminal expedición, el supremo gobierno lo supo y no perdonó medio ni perdió tiempo par-i impedirla. Debia poner en conocimiento de la Union Americana la existencia de esa conspiración, y justificarla con datos que no de" jaran la menor duda ; porque siempre ha esperado que esc gobierim fiel a los deberes que le ente a las expresas reglas del último tratado que debe ligar a ambaa naciones con los vínculos do la mas leal fraternidad, y con el amparo de la mas sincera amistad, antes que todo im pedirin una agresión que nada puede disculpar como opuesta y contraria a todo derecho, hasta cl terminante compromiso contraído el 2 de fe. brerode 1848. " Bien instruido el supremo magistrado de la república de que algunos subditos dc los E, tados UnidoaS proyectaban invadir el rico suelo de Sonora; cierto deque se aprestaban los medios positivos para una empresa decisiva; sabedor aun de los nombres de los que como autores de la intentona se hallaban al frente para dirijír lo conveniente al logro de la inicua combinad on; no ignorando, en Su, ni Jos medios, arbitri os y elementos que se designaban y aprestaban' lo puso todo en conocimiento de tas autoridades de esa nación, que con tales datos no podia sin una violación tremenda de todo derecho, descu1 dar, ni en un punto ni en tiempo alguno imre dir el movimiento, un el estado en que estubie ra, hr'ge que fuera convenientemente instruida. El conato en ya eficaz, y merecía no solo ser reprimido, sino muy severamente castigado eo mo un positivo crimen, en cuya represión estaba interesado el nombre y prohibidad del ga bínete americano. " No bastaba esto ; era preciso y sobre toda consideración instruir sin embozo a la respecti va autoridad en San Francisco para que a su vez tomara las providencias activas y conducen tes a neutralizar esa convinacion, que apenas realizada, seria un argumento de muy difícil solución contra la lealtad y armonía que núes tros vecin -.s tienen prometida a Méjico : y no solo su felicidad era objeto dol supremo gobierno, sino también la misma nombradla de los Estados Unidos. El supremo gobierno, pues, muy Oportunamente pnvíó las instrucciones é informes a su ministro en Washington y al de este gabinete aquí, y a cuyos avisos se debe que fuese detenida la goleta inglesa Arrow, uno de los buques que formaban la vanguardia quizá de la expedición sobre Sonora, y el apresamien todo armas y municiones. " Los tribunales se ocupaban en resolverlo justo acerca de la suerte dc esta embarcación de estos útiles de guorrr.i. ya que por desgracia no pudo estoi baree toda la expedición. 1; Está consumado un crimen, que ambas na eiones deben castigar, para que ni siquiera se tenga la sospecha de abrigar un pensamiento tie injuria contra Méjico, y para conservar in- cóume el deposito sagrado de nuestra naciona lidad, por el cual ningún (-echo mejicano habrá que no sienta latir con fuerza el ardor de la mas santa dc las venganzas. El supremo go bernador nada descuida para llenar en esta par to tan importantes deberes ; pero todos y cada uno de los nacionales y de cuantos tomen parte por la causa de la justicia, cumplirán por su parto con pagar el tributo de sus nobles sacri ficios." La prensado Nueva Orleans, refiriéndose a noticias que dice haber recibido de Méjico has ta el 23 de noviembre, anuncia que el general Santa Anna ha sido proclamado .Dictador por diez años por iodos los departamentos, con es oepcionde uno que opinó por la Dictadura vita lieja. En los periódicos de Méjico que hemos recibido,aunque no de fecha tan reciente.solo en contramos un párrafo que publica el Universal, bajo el t=\tulo de "Noticia interesante," que di ce asi : " Ayer ha corrido en esta capital la voz de haberse recibido de Guanajuato un despacho te legrafioo, eu el que se noticia que las autoridades y vecinos de Guadalajara y otros puntos han declarado que es voluntad nacional el que el .Exorno. Si-, presidente de la República, general de division y benemérito de la patria don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, continúe con las facultados extraordinarias de que hoy se encuentra investido por todo el tiempo que en concepto de S. E. fuere necesario para consolidar el orden público, difiriéndose en consecuen cia la convocatoria del Congreso, según lo previno el plan de Jalisco, reformado por los conve nios del 9 de febrero. Dicese asimismo que en la exposición de Guadalajara se atiende a la manera de asegurar el poder público, en el caso de un desgraciado evento en la persona del supremo magistrado de la nación ; y por último, se pide que se haga efectivo el decreto que creó una capitanía general en el ejército, cuyo alto empleo servirá el mismo Sr. Santa Anna." Se dice también de Nueva Orleans, que la dictadura no era mas que el paso previo para el Imperio; y que a consecuencia de la invasion filibustera, el general Santa Anna se procla maria Emperador el 12 de diciembre. Tantas veces sa ha anunciado este acontecimiento en los periódicos de Nueva Orleans, que no cree, moa necesario detenernos a discurrir sobre el asunto. El gobierno habia aprobado el proyecto presentado por el cuerpo de ingenieros para la construcion de un panteón nacional, cuartel de inválidos, reforma del edificio conocido coa el nombre de Ciudadela, establecimiento do un colegio militar,almacén de pólvora, laboratorio de mixtos, calzada desdo el Salto de la Agua basta encontrar el Paseo de Buoareli, destrucci on de los arcos de Belén desde la garita de este nombre a la caja del agua, y sustitución del acueducto con encañadas ; construcción de tres cuarteles, uno de caballería y dos para infantería, y un campo militar de maniobras. Los trabaj os deben princi piar el 1 ° de enero con el 1 por 100 al mes que se descontará de] sueldo de todos los empleados públicos, de cu narán exclusivamente al complemento de estas obras. Parece que habla empesado a organizarse la Orden de Guadalupe, de cuyo restablecimiento hemos hablado hace poco En el " Siglo diez y nueve" encontramos sobre el particular lo siguiente : l! Segun ee dice, el Sr. general don Ni«olás Bravo ha sido ci primer nombrado gran cruz, y por consiguiente será cl vicepresidente y canciller de la orden ; la gran cruz se ha .concedido ai Sr. arzobispo de Mejico, D. Lázaro de la Gai*i:a, al Sr. obispo de uiichoacan, D.Clemente Mangula, al Sr- aban do la Colegiata de Guadalupe, al Sr, D Agust'n de Iturbide, hijo ma yor del Libertador, al Sr. general D. Manuel Lombardinj, a losdosS.S generales Cervantes Se dice que los generales de division, algunos di los gobernadores y fia obispos comendadores y caballeros los generales de brigada. los dea nes de los cabildos, y los miembros del consejo de Estado. Aun no se habla de quienes serán pensionados. El mismo periódico habla de rumores que indican que el gobierno trataba de fundar una nuevtt condecoración, semejante en su objeto y orginiziicton a la de la Legación de Honor de Francia. En Zacatecas buho un encuentro entre las tropas del g..bienio y una parlida de salvajes, que dio por resultado la muerte de 13 de los últimos, con el rescato del botin y prisioneros que se habian llevado, y 4 muertos, 6 heridos graves y 7 ligeramente por parte del gobierno. En los demás puntos de aquellas desoladas Iron t' ras Sontiriuaban haciendo estragos impunemente. El gobierno se ocupaba activamente en contener este mal, y pnrece que se inclinaba a restablecer las antiguas misiones, que tan buenos frutos dieron en tiempo del gobierno Español, _La Crónica de N. Y_ A buen Gato buen ratón. Los diarios de Nueva York refiieren qne en la noche del 25 tie diciembre se represent j en la calle de Monroe una comedia de que un bribón cayó en la red que él mismo había tendido. Un ladrón robó últimamente en casa del juez Beebe varias prendas preciosas, y algunos artí culos de tocador. Apesar de asjantas diligenci as se hicieron, no se habia podido descubrir al culpable, cuando en la mañana del domingo, el hijo de un Mr, L.,.. se presentó al juez y le in vitó a leer una c uta que su padre acababa de recibir. En esta carta, una persona que no da ba su nombre, pero que dicia vivir en el número 48 de la calle de Monroe, anunciaba que s' se registrase la casa de Mr. Joseph Eericb, si tuada en la misma calle, y cuyo individuo tie ne una tienda en el número 19 de la calle de Maiden Lan,a, so hallarían los objetos robados al juez Beebe. En virtud de estas noticias el juez dispuso que dos agentes de policía se A LOS SEMBRADORES- H" OS infrascritos han empegado la elección JL— de un molino partí moler trigo en esta ciudad, y deseando ce mprar grano entre, adera en su molino el a¡'0 entrante : Sembradores deseosos de h :cer contrato para la entrega de trigo bueno y limpio a rozón de cuatro pesos la fanega ó a tres centavos la libra ocurrirán con FRANCIS MELLUS.

Penetrado de esta ¡dea, Mr. Ehiick envió inmediatamente uno de sus hermanos a cusa del juez Beebe, y otro en busca de un agRntede policía. Al salir este último encontró precisamente a uno de los que estaban vigilando la casa: le explicó lo ocurrí do, y ouando estaba hablar-do, tío al otro lado de la calle a un hombre que trataba de ocultar se eo la oscuridad. Dirigióse entonces hacia él, mas al verle acercarse el personage misterio 30 ee embozó en su capa de manera que no se le pudiera Yer el rostro.

Kirk, quo vivía cn b' calle 3. rt , fue arrestado en Nueva York el 19 d$ Diciembre por haber cosido a puñaladas a su mujer. El cuñado del asesine declara que hasta el mencionado dia Kirk habia sido exelente esposo. Unos ocho días antes, habia dado señales de enagenacion mental. Ala una de la mañana de dicho día se levantó y se puso a coser : dos horas después reunió cierta cantidad de virutas debajo de la cuma y íes dio fuego; y vi ende _ae su mujer ahogaba las llamas con mantas de la cama, arrojó un grito terrible, cogió a uno de sus hijos, lo untó con confina y le dio también fuego Sin embargo, logró otra vez su mujer apagar las llamas que empezaban a devorar al desgraciado niño. Furioso entonces Kirk, cogió a su mujer por el pescuezo, la tendió en el suclp y lo infirió mas de veinte puñaladas. Informada la policía de tan horrible escena; se presento inmediatamente en casa de Kirk. La desgraciada mujer fue conducida al hospital, pero hay pocas esperanzas do salvar su vida.

His house was the seat of hospitality, tha resort of friends and actjtiaintunces, and of all strangers visiting the statu—and the more agreeahle to all from the perfect conformity of Mr*. Jack son s disposition to his own. But he needed some excitement beyond that which a farming life could affui-d, and found it foi eome years in animating soovts of tlie tuvf.

His temper placable as well as inmiscible, and his reconciliations were e.irdial ariii sincere. Of that my own ens was a signal instance.

And when they both afterwards became members of the chinch, it was the natural and egular resales of tbeir eariy and eberisbe¿ feelittps. He was g-entle in bis house, and -live 1'ü th? í^nderest 6tó@ÍÍ«haJ -and of this I enn give an infancy greatly in eontrast with liis (■upposed chai a-eter, and worth more than a long discours'j in showing what that character realty was. 1 arrived at his house one wet, chilly tven- ing in February, ana came upon him in the twilight, sitting alone before the lire a lamb and a eí'ü'i between his knees. He started a little, callea ;l servant to remove the two innocents an another ri;<-ui, and explained to me how it was. 1 he child had cried because the lamb was out in the cold, and ¡¿R^ged him to bring it in, which he had done to p.'eaee the child—his adopted son, then n*it two years old. Tbe ferocious man does not do that; and though Jackson hud his passions and his vio lences, they were for men and enemies—those who stood up against him—and not for women and children, or the weak and helpie.s*. for all whom his feelings were those of protect» n and support Mis hospitality was active as well m cordial, embracing the worthy in every walk i,f life, and seeking out worthy objects to receive it, no matter how obscure Of thi* I learned a characteristic instance in relation to the son of the late famous/Jnniel Boone. Tho young man had come to Nashville on his father's b isiness. to be detained ■so.iie weeks, and had his lodgings at a small tavern in tlie lower part of the town. Señera! Jackson heard of it, sought him out, found him, took him home to remain as long as his business detained him in the country, saying, 'Your father's dog should not stay in a tavern while I have a house.'' This was heart! and I had it from the young man himself long after, when he was a State Senator of the General Assembly of Missouri, and as such nominated me for the United S. Senate at my fiist election in 1S20 Hie name was Benton J3oone. and so named after my father. Abhorrence of debt, public and private, dislike of banks, a d love of hard money, love of justice, and love of country, were ruling passions with Jackson ; and the-e he gave constant evidences in all the situations of life. Of pii vate debts he contracted none of his own, and made any sacrifice to get out of those incurred for others. Of this he gi'-e a signal instance not long before the war of 1812—selling the improved part his estate, with the best build ings ¡n the country upon it, to pay a debt in cum d in a mercantile adventure to assist a young relative, and going into log houses in the forest part to begin a new home and a farm. He was ¡rtiached to his friends and to his coun try. and i.ever believed anything to the dis credit of either until compelled by proof. He would not believe in the first report of the surrender of General Hull, and became sad and oppressed when forced to believe it. ile never gave un a friend in a doubtful case, or from policy or calculation. He was a firm believer in the goodness of superintending Providence, and in the eventful right and justice of the people. I have seen him at the most desperate part of his fortunes, and never saw him waver in the belief that it would come right in the end. In the time of Cromwell he would have been a Puntan. The '¡laraeter of bis mind \va3 that of judgment, with a rapid and almost intuitive perception, followed by instant and decisive ac tion. lt was that made him a General and a President for the times in which he served He had vigorous thoughts, but not the faculty in arranging them in a regular composition, either Sfrittenor spoken, and in formal papers usually gave his manuscript to an aid, a friend, or a Secretary, to be written over—to the lus» of vigor. But the thoughts were his own vigorously es Dressed, and withe ut effort, writing with a rapid pen, nd never blotting or altering; but as Curly le says of Cromwell, hitting the nail upon the head as lit went. I have a great deal of his writing pow, some un public affairs, covering several sheets of paper, and no erasures or in ter I ¡neat ions anywhere His Conversation was like his writing, n yigcrous flowing current, apparently without any trou ble of thinking, and always impressive. His conclusions were rapid and immovable, when he was under strong convictions, though often yielding in minor points to his friends. And uo ooeyieided quicker when he was convinced ; perfectly illustrating the difference between firmness ¡*nd obstinancy Of all the /'residents who have done me the honor of listening to my opinions, there was do one Uj whom I spoke with more confidence whon 1 felt myself to be in the right. He had a load to carry all his 'ifc, resulting from a temper which refused compromise and bargains, and went for a clean victory, ora clean defeat, in every case. Hence every step he took was a contest, and it may be added, every contest was a victory, I nave already said that lie was elected a Major General in Tennessee—an election on which eo much af terwards depended —by one vote. His appointment in the United States regular army was aconquest from tbe Administration, which had twice refused to appoint him a Brigadier, and at • nee disbanded him asa volunteer Gen., and yielded to his military vie lories. Ilis election as President was a victory over politi cians— as was every leading event of his administrate n. The Tomb of Milton. Two minutes scarcely elapsed after I rang the secton's bell at St. Gile's Church, Cripplegaie, before that personage m-hered me urbanely info the aisle. The roof of the building is modern, but the dart carvings on the pulpit and choir indicate an age of two centuries. 1 stood at the altar were > romwell and Ben. Johnson were married * marked the pavement beneath my feet where Fox, the author of the " Book of Martyrs," is buried , and read the inscription on the Lucy vault—a family satyr i zed in the character of Shallow, and which incarnates for everlasting ridicule the sapient justice who would have proved Shnkspeare a deer stealer. 1 examined the quaint old tomb of the historian Speede ; and, from a window, looked upor a fragment of the Reman wall —Ihe greatest antiquity of London, hard by the venerable Ct ijplegate Over against a pew a familiar bust marks the spot beneath which are tbe mortal remains of Milton; and its epitaph is grand in its simplicity—"The author of Paradise lost."— He and his father before him were intendants of the church. How sublime to the imagina tion is this otherwise not remarkable temple where that bei.utiful head w s bowed in prayer! 1 recalled his image as it lay in youthful beauty, one summsr afternoon, on the green sward, under the classic trees of the cohere lawn, when a fair lady hung entranced above the sleeper, and left a scroll in his nerveless hand. 1 saw him in his prime conversing with Galileo, and looking forth, with alia poet's r ipture upon Val D'Arno from the wooded summit ot Fiesole. I beheld him when time had silvered his flowing hair, with sightless orbs uplifted, as his fingers ran over the organ keys, and the calm devotion softened the lines of cure and grief in Lhat majestic counte- Tbe picture he bequeathed of K.den, fragrant and dewy as cr ation's morning, the forlorn glory of ."-atari and the solemn cadence of the verse that embalmed, ¡n perpetual music, the story of "man's first disobedience," became vividly back upon my heart beside his tepid chre, Stern Cromwell's rugged visage grev mild as his marriage response woke again from the ei'ence of yeais. and blithfly sounded the footsteps of rare old Ben., as he walked again, with his beloved, in my vision, up that solitary nave.

Validity of School Laud Warrants. Col. Gift, Register of the Land Office, at Benicia. has written a letter, says the Stockton Journal, to Mr. Sherin, of that city in re atiun to the validity of School Land Warrants, when they conflict with a regular pre-emption claim. Bv reference to tlie declaration, it will be seen that the warrant must yield when a pro-emp tor locates his claim. Wc give the letter : Register's Office, ) Benicia, Jan. 25th 1854. j Thos. Sufrís, Sir— 1 am in the receipt of your letter Jan 21st, in regard to the warrants The laws have been all published, in relation to the claims of men holding lands, by virtue of school warrants; and it is plain that no man can hold land, and deprive men from pie empting government lands. Special instructions have been received at this > fliee, saying lhat the warrant cannot b". located until the lands have been surveyed, and such surveys returned to this ofEce. If they do eject the pre-emptor by law, it will only be a temporary thing, for 1 will get copies of the pro ceedings and send them to Washin »t' n imme diately, in a few days the opinion of tlie Attorney General will be published, in relation to the location of these warrants, which will satisfy all men holding under the School Land Law in relation to their claims. IVe-emptors will save and bold their chums if they only comply with the law in regard to pre emption. Yours, VV VV.Sift, Register Land Ofiice. Homestead Biil. The Homestead Bill recently reported in Congress, provides that any person who is at the head ofa family, and a citizen of the United States, shall be entitled to enter free of cost, one quarter section of va cant and unappropriated public lands, or a quantity equal thereto, to be located in a body in con?, rmity with the legal subdivisions of the public Jands, and after the same shall have beep surveyed, Five years' residence is required upon said land after the dale of entry, before a patent shall issue therefore, and the land is to be exempt from all liability for any debt contrücted prior to the issuing of the patent. Residents of any state or territory not naturalized, are to be placed upon the same footing as citizens, provided they have filed their declaration of intention, and shail be o me citizens before the issuance of the patent. No individual is to be permitted to make more than ono entry, and exístiug pre-emption J rights are to be in no way interfered with. The History of One (Hat.a ot Wtne. We find id Harper's Magazine an interesting history of the birth, parentage, and tise to power of tlie present limperor of France. Included in that article, we also find the history of "one glass of wine," as follows : "But there is another party who repudiate theclaims ot /íourbon, arid espouse the cause of the Orleans branch of the family. The Duke t f Orleans, the eldest son of King Louis I'hil- lippe, was th. inheritor of whatever right hia royal father could transmit. He was a noble young man-physically and intellectually r.oble. His generous qualities had rendered him universally popular. One morning he invited a few companions to breakfast with him, ns ho was about to take hia departure from Paris to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour he drank a little too much wine, lie did not become intoxicated. He was not in any respect a dissipated man. His character waa lofty and noble. But in that joyous hour, he drank a glass too much. He slightly lost the balance of his body, and his mind. Bidding adieu to his companions, he entered his carriage. But for tbat extra glass of wine, ho would have kept his seat. He leaped from tho carriage. But for that extra glass he would have alighted on his feet. His head first struck the pavement. Senseless and bleeding, he was taken into a beer shop ai d died. That extra glass of wine ovetthew^tho Orleans dynasty, confiscated their property of one hundred millions of dollars, and sent the whole familv into exile." California Land Claims. A letter from New York contains the following interesting paragraph : '• It may be considered certain that at least two of your great land eases —the Cruz Cervantes and the Kaadiog— will be taken up by tho ¡Supreme Court, and acted upon during the present term. attorney General Cushing is exerting his influence with the Judges to take them up in place of some other United .States causes that are earlier em the calendar ; but tho Judges insist on hearing every law or ordinance that has reference to or bearing upon California land claims, and which can be found in the city of Mexico, before proceeding to hear the causes in question. It is pr b.-ible that Mr. Jos. Wilson, the brother of the Com- mi.-sionner of the General Land Office, will be immediately despatched to ./Mexico to procure the required documents; und it is expected that he wilt be able to r:turn in time for the argument during the ] resent tei m. This is a matter of great importance to you. if, a- s understood here, the decision of these two eases will constitute the basin of settlement ior the greater part of yourdisputed land claims. A/oiie Troth than Pof.trv. A gentleman writing from San Francisco to the Missouri Republican, speaking of those who should, and those who should not come to California, makes the following remarks, which contain, to our mind, more real truth than is usually contained in the productions of letter writers. We have «een this matter illustrated : There is another class of young men that often come to California, who, though of no particular account at hi me or abroad, mighfas well come on. I mean the wild and dissipated sons of rich lathers and hopeful mother», sent here for reformation. There is a wide field for this kind of genius, a sphere wide enough and deep enough for the discipline of every had habit, and for tho use of every spare dollar.— Thers are plenty of sharp, free and easy gents for instructors to the uninitiated, and numerous schools for exercise. They cm be brought to a miserable end faster, quicker and more certainly here than in any other country under heaven. Sinope, the Coast of BoN'its, in Asia Minor, The following notice of Sinope, where the recent battle was fought between the Turks un*' Russians, will, at the present moment, be read with interest: "The temples, palaces, and porticos, erected hy a powerful line of kings, have been levelled with the dust. Nought remains of so much magnificence save a dirty, oriental town of a ' ousand wretched houses, surrounded by crumbling walls and tottering towers, of Byzantine construction. Almost equally a wreck is the enormous bull ofthe embryo two decker, which stands unhiunehed on the steicks : built here where timber and work are cheap ; never finished j allowed to rot. Alas for Sinope." Congrkssional—1'ay of thk Army Offi- e:i:its on thk FíigKtier. From U. S.

MEJiCO.
Ya se hiibia recibido en Méjico la noticia de
que la expedición filibustera t*e apoderó de la
Paz, y proclamó ia independencia de la Baja
California, en los término,-* que y* hemos comunicado a nuestros lectores, FI general Santa
Ana ten i ¡i conocimiento ojtaeto de cuanto pasa
baen California, é biso oportunas reclamaciones al gobierno de loe listados Unidos para que
impidiese que sus oíudadünos perpetrasen el
premeditado crimen. Las órdenes que de Washington se dieron a las autoridades de San
Francisco con este objeto fueron desatendidas,
y el atentado se consumó a despecho del tratado
do amistad celebrado entre ambos países y do
los principios del derecho de gentes
Tanto Méjico como los listados Unidos han
sido ofendidos por aquellos aventureros, yambos
deberían unirse para castigarlos y poner término al espíritu de agrecion creciente que te
desarrolla en este continente. Cuando la independencia y la paz internacional nose con-ñde
ran seguras, aun observando una conducta leal
y circunspeta, cual conviene a naciones cifili
zadas y cristianas, ¿cou que confianza se recibi
ran las promesas amistosas de la República del
Norte, ni qué especie de fé puede tenerse en
*us tratados? Mejico, después del convenio de
Guadalupe Hidalgo, por medio del cual se pro
puso conseguir una paz duradera al precio de
los mas grandes sacrificios, ha visto constante
mente amenazadas sus fronteras por partidas
de aventureros organizadas en territorio americano y bajo el amparo de las leyes de e-te pais.
Una vez y otra ve/ ha rechazado fuerzas inva
goras, y loa filibusteros volviao al territorio de
la Union, no para ser escarmentados por la
violación de las leyes del pais, sino para evitar
la persecución, rehacerse y volver á invadir la
república vecina" Carvajal y sus secuaces viven
tranquilos en las riberas do Rio Orando, a la
vista de los pueblos que han sido víctimas de sus
atentados criminales; y si no han repetido sus
ataques filibusteros en el territorio mejicano,
es porque temen la actitud armada en que se
mantiene aquella frontera, coa gran sacrificio
del gobierno dc aquel país.
Tor ht parte de Nuevo Méjico no ha sido
menor el peligro en que se ha visto constantemente la integridad de aquella República, Si
el exgobernador Lane no hubiera encontrado
fuerzas dispuestas a rechazar su invacion. el
vallo de la Mesilla estaría hoy de hecho incorporado al territorio angloamericano, y tal vez
los dos paises citarían a estas horas empeñados
en una nueva guerra desastrosa.
Pero no era posible que Mejico mantuviese
un ejército en todas sus fronteras. Despedazado
por U guerra civil; desrnenbrado de sus mas
ricas posesiones; amenazado por la guerra
constante do los salvajes; empeña fo en fin en
Ja obra de la reorganización nacional para res
tablecer su crédito exterior y el orden en el interior, sus recursos no han sido suficientes para
tanto. La Baja California, que es un territorio
comparativamente despoblado y separado de los
demás Estados por grandes desiertos estaba
por consiguiente sin defensa, y de esta ci'-cuns-
tancia se bao valido los filibusteros angloamericanos para atacar por aquell-a parte a la República vecina, sin respeto a las leyes ni a los
compromisos so'euines de su gobierno.
La primera intentona ha debido ser, por
consiguiente, favorable a los aventureros, y
aunque sea dilicíl atacarlos por la dí--tancia a
que se encuontran del centro y de los recursos
del gobierno, serán en fin castigado* por las
autorblades del país cuyo territorio han violado
ya que no hay qua esperar quo lo sean por las
que obran en nombre del gobierno del pais
agresor. Tal es por lo menos la resolucío del
general Santa Ana, como se deduce del artículo
de fondo publicado sobre este asuntoen el periódico oficial el 10 de noviembre pasado. Para
conoeirnieuto de nuestros lectores lo insertamos
a continuación. Dice así:
.*'• Un suceso importante reclama boy toda la
atención de la república. -El puerto de la Paz
ha sído ocupado por fuerzas salidas del do San
Francisco de California, doblando el cabo de
San Lúeas, y apresando en la travesía al buque que conducía al Sr, coronel Don Climaco
Rebolledo, comandante militar nombrado para
la Baja California. Lo fue igualmente el Sr,
D. Rafael Espinosa en su propia casa, luego
que desembarcó la gerjtc que a bordo llevaron
los buques nombrados Carolina y Arroto. La
seguridad con que se presentaron para lo^'njr
su sorpresa, fue el pabellón nacional que lleva-
han al atravesar el pacifico, desde su marcha
do san Francisoo, y do.i le Gaicaparon sacando
todos los documentos debidos como conductores
be pasajeros para Guaymas.
•• Oportunamente, y desde que se proyectaba
tan criminal expedición, el supremo gobierno
lo supo y no perdonó medio ni perdió tiempo
par-i impedirla. Debia poner en conocimiento
de la Union Americana la existencia de esa
conspiración, y justificarla con datos que no de"
jaran la menor duda ; porque siempre ha esperado que esc gobierim fiel a los deberes que le
ente a las expresas reglas del último tratado
que debe ligar a ambaa naciones con los vínculos do la mas leal fraternidad, y con el amparo
de la mas sincera amistad, antes que todo im
pedirin una agresión que nada puede disculpar
como opuesta y contraria a todo derecho, hasta
cl terminante compromiso contraído el 2 de fe.
brerode 1848.
" Bien instruido el supremo magistrado de
la república de que algunos subditos dc los E,
tados UnidoaS proyectaban invadir el rico suelo
de Sonora; cierto deque se aprestaban los medios
positivos para una empresa decisiva; sabedor
aun de los nombres de los que como autores de
la intentona se hallaban al frente para dirijír
lo conveniente al logro de la inicua combinad
on; no ignorando, en Su, ni Jos medios, arbitri
os y elementos que se designaban y aprestaban'
lo puso todo en conocimiento de tas autoridades
de esa nación, que con tales datos no podia sin
una violación tremenda de todo derecho, descu1
dar, ni en un punto ni en tiempo alguno imre
dir el movimiento, un el estado en que estubie
ra, hr'ge que fuera convenientemente instruida.
El conato en ya eficaz, y merecía no solo ser
reprimido, sino muy severamente castigado eo
mo un positivo crimen, en cuya represión estaba interesado el nombre y prohibidad del ga
bínete americano.
" No bastaba esto ; era preciso y sobre toda
consideración instruir sin embozo a la respecti
va autoridad en San Francisco para que a su
vez tomara las providencias activas y conducen
tes a neutralizar esa convinacion, que apenas
realizada, seria un argumento de muy difícil
solución contra la lealtad y armonía que núes
tros vecin -.s tienen prometida a Méjico : y no
solo su felicidad era objeto dol supremo gobierno, sino también la misma nombradla de los
Estados Unidos. El supremo gobierno, pues,
muy Oportunamente pnvíó las instrucciones é
informes a su ministro en Washington y al de
este gabinete aquí, y a cuyos avisos se debe que
fuese detenida la goleta inglesa Arrow, uno de
los buques que formaban la vanguardia quizá
de la expedición sobre Sonora, y el apresamien
todo armas y municiones.
" Los tribunales se ocupaban en resolverlo
justo acerca de la suerte dc esta embarcación
de estos útiles de guorrr.i. ya que por desgracia
no pudo estoi baree toda la expedición.
1; Está consumado un crimen, que ambas na
eiones deben castigar, para que ni siquiera se
tenga la sospecha de abrigar un pensamiento
tie injuria contra Méjico, y para conservar in-
cóume el deposito sagrado de nuestra naciona
lidad, por el cual ningún (-echo mejicano habrá que no sienta latir con fuerza el ardor de
la mas santa dc las venganzas. El supremo go
bernador nada descuida para llenar en esta par
to tan importantes deberes ; pero todos y cada
uno de los nacionales y de cuantos tomen parte
por la causa de la justicia, cumplirán por su
parto con pagar el tributo de sus nobles sacri
ficios."
La prensado Nueva Orleans, refiriéndose a
noticias que dice haber recibido de Méjico has
ta el 23 de noviembre, anuncia que el general
Santa Anna ha sido proclamado .Dictador por
diez años por iodos los departamentos, con es
oepcionde uno que opinó por la Dictadura vita
lieja. En los periódicos de Méjico que hemos
recibido,aunque no de fecha tan reciente.solo en
contramos un párrafo que publica el Universal,
bajo el t=\tulo de "Noticia interesante," que di
ce asi :
" Ayer ha corrido en esta capital la voz de
haberse recibido de Guanajuato un despacho te
legrafioo, eu el que se noticia que las autoridades y vecinos de Guadalajara y otros puntos
han declarado que es voluntad nacional el que
el .Exorno. Si-, presidente de la República, general de division y benemérito de la patria don
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, continúe con
las facultados extraordinarias de que hoy se
encuentra investido por todo el tiempo que en
concepto de S. E. fuere necesario para consolidar el orden público, difiriéndose en consecuen
cia la convocatoria del Congreso, según lo previno el plan de Jalisco, reformado por los conve
nios del 9 de febrero. Dicese asimismo que en
la exposición de Guadalajara se atiende a la
manera de asegurar el poder público, en el caso de un desgraciado evento en la persona del
supremo magistrado de la nación ; y por último, se pide que se haga efectivo el decreto que
creó una capitanía general en el ejército, cuyo
alto empleo servirá el mismo Sr. Santa Anna."
Se dice también de Nueva Orleans, que la
dictadura no era mas que el paso previo para
el Imperio; y que a consecuencia de la invasion filibustera, el general Santa Anna se procla
maria Emperador el 12 de diciembre. Tantas
veces sa ha anunciado este acontecimiento en
los periódicos de Nueva Orleans, que no cree,
moa necesario detenernos a discurrir sobre el
asunto.
El gobierno habia aprobado el proyecto presentado por el cuerpo de ingenieros para la
construcion de un panteón nacional, cuartel de
inválidos, reforma del edificio conocido coa el
nombre de Ciudadela, establecimiento do un
colegio militar,almacén de pólvora, laboratorio
de mixtos, calzada desdo el Salto de la Agua
basta encontrar el Paseo de Buoareli, destrucci
on de los arcos de Belén desde la garita de este
nombre a la caja del agua, y sustitución del
acueducto con encañadas ; construcción de tres
cuarteles, uno de caballería y dos para infantería, y un campo militar de maniobras.
Los trabaj os deben princi piar el 1 ° de enero
con el 1 por 100 al mes que se descontará de]
sueldo de todos los empleados públicos, de cu
narán exclusivamente al complemento de estas
obras.
Parece que habla empesado a organizarse la
Orden de Guadalupe, de cuyo restablecimiento
hemos hablado hace poco En el " Siglo diez y
nueve" encontramos sobre el particular lo siguiente :
l! Segun ee dice, el Sr. general don Ni«olás
Bravo ha sido ci primer nombrado gran cruz, y
por consiguiente será cl vicepresidente y canciller de la orden ; la gran cruz se ha .concedido
ai Sr. arzobispo de Mejico, D. Lázaro de la
Gai*i:a, al Sr. obispo de uiichoacan, D.Clemente
Mangula, al Sr- aban do la Colegiata de Guadalupe, al Sr, D Agust'n de Iturbide, hijo ma
yor del Libertador, al Sr. general D. Manuel
Lombardinj, a losdosS.S generales Cervantes
Se dice que los generales de division, algunos
di los gobernadores y fia obispos comendadores
y caballeros los generales de brigada. los dea
nes de los cabildos, y los miembros del consejo
de Estado. Aun no se habla de quienes serán
pensionados.
El mismo periódico habla de rumores que
indican que el gobierno trataba de fundar una
nuevtt condecoración, semejante en su objeto y
orginiziicton a la de la Legación de Honor de
Francia.
En Zacatecas buho un encuentro entre las
tropas del g..bienio y una parlida de salvajes,
que dio por resultado la muerte de 13 de los
últimos, con el rescato del botin y prisioneros
que se habian llevado, y 4 muertos, 6 heridos
graves y 7 ligeramente por parte del gobierno.
En los demás puntos de aquellas desoladas Iron
t' ras Sontiriuaban haciendo estragos impunemente. El gobierno se ocupaba activamente
en contener este mal, y pnrece que se inclinaba
a restablecer las antiguas misiones, que tan
buenos frutos dieron en tiempo del gobierno

Id seem topreelede the necessity oí any fur-
tlier inert on our part to draw attention thereto; but in
view ofthe transitory nature of business generally in California, and the probability that some may havcloi ked upon
our establishment of an extensive and permanent manulac-
tore of Plows here, in the face of such enormous importa-
tiousnnd extravagant pi ices of matciial, as au Impossibility
—we believe it expedient to adopt this method of bringing
it within the especial notice of all concerned, that we are
now manufacturing, and will have ready for tliis season's demand, three thousand of the most superior plows ever made
or used in this State
Wc feel warranted in making (his asserti"ii, from the fact
that, all who used our plows iast season lustily tbat they
were superior; and we have studied so closely the immediate
wants ot our patrons from every section ol toe Stale that we
can uowfuruish Plows suited to any particular kiiid of soil
known in the State.
Our material lias all been selectfd in the ¿East by one of
