CALIFORNIA.

The following statements are from the Alla Cali-
fornian, dated San Frontier°, July 2, 1849. This
paper was forwarded by the American steam-packet
Oregon to Panama and thence to Europe.
IMPROVIRMINT 07 THII COUNTRY.—The new comers and
those abroad may see that the pursuit of gold is not the
only °munition of the inhabitant' of California. We have
prepared the following account of new cities which have
been laid out within the last few months. We (the editor
of the above paper) have compiled these notices from the
best knowledge in our possession, and we believe them in
the main reliable. We must confess that many of these en-
-1 terprisea bear more the character of mere speculations than
of bona fide desires to build up a town ; and we are inclined
to think that with some of them, such will certainly be the
result, la despite of the wishes of their proprietors. In many
instances it seems to have been forgotten, that so soon as
steamers are introduced on this bay and its tributaries, that
the whole character of transportation and trade will be re-
volutionised. Such, mat assuredly, will prove to be the
fact, and its consequences cannot fail to be disastrous to
some of the towns which have sprung up in such close con-
tiguity.
Naw C77l3ll.—Tremont, a town laid out by Jonas Spelt,
Esq., on the west bank of the Sacramento River, opposite
the mouth of the Feather River. It is said that this point
is the limit of navigation on the Sacramento River for
vessels of ordinary size, as just above the bars are frequent
and large—this, then, being the head of navigation, there
must eventually grow up a large town in that vicinity.
Vernon, situated on the east bank of Feather River, at
its confluence with the Sacramento. Proprietor', Franklin.
Bates, Crosby, Norris, and Beset Simmons. It is directly
opposite Tremont, and it is a moot point which is the most
eligible position ; both places likely to become valuable
property.
Boston is laid out on high ground on the north bank of
Rio American, a few miles above its confluence with the
Sacramento. Claims not so likely to be overflowed by high
spring of Midsummer freshets, a great consideration in a
country whose infectious 'mimeo i is occasioned by these
annual overflows. Very few inhabitants in the above towns
as yet. Hove I sen surveyed, laid out, and put into the
market, within last four months. The two first are about
36 miles and the last 4 miles northward of _ _

Sacramento City.—This city is laid out on the site of, and
embraces the celebrated Setter's Fort. Those who saw it,
'as we did, hes than one year ago, when the fort and its
outbuildings constituted the whole inhabited tenements,
will now be surprised to learn that it has Pudaetly become a
flourishing city of some 2,000 inhabitants. Original price
of embircadero,- or river lots, 600 dole. ; now they com-
mand thousands. The only town besides San Francisco
which bouts a printing press, Idverything seems to indi-
cate that this place has Ter-rived en impetus which other
totalities will find it difficult, if not impossible, to retard.
