A number Of documents have been handed
to us, relating to the atrocious treatment of
foreigners in California last spring. They
contain in substance, the same statements
certified to on oath by a large number of
witnesses, which we published in No. 9
Of our journal. They were addressed to
Capt. Forrest of the T. S. ship st. Louis,
and by him forwarded to his government
which no doubt will act promptly and ci-
!cctually in the case. The following are the
principal causes Of complaint on the part Of
the American citizens.
That transient vessels arc not full au-
thorizcd to redress our wrongs.
That our persons and property are at all
times unsafe.
That we are at all times obliged to submit
to any imposition put upon Us by the al-
'hortics, having no one TO represent or sus-
tain us.
That American citizens when arrested
are allowed no judicial trial aud therefore
are obliged to suffer according to the whinls
Of the powers that be.
That many have been threatened, with be-
ing compelled to labor at public works, with,
out having violated the laws Of the country.
That property to IA large amount has bee.
taken from American vessels to satisfy ia,
demands Of party or the government. anC
no restitution as yet made.
