TIE AEfAIR AT MONTERREY.

The Government at Washington is, before Ibis time,
in possession Of dispatches from Commodore Jones OF
The Pacific squadron, containing all The particulars con
ne ced wth the capture of the iowa ct fiun,efey,
in California. Lieut. Ha,tstern of the :. Navy,
bearer Of dispatches from the Commodore, saiied from
Monterey in the U. ship Yorktown on The 22d No
ycmber, and was la6ded at San Bias ON the 1th De-
ceinber From thence he proceeded across the coun.
iry 10 TIE city OF Mexico, thence 10 feru Cruz, and
thence to New Orleans, where he arrived on The 9Th
January.
II appears, that about The first of September last,
while the squadron, under the command Of Commodore
Iones, was living at Ca!lao arrivals from the United
States brought intelligence of The angry correspond
pnre between the Governments Of Mexico and the
limited States Amongst other items, the letter OF Bo
cauepra The Mexican Minister OF War, was received al
CalIea The American Consul and Commodore Jones,
Judging from the teno. OF this epste, concluded that
war had been declared between the two Governments,
and rumor prevailing, at the same time, that Mexico
had agreed TO surrender the CALIFORNIA; to the British,
for The purpose Of raising money TO prosecute (which
wns confirmed by the mysterious departure of the
British fleet Ca!!ao, the night after the reception OF
this intelligence caused Commodore Jones 10 weigh
anchor Immediately, and sail for Monterey.
Upon the arrival Of the squadron before Monterey,
on The l9lh of November, Commodore Jones caused
the feet anchor with spring cables. and sent Capt
Armstrong with message TO The commander OF the
fort, with perrmpiory order TO surrender upon the pc
naIty Of rdment, allowing him eighteen hours
the Mrxican Governor, Alvarado, anticipated the
pralon Of the time allowed, and sent o message 10
Commodore Jones, informing him that the fort was
surrendered TO HIM, together with all the property OF
the Mexican Government, and the command Of The
CaIifnrnas well. Nhereupnn detachment of
troops sent 10 take possession in the name Of the

capture of Monterey had hpen made under mistake,
he withdrew the American force from The FORT released
the property surrendered, ard the 26h The squadron
Withdrew from the coast.
As matter Of course, the capture of Monterey had
created the greatest excitement in Mexico. Lieut.

Mr. mERlWETtIER said that his proposition for

oarment Of The Government had such high cdmpen
sn,ion paid for similar grade of talen's the Navy

seventy five hundred per cent higher than was

IN the Of his remarks, he sad that reduction OF
twenty per cent would put them worse eff than they
were during that year, taking into consideration the
fac, that the act of 1885 made difference between
ma off duty and duty. In the aggregate the act OF
1885 did not increase the pay twenty per cent or any
