some singular proceedings at Moniery on
the reception of dispatches from the Mex

of the intended annexation Of Texas to
the United States, and the probability Of
war, that he should place Montery and
the other ports of California in d state of
defence. This Governor, Don Manuel

taking of Montory, year or two ago, by
Com. Jones, wished that he was IA 'hun-

can, called meeting of his officers i'm
medlatey upon the reception OF the des-
patches. The meeting came TO the con-
clusinn that, instead of protecting the
place. it would be better for him to aban.
don Monery and surrender it to the first
enemy's flag that should appear on ac-
count of the want Of guns and ammuni-

wagons to be transported, and thus the
capitol Of the country was abandoned be-
fore there was any certainty OF war. A

TO THE OTTAWA TuEE TRADER.


The undersigned feel u pleasure in saying to
the public few words on the subject of animal
magnetism. We have attended "a course of lee
lures on this subject by DR.. > UNDERuILL, Of
Cleveland, Ohio, Gate Of ST. Louise with the eX-
press condition that unless he proved, by expert
mcnt on citizens, the utility OF the science,
we saou',t Tay nothing. Although we saw some
striking facts, sucV rlgldlty Of muscles, and to-

unwilling to suffer further experiments, on &C

with. Hence the DR.. had To make new cases.
We soon ioCnd that toe greatest difficulty with
which he had to contend, was the want OF s'ilI-
ness in the audience, and the want of willingness
to be put into the magnetic state in the subject.
But over all these difficulties the Dr. gradually
