fourth volume on the 7lh instant, the first

CALiroRNIA.--A good deal is being said
in the newspapers about the acquisition
of California, by purchase of the claim Of
Mexico to thOtierrltory. Some interesting
extracts in relation to the country will be
found on our first page. The present in
habitants, ii is said, would prefer a union
with this government to the unstable pro-
lection of Mexico, which they now feel
only by its despotic exactions, We do not
doubt the statement that Santa Anna, at
the time of his overthrow, was engaged
in negotiations with the British government
for the transfer Of this country. 1t is not
within the remotest bounds Of probability
that the Mexicans will ever settle and i'm.
