intended TO harrass the invading army on
its march, acting under the direction OF
officers of note, directing al their efforts
to annoy the enemy, so that he may be
beaten afterwards by the regular army, at
the points designated by Santa Anna, who,
to strengthen himself, has ordered the
construction Of good Qualifications.
The Mexican report is that Gen. Tay-
Ior's army consists of or 5000 troops of
the line and $4,000 volunteers, with 1000
wagons, whom the Mexicans represent as
preparing to leave Monterey for San Luis
Potosi on the DIST of November. Ii was
supposed that he would be about 30 days
in traversing this extent of country.

1t is rumored that Santa Anna has re.
nounced his adherence to Federalism, and
has avowed himself a CentraIist. IL is
rumored, too, that this course has stirred
up an excited opposition TO hun; that San
Louis PolosI has declared against him, and
that he has gone 10 Mexico with 1000
men 10 control Congress, while the insur-
recuonist are on his rear in pursuit. The
better opinion, however, seems TO be that

the MeXicans as to enable them 10 make n

hard fight is next expected.

FROM CALIFORNIA We have received
a file OF "Fhe Californian" a newspaper

lish, but with Spanish interming'ed. A
curious letter sheet is this Californian.

The publishers are hard up for "sorts," no
type founders beng near at hand bat they
issue very useful sheet, which upholds
with vigor American rule in California,
denouncing any further allegiance to or
connection with Mexico.
The latest number before US is Septem-
Der 10Th. From it we learn that Com.
Stockton returned to Monterey in the Con-
gress on the 18th September, where he
was warmly greeted. With his force he
took possession OF Los Angeles without
resistance, Gen. Castro, although superior
in numbers, retreatlng into Sonora.
Thh U. S. lrigate Savannah, under
Capt. Mervipe, was to sail from Monterey
on the 2Oth of September, with sealed
orders. No clue is given as 10 her dest'na-
zion. The U. S. store ship Erie was al
so about to sail, but her destination is not
mentioned.

residence in Monterey, and been kindly

RuMoR FROM MExICo.-The Picayune
of the 18th gives the news from Mexico
of the 29lh ult. There is little of impor-
lance in it: But the item most exciting to
the MeXicans was shat on the date above
an express had arrived at Mexico with the
news that whole brigade of the Ameri-
can army, with baggage ordinance &c,
amounting TO 1000 men, had revolted
from General Taylor, and were marching
10 join the Mexican army! The poor fel-
lows have evidently reading Mr.. Webster's
speech and have persuaded themselves
from that that half our nation would pre-
fer to fight on the Mex lean side.

conplished officer, Capt Benz. Huger, are
busily engaged in preparing howi'zer bat

IIuger with lieutenant Charles p. Stone,
lieutenant Hagner from Washington and
another officer whose name we have not
learned. They are expected 10 be in
readiness 10 leave Fort Monroe about the
LIST of January, direct for Tampico. The
inference Qor we know nothing certain
as to their ultimate destination is that they
will join the army under General Scott at
Tampico, and pr cceed with it 10 Vera

The Washington papers make no allu-
sion to the reported issue Of the confer
ence between Com. Stewart and the Cab
met, touching the contemplated attack up
on San Juan de Uua. Ii is probable that
the material necessary for SO hazardous an
expedition is not in state OF readiness
10 admit of the disclosure of the objects
of the formidable preparations going for
ward in our navy yards. There is every
reason TO believe that Com. Stewart will
very shortly take the command Of the
squadron, and there is none TO doubt that
his appearance in the Gulf will be follow
ed by operations of a startling nature.
1t is about time to hear from Com. Per-
ry's expedition against some uakuorH point.

BY the arrival this morning of the steam

anchors The U. S. steamers DeRossett
and j. r. Thompson were despatched TO
her assistance, and but barely succeeded
in saving some fifty lives before she went
down. The pilot boat Ariel was lost the
same day, a large sea splitting open her
wood ends. Cargo and crew saved.
