The News fICm Mexico,

The New-Orleans Picayune has full accounts from
Mex co, IN file of Vera Cruz plpets to October %,
received from the squadron We annex some of the
items.
In the first place we may say in general terms that
in no paper which we have opened do we find any to-
ken OF submission the par; of the Mexicans in their
conflict with this country. Every paragraph beathes
threats OF vengeance Their losses enumerated in
detail to tOlnl thereupon more urgent appeals to the
patriotism OF their citizens to give up every thing for
the support of the war.
Santa Anna reached San Luis Potosi on the 9Th of
October.
While Santa Anna was on his way to San Luis he
wrote back from Queretlro, on the Of October, as
follows "The dslstre which we encountered at Mont
Grey Is not 50 great as at first thought Our troops
have left for Saltllo and have already occupied the
principle points of the Sierra So far from the troops
having become demoralzed | am assured that great
enthusiasm prevails among them. Their success has
cost the enemy according 10 incohtestlbe evidence,
more than fifteen hundred men. Ourartery was we'll
managed and it is said that the enemy believed it was
served by French officers.
81 am about to unfold all my character with the
energy which is habtual to me, and the Americans
will very soon succumb or | shall cease to exist"
We now for the first time learn what fruits the Mex
leans derived from the SEIZURE of our mails near Marin
intended for General Taylor at Monterey. Among the
multitude of papers forwarded by Ampudia to Santa
Annd duu lue government, we ma lctter from our
Secretary of War; Mr. Marcy, to Gen. Taylor reveal
ing the design upon Tampco & San Luis Potosi The
letter is dated at Washington, Sept2 The letter pur-
sues It's inquiries in The most respectful TERMS defer
ring it to the better judgment of Gen. Taylo but it
dscoses our plans, the number Of troops intended to
be used against Tampco and some other general par
ticulars. The letter of Gen. Ampudia covering Mr..
Marcy's DESPATCH contains a singular paragraph if in
our haste, we rightly apprehend 1t is to the following
effect Every moment which passes confirms my idea
Of the immense advantages have gained from fight
ing four consecutive days at Monterey, since now the
enemy entertain great respect for the Mexican soldier,
md American blood flowed with such prolusion, that
from The Generals Of The enemy the suggestion ofan
nnStjcc Of eight tCeekS, which disarns as it were,
great part Of his regular troops"
Before two months armstce expires, the Mexicans
count confidently that Santa Anna will have an army
round him which will prevent any further advance II
Gen. Taylor.
The Mexlcans appears to be perfectly apprized of
the state of things in Matamoros. Their accounts of
the sickness which prevails there quite minute.
l The MeXcans have received intelligence that our
government about to send vessels Of larger class
against Vera Cruz. This led to an immediate call up
the troopS III the interior to move to the defence Of
the city and fortress.

Bakersfield ACademical Institution.

Mr. EDIToR:- has often been my privilege to
witness Fairs, Anniversaries and Exhibitions which
were entertaining; but never have | witnessed one
which afforded such qualification to the mind as the
annual examination of this institution, which took
place on Monday, Tuesday aud Wednesday of last
week.
The occasion was one of such interest as to secure
the attendance of hundreds of the friends and patrons
of the school, filing the large and spacious school
room to its extent and many reluctantly leaving for
want of room.
Of the character of the examination, would speak
but delicatey, knowing the inadequacy of my own
feeble language to do merit to the instructors and pu-
pills Suffice it to shy, however that it was deep,
thorough and complete; being conducted, rs thought
in most rigid manner Yet, every interrogation was
met by The pupils with promptitude, and answers
given directly ami correctly Principles which would
seem only adapted to Tie capacity of minds matu ed
by years of experience, and disciplined ty lengthy
course of continued application, considered by
these youthful nteIlects and discoursed to the audi
encc with ease; and the understanding which each had
of his respective study seemed nearly perfect
The compositions which graced and beautifed the
exercises, from the young ladies' done great credit tt
themselves; and the frequent trickling tear witnessed
while listening to them evinctd that they went to tie
heart IN anauner characteristic of femae eoquence.
The dialogue from Misses F. and w. was truly su
perior- illustrating, in forcibe manner, the extremes
If proper cultivated and vitated tastes, which wit
messed among the young at the present day. Th'
declarations, ALSO were displays of good taste in St
Letting and writing, and given in a worthy manner.
Since the organization of this institution it has beef
rncommonly prosperous and successful, owing, be
eve wholly to the superior ability gifts teachers AM
their willing sacrifice and untrjng efioIts to make tn
school what it should be. 1t is fast securing publ

To The Pope Of California;:
On my approach 10 this place with the forces under
my command, Jose Castro, the Conmandan General
OF California, bnred his artillery and abandoned his
fortified camp of the Mesa" and fled, it is believed,
towards Mexico.
With the Sailors the Marines and the California bat
talon of mounted rifemen entered the City of the
Angels, the capital of California on the 18th of Au-
gust, and hosted the North American flag
The flag of the United States is flying from ev-
cry commanding position in the territory, and Califor-
MIA is entirely free from Mexican dominion.
The territory of California now belongs to the Uni
ted States, and will be governed soon as circum-
stances may permit, by officers and laws similar to
those by which the other territories of the United States
are regulated aud protected,
But until the Governor, the Secretary and Council
are appointed and the various civil departments of the
govenmentare arranged, military law will prevail, and
the commander-p-chef will be the Governor and pro-
tcctor of the territory,
1t is required that all persons shall remain in their
houses from 10 at night until sunrise in the morning
during the time this territory is under military law.
