LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.

The following extract is copied from the New
Orleans Pcayune of Wednesday of last week
Carnival OF CAPTAIN Fremont AT MosTEREr.-We
had the pleasure Of conversng yesterday with intelligent
gentleman who arrived Monday direct from Cali
fomia He left there the 18th of February last by
Mazaan, and thence proceeded to the city Of Mexico
Leaving there again the Sd instant he reached New Or
leans in the barque Claremont from Vera Cruz
"The most important intelligence for which indebted
him relates Capt Fremont That gallant and advenur-
officer reached Captain Suffers settlement at New Hell
vea about the first of February last with force Of about
sixty mounted men, informed. Captain Fremont
had been fortunate discover pass by
which California can be reached by emgnts in sixty days
less time than by the old route via Oregon This route
perfectly practicable for wheeled vehicles and when it
to be generally known, will give renewed impetus to
emigration California. We have information to enable
point where strikes off from the Oregon TRAIL or to
explain its Captain Fremont le his party Capt
Suffers and proceeded himself Monterey visit We
have no information the period of his return, the route
he will pursue
"The made to us in regard to the state
California confirm former accounts Allegiance to the Cen
trail Government of Mexico is almost entirely thrown Off
Since the expulsion of Governor Mchetorcna, the functions
Of chief magistrate have been discharged by Don Pho Pco
Californian by BIRTH believe who holds his office by
indefinite but popular tenure The famous Mexican exped
ton to reduce the Department obedience has reached
California Our informant part Of the troops destined
for this operation he passed through Guadaaara about the

one he sent there, he would be almost Immediately expelled.
Still the Cafoninns distracted by dssensons among
themselves and stability under any rule any form of gov
eminent is not to be counted upon among them.
"Therc is strong tide Of emigration pouring in from the
States by way Of Oregon Some leave this country with
view in the settle there but there yet greater
fux Of disappointed emgrnts 10 Oregon who wander on
further south search Of better lands and happier skies"

y Nor can we see the wisdom Of his poll
cy in sending the army of the United States to the
Rio Grande. Did he fear that the Mexicans would
invade Texas, or that we could not at any time take
possession Of just as much of Texas as we pleased
to call by that name! The camp at Corpus Christi
was far beyond any American settlements, and
therefore far efficient point for their protec-
ton than further off, And if it expedient, for
some cause which we cannot divine, to send our
army to the Rio Grande, why order them to pitch
their tents directly opposite Matamoras, with their
cannon pointing into the town. Is there no other
position along that mighty river where our troops
could be accommodated whilst our rights were
maintained? This course looks very like deter
mnation to provoke a war with Mexico. But
whether this is the intention or not, most clearly
this is the tendency. Every army, great or small,
is always eager for war. If the American army on
the Rio Grande does not get up fight with the
Mexcans, in spite of all pacific instructions, it will
be little short of mirace.-Charlesfon Mercury.

In the report for this paper of the speech Of Mr..
AsHMUN, made few days ago, an error occurred
which requires formal correction. Mr.. A. is re-
ported as saying that Mr.. TYLER has written let
ter that the money expended by Mr.. WEBSTER
from the secret service fund) was not expended by
his direction. The error consists in the omission
of the word i" but" by the insertion of which the
sentence should read rightly as follows: "Mr. TY-
LER has written letter saying that no money was
expended from that fund) but by his direction"
The distance of our excellent Reporter from Mr..
AsHMuN's seat was the source Of this error
