English Cabinet will reconcile itself to the taking
of California, since Lord Palmerson has not

What does say, however, is Hinged with friend
" spirit towards the United States; and il express

The Constitutional publishes letter from
Washington. in which il says that the most
friendly feeling continues 10 be manifested
throughout The United States towards Great Bril-
tain. The writer thinks that the cordial alliance
now existing between The TWO countries is likely
10 be Of long duration
The Journal DIES Debals, on the authority Of
private letter, repTesc hts the annexation Of Cali
| iornia in different manner TO that stated BY Inc
| English newspapers. The occupation OF The ter
rilory, it says, first took place by Captain Ere
/ mont, al the head of eighty men, who entered II
from Oregon. He put himself in connection with
a wealthy American colonist, and through him
with the United States vessel, the Portsmouth,
from which he received arms and munitions. de
then started into the interior Of the country, pro,
claiming the annexation 10 the United States, and
was SO engaged when Commodore Soat arrived,
and issued his proclamation.
