An intelligent officer writes the 18th March, from
Monterey in California, that Col Mason of the LIST dra-
goons arrived at San Francisco the 18th February and
Col Stevenson the 5th March, with three companies
of his regiment from New York. The heavy ordnance
and stores brought up by the regiment would be landed
at San Francisco The writer expresses the confident opn
ion that il California should be restored Mexico she
could not possibly hold ii for three months that the peo
pie in the territory well the emigants, would re.
sst the Mexican authority, and would then fall into dis
sessions quarels, and fighting among themselves till hu
mainly would compel our to interfere for their
relief The Caornians quiet at the time he wrote
and the Americans would endeavor to keep them by
mild and gentle treatment
He describes the climate very healthy the soil rich
and much unsettled land. Atpresent, the population is
small-probably not exceeding $4,000; OF which about
onefth emigrants In addition TO these, there may
be about 5000 Indians nearly onethrd of whom
called Christian Indians who speak the Spanish Ian
guage and perform the Office of laborers. The rest

Der of party has been firm and consistent than
this gentleman. When first candidate, he boldly avow
ed his doctrines, and with equal rmness carried them out
when elected. He wasted of the public time, and
consumed of the public money in idle and useless
haransues but spoke only when the occasion required
and then in able and parliamentary tone He chose
the path of the true statesman and the polluted way
of the clustering gladiator Such conduct cannot fail
under all circumstances, to command the admiration OF
friends and consran the respect of foes Such man
now before the people again and their united action
will again place him upon the floor OF Congress"
