IN notice yesterday Of the arrival OF party from
California, compOsitors made material error As to
the time Of the arrival Of Col Cooks battalion Of Nor
mons.
They arrived San Diego the Goth Of January mot
the 9th The command was accompanied by Psymas-
ter Cloud Surgeon ssnderson and Lieuts Smith and
Trenor Of the United States Army. The route they
took though longer than that pursued By Gen kearney
was pleasant one.
Gen Kearney with his dragons and the battalion Of
Mornons left san Diego, about the 10Th OF Jsnu-
ary on board the ship Cyane for Monterey. At Monte
rev Gen Kearney and Commodore Shubuck (who had
superseded Commodore Stockton In the command)
had an interview and the report is that things 70
remain they until the will OF the President could
be made known.
Consequently. Colonel Fremont remains as Military
Commsndsnt of the territory. We have seen several
quotations and extracts from the orders given by the De-
psrnent Washington 10 these officers either OF which
disconnected and unopposed by other would be SUIT
fcient TO justify Gen. Keuney Of Com. Stockton. In as.

parment before know what each officer was set

leaders.
However as 1t IT, to some extent, quarrel in the
political iamiya the parties being adherents OF
the present dynastywe only hope that this affair
may lead 10 full exposition of all the influences pr.
and otherwise which have been brought to bear in
