who, a week since, thought or spoke of nothing
that was not connected with California, are
gradually settling down to their usual occupations
Emigration to the gold region from the United
States, as far as we ascertain from various
sources within our REACH has been as yet exceed
;ngy small In fact, the number now on their way
amounts to nothng but if the preparations on foot
are fully carried out anticipated, and the per-
sons who have resolved TO seek their fortunes
there make good their resolutions, the list OF gold

symptoms oisvacillauon with many, a want OF de-
csion OF purpose clearly perceptible and they are
acting under feelings swayed between hope aud
fear The probability is, that not more than athlrd
of those who have entered upon arrangements to
proceed will farther than they have already
gone The disadvantages In both sea aud land
,outes are so great that but few will hazard
their lives aud little possessions, for that which
as vet an uncertainty. The number OF vessels up
fer the Pacific, at this port, has not been enlarged
since Yesterday; at Boston, Philadelphia, and Bati-
more. we do not hear of any additional movements

oaoement with gentleman who has crossed the
Isthmus several times, 10 proceed by express to
Panama. It is his intention to make all possible
arrangements at Panama for the despatch of pas
sepgers to San Franc SEQ, and, by arrangements
along the road to facilitate the transit of the 18TH
