From California.

The Journal Of Commerce has adyices from
Monterey, stating that commodore Shubrck of
the squadron has determined on the ca pture of San
Bias, Acapulco and fehuantepec in addition TO
GuamaS Mazatlan. whose capture has been alrea-
dy announced. When this shall have been ac-
coulPllshed, Mexico will not have possession Of a
single port worthy of name either ocean. 4
correspondent writing from Monterey, Oct. 10,
says:
The advance party Of tho emigrant column for
this season, is already in California. We have
ceased counting their wagons,-and as for the
emigrants, you might as well attempt TO number
the trees which wave over them. These emf
grants would have settled tho fate of California
without any declaration of war with Mexico
They might perhaps have had little fighting
here between themselves and the natives but
their triumph was sure, not only in their courage
and skill, but IN their Ov empowering numbers.
Monterey has still MIR. Cotton of the Navy, as
Aicalde. He tried hard 20 get off when his year
was up, but the people demonstrated, and address
sed communications to Com. SHubtick and Gov.
Mason, and SO he consented to remain for the pre-
sent. The citizens nave offered 10 send for his
family, but he has decided TO return homo in the
Congress when she goes. His popularity lies in
his energy, impartial administration Of Justice
and the extensive Improvements he IS efIcciing m
the city. Among these is u largo stone ediGce,
designed for public schools. 1t is a superb build
ing the citizens call it Cotton Hall. w. K. q.
