The Mexicans, on their side, pre- pariBg to 'raass shlndy" by declaring their Inde- pendence and erecting uew repabiic to he eailesi the Sierra Msdre Republic. This Is what was loHg ago predicted, and is, no doubt mote step to- wards the extension of the of freedom ia thal direction by another annexation. A correspondent of the \, 2. Pisayuns writes that

The Corpus Christi Star O the Both nit. says:
 'Capt Lewis reports the condition of the whole Rio Grande country depiorable in the extreme. From Brownsville to Laredo, with the exception of the towns of Rio Grande City and Roma, the whole country on this side of the river Is oeserted most of the inhabitants having taken refuge the Mexi- can side; and region which was a-short time since covered with large farms and ranches, and conn pafatively thickly populated, has become bowling wilderness

California and the Mexicans.

A correspondent of the New York Courier, wri- ting from San Jose, Lower California, on the 3Oth April, says:
 1.-The excitement ln Lower California, in relation 10 the mines, is scarcely less than ia tho States Over 1000 Mexicans have left Lower California for the mines, and in most of the towns the Gulf shore the men have nearly all deserted Horses and mules ail being driven to Upper California an- der the impression that .hey will bring from $310 to Sj00 in San FrnaeiSco. Most of the emigrants intend settling on the San Joaquim and the emf grafton from this section and the western States of MsSieo will far exceed that from the United States for tle ensuing year.
 "Those emigraling frcm Durango and Chihua- hua, arc mostly settling on the Gila river, and inc Americans who desire mining on the Gila arc d,s- suaied by the disparity of their numbers and the fear of the Mexicans l5,000 stand of English muskes have been sent to the mouth o( tbe Gia From Mazatlan, and the rumors that it is tho inten- ton of the Mexican Royernmeut to contest the &C., lion of our cummssio in relation to tho bouR- dary, and claim the whole of the rich mines on the Giia and it's tributaries. That such have been shipped to soAhe points on the Calf is certain. one of the vessels freighted with tie maskets ready for sailing."
 We have seen, says the N. Q. Courier. rumers and reports similar to the above in different guar ters, hut presume the object of the Mexcaus and of the Mexican government is only to prevent
 
 bodies of Americans establishing themselves lower California and on the Gia river, within Mexican territory, and not in any manner to interfere with our recently acquired possessions on the Pacific and in New Mexico and that such s the fact, is evi- dent from the suboined publication, which we find in the National inIeltigerGer of the 2fth uliiTO;

about 10000 acres OF land, and about $50 900

attempt to increase his territories, ia a manner
