ANOTER PROCLAMATION.
On June 9Th Gen. Riley issued an
other proclamation to the people of the
district of San Francisco, from which
we extract the two chief paragraphs:

me, that body of men styling them
selves "the Legislative Assembly of the
District of San Francisco" has usur-

warned not to countenance said illegal
and unauthorized body, either by pay.
ing taxes or by supporting or abetting
their officers.
And, ,chereaS, due proof has been re-

and there forcibly take and carry away
the Public Records of said District

said first Alcade: NOw, therefore, all cit,
liens are called upon TO assist in resio,

authorities of the land.

larly subordinate TO the Alcade and
says that the Alcade being the regular
agent of the law. must be sustained
notwithstanding feelings of dislike for
the individual holding the office. At
the same time he, as Executive, will al
