BY the British steamer which arrived in Mo
bile Bay on Monday, on her return passage
from Vera Cruz, we received Ell .arco Iris, OF
that port to the 18th inst.
An Article from FL Monitor Republican,
copied into Ell Afco Iris Of the 10th inst,
states that according to the Alta California, a
paper publ shed in San Francisco, the munica-
pal authorities Of The principal owns in that
territory had presented to Gov. Smith and
Com. Jones, a memorial on the state Of affairs
under their provi sional Government invoking
the support and approval Of those officers res
pectiyely, in reference to the measures adopted
by them for the preservation of good order,
both in a political aud commercial point Of
view. Meanwhile the lie g~islatiye assembly Of
the district Of San Francisco prepared for the
con sideration of.the Governor and Commodore
a statement Of the means they have adopted
for the protection of life, liberty and property
solved that on the LIST of August next delegates
were to meet at Monterey to form a Constitu-
ton for California, preparatory to her adnis-
sion into the confederacy as a sovereign State.
A vessel from Canton, China, which she left
in the month of January last, arrived at San
Francisco on the 18th March She confirms
accounts previously received, in reference to
the present relations between England and
China, and states that great fear was enter
tanned that there would be a rupture between
the two nations during the present month,when
according to treaty, the English were TO be ais
lowed to enter Canton.
Com. Jones has ordered in the Alta Callfor-
mia a pardon to all deserters from the squad
ron who shall return to their duty.
In San Francisco a post Office has been es-
tablished; and it was expected that before
long, branches would be required al all other
points of that free, rich and fruitful county
by the authorities, who had already felt the
want Of them.
Ell Monitor states that by the papers at hand,
there were at the port Of San Francisco at the
latest dates about eighty vessels of every spe.
cies of rig, and the number was increasing
almost daily by fresh arrivals.
By the last steamer that arrived at San Bias
some more numbers Of the Alto California had
came to hand, reaching to the 9th of April.
The California Of the Goth of March, says
the Republican,, we find the following;
This city (san Flaucisco) was in a state of
agitation curing the whole Of last week, in
consequence of reports that the troops were
preparing to coeree the people, and that Gen.
Smith had disapprosed the measures adopted
by the Legislative assembly of This district.
The latter body had removed the alealdes aud
the a~yuntam'ento, aud appointed Justices Of
the peace and police magistrates in their stead
This had caused alterations between those
who wentout Of office and those by whom they
were succeeded.
The complicated state in which all the
branches of public government are now plac.
ed is attributed by the Alta California to the
ill-adyised measures Of Col. Mason of Califor'
MIA.
That paper says, &.
