The New York Tribune has sdvices
from San Francisco to August 18th, be-
ing sixteen days later than the news
brought by the steamer Panama. This
intelligence was received through Mexi.
co, and is Of consequence only as showing
that nothing of importance had occurred
in California since the date Of ourforme
advices. The Tribune says:
"The news from the mines il or quite
glowing character; the yield Of gold was
steady, and though there was. as a matter
of course, much disappointment among
individuals, the general result was highly
satisfactory. 1t is estimated that the
average product Of all the mines logeth.
er, thus far, since the beginning of the
season, has been $4,000, 900 per month,
and there was thought to be no doubt Of
IFS continuance at the same rate of abund-
ance. No change is quoted in the prices
either of gold or merchandise.
"The health Of the population, both at
the mines and elsewhere, is generally
good, and neither cholera nor any other
serious malady is reported as having
made its appearance.
"The jealous unfriendly feeling which
has so long been in existence between
the Americans and South Americans Of
Spanish origin has at last approached a
crisis. The Americans have determined
that the Mexicans and Chilians who are
at the mines shall no longer enjoy the
privilege Of digging out the riches of the
earth, and have taken deliberate meas.
ures accordingly. All companies oflhese
nations who have come organized to
work for the season, with the intention
ofreturning to spend the winter and wet
season at home, have been informed that
their presence will no longer be tolera.

leave the gold region and not return.
The order to evacuate allows fixed
time, sufficient 70: the retiring parties Ia
make all necessary preparations. The
Americans seem, from our information, to
have proceeded very calmly y about it, aud
up to the 18th no disturbances whatever
had taken place; they were waiting for
the expiration of the allotted period, after
which, should the rejected adventurers
refuse to leave, they would set about
making them. When that moment ar.
rives, there is in the nature Of the case

STATEMENT IN BEHALF OF NJ. PuussIN
The New York CourierofSa Saturday, in
announcing the presence in that city OF
M. Poussin, awaiting the orders of his
government. says:
"ln the matter which has given rise to
the rupture, we understand that he claims
to have simply followed the instructions
of his Government; while he frankly &C.
knowlcdges that his entire want of famil.
iarity with diplomatic forms, and lack
of proper attention to the language and
tone Of his correspondence, have occa.
stoned the errors into which he has, sc
much to his chagrin and modification, un.
fortunately been betrayed. He disclaims
however, in the most explicitand emphat-
ic manner, all thought of offering insult
or intentional disrespect to the Govern
ment of the United States, or to any mem
ber of its Executive. He expresses, al.
so, the fullest confidence that the senli.
ments of the French Government, and
especially Oft the French people, towards
the United States, are of the most fliend.
ly character; and deems it impossible
that any serious or protracted rupture
should take place between the two couh.
tries"
