MAzATLAN, April 8, ls49.
GENTLEMEN: The Peruvian bark
Fanny, Capt. DeBrot, arrived here on
the 7th inst, direct from San Francis,
CO, where she sailed on the goth ult.
A short time before the Fanny left,
one of the boats crews belonging TO
the U. S. Flagship Ohio, ran away
with boat and all. They were pursued
captured, and brought back. Shortly
AFTER the crew being called to perform
some duty, they refused to turn out or
to obey the orders of the officers; in
consequence of which about thirty OF
the leaders were confined in irons--a
court martial was being held on board
the Ohio, and it was the opinion that
Com. Jones would hang a number Of
the conspirators. There was much dis.
affection in the navy. All of the off.
GERS Of the sIoop-of war St. Mary's had
been tried by court martial save two.
The U. S. propeller Massachusetts
arrived at San Francisco on the 25th
of March. Owing 10 the immense
number of people arriving al San Fran
cisco, the country is in very insecure
state. There is great want of an eff.
fective military force, and The exten.
sion Of the laws of the United States
over the territory, Yours &c. J. p.
The Monitor of the Gath ult. states
that file Of the Alta California, pub.
ished at San Francisco, had jus, come
to hand, reaching up to the 18th Of
March. These state that several meet
ings had taken place there, at which
resolutions were passed TO organize a
Legislative Assembly, composed of Is
members, charged with The task of
framing laws for the preservation of
order and the protection of trade and
commerce within the district Of San
Francisco. 1t was also resolved that
three Judges should be elected for the
administration Of justice.
We saw letter yesterday, dated the
oath ult., at Vera Cruz, from a foreign
merchant, which confirms the above in.
formation given by the Siglio. 1t is
represented that the people of Caifor.
MIA had organized government, which
dISavowed the authority Of Gen. Smith
as Governor, and had annuled his pro.
hbltlon excluding foreigners from work.
ing the mines. Thinking it quite prob
able that Gen. Smith had modified the
order which he promulgated at Panama
we were at first inclined to suppose that
such modification, upon a popular rep.
reseniation made TO him, had been con.
founded with disavowal of his author
ily; but il would appear that something
more serious has occurred, though.
Precsel what we do not understand.
The convention which it was proposed
10 hold in March to organize a govern
ment was defnitely postponed TO the lst
Tuesday in May, (lst.) as we have sup
posed, but it is possible that the neces-
'iiysof an earlier organization, became
apparent, aud that the convention pro-
;eeded TO their work al first intended,
and that the legis lalive assembly above
is part Of lis work. On this |
point we must await further news, for
we are willing 10 suppose for moment
hat Gen. Smiths authority had been
suspended. 1t could not fail 10 be known
o our correspondent at Mazallan, and
lie would have neglected to mention it.
The Monitor, two days earlier, Qhe
'2D says Gen. Smith has organized
'ood police, and tacilly permits every
me who chooses TO dig al the pacers;
