CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be gralifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed 10 announce thai their arrangements are now
coaal~sc for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire 70 accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and ny
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other Line. Uaforeseen difficulties. and The prevA-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impatience Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that tht
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des
patch.

Tinted Siafes i,l Congress assembled; The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
tbev are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc
of 18Th of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
thnt they do no, expect or desire to reside on the
land thlls granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be smnuai
charge, reducing the value OF the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaIsts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the WARRANTS, assam ea
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, arc not competent 10 act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen, and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified MS to make the warrants for
bounty lands assisnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

A young gentleman of this city, who went

pened to be in Havana on the day of The exccu-
ton Of the American prisoners He wrote by
the Empire City letter descriptive of the hor-
rible event, from which we are permitted to
make the following extracts, which are the more
powerful intended only for the eye of his
brother, to whom il was addressed:
Havana, Aug. IS, 1851.
There were ffty-two of Lopez's men shot
to-day about three-quarters of mile from the
city. They were taken yesterday, brought in
to-day and shot. | became acquainted with a
number of Americans, and we went TO see
them, as | knew good many were from Mo-
bile, butt could not get near enough to recog-
nize them, the soldiers and citizens were so
thick. / was up within twenty steps of them
when they were shot. Their hands were tied
behind, and they had TO kneel, and were shot by
sections in the back.
Afterwards the soldiers marched in the same
manner and run their bayonets through their
bodies and struck them on the head with their
muskets. 1t lCdS an awful sight, one that
shall never forget. After all was done, the
soldiers and citizens marched into the city, ma
king a procession of several males in length,
some with the caps of the dead men on poles,
also their shoes, parts of their clothing, &C.,
&c., as trophies, and in this way went through
the principal street of tire city. had left the
place in what they call ''voante," and drove
very fast, andswent through another gate in time
to see the whole affair.
| do not think there were less than 1000 OF
1900 soldiers. IT. is very dangerous times for
Americans to 90 ashore, and the Americans in
the city advised us to get aboard as as pos
sbe, which l assure you did in hurry. j
life. They insult almost every American they
meet in the street, and kept very quiet anC
did not give them chance at me. The Falcor
is in and we will be off in a few minutes.
