DIFFICULTY IN THE MINEs,-Eapulsion al
Foreigneyy.-The San Francisco Herald pub
fishes letter, dated at Stockton, June eth,
which says:
A Spanish gentleman, named Don Jose de
Llaguno, arrived this morning from Mariposa,
and states that he and about fifty other foreign
ers, comprising Spaniards, Cinnamon, Manila
men and Mexicans, were foreibiy EXPELLED on
the Goth Of this month, from the claims they
had been working Tor the last five months, and
which were just beginning to pay, He had
erected machinery at cost Of $500, and had
to abandon all to save his life.
1t seems meeting was held OH the 18th inst.
at the crossing of the Aqua Frio and Fresho
roads, at which it was RESOLVED to expel all for
eigners from the district, and Under no other
authority than the resolutions passed at this
meeting, have these poor inofiensiye men been
forced to abandon their works, and Mr.. Llagu-
nos life spared him oh condition of his imniedi-
ately leaving the State of California
The first step of these aggress6rs was to de-
mand surrender of their arms from the foreign
ers, and their having refused to COMPLY was the
the pretext for driving them away, although
the sheriff was in their favor. Mr.. Llaguno
brings the following passport.
The bearer of this has been under to resist tia
laws of American miners and his life and liberty have
been granted him with the express understanding that he
leaves the State of California Americans requested
| not to modest him on his way out of the State.

no collector had yet been appointed.
MIR. Llaguno firmly believes that had it not
been for the friendly interference of Mr.. Belt,
| an old acquaintance of his, that he would have
been hung.
The consequence of this renewal of distinctive
laws for foreigners residing in this State is
easily foreseen. The most immediate will be
revenge. These poor creatures, relying on
American Justice, and the treaties with their
governments, came to California to labor in the
mines. They are driven ont, prosecuted and
compelled either to starve or rob. Many of
them will unite to attack innocent and unwary
transfers and travellers, and our journals will
be filled with accounts of murders and robbie
RES The next consequence will be return of
all the good men among the foreigners to their
native countries, to create feeling of hostility
to Americans and free institutions
Mr.. Llaguno is we'll known to some of the

The Stockton Journal of June 80 says:
The following note, without date, we have
received from Qnartzburg, through Todd's Ex-
press
GA party arrived in this vicinity this morn
ing, and gave Mexicans and other foreign mi
ners orders to leave this county by tomorrow
at twelve o'clock. The Americans who compose
the party are from Mariposa. They give no
cause whatever for the proceeding
Mr.. Joseph Hill, Of Hills Ferry, on the Mer-
cetl, who left Mariposa on Friday and arrived
here yesterday, has given us the following in
formation A number Of Spaniards and few
French and Iianakas, had some mining claims
on the Mariposa, their right to which was dis
puted by the American miners in the neichbor-
hood, who ordered them off The foreigners,
headed by u few Frenchmen, challenged the
Americans TO meet them at 2 o'clock on Thurs
day, and Mr.. Hill was informed that at the ap-
pointed time there were 700 foreigners and 500
Americans under arms at NIariposita We
think, however, that the number was exagger-
ated. A parley was held, and the foreigners
agreed to abandon the place. Some twenty or
thirty were taken prisoners, but were after
wards released. Subsequently,, all the Span
iardS, French kanakas and Chinese were
driven from the county.
FATAL AFFRAY.-The Stockton journal gives
an account of a fatal atfray which occurred at
French Camp on the Oath of June. A number
OF Mexicans had assembled for the purpose of
celebrating the anniversary of st. John, accord
ing to custom. In the course OF the day several
persons became intoxicated, and the result was
that two Mexicans were shot dead by man
named Brannan. The latter gave himself up, |
and was acquitted on an examination Three
Alexicans were sworn en- the part of the prose-
cution, but their evidence proved nothing.

Of Sacramento was held on The 26th June, for
