FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES NAIL TEAM SHIP
COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO

CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be gratfed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed to announce that heir,hrrangements are now
complete 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 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties and the preya-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro 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 Impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions 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 the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, Will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
| cisco, consists of the
| REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.

that would NOT be the case-and it is so construed
by the Barings for there are letters from them,
disclaming any obligation, on their part, to COM
MY with the terms Of contract, by which they
say nothing iS to be made, owing to the short time
that will eapse before the next insalment becomes
due. But as Mexico digs annually from forty to
fifty millions of dollars worth of the precious
metals Mr.. M. went on to show how the command
of three millions carried into the country might
be proftably invested in drafts on New York. He
was indifferent, however, as to realizing profit ;
but was anxious that legislation should take place,
with reference to the payment OF the next install
nsent and thus show the Mexican nation that the
people of the United States, who were represented
in that House. were at all times willing to do what
its government desired, and which was az much
for our interest as theirs. As to any violation OF
the treaty by making payment in New York, IN
the manner proposed, that had already been vio-
lated by the mode in which the payments have
been made.
Mr.. MEADE went on 20 show the right that
exists, by which nations may make arrangements
to modify the terms of treaty and proved that
the Barings had not paid Mexico in gold and sill
yer, but by payment Of her drafts which had be-
come due. He had no question, he said, as to the
power 70 change treaty, and which it did not re-
auire the same formaIity to effect, when it was
framed. As to any liability being incurred indi.
rectiy, by departure from the original compact,
he con.snded that if the money were paid in the
manner proposed. and was squardered away by
those in power in Mexico, the United States would
moi be accountable for its not reaching the public
treasury. The contract having been abandoned
she ouestion naturally arises-sha we make ar
raneements by which Mexico will receive tn,
nonev in New York, as she desires' To do this
we c,n notify her government that its drafts vii
be paid in that city. But if the transaction is pu
in the hands Of bankers, they will take drafts at
large discount, and come OH here and sell them
"a premium thus making money ny ool" opera
lions. This was another reason why he was II
favor Of the amendment.
