By tho arrival Of the steamer Consti-
tuition we have received the San Diego
Herald and Los Angeles Star Of the 18th
inst. We copy the following from the
Herald 3:
REVOLUTION IN BAJA CALIFORNIA
We received important information from
Senior Antonio Sozo, who passe d through
here on Thursday last to recall Capt.
Castro. that Lower California was again
in state of insurrection. The rebel
lion is headed by the brothers Melen-
dres, and their first object is to take the
town Of Santo Tomas. Melepdres. with
some forty of his men, was met by Senior
Juan Mendoza, ut the head of ten men
of the Government party. They were
engaged in conflict at the moment of
Senior Sozo's departure, near the hamlet
of La Grulla, situated some four miles
to the northward Of Santo Tomas. Senior
Sozo, however, brings the intelligence of
the probable death of Senior Santa Ma
ria Alvarez, who was left by him in La
Grulla mortslly wounded. No doubt
the Government troops will eventually
succeed in putting down the insurgents,
as they have body Of thirty two men
in Santo Tomas, and two pieces of ar
tillery. We shall probably be put in
possession Of the details by the time Of
issuing our next number.
FROM THE GILA.-A Government cou.
rier arrived at this place on last Friday
week, from the Gila and Colorado o rivers
We could gather no news of general
interest. Major Andrews, with q party
of men, had gone in pursuit of some In
dians, whom il was rumored were am
buscaded near the emigrant trail, for
purposes Of plunder.
U. s. BOUNDARY COMMISSION. The
Commissioner, Mr.. Bartlett, is hurrying
on every preparation for his departure
fer the Paso del Norte, where he will
probably await the arrival Of the Mexi.
can Commissioner, who will be appoint-
ed in place Of the much esteemed and
lamented General Garcia Conde. We
have received information from somc
emigrants, recently across the plains,
that party Of the Commission came on
as far MS the Pimo Villages, where, OBJ
tanning intelligence of Mr.. Bartlett be-
ing in San Diego, they returned to Paso
to await his arrival. No doubt this was
a portion of the Commission detailed for
the survey of the Rio Bravo del Norte,
which survey was to have progressed in
unison with that of the Gila, but was
prevented from completing its duties by
the recall of Major Graham, the death
Of General Garcia Conde, the subse-
quent appointment of Major Emory, and
the unavoidable absence of the Ameri.
can Commissioner
DEER SHOOTING. "A gentleman of this
place brought homo four fine deer, and
twelve brace of ducks, all which he shot
in one day, a few miles from here. They
were served up for the supper at the
Pioneer Yatch Club Ball
We learn from the Star, Of the 18th,
that the Priests and representatives. Of
the Mission Of San Gabriel, have pre-
pared a petition to Congress, which is
signed by l44 citizens Of Los Angeles
county, and claims the right Of holding
the church at the Mission, with the ad-
jacsnt buildings, as they stand, and a
piece of land contiguous thereto, includ-
ing the orange garden, Of all which pro-
psrty they are now in actual possession,
and seek confirmation of tho claim.
1t is the intention of the Catholic Bishop
Of California, to establish Seminary
for the education of Priests, at the Mis-
sion, on the lands referred to, with the
design at on early day Of extending
Missionary operations to the Indians Of
the Tulares, and other wild tribes
as we'll as Of ameliorating the condition
of the numerous Indians that once pro-
fessed the faith under the paternal in
fuence Of this Mission.
