The Daniel Webster connected with the steamer

tweniy-one and a half days from San Francisco.
The Prometheus sailed from San Juan for New
York on the 3Ist, with 42O passengers.
The VI ebster left at San Juan the U. S. sloop of
war Albany.
The only San Francisco papers received are of the
10th of May. My despatch must therefore necessa-
rily be very meagre. The San Francisco papers
from the LIST the 18th are, however, hourly ex pect-
ed by The steamer Philadelphia.

routed by the Governor.
The Emperor using all his energies and means |
10 order and crush the rebels. 1t thought

Our friend of the Atlantic has missed fire this time,
orrather gone off half cooked. John Van Buren, has
not been appointed Minister France, nor has any
appointment been made for that post. The Editor
had not certainly examined the official list of appoint
nents, on the first page of his paper, or he would
not have committed such blunder. We hope the
