The Mexican papers, before receiving news of the
capture of La Paz, contained accounts of the pro
ceedn In San Francisco relative 70 the vessels aud
munitions which, it was said were intended for on
expedition against Sonora The news of these events
has been already received here. 1t seems that the
Arrow and Carolina succeeded in escaping the vgi
lance Of the authorities and getting to sea- together
with . small steamer-au carrying 200 men. The
Arrow was commanded by Mr.. William Walker, pro-
badly the gentleman who was, at one time connected
with the Crescent OF this city. Toe expedition was
asunc antly supplied with arms and ammunition
These were the vessels, according TO all accounts
which disembarked the aovensurers who took posses
l3p of La Paz
We learned by cur last California advices that
party of had taken the overland roate with the
Intention Of meeting, a. Guaymas, their associates
who had gone oy sea- or the movements OF these
land forces we ss yet know nothing.
The Ira d Union quotes a letter from Mszatan
dated November 4, aud received BY commercial
house in the city of Mexico. The letter says
The bark Carolina belonging Mr. R1binsou,
seen tn. slss OF October carrying the hsxcsn dag
and having Ito or 200 men on board near Cape San
Lucas At that point they took provisions without
paying for them nd it supposed they vii stop 81 Ia

At least this il vha IS said by passenger arrived b.

1t Is gele orally believed that the jrdon is goug to
Guaymas; however rothirg positive can be affirmed n
relation to It, Santiago Robinson. who her. at the

He left this morning in The TFeo for Guaymas order
10 protect his family against The disorders which will be
no doubt committed BY this raboe composed Of all that
h evil in San Francisco.
From the conversation which Re had with tos plain
of the so be inferred that The iAtr did not contider
himself authorized to interfere with. prevent the dis
smbs' katon Of he expedition, even though i. should
not be protected BY the NJ xcan fag believe that

Another letter to the Siglo, dated Topic, Novem-

were in commur ieation with some of the inhabi-
tants of Guaymas. The writer tells of diff ulty
which had occurred between Lieutenant Puente,
commanding the armed schooner Guerrero, and
person named Spens, (probably Spencer.) He says
that Spens offered PueDte . sum OF money in order
to induce him to wink at. some smuggling transac-
tions and to permit the clardestine Decentralization
OF some artillery and munitions which were TO come
from Guaymas and Lower California, and which
belonged to the expedition that had invaded the
latter department PGsnte, we are told, like gen.
tenan and an officer, rejected the proposition and
gave Information Of it to the military authorities. The
letter goes to say that nse i'd Of receiving aid
and encouragement the authorities referred TO armed
the national guard, and threw Puente into prison.
This certainly looks as though Puente received no
thanks f,r medd'ing in the mater. 1t appears from
the statements Of the same paper, that these author
ties had despatched the Carolns to San Francisco
withou: clearing her in the regular and legal man
ner. The American schooner General Patterson
had arrived at Guaynas from the Colorado river
where she had loaded provisions and munitions of
war. This is all the news we can find concerning
the expedition.
We observe, by the Vera Croz papers, that in &C
cordance with petition OF the merchants Of that
place. the steamer Texas is allowed to discharge her
cargo by preference all other vessels, ID order
that she may lot be compelled to remain in port
more than her regular time.
