California to the effect that the expedition Of Walker
has been entirely routed. The intelligence Is Obtain
ed finn letter Of Sr. Rafael Espinosa, who, with
his successor in the government Of Lower California

rived at Cape st. Lucas on the Ssh. He says the ex
pedti0Dists disembarked with the intention OF estao'
fishing here the capital Of the republic the So
