DIVISION OF CALIFoRNIA.-The plan
that has been brewing for some time in
California, for the division of the State,
took form on the 4th of April, by the
introduction of bill for that purpose
into the Legislature. The proposition
is to create two new States TO be called
Shasta and Colorado. The original
plan was to make FIVE of the Pacific
States, instead of three, but this seems
to have been abandoned. The most
Southern Of the States to be created is
the largest; this will be called Colorado,
and will be nearly as large as both the
others.

SECRET HIsToRY OF THE OsTEND
CoNFERENoE.-A Paris correspondent
of the N. Y. Tribune gives what he
claims as the secret history of the IA
nous Ostend Manifesto. When SouIe
had been notified to meet Messrs. Bu-
chanan and Mason, for the purpose ol
agreeing upon a line of policy. the for
mer gentleman drew up a paper setting
forth the reasons why the United States
must have possession of Cuba. True,
it came to downright stealing in the
end, but there were many very specious
and plausible reasons why this should
be done. 1t was written with great
force vigor, subtlety, and was as far re-
moved from criticism as such docu-
ment could be. When this paper was
presented at the Conference, Mr.. Bu-
chanan, thinking himself a much greater
man than Mr.. Soule, and thinking that
the Minister to Spain would be too
much filibusterer to express his senti-
ments, deemed it his duty to re-write
and modify the document. Mr.. Mason
probably reasoned in very much the
same style, and also insisted on re-
modling it. The result is the document
which has been published to the world
is regarded by the liberal, intelligent
minds of Europe as disgrace to his
diplomacy It is intimsted that Mr..
sOule may yet publish his original dOcu-
ment. -
Another fact is worth mentioning.-
When Mr.. Soule heard that his request
for recall had been granted, and that
Mr.. Breckenridge had been appointed
his successor he wrote long letter to
that gentleman. giving full expose of
the state Of negotiations at that time, of
the difficulties he would encounter, OF
the impossibility Of gaining any reputa-
ton at the post, and advising him TO re-
fuse it. Shortly after the reception Of
that letter, astonished his friends and
the public, by declining the mission 'for
reasons Of private character."
