ACQUISITION OF l.owER CALIFoRSIA.--The
Washington correspondent Of the tew York
Herald, says The allusion in the Inaugural
to The purchase of territory by the United
States, will receive Nh early solution in all
probability, in the acquisition Of Lower Cali
fornia and Sonora. Under the peculal posi-
ton of affairs now in Mexico there is no doubt
those possessions could easily be purchased,
and whilst they are an expense to Mexico,
they would be Of immense Importance to the
United STATES. Mr. Buchausn's policy in
this respect is decided, and the purchase, il
within reasonable bounds. will lie made.
