We indebted to Capt. Walsh, of the Il =
Transport Monterey, for the following intcrcstno
intelligence:
The news from Fort Yuma is to the effect that All
the Indians in the vicinity are quiet and ON thr
most friendly terms with the whites. Mr.. Whiting
who is in command of the Sonora surveying party
at this point had left the Fort on the 22d Of Feb
ruary, (havng completed the river survey and
intended to continue his work in boats rs far rs
Adair Bay; thence to proceed to GuaYmas. On the
18th March, Mr.. Whiting with n pOr ton of his
party returned to the river for a fresh supply of
water; also, to discharge of his party and
make arrangements for the TRANSFORMATION of the
remainder to Guaymas so soon as he completed the
survey of Adar, it being impossible for them to
carry out their original intention to proceed to
that point in their own boats, during the gale above
mentioned-thus reduced to but one boat, in which
they could not carry over twenty days supply of
water.

ative degree of quiet, but business is very dull.
