Brigham Young, as Prophet, and net as
political Governor of Utah, issued proc
lamation about the middle of March last
advising, but not commanding, all the
Mormons Of Salt Lake city and all the
settlements north of it to move their fami-
lies to Provo and other places south Of the
latter city. This request also embraces all
the towns south of Salt Lake city and
north Of Provo. They were counseled to
remove all their stores of provisions, as
well as the doors and windows of their
houses, and all other property which could
be transported, which would be of use to
them where they might eventually locate.
Wagons and horses were sent north
from Salt Lake city and the southern set
Elements to assist in the removal. No
more men were desired to move south than
were necessarily required to accompany
the women and children, the mass of males
remaining at their farms to secure grow
ing crops but no more sowing was to bo
DONE
The object Of this movement was to pre-
vent a separation of the Mormons in the
event Of the occupancy Of tue Salt Lake
Valley by the United States troops
Brigham Young had, at that time, deter
mined to destroy every perishable thing in
and about Salt Lake city, and all the
settlements north but letters written on
the 9th of April, and after the adjournment
of the Annual Conference, by members Of
the Twelve, say that circumstances have
arisen to create the belief that the city will
not be destroyed, and that the troops will
not move into the city for some length Of
time, if at all.
ParOwan is to be the residence for the
time being of the supreme ruler of the
Mormons, while oil the settlements north
will be abandoned by the Mormon rulers,
and given up to the United States civil
authorities, soldiers and Gentiles.
If the men who. remain in the northern
part for the purpose of harvesting should
be molested or prevented, they will destroy
their crops.
The Deseret Neps had not been suspend
ed, but would be removed to Cedar City or
Parowah .t
The Vineyard has the following, headed
"An Extraordinary Diplomatic Mission -
We are advised that an Englshman re-
Gently came from San Francisco by the
Tulare route, on his way to the head-quar-
ters of the Mormons. He arrived on the
Mohave river, near San Bernardno, about
the first of April, where he found party
of saints from San Jose on their way to
Utah.
Whether owing to his natural sangune-
ness, or the harmonious commixture of his
own complexion with the character Of the
soil over which he was travelling, or the
expansion from the greater heat of the at
mosphere, of the charge which he was
commissioned to bear to Utah, we know
not but he could restrain himself no
longer, but divulged tho object of his en-
bassy and commenced negotiations with the
saints. ~
He is the representative of the English
government and Col. Kinney of Central
American notoriety, and is commissioned
to jointly represent those two powers near
the Court of the Prophet, and extend to
him the offer Of the Kingdom Of Mosquito
dom as a refuge from the insufferable per-
secution of the American government. If
he cannot translate the Zion of the Latter
Day Saints to that paradise, they are will
ling to accept of the establishment of a
Viceroyalty in that country by the Reve-
lator, TO be supported and sustained by q
colony of saints, which, fresh from Utah,
will carry hostile anti-Amcrican feeling
enough into that country to quit the appre-
tensions Of John Bull respecting the donin-
ancy of the Yankee in that quarter
