despatch was received in this city last night from
1 Yreka, announcing the arrival of named Bennett
that place, from Portland, Oregon with dispatches
from Gen. Harvey to Gen. Clarke commanding the Cali
fornia Department. rumor was current at Portland
that the English steamer Satellite had fired shot and
shell on the island of San Juan, killing thirty Americans
Tho only foundation for the report appears to be rumor
prevalent at Portland when the courier left but when
dates and other circumstances considered, does not
seem at all probable. AT last dates Gen. Harvey was mo-
mcntariy expected at San juan and had been for some
time in the neghborhood of Puget Sound We have Vic
toria papers of the sh inst and the Northerner,
in this port, left that place day later, when every
thing quiet 1t is but two hours sail from the island
and intelligence would have been once conveyed to
the authorities at yancouvers Island if such event had
occurred The messenger arrived yesterday at Yreka,
and it would occupy at least four five days
travel fran Steacoom Olympia to the northern bor
dor of California. The bombardmcnt if the report be
true must therefore have taken place the 9th 10th
Had General Harvey deemed it necessary communicate
with General Clarke this emergency, he would have
transmitted his dispatches by the United States steamer
Active or Shubrick, or Massachusetts,, which vessels
down to San Francisco in less than four days is
probable the dispatches for Washington and entrusted

Banes had countermandcd the bcgcrcnt orders issued
by Governor Douglass and had sent England for nsruc

belongs TO the United States and several of the English
