signed by the American citizens and leading native resi-
dents Of that city sent 10 Commodore Montgomery
asking him TO defer his departure for few days. In order
10 protect the property and lives of the inhabitants
case of invasion from the belgerents who, since my
last have only been held in check and prevented from
the preparation Of further ouages by the presence Of
this ship.
Had the Indians really entered the town. sacked and
burnt it, doubt much whether could would have
hindered them, long they respected tho property
and persons Of our citizens but, the Mexcans had
made the a believe that Commodore Montgomery would
materially assist the town. they took II for granted that
they would be warmly received and concluded 70 post
pope their visit. Al
On the evening Of the 2eth of July Official reached
he city of the arrival of Gov Pesquers AT Hermoso
about days march from Guaymas, for its relief, with
military force OF 5000 troops collected at different mill
AIRY stations the State Of Sonora The Indians having
intercepted Of the courers and thus learned the
few hours ahead Of the city authorities slowly
reeaed to the Yaqui Pass there to await the advan cling
forces.
Imsy as well mention here that learned from pri
vate letter received at Mazatlan, dated July g. that
meeting between the contendng parties had resulted in
the defeat Of the Indians the Mexicans recapturng the
FORT ammunition and 1ed pieces which had been wresed
from them about two weeks previous AT last accounts
Gov. Pcsquiera was following up his victory with sue
cessf tkrmlshes advancing steadily and 1t thought
that he would be enabled to bring his opponents 10
advantageous terms.
Our presence Quay thus being made superaaous
started for La Paz Lower California, WHARF
rived the evening Of the Goth of June. Everybody
who had the good fortune TO get ashore at this
place was heartily welcomed and cordially received by
the inhabitants and could easily perceive tina, they
were on the most friendly terms with the Americana
while loud in their nvectives against John Bull,
count Of his medilesome interference in Mexican politics,
Of which the late San Bias affair excellent speci

La Paz ID the most beautifully situated and for trade
well adapted settlement this side Of Mexico; its har
Dor easy Of access roomy and safe against all gales
The ship Forest King, Of Boston, and number Of small
craft from Aazatlan were loading here with hides and sill
yer and copper The Forest King would sail about
the middle Of July for the United States.
Although stay here but short, IL neycrthe-
less long enough to give good idea OF the wealth aad
influence Of La Paz The mines in its immediate vicinity
extraordinarily large and the stock in the best possible
condition.
The entire population of Lower California Is oberalu
and taking advantage of visit IN Mazatlan they
despatched their Governor, Don Hironimo Amador TO
take passage with US In order 10 confer with the Cover

the United States ship Cyans last from San Francisco
where she had been dock and thoroughly overhaued
The statements made in several of the California papers,
that the Cyane bad lost 81 least half Of her while boz

The United states Consul to Mazatlan, Mr. Ed Conner,
took passage with 10 Acapulco, where he expects 70
be joined by his family their way from the United
