We see by our different exchanges and b, information collected from individuals from the neigboring republic, that the sIoops of War Cyane and Ossipee are stationed at MagdaIena Bay Lower California, and also that a com- pany of artillery is ordeyed to San Diego. An occasional visit from mau-of-war to any of the Mexican ports where American in- terests are at stake is about all that American citizens expect from their government. and even in troubous times on the Mexican coast it Is seldom that vessel of war is stationed even al the principal ports, Now, from some unknown cause, which our readers most con- lecture, there are two; ships in Magdalena Bay.
 Another point upon which Our reader may exercise their judgment is this; We are not at war with any maritune:power that it should 0e deemed necessary 50 fortify San Diego, nor are the inha bitants going to revolt, nor does Arizona intend to secede, nor can we fight the Apache to advantage with artillery What then are those cannons for and whither their destination
