Ido notdoubt that there is a scheme on toot to destroy the hopes of the United States on the California question, as it is rumored here that En- gland will outbid her inany event. There is a soreness felt by Gieat Britain at her being out-generalled in the Texas annexation ; and California, she is determined to have at all hazards. The rumor is rife here that the British Minister has made some advances on this subject; and emissaries of that government are well stationed, and keep the whole country under their surveillance. Will the United States see European interference carried to this extent, and a People conquered oy the anaconda folds of her unequalled diplomatic skill? And these folds are daily tightening around this republic, until the last vestige of her freedom is lost in a con- quest or akingdom.
