EW YORK, SUNDAY MORNING, ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GREAT BRITAIN. SEPTEMBER 96, 1847. Affairs in California, Santa Banvana, Urrer Cauironia, } May 3, 1847. At moment's notice, by a mail across tue mountains, I am going to give you an idea of things in California, as they are now and have been since our arrival here. You have probably heard that the first ship, containing three companies, with the Colonel of the 7th regiment United States Volunteers, arrived at San Francisco, on March 6th, after a passage of one hundred and sixty-five days. The remaining ships soon followed, and the last one ar- rived three weeks after us. We were disappointed in finding everything quiet, the treaty of peace having been made and Generals Flores and Castro having gone into Sonora. ‘bree companies were immediately march- ed to the Presidia, about two miles from the town, where they remained until the remaining ships came in, when our destinations were mado as follows :—Companies D, G.I and Eat Monteray, with Colonel Stevenson; Com panion A,'D and F at Senta Barbara, under Lleut Col. Henry S. Burton; Companles land at fan Franclaco, under Major James A. ‘while Com} ; soned ‘the town of Sonora, sixty miles nort! of San Francisco. We arrived here on the 7th of April, aud after encamping on the beach for a few days removed into barracks, where we are now comfortably located, and our men in good order and discipline, ready for an attack, which the present state of affairs renders not improbable at avy moment. You ure aware that a treaty of peace was entered into in January last, be- tween Colonel Fremont and the Commandant of the California forces. ‘This treaty required that the Cali- fornians should eurrender their public arms, and not again take them up, or be requested to swear alle- gience to the United States Government until the clove of the war with Mexico, This treaty was made just after the fiyht at the Pueblo de los Angelos, (the town of the Angels) between Gen, Kearny, assisted by Com Stockton, and Gen. Flores, with five hundred mounted Cal'forni- ans, who were most signally defeated. Immediately after this, Flores left for Sonora, without doubt, with the in- tention of raising s force to invade and retake this coun- try; but no further attempt was made hers. Col. Fre- mont, with his volunteers, were at the Pueblo—Com- modores Stockton and Shubrick on the coast—Captain ‘Tompkins, with his two companies under Gen. Kearney, at lonterey, ,and soon our regioent of six hundred ‘was stationed at the three most important towns on .. Within » few days, however, we have had news which may be relied upon. It is known that a Mexican, sailing under French colors, which was taken in the harbor of Sam Pedro a few weeks since, by the ‘Warren, had previously conveyed from Guayama, and landed @ quantity of military stores, ammunition, and some cannon at the bay of San Francisco‘ in Lower California. Added to this, it isreported, on good authority, that s Mexican’ force had crossed the Gulf, and after taking their stores, are now with- in five or six ds march of the Pueblo, which is ninety miles below here. Col. Cook, who is there with a company of eighty dragoons and dred and twenty Mormon troops, has commenced prepa- rations to receive the enemy,and has sent to us for asupply ofammunition,which we despatched to him,to the amount of five thousand rounds of ball cartridge, a week since. It is altogether probable that Gen. Flores, stung by his defeat, and actuuted by a spirit of revenge, upon reach- ing Sonora gathered around him « company of despera- does, many of them being men who hai deserted from Santa Anna’s army, and inciting them with the hope of plunder, has brought them into Californis, little dream- ing of Americen force he would have to contend with here. Should he reach here, however, he would be immediately joined by the Californians, and one despe- rate effort would be made to drive “los Americanos” from their soil. It is a mistaken idea that they are in favor of the American rule here. Much as they dislike Mexico and her government, they would rally round her standard at the tap of the drum, and fight with all their skill and bravery, which by the way, require a spy glass ES with the big end at the eye,to Be discerned. For the two months they have been very anxious to purchasv arms and ammunition of all kinds, and at any price, aud it is well known they are gathering in t! fatty of the Pueblo. One great, cause of their hatred is tho actions of some of the Mormen troops aud citizens in the country, and many of them seem to entertain an ides that “les Americanos” are all “Mormonito's,”’ and that we have come here to upset all their religious as vernmental institutions. Many persons still doubt the probability of another outbreak, but | um per- suaded that all appearances threaten it. Incase it does come we can muster about two thousand American troops here, including marines and sailors of the men-of- war, Fremont’s battalien of volunteers, who were raised by him last August, in San Francisco, ut 25 dollars per month, were disbanded « teow days since at the Pueblo, their time of service having expired. The Brutus,bring- img the remainder of our wen who were left in New York, arrived at San Francisco, a week since, with the men in good order. We have just heard the news from the United States of the bill for the increase of the ar- my. It is glorious, and we hope that some of us will be remembered. Ihave much more to say but the mail is closing. KE. G. B, ARMY. We learn from Frankfort that the requisite number of companies for the two new regiments called for from Kentucky, had beem reported on Wednesday evening last. It is probable that there will be many more com- panies than are called for under the requisition—perhaps @ full re t—by Monday next, the day upon which they will be received by the adjutant general. and the iments formed. ‘The following is from the Keatucky Yeoman paca A — “ Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock we called at the exe- cutive dey ent, and learned that the following com- panies had been reported towards filling the two infan- ry regiments now being raised in this State, ‘I'he com. panies will be received, and officers appointed, on the 20th inst.

ERCIAL Societies 1w Tuk UNiTED —It has long been known, that in New York, and in other large American cities, there exists a eonfederation, or society, for mutual protection of the merchants and reilers of goods against needy and dis- honest customers. This society has its agents in most places in the Western States and Canada, with whom it communicates, (now per magnetic telegraph.) when an of its members wishes for enquiry relative to the stand- ing or honesty of intending purchasers. We are not go- ing to quarrel with this society for many reasons, one of which is, that nothing we write could aught affect it ; but we intend to allude to a r t circumstance con- nected with its Kingston agency, to show that it is capag ble of doing an infinity ot mischief A Kingston mer- chant had occasion lately to visit New York. One of the arse of whom he wished to bay, being a member of this intelligence society, made enquiry of the Kingston agency. The answer returned was,“ that the intending purchaser was what he represeated himself to ba, but that he had taken another gentleman into co-partner- ship, for whose heavy debts he was liable.” Of course the negotiation was suspended; but the Kingston mer- nt, knowing that he had taken no man into partner- ship, and therefore was responsible for no man’s debts, ‘was as much astonished as confounded at the statement, and could not be made to believe that any such answer had been returned, until, by some moans or management, he obtained sight of the letter and took a copy. Then convinced of the fact, he gave references to parties of unquestionable respectability, and with some trouble and delay, removed the scandal and made his purehates. Parties who accept the agensy of a secret intelligence society of the nature we alludy te, should be extremely cautious in their conduct. They have it in their power injury on thoir te townsmen, with- case out of ten, fording the injured Persons the means of explanation. In the case which has come under our notice, there existed no rea- son whatever for the information given; it was gratui- tous, and it was incorrest; and knowing something of all the parties interested, wo cannot imagine why it was given. Scoret societies are not much influenced by news- paper notoriety, and we greatly fear wo have thrown our labor Vii Se the present ovcasion.—Kingston (Ca- nada) Whig, Sept. 18, Movements of the People. : A Taylor meeting was held at the Court Louse in the city of Reading, Pa..on the 18th inst.

As we stated yesterday, the parties were pursued and overtaken at the depot by an uncle of the fair betrothed, who was obliged to accompany them to Providence. Upon their arrivel in that city, the two couples lest no time in pro- curing 4 carriage, giving orders to the driver to“ drive until requested to stop.” The uncle used all endeavors to prevent their departure, but without avail, and finally procured another carriage, with orders to the driver to follow the other in advance, wherever it went. The unhappy pair finding all hope of escape in this manner entirely useless, ordvred the coachman to turn and drive to the City Hotel. Both carriages shortly arrived at that house, where all parties alighted. TRe next ob- ject of the uncle was to procure the services of an ofll- eer, and while in pursuit of one, the runaways, accom- panied by a guide, left the hotel, and wended their way towards the residence of the “nearest clergyman.” Again they were doomed te disappointment, for they had proceeded but a few steps when they were met by the uncie in company with constable Gould, who tool the parties in charge, and with them arrived in this city at noon yesterday. Here the assistance of officer Starkweather was procured, and at half-past three o'clock in the #fiernvon that officer saw the uncle and his runaway niece sufely in the cars at the Eastern depot, on their way home, The disappointed Swain and his aids were left behind, with fall liberty to wend their way back to Lynnfield at their leisure. — Boston Journal, Sept, 23, day’s Journa ELorzment Exrraorpinary-—It will be recol- sted that some two months ago we published an account of a cage that was tried before one of the jus- tlees of the peace in New York city, between parties who had formerly resided in this city. Patrick Pureell and his quondam wife, Elizabeth Flood, it seems had re- sided here ior some years past, in a state of matrimony that only wanted the blessing of the parson to sanctify and make it legal. By the evidence brought before Re- corder Genois yesterday, it seems that the major domo of the establisument, Patrick Purcell, was an excellent, hard working man, although he brought but few of Sen- ator Benton’s “ mint drops’? to the till, On the other hand, it was proved that Miss Flood, his eher amie, was a hard-working washer-woman, who, by her labor, mai from $15 to $20 per week. It was moreover proved that Mr. Purcell gave her free access to the money drawer, and he ackuowledged “in ® manner,” that he eiways thought that the money was as much her's as bis, On the 22d of June last, however, Miss Flood eloped with one Mr. Thomas Perry, and took with her some $600, Mr. Purcell followed the parties to New York, bad them arrested, and after @ rigid examination into the care, the matter was dismissed. On their arrival in this port, not long ago, the matter was again brought up for litigation, and yestorday the examination took place, Miss Flood and Mr. Perry were discharged, much to the chagrin, we doubt not, of Mr. Patrick Purcell,—New Orleans Delta, Sept, 16.

He has been for weeks literally in the wilderness, where the foot of the white man does not often tread. He is the fourth white man, in an official character, who has visited Leech Lake. His predecessors were Gen. (then Capt.) Pike, as far back as 1505, Gov. Cass and Mr Sehooleraft. The Pillager Indians, a section of the Chippewa tribe—so called from having pillaged the goods of a white trader who was taken sick while settled among them—reside in that vicinity, and it was necessa- ry for the success of bis mission, that le should visit them in their own fastnesses. From the mouth of Crow Wing river, he travelled for one hundred and thirty miles through a series of small lakes, but in making the portages they found themselves in swamps sometimes two feetdeep. ‘This was not the most agreeable travel- ling. particularly as some days they had nothing to eat, while at night Uhey were drenched with rain. But by wrapping up closely in theM ackinaw blanket. they could rest, even when steaming with the rain. After camping out one or two nights, the exposure is not felt at all—for axt times, they would rise in the morning literally reeking with rain, and yet take no cold, or suffer any serious ef- feots therefrom.
