Thinking it may be of some seryice to the citi- zens of Mobile to inform them, as far as lies in m' power, concerning the road to California, I will state the following facts concerning this route:—A person leaving Mobile can go through by Vera Cruz, city of Mexico, Guadalaxara, and San Blas, for two hundred and fifty dollars, provided he be not delayed on the route. From San Blas to San Francisco, I understand, the price of passage is two hundred dollars. ‘The amount of baggage al- lowed by the proprietor of the stages is twenty-five pounds only ; and for every pound over, that the charges are half a dollar a pound. I would advise all persons coming by this route to carry very light baggage. I will also add, that all persons comin: by this route should be well armed with Samuel Colt’s large revolvers. Mexican robbers, fearing them, will not attack. There should be from eight to ten persons in each party. Messrs. Garcia, Dee- pons & Kern, large owners of mules and horses, contemplate bringing passengers from Vera Cruz to this city for much less than the stage line, but it will require eight or nine day’s travel; the stages come in four, The expense by the stage line from Vera Cruz to this city is from sixty-five to seventy dollars. In coming through the country, | would advise a draft on Vera Cruz, or Mexican or Spanish doubloons. At Vera Cruz, get a draft on this city or Guadalaxara. A premium is generally paid upon drafts drawn on either of these places. South American doubloons are worth trom $15 to $15 50 only. No person should leave the United States to travel by this route with less than five hundred dol- lars; seven hundred is not too much by a long wa, The news from California is very’ flattering. think the time now at hand when a trip to Culifor- nia will be an every day occurrence. Should the ‘Tehuantepec route be finished, that, I think, will be the best and speediest ; at eee we can go from Vera Cruz to San Blas in fifteen days. Rough- ing itis the order on this route, particularly from Guadalaxara to San Blas, where we travel on horse- back, the roads not being fit for carriages. —Mubue Meal, June 22.
