We haves here ofore stated, on the authority pondent, that a party of Americans avd Frenchmen bad established themselves in Le Paz, Lover Califorvia, where they were engaged. in the early part of in making preparations to invadé Sonora and Cai- hhuahva; and further, that two English men-of war were stationed in the vieizity, intending. it is supposed to in- terfere in case the expedition commenced hostilities. Letters have been received from Mazatlan, by late arri wale, up to the first of April. By these we learn that the California expedition, under Count Raousset, which wa: believed near at hand, formed the absorbing topic of dis. @ussion. The Governor and Commandant General of the Bate of Finsloa had interrogated the crew and passengers of the Fuglish brig Trisphina, recently frem San Franci aa to the tru’h of the rumors afloat. Their replies, D’Echo du Pacifique, seem to have greatly alarmed the Governor, as ke immeciately despatehed an express to ‘Mexico to inform the supreme government—now General Bente Anna—cf the facts, At the same time the Com- soandant of the port of Mazatlan caused the following to ‘be inserted in the officialj journal, La Atalaya del Sur :— EXprpmion OF CALIFORNIA ADVENTURERS TO SoxORA —The English brig Trisphina, from San Francise>, has it touched at this port.

Riot in Upper Placerville. | Fer three successive nights our town has presented the | epectacle of lawiese riots, anda wanton divrezard of the rights and sacred privileges, as well as a brutal abuse of the feelings, of one of our most estimable citizeos. And whet makes it Coubly culpable,is, that not the least rea- son OF apology is offered or given by the disgraceful parti- cipetors in the scenes, otber than that the proprietor of the boare around which these lawless acts are perpe trated wiil not, at any time of night that these miscre- ants may elect’ to call, rise from bis.couch, throw open his house, and give them a free entertainment. It is not enough that the peace and quiet of the entire neighborhocd be nightly disturbed, that Iarguage so ob- scene that it would disgrace a brothel be loudly pro claimed, but they must needs go farther, and, ia violy- tion of that law that is, or ought to be, the prolection of every American citiven, break in the windows of his house with missiles or blows. it is to be regretted that this portion of Placerville is just without the corporate limi nd, therefore, does not | enjoy that prompt and immediate protection that muni cical laws throw around the citizens.

Sw Francisco, May 15.—Our market bas presented few or no new features of interest duriog the p: Heavy importations of leading and misc us came to hand early in the week, which of themselve: had s depressing ‘influence on’ prices. Trade, however, opened amisingly at firet, aud on Monday, Tuesday, and ‘edrescay, jobbers sold to a considerable exteat, but the close of the week has, on the contrary, been exceedingly dull, and business unusually depressed’ Money has been ecarce, and country merchants have exhibited some dis. inclination, as they have previously done, to buy to any further extent than is suffic for immediate wants. ‘The country will buy in all the spring to the same extent bably as a Meade years, but stocks are so large, with the prospect of farther accessions, that we do not look for avy material variation from present low prices, and we fear that trade will not exbibit that burtle and animation which we were lately inclined to think would characterize it duricg the spring Merchants at home are only beginning te realize the fact that they | have over traced this sear, and that their shipments 0 California from the Fastern States, having been gnided only bys wild spirit ef speculation, and not with a due re- gard to the consumption of the State, must resul! in losses to the owners, or present so small a mar profit, aa to discourage further ventures for some time to ccme. The prosperous business trensacted last year, and the profitable and ready sales that were then effected, have peen t 30 tempting for them, and they have made no | allowance for the undue expansion of trade that is aure | to succeed such a season, Stocks of all our leading ar- | ticles are consequently exceedingly heavy and unwieldly. Towards the cwse of the week flour has not been so firm. The dsily reports will show the changes which the article has uudergore. The fluctuations may by con- sidered .neidental, and althcueh the +tock is large, yet ‘We do Lot believe that the leading mud favorile brands’ of American flovr will recede below 810 again daring the | summer. The consumption is large, stimulated by the present low prices, and the ordinary waata of the trace will greduaily reduce the quantity that is now on haud. In provisions we no‘e that there 1s a downward ten- deney in pork. bzms, butter, and lard, Butter and ches:e are firm; ‘he latter is scarce and advancing. Mess pork bes been sold at $22, and clear ut $25. Gvod bams, ia | Hight or muslin ecvera, have sold at 19 Prime batter bas brought 82%4¢ ; lard, in kegs, 163g¢°, and in tla, 18%. Most cf the other kinds of provisions have like- wire experienced @ decline, the end of which it is hard te | rediet, MGasiN.—The manifestation of a larce demsnd. daring the last few days, for barley, for tke interior, has¥slightly acvanced prices. Chile prime har sold at 2c. a 2c. Osts bave also shared in the improvement; sales of East- ern bave been made at 23sc. Mostof the corn here is unsound and large sales have been made at 1%c a 1c. Wheat is inactive, owing to the low price of flour; and bran is not much inquired for. Rice —The rice market continues very mnch depressed. We have casually allude? prev.onsly to the very large | stocks of this article now here, and it is believed that fur- ther additions may be daily anticipated, many vessels be ing looked for from Chiwa that heve all more or less rice on board Until shipments of the article cease, we eannos look for a change in price: Gcwxy Bacs.—In guppies there has been no movement, | which is rather owing to the laguishing state of trade | at present. WInss AxD Liquors of all kinds are very quist, and the | stocks are ample. The price of beer is somewhat lover | at present, but the wants of the summer will advance prices. not only in malt liquors, but aleo in all classes of rench wines ard liqueurs. Caxpies —Adamantine, in desirable sized boxes, have | been sold at 27¢ his article ts slow ard sure, and theze | hsa not been much variation within the week. Dry Goops are very quiet. Stocks are very large. Boots and shoes dull, and sales difficult to effect at home cost. Hanpwane axp Myrars are also very much depressed. | ealits are very fully supplied by their own importe- ious. Svcars are about the same as our last daily quote- tions . and a good inquiry. Tras slowly. -Favorite branda sell without difficulty; but fegarn are yery low, ani medium brands of Hsvana have been sold at home cost. Corren is firm at the quotations in our prices current. When the wants of the opening spring trade shall have ovr present heavy aed unwieliy stocks, we shall look forward to a enange for the better in prices of nearly all the above a:ticles, This is by no means 0 distant ® prospect ss many imagine, for new outlets for predace are developing themselves every day, sod our coast trade is beginning to take off a considera- ble portion for the new towns springing up above, as weil as for those to which steamers are now plying.

Remarks of President B Young. in the Tabernacle in Great Salt Lake City, March 27, 1863 :— I do not know that I sn speak so that you ean hear me, as you perceive something affect, my throat; I wish, how- ever, to raya few words to you thix morning. I wonld like to say considerable—a good many words, but pera, afew will answer. There are # goodly number in the cougregstien who have veen xequainted with this charch and }irgéom from the rise of it, that knew Jeseph in his first career in the gospel. There are may here that bave been in the chureh for fifteen, rixteea, aud some wor than twenty years. I have been in the church wartirg a few days Of twenty-one years, and there ares conriderable number that I know have been in it longer than 1 have; they knew Joseph; they knew hia from week to week, and from year to year; they knew what he did; they knew how he spuke; they knew the spirit he postessed; they were acquainted with is, It is the same rpirit they posse:s to the present dey—the spirit of Mor- monism—he spirit of the gospel. I will ark thore breth. ren snd those isters if they believe Joseph Smich was @ prophet of God f—if they believe he magnified his call ing? Iwill ack them if Joreph lived and died a prophet of God? ard what would they answer? Every mau and woman knows by tke power of the Holy Ghost; by the spirit they know it; by the light that is in them; for light clezveth to bght, ard truth embraces truth. These pure at. tibutes, ar 1 told you here a few Sabbaths ago, stand upon their own baris; the fabric sustains itself, but falsohood, and that which is built upon it, will, sooner or later, fall How mury witnesres could we bring, men that are upon the islends of the sea, in foreign lauds, sud people +cat tered through the United States, hundseds and thousands in their poverty, who ave not able to gather with the Taek, what would they witness if they were bere to-day? ‘They would tell you, and they would sound it 20 that ail the world might Rear. if they could, that Joseph Smith was a man called cf God to build up his kingdom in the Inst deys, preparatory to the coming of the Son of Man. There are many witnesses here, not only witnesses of Joseph ard bis eareer, but witnesses of the disaffected spirits that have come into this church and gone out in, Are there witrerees of men, trying to rise upand p Joveyh’s place in his day?’ Yes, there are many witnesses tbat many men have tried it. Are there wit- nerses bere, of the rise and fall of men in this kingdom? Yer, plenty of them. Ihave witnessed more than has been pleasing to me. It celights me to aée men come into the church, and magnify the holy priesthood, but it {s a grievous matter to see men turn away from the holy com- mandments delivered unto them, gather to themselves false spirits, follow after a phantom, and be duped by the devil—be ennased by the power of the enemy, and give way to it until they fall It isa source ef regret, but we witness it; we could name many of this class. Leé me ask this congregation, that portion of it that yas, in Jeckron county, ‘and, again thet, portion thet was in Kirtlacd in the days cf Joseph, aud in leaving Kirtland: then those that were in Usldwell end Davis counties, Missouri; then ack those who were ip Neuvoo in his day, ard after he was slain; these portions of my congregation which I have mentioned I Will ask, what has produced yoar persecutions and sor- row? what has been tbe starting poiat of all your af- flictions?

Are ihere not wituerves of this here? Yea, » good porticn of this confregation ere witnesses of these thinge, although many of them never saw Joreph, and were pot personally acqueinted with him. We have Deen persecuted. We have built houses, mada farms, cultivated the land, broken up the wild prairie, and made it like the Garden of Eden. We have fenced, built, and ga’hered substance around us many times, abd as many times bave teen driven from our possessions, uatil we came to this inheritance which we now enjoy in thee valleys of the mountains. Now think « moment, reflect, and Ask yourselves what do we see here? Iam comicg nearer Lome; lam coming to this place. What do we see here? Do wesee dicaflocted spirits here?

But. we bavegot a set of spirits here worse than such a character. When I went from meetirg last Sabbath, my ears were ralutod with an aportate crying in the streets here. J want to know if any one of you who bay? got the spirit of Mormoaim in ‘ou, the rpirit that Joseph and Hyram hed, or that we have bere, would rny, let us hear both cides of the ques tion, let us livten and prove all things. What do soa want to prove? Do you want to prove tbat an old apostate, who has been cut off from the church thirteen times for lying, iv apything worthy of notice? I heard that a cer- fain gentlemen, a picture maker in this city, when the boss would have moved away the wagon ia which this Spoxtate wos standing, became violent with them, saying le: this wan alone, these are saints that are pecreeuting (sneeringly ) We want such men to go to California, or any where they choove. I say to those persons, you must not court persecution bere, lest you get so much of it you will not know what to do with it. Do not court persecution. We bave known Gladden Bishop for more than twenty years, avd know him ty be o poor, dirty curse. Here is nister Vilate Kimball, Brother Heber’s wife, bas borne more from that man than asy other woman on eatth could bear; but she won't beer it sgain.

From 0: regon: The Oregon newspapers are destitute of interest. From the Portland of May 2, we take the subjoiaed notice of the markets, w) the only item of interest in business, owing in a measure to the immense stocks of goods which passed through thia place into the interior ; another reseon may be assigned—there have been no pack trains in from the mines for several weeks. Provieions—The market is completeiy unsettled, and prices merely nominal, owing to the fact that shipments are made from San Francisco on owners’ account, or they are purchased on shert time; consequently on the return of each steamer parties have instructions to cle: out their consignments, or such circumstances our re; business men touch the article very sparingly. Pork—We have been advised of @ sale of clear pork om Eaturday, at $42, Flour has been freely taken within the last few days; in fact, the market has been stripped bare of all that oan’ be hed at $7 60, with @ very limited supply, which is not likely to be increased for a fortnight.

It is expected to have the new boat ready to run in sixty daye. The engines have been procured and workmen en- gaged for the enterprise. Tur XEw Territory or WasHINGTON.—The citizens north of Columbia river are now separated from Oregon Terri- tory, and a territorial government is extended over them, under the name of the Territory of Washington. The north of Columbia is naturally separated from the Wills. mette Valley, as well as from the Rogue river, Umoqua and Southern Oregon. Their isolated conditicn led them early toact in the matter of a separate territorial organize tion; their efforts were seconded by # memorial of thelact Legislative Assembly of Oregon, and bave received, through the exertions and influence of Gen. Lane, the crowning consummation of their desires. That they have bad more sccomplished for them by our delegate then they could expect, they are free to acknonledge.
