First in order is the Bermana-Dillon affair ; and of its importance I leave you to jadge. Me. Patrick Dillon {s the Consul of France at ‘this port. He is shrewd and energetic, and withal enter- Aains & bitter Iatred of everything American. He puts ‘on all the sirs of an ambassador: and since he came in Collision wit! fe United States courts, abont a year ago, be has made Jsimself particularly obnoxious by his siate ‘ments of the prinishment which his master, the Emperor, ‘would give t'r Americans for the indignity offered to the Person of ike Consul. In tho European mail, arriving about @ forts) it ago, came a copy of one of Consal Dil Yon’s letters « the French government, an extract o which is ax i lows I have re watedly called the attention of the Depart went to the meeptions (mecompirx) to which one ix ex- im sewing funds from France to California, in order a banab oJ nf pone Lae A ganization courts, a diffienity, Bmowntiang aimvort to an impossibility, of meeting a pro away not be menaced each day with sesing bh bt off escon contested.

It results trom it that the Californian constitution, interdicting the porsession of real estate to foreigners not resident in the country, such of these foreigners as might apy would find themselves exposed to the most de, le de- ceptions, (meccmptes,) such as the contestation of their title to property, or even the confiscation of thetr estates. ‘The business men and capitalists whom this information may interest pprised that they can have @ perusal of the note of the Consul of France ‘at the office of the Se- cretary of Commerce, No. 2 Place de la Bourse, every day, from 11 to 4 o'clock. The amount of French capital invested in real estate in this city is between fifty and sixty millions of francs. It is managed by agents residing here, and among these agents Messrs. Samuel and Lucien Hermann, creoles o Louisiana, are quite conspicuous. Considering himself egrieved by the Consul’s course, Mr. Samuel Hermann called upon Mr. Dillon, at Mr. Davidson's banking house, and showing him the letter, requested an answer, whe ther or not he wasthe author of it. The Consul had pro- bably expected an attack from Mr. Hermann, and had 6¢ cured the protection of a couple of police officers. He refused to look at the letter; and thereupon Mr, Hermann gave hima blow on the face with his open hand, Mr. Hermann was arrested, taken before the Recorder, and fined $25. Mr. Dillon wears the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, and his countrymen insisted that the insult which had been offered must be wiped out by blood. He sent a challenge to Mr. Hermann, which was accepted. Mr. Hermann ex- pressed a preference for swords, and Mr, Dillon's seconds agreed that swords should be the weapons used, The duel was to take place on Sunday morning, the 8th inst., and every vehicle in town was taken up by parties anxious to see the promised sport. At the last moment, however, Mr. Dillon declined fighting with swords, because, as he said, he was un- skilled in the use of that weapon, whilst his anta- gonist was known to be skilful at fence. And here the matter rests for the present, although we are promised the vengeance of the French Emperor for Mr, Hermann’s ult upon the consul. Another excitemeit sprung up when Page, Bacon & Co. commenced @ suit against Mr. I. C, Woods, (of the house of Adams & Co.,) and Mr. A. A. Cohen, for the sum of $400,000. In an affidavit which accompanied the com- plaint, Judge Chambers set forth the well known fact that there are descriptions of gold dust known as “poor’? and “good,” and that the value is ascertained by the general appearance of the article, its color, &c., and not from any assay. He then says:— He is informed and fully believes, that on or about the first day of December, A. 1, 1850, thesaid Alfred A. Cohen and the raid Iraiah C. Woods entered into a fraudulent and corrupt conspiracy and agreement with each other to cheat, swindle and defraud the plaintiff partners afore- said, out of their property and estate, by fraudulently selling to them the inferior gold dust as aforesaid, at a price greater than fts real value; and said agreement was not limited or confined to any definite number of such proposed fraudulent transactions, but was general and unlimited in its scope, and contemplated the utter bank- raptey and ruin of said plaintiffs as its only limit, and as this affiant is informed and believes, ‘And this affiant is further informed and believes that the said defendants, in pursuance of said corrupt conspiracy, did, in divers days and times, during the uid period, sell to the said plaintiffs, at their said. several offices, the in- gold dust aforesaid to the amount of two hundred nd ounces, the same having been previously so J in color and general appearance by 1, chemical and other acids, used and practised by said de- fendant as to reremble in and general Appearance gold dust of superior value aforesaid, and in further oid Of said fraudulent transactions and sales, the said defen- dants caused the said inferior dust so changed ax afure- said to be delivered into the hands of miners employed in said mines, and into the hands of prrsons disguised as miners, who, in person, and by the fraudulent procure- ments ofthe defendants, effected the said sales to the plaintiffs at their said offices, and such sales were made to the plaintiff of said dust for more than its real va- e; and in consequence of the fraudulent contrivances , and the pecuniary loss directly sustained by said plaintiffs in consequence of said fraudulent sales, amount, as this afliant is informed and believes, to the sum of $400,000, Wood and Cohen were arrested, and required to give Vail in the sum of $420,000. A host of lawyers are engag ed in the ense, and the devolopements open rich. Mr. Haight, (of Page, Bacon & Co.,) denies having anything to do with the suit, and says the lawyers (Halleck, Peachy, Billings and Park,) are at the bottom of it. The newspapers are filled with the ‘cards’? of the different parties, and the whole thing promises endless crimina- tion. The Supreme Court haa rendered a decision in the case of Adams &,Co., and their creditors, that bankers cannot go into insolvency. The effect of this is that a few credit- ors who have attached will take all the asseta, while up- wards of 8,000 depositors with the house here and its branches thronghout the mines, will not recei cent. The failure of Adams & Co. in California is total, and it will be long before we can recover from its effects We have important news from Lower Californi For some time past Melendrez (the man who drove Walker's filibusters out of the country,) has been in the exercise of the office of commandant of the frontiers, and haa proved himself an eficient officer. He has cleared the frontiers of the cattle thieves, which have so long infested that part of the country. His kindness to Americans has rendered him very popular with them, and an active trade had sprung up. Vessels were run- ning regularly between San Franciseo and Lower California—taking down fancy goods, and bringing up salt, (which i* very abundant there) sulphur, pearl shells, &e. Very recently Lieut. Pujol was appointed commandant of the frontiers, and he set out from La Paz with a force of about fifty men. When he arrived near Santa Tomasa, he sont to Melendrez, and requested an interview, which was granted. As soon as Melendrez came to Pujol’s camp he waa arrested, and informed that he bad been tried at La Paz, and sentenced to death for treason. Melendrez remonstrated, but it was of no use. He was taken out and abot, and his body left upon the plains, Pujol then put forth a proclamation from which I translate the following points All foreigners who cross the line di Upper and Lower California, (anless they are furnished with pase: ports signed by the Mexican Consul at San Francisca) will be shot. All foreigners now in the Territory, by the tolerance of Melendres, will leave immediately, ‘and failing to do so, will be «hot. The introduction of ‘arms and ammunition by foreigners will be punishable with death. Persons who made common cause with Melender will be shot. Foreign veasels at anchor in any roadastead, with passengers, will sail forthwith, and in case of non compliance will be regarded and treated as pirates Throughout the South the promulgation of this pro- clamation has created feelings of great indignation, A number of American citizens reside near the frontiers, and should any harm result to them the consequences Will be fearful. Let an Amorican be killed by reason of this proclatnation—and Pujol gives authority to rancheros and major-domos to carry out its orders—and five hnn- dred men will «pring to arms for revenge. Assevere shock of an earthquake was felt at Los An- geles a few days ago, Men were thrown to the ground, shelves emptied of their goods, and every house in town more of less injured. It wax preceded by a terrifle noise, resembling, as one witness observed, the explosion of a powder The houses in Los Angeles are of only one story, and are built of adobe, with walls two feet thick. Had as severe @ shock been experienced here, it would bave shaken down every brick building in the city. Duels are not uncommon, and cowhiding affairs are “two numerous to mention.’” The latest one took place on Saturday, at Donneville, between Mr. Lippincott, of the State Senate, and Mr. Levis, The latter was shot through the heart.
