So far, be has not suc- ceded in obtaining any satisfaction from Comenfort, and Mt ts currently reported here that the Mexican government has informed hin that so long as the Spanish squadron remains in Vera Cruz, no communication on the subject ‘will be entertained. A few copies of the Monitor have Feached ue, in which the editors handle Spain without gtoves, and heap on ber all kinds of ridicule. Some of the Havana papers have undertaken to refute the articles fp qnestion, but are very careful not to quote the attack fm full. The other division of the &ymnish squadron is still bere, waiting orders to sail, and tf things should turn out ‘adverse to our diplomacy, the “ greasers’’ will certainly Be taught a good lessom.

Spain is still a great country, aud the Bpaniards a powerful people.

This search, for a part of the distance, would carry him through the unsettled, and afterward’ through a corner of the settled parts of Culifornia. He approached these set- tlements i the winter of 1845-6. Aware of the critical state of affairs between the United States and Mexico, and determined to give no cause of offence to the authorities of the province, with commendable prudence he halted his coufmand on the frontier, one hundred miles from Monterey, and proceeded alone to that city to exp! object of his coming] to the commandant gener and to obtain permission to go to the valley of Joaquim, where there was game fer bis men and grass for his horses, and no inhabitants to be mol nee. Thedeaye was granted; ched the desired spot for re fore he d information from the Ameri expresses from our Consul at Monterey, tro was preparing to attack him with a rge fantry, upon the pret tic mission, he was exciting the Ameri revolt. In view of this danger, and to be in a condition to repel an attack, he then took’ a position on « mountain overlooking Monterey, at a distance of thirty miles, entrenched it, raised the flag of the United states, and with his own men, sixty-two in number, awaited the ap- preach of the commandant general. From the 7th to the 10th of March, Colonel Fremont and his little band maintained this position. General Castro did not approach within attacking distance, and Colonel Fremont, adhering to his plan of avoiding all col- lisions, and determined neither to compromit his ment nor the American settlers ready to join hazards, if he had been attacked, abandoned bi and commenced his march for 0) route to return to the United Sta from the Mexicans to be passed, he yielded to the wishos of some of hix men who desired to Temain the country, discharged them from his service, and refused to receive others in their stead, so cautious was he to avoid doing anything which would compromit the American settlers or give even a color of offence to the Mexican authorities, He pursued bis march slowly and leisurely, as the sta of his men and horses required, until the iniddle of May, and had reached the northern ‘shore of the greater Tia: math lake, within the limits of the Oregon Territory, wh he found his furth in that direction obstructed by imp: mnountains and hostile Indians, who had been excited against him by General Castro, had killed and wounded tour of his men, and left him no re- Pp either in p or on bis march, At the kame time, informatiog reached him that General Castro, in addition to his Indian allies, q with artillery and eavalry, at the head of hundred men; that «bey Were passing arou of the Bay of San Frandisoo to 2 rendezvous on the north side of it, and that the American settlers in the valley of the Sacramento were comprehended in the scheme of de- struction meditat ainst bis own part Under these circumstances, he determined to turn upon his Mexican pursuers, an¢arek safety both for his own party and the American settlers, not merely in the defeat of Castro, but in the total overthrow of the Mexican 1 thority in Caljuenia, and the establishment of an ind pendent geyermment in th nsive department.

The declaration was made, and le was selected to take the chief direction of affairs. The attack on Castro was the next object. He was at a, au entrenched post on theapper or south side Bay of San Franciseo, with 468 men and two pieces artillery. A circuit of nyore than a hundred miles must be traversed to reach him. — On the 6th of July the pursuit was commenced, by a body of 160 mounted ritle- men, commanded by Colonel Fremont ia person, who, in . arrived atthe American settlements on the Americanos. Here he learnt that Castro had ta Clara, and was retreating south towards Cindadde los Amgeles, (the eity of the Angels.) the seat of the "Gorernor General of the Culifornias, and distant 400 miles, It was instantly resolved on to pursue him to that place. At the moment of departure the gratifying intelligence was received that war with blexico had com- menced: that Monterey had been taken by our naval force, and the flag of the United States there raised on the 7th of July; and that the fleet would co-operate in the it of Castro and his forees, The flag of independ- was hauled down, and that of the United States hoisted, amidst the hearty greetings and to the groat joy of the American settlers and the forces under the oom- mand of Colonel Fremont. The combined pursuit was rapidly continued; and on the 12th of August, Commodore Stockton and Colonel Fremont, with a detachment of marines from the squadron and some riflemen, entered the f the Angels, with. out resistance or objection; the rnor General, Pico, the Commandant*General, Castro, and all the joa wut thorities, having ted and dispersed.

Advices from Toronto inform us that the lower house of the Canadian Parliament have passed the bill chartering the Transatlantic Telegraph Company, This is no more than might have been expected from such an intelligent legislative body.

The returns for May do not show favorably. The falling off in net receipts ia the first six months of the pre- sent fiscal year is equal to thirty-three per cent. Erie was sold to some extent at the first board, almost entirely on time, and closed a little heavy. New York Central Railroad is well sustained in the face of the bear sales. There is now no doubt but that the August dividend will be four percent. Michigan Southern and Michigan Cen- tral opened and closed firm at our quotations. Cleveland and Toledo was dull and depressed to-day. Wisconsin Lake Shore Railroad sold at 7034 per cent, but only five shares were offered. The July dividend will be four per cent, incash.
