While re flecting upon these two evils he was arreated by or- der of General Parrodi, coofined a close prisoner, and is now a prisoner in the city of Mexi- co, where @ court-martial bas been ordered for bis particular benefit. The probability is that he will receive executive clemency by the time the court have finished their work. Such ought not to be the case fora more corrupt, blackhearted devil never was allowed to abase the power of authority. His career while Governor of Lower California, and his uncompromising hostility towards everything that, had the name of American connec'ed with 't, was a target for his my and power. There was no pity at the bottom of bis grief. He had an apparent mo- tive and cue for this passion, which was measared by circumstances, be it large or ainail.
