unfortunately, the Central Government ol
Mexico cannot afford (hern, destroyed as her
resources are, by internal factions and cor

to promote their own ipteiests, and op pi css
the people. Under the flag of the United
States, California will be free from nil such
troubles and expenses, consequently the
country will rapidly advance and improve,
both m agriculture and commerce* as of
course the revenue laws will be tlie same in
California as in all other part* of the United

With the great interest and kind feelings

coming, but with extreme violence. In this
horrible sitimtinn the plastering began in fall
from the Ceiling; the cues which aro*c ftom
the neighboring house* augmented the hor

when I thought the city would he swallowed
