Gen. Kearney, at Governor of California
has given public notice that ho was instruc
ted by the President of the United States, to
take chargo of the Civil Government. He
assures the nbabitants free toleration in re
ligion, protection of rights, property, &o.,
aad that it is tho intention of the United
States to provide for California with the least
possible delay, a free government, similar to
her other territories. All inhabitants are at),
wilved from allegiance to Mexico, and consid
ered as citizens of the United Suites. Those
who oppose the Government wiafcbe treated
us enemies. Those entitled to remuneration
(or losses will receive it.
There aro four or five different parties in
tho country, each opposing the other, and in
some instances with much bitterness ; though
all siding together unanimously, both native
and foreign, in one thine that of loudly con
demning the course pursued by Col. Fremont
and the navy under Com. Stookton'a com
mand. Uponsthe arrival of Gen. Kearney over
land he showed his written instructions from
the President of the United Stale to these
two gentlemen, to take poss using of the
country and organize a civil government, aa
he had dono in New Mexico. His authority
howcvir, was set at defiance by the latter.
Col. Fremont proceeded to form a treaty with
the Califorriians after their defeat on the 6th
and Oth of January by the land and naval
forces under command of Gen. Kearney and
Com. Stockton, although awaro of his supe
rior officer being within ten miles of him.
After tho treaty of peace had been made,
Com. Stockton, in opposition to the protest of
ucn. Kearney, proceeded to tho appointment
of Col. Fremont aa Governor, and the nomi
nation of a legislative council for the term
of two years, at a salary of 92,000 per an
num each. This organisation gave great
offence to all the Americans in the Territory,
there not being twelve in the land hut loud
ly condemned it. Sooa after the battle, Gen.
K. started to Monterey, where meeting with
Com. Bhubriok, whoso arrival superceeded
Stockton's command, ho was acknowledged
and saluted aa Governor and Commander in
Chief of the land forces in California, and
an order dispatched immediately to Stockton
and Fremont to appear forthwith at Monte
rey to answer for their conduct. It was be
lieved, that both would be ordered homo un
der charges of improper conduct, as their
proceedings in tho country prior to tho arri
val of Gen. K. had been declared by him
to have been illegal and unwarranted by any
instructions from the home government.

An action of three days duration has ta
ken place between the American forces 7,000
strong under commacd of Gea. Taylor, and
the Mexican forces 18,000 strong under com.
mand of General Santa Anna.
Santa Anna marched from San Louis Po.
tosi upon Gen. Taylor, and tho armies came
together on tho 33d of February.
By reason of the disparity in tho respect
ive forces, Gen. Taylor waa obliged to fall
back, being unable to cope with a force so
vastly superior in point of numbers under
equal circumstances.
During tho days of the 33d and 33d he
continued his retreat, but on tho 34th having
arrived at tho pass of Angostura, he halted
and gave battle.
Taylor's plans appear to havo been ably
concoivod and skillfully executed. Having
decoyed the enemy into tho pass of Angos
tura, ho had prepared a masked lattery for
their reception. Thoy advanoed boldly, and
at a given signal the Amorican herfd ranks fell
upon their faceijdnu a battery or 30 piece
of heavy artillery loaded with grape, open
ed upon their closely wedged ranks. The
effect was terrible.
Tho engagement lasted for some timo. The
loss of the Americans 1,000 killed, that of
the Mexicans between 4,000 and 6,000 kill
cd, 0,000 Mexicans also deserted from tho
army. Tho 'remaining 8,00 aro said to have
fled in tho direction of San Luis Potoai.-f-Santa
Anna immediately departed for the
city of Mexicg.
Tb skirmishes of. the first two layjwe

day however appears to, have .resulted In. a
glorious victory on the part of Taylor oyer
the Mexicans. The city of . VoraJJruz has
been taken posession of thy the army under
command of General Scott. They are now
quietly occupied in starving out the Castle.
Tiie Mexican force in the Castle is report

, About tha middle af Dee. last, the U. S.
eaeasrs to Santa Fe, discovered evidences of
aa iuteation on the part of certain person
to exeitaa revolt, and somo arrests were mado
aad en the escape of a few persons from tho
Province, it quieted down again.
January 14th Governor Bent left Santa
Fe, for Taos, on the 10th he and five others
wero murdered most barberouely aad in a
cruel and disgusting manner at "Fernando do
Taos," several other Americans were butch
ered in the vicinity.
On the 31st, information reached Santa Fe
that the insurgents were in arms and on
their march for the city. Col. Price left to
meet them with three hundred and fifty mea,
on the 34th, they met thecnemy fifteen hun
dred in number at a Canada, and after an
engagement of about throe hours, defeated
thcjn with a loss to the enemy of thirty-six
killed ; wounded not known.
American loss, two' killed, aix waaaxitvi.
The enemy retreated.
On the 38th, Capt. Bunrwin joined with
Company G. 1st Dragoons. 30th Col. Priee
marched to Loya, and reached there in the
afternoon, when learning that about eighty
of the enemy were posted in the strong Can
on of Embudo, ho sent Capt. Burgwin in
that direction with 180 men, same day Capt.
Burgwin discovered tho enemy between six
and seven hundred strong, posted on the rocky
and woody declivities, which form the defile
of Embudo, after a sharp conflict the enemy
retreated precipitately, leaving twenty kill
ed and sixty wounded. The charge ot tha
1st Dragoon waa most gallant, aa they were
gallantly led by Capt. Bun-win.

aad on the 81st was joined by Col. Priee, aad
all advaaoed to Chemise!. Snd February,
entered tha valley of Taos, on the 3rd at Far.
aando, and arrived at, tho Pueblo de Taos
where the enemy was strongly fortified ; af.
tar firing a few allots and shells tho attack
waa delayed to tho next day for the bagage
irain u arnre.
Feb. 4, attack renewed, and the church
became tho point of attack and obstinate de
fence, tho church was breached and carried
by storm, Captain Burgwin being killed in
tho door. The number of force engaged in
the defence of tho town, was from six to be v.
en hundred Mexicans. Loss, 150 killed
wounded not known.
American force 450, seven killed and 45
wounded, of whom manyvlied, among jlhem
Lieut. Van Vaulkcnburgh, of the infantry.
All the leaders wero cither killed in the
actions or hanged aftorwards, by sentence of
a court martial except one who mado-bis es
cape from the held;
These well struck blows and rapid move
ments restored peace to the province of New
Mexico, and it is to be supposed that tho news
of the capture of Chihuahua by Gen. Wool,
defeat of sauta Anna's army by Taylor, and
tho capture of Vera Cruz by Gen. Scott,
will not tend to mako the New Mexicans
desire another revolt.
There is somo reason to supposo that tho
U. S. forces may be able to reach Mexico
(City) beforo tho commencement of tho rainy
season, if so, tho war will soon bo at an end.
but no one need supposo that anything short
of tho occupation oi tho Capitol will bring
those vain people to their senses.

by ten fine swarthy Chenooks. Tito distance
raced waa from tho ship to the shore, about a
quarter of a mile, when a signal of "off, off''
being given the "tug ot war" commenced,
and thr contest continued very equal half
way ; but tho canoo then got a bead and
kept the lead, until tho happy Indians readi
