      IRA ^ CE . THK AStEHBLT . On Friday the Assembl y was engaged with the debate on the question of ire own dissolution . The result of a division was the adoption of M . Ratteau ' s project for a speedy dissolution , by 400 votes against 396 , and its reference to a committee . The quettion thus decided is equivalent to the first reading of a bill in the British parliament . It sanctions the principle of the measure , and it is cansidered here that the Assembly cannot eo back on the question , hut must fix an early day for the dissolution . Whether that e ^ v be the one fixed in ihe project of M . Katteau , the " 19 : h March , or that propos-d in -he other project of MM . Pagnerre and Bixiothe 4 th Mavis of compara tively littl e

      conse-, , qutne ' e , now that ihe principle of the pr oject for a tspeedv di « olu ' . ion is decided . „ m „» „; ,, > , » The next step consequent on the vote o last night will he the appointmer . t ef a « w comaittee to report on the proposition of M . Ratteta . That report Lnot be broug ht up ia b « «>« " 5 * ° f *™ *< £ after * li < ch the project must be read mrie imes vith intervals of fiie days , thus whatever expedition boused the clause cannot be passed in much less than four « eekt , and it is therefore presumed that the elections cann > 't take place before the beginning of April . A prrj-ctvras accordingly presented to-day by MM . Wollowski de La ? teyrie and Gtn . rd , proposing April 10 for the dissolution of the present As-Eembly and the convocation of the next .

      The members of the National Assembly met on Monrlav in their respective Bureaux to examine the proposition of M . Ratieau relative to the dissolution of the Assembly . The most perfect accord prevailed oa the occasion between ihe Moutsgnards and the rspresentaikes of the Palais Satnnal , and both concurred in rejecting all the propositions tending to fix a date for the dbsolut ' on of the As . emhly . They presented a majority of about SCO , and all the commissioners elected to reiwrt on the pjoiiositi-jn , win the exception of one , were averse to it . Thote commissioners acre- hiestrs B . oax Lavergne . Billault , Duaont di Busmc , St Gaudens , Jalts Favre , flavin , Marie , Degousee , Pierre Buor-spisrie , Sarrans , Grevv , Lignier , Licbtenberger , Coaibarel de Letval , and R ? i ; nard .

      On Monday M . Armand Marrast was re-elected Prc & ident of the Assembly , by a majority of 477 against 221 , his competitor being M . Dufaure ; hut as it was previously announced that M . Dufaure declined the candidateship , the co . uest was nominal . WHAT NEXT ? The french Government is about to undertake a great maritime expedition , and there can be no doubt that it is for the Roman States , and with the Object of reinstating the Pope in his dominions . The workmen and seamen at Cherbourg and Toulon are working day and nig ht . Troops are embarking , and Waraga'inst Roman liberty' is said to be the order of the dav !

      TKE BL'OJJ A PARTUS . The cousins of the President are likely to give him some trouble . Pierre Buonaparte has openly joined ihe Extreme Left . The mini & try detired to remove M . Napoleon Buonaparte , the son of Prince Jerome , from Pa : is , by inducing him to accept an embassy , but he successively refused the mission to Brussels , the Hague , and London , and that of Constantinople ! . He has resolved to reraain on the spot to tike advantage of events . PERSECUTION OF TH K TilCE REPUBLICANS .

      The Attorney Seneialof the ltepublic is actively engaged in prosecuting the most violent of the Club orators . M . Barnabe Chauvelet , President of the Club of ihe Keiae Blanche , was convie'ed , by default , on Tuesday week , of having insulted the Commissary of Police appointed to watch the proceedings of the clnb . He was sentenced to imprisonment for 0 "e mosth , and to pay a fine of 1 , 000 franc . - . M . Barnabe Chauvelet has flsd from justice .

      M . Bernard , one of the most popular of the Socialist orators , was likewise convicted on the same day , for having , in a speech delivered in the Club of the Rue de Chabrol , made a libellous attack oa General Lamoriciere He was sentenced to imprisonment for one month and to pay a fine of 100 francs . The trials by court-martial of the insurgents of June have recommenced in Paris . Two shoe , makers , * notorous for the violence of their political opinions , ' have been acquitted , the evidence having been insufficient to convict them of the fact of their having taken up arms during the insurrection .

      M . Barthelemy , who was tried by court-martial in Paris a few days since , and sentenced to hard labour for life , for having taken an active part in the insurrection of June , effected his escape from the military prison of the Rue Cheiche-Midi en Friday night week . He was joined in his fli g ht by Dr Lacarabre , an intimate associate of Blanqui . Lacambre had been arrested in consequence of having taken an active part in the attack oa the National Assembly on the 15 th of May , A strict search is being made for the fugitives .

      The Club Valentino , of which M . Bernard was President , was closed on Monday nisrtit by the authorities . A considerable crowd , which assembled fiortly afterwards , was dispersed by a patrol , com . posed of troops of the line and the parde mobile This is a movement in a rig ht direction . —Times . — [ The truculent Times ever rejoices at the persecution of the advoca tes of justice . That vile journal is the curse and disgrace of England . ] The Club of Travailteurs at Toulon hat also been dosed by the authorities .

      FERSECTJTMN OF THK PRESS . The Gazette de France , the organ of the Leg itimists , was seized by order of the Attorney General of the Republic on Thursday night week , and the Peuple , M . Proudhon's journal , was seized on Fridav .

      THE RED REPUBLIC . A party calling theaiselves ' Les Jeunes Montagnards' have started into existence . They have announced their intention to found a club to be called the Club de la Place Cambrai . The Times of Saturday contained a loirg account of a meeting of one of the ultra-democratic Clubs oa the previous Wednesday , from which we give the following extracts : — "The more yiolent portion of the Republicans held a meeting last ni g ht at the Salle Valentino , in the Faubourg St . Honore . The club was presided over by a parson now notorious in Paris agitation , of the nams of Bernard , who , it appears , is s schoolmaster at Belleville . He has , I believe , already borne testimony either to the sincerity of his

      opinions , which are Socialist as well as Republican , or to his love for notoriety , in the fact of more than ioae prosecution , fine , and imprisonment for the violence of his language . He is a man about 1 thirty-five years of age , of middle size , thin , pale , ivrith " high cheekbones , with his long blackbair J falling down behind , and Ids upper lip concealed in : a thick moustache ; in a word , the very type of a being discontented with his lot , and burning with desire to exchange his quiet but useful calling for one of t more stormy character . His voice * ras rather husky , his gesticulation theatrical ; but his language was fluent , and often sarcastic . He took the chair at eight o ' clock , and loss before that ' hour the crawd outside the door waiting for admittance was considerable .

      The spacious salle mi g ht contain about 2 , 000 persons , hut little more than one-third , including those in the surrounding galleries and boxes , was filled . The majority of the auditors appeared to be composed of workmen , and there was a good sprinkling of blouses , Three or foar soldiers in uniform were presint , a few National Guards , and about twenty or thirty of the Garde Mobile , wearing , however , the forage cap as the onlr part of their uniform . The small sum of three sous was required from each as he entered—no doubt to defray the expenses of the numerous gaslights . The president took his place on the platform usually occupied by the orchestra when balls and musical entertainmeat ' s

      axe given in the salle . On the same platform , and behind the chair , were , either seated or standing , the members of the club , or those who were to address the meeting , and amongst whom the blouses predominated . The president opened the proceedings with a long speech , and for about an hour entertained the auditory with explanations of the proceedings taken against him by General Lamoriciere for a libel Whether from a wish not to aggravate the caseor

      , taught by experience , he was rather moderate in the language he used towards the General , and his sarcasm was expressed in so artful a manner as while it amused the audience , yet left him protected ' He admitted the talents , the bravery of General Lamoriciere , but they were not greater than displayed by every soldier in the French armv . The General ow £ d bis promotion , he said , perhaps partly to Ms sword , but certainly much to the favour he found in the eyes of the French Princes in Africa . Had

      Geceral Lamoriciere been what he wasm 1 832 , > is not probable that he would now wear on n « breast so many decorations , or display on W shoulders the epaulettes of General . JJ »* £ , tad he continued to remain the ^ j ^^ tvl pere Efntin ^ Uje Jj « * £ ^ ^ T ? tta " :-tciai i 5 «& »¦»*¦ He h ' d for - ! « „ his le iof Socialism . He then alluded Lthe " ' flS newspaper , and point ^ out the difference between * bat it now is and what it once wlTin the davs of Louis Philippe . Tjienno language was too strong to stigm atise the contemptible tyrants and profligate persons who oppressed the not word of

      Spanish nation . Now it has a censure tor the Government that sent its agent to Madrid whose sympathies towards those same tyrants are Ions known to the world . He referred to the work of M . Guizot , De la Democratic eu France , and quo ' tedfrom it the sentence ( p . U ) insisting on the necessity of extirpating the fatal idea that the word democracy , must be proclaimed everywhere , and aloud , before anything like government can be established , or before any party can say it exists . He asked ' how could that man talk of dignity who was one of the first to join the barbarian s , the Cossacks and the Prussians , who invaded Prance , and massacred her sons while fig hting for the independence of their countrv—he who was the ready and

      unblushing apologist of the vast sjs tem ^ f corruption which at length overthrew his master , and nearly ruined France , who resisted every attempt to reform the political condition of the nation ? ' His invectives aeainst M . Guizit were terrible , and they were received with applause by the greater part of the meeting . The delicate question of the amnesty was then touched on by Bernard . The people , he said , were now the sovereigns in France : it is now

      their turn to dictate their will ; and the day they uraraon the President to pardon their erring brothers ( lews freres egans ) of June , that day prompt obedience must be rendered to their will . Many of the arrested had acted under a delusion ; but many , very many , were innocent . He spoke of Barhes , and bestowed on him the highest eulogies ; he described him as a man possessed of all the civic virtues of an ancient Greek or Roman Republican ! He turned ihe National Assemblv into ridicule for

      wastii s the public time in trifling discussion ? , and leaving the vast interests of the nation unattended to . Yet , while he censured such a waste of time , he denounced the agitation now going on to compel it to a dissolution ; and he described it as the result of a conspiracy between the Legitimists and Orleanists , who bad sworn to make a crusade against the Assembly for its Republican character . Such as it was , the Assembly was , at all events . Republican , and the same could not he said of the Legislature , which would , probably , begin its career by the restoration of the Empire or the Monarchy . Above all , he cautioned the Republican party to be

      on their guard against those who would excite thera to a violation of public tranquillity . Those who leave them such ptrnicious counsels were the secret agents of their enemies— Royali .- . ts of every shade , and aristocrats . He denounced those who would meditate emeutes or insurrections . Pacific agitation was their plan ; it ^ as thus that Socialism recruited its disciples—a Propaganda , but one of reason and not of the sword . Let them reserve the ' r strength for the hour when the Republic was in danger ; and when any attempt was made to overthrow it , or change the form of g overnment the people had g iven to themselves , then , indeed , they would all descend inte the streets .

      This sentiment was loudly applauded , the audience shouting Vive la Republique . Several other persons spoke , after which the proceedings were brought to a close , by the President announcing a banquet on Sunday and another on Monday . The one intended to be celebrated on the 5 th had been postponed . It was also mentioned that persons were stationed at the doors to receive ihe contributions of those who were willing to assist their t rothers in distress . The' brothers ' were Cbamulot , and another named Muriel , prosecuted for seditious language in one of the clubs . The meeting separated about eleven o ' clock , and , it must be said , ia the most orderly and peaceable

      manner . The Club met again on Saturday evening , when , save the correspondent of the Times , ' the President , Bernard , was more violent that ever in his denun . ciation of conspirators against the Republic . In this term are , of course , comprised all moderate men of every shade of politics . The probability that he will not be long at liberty , as a fourth prosecution is hanging over his head for subversive language in the clubs , may perhaps have embittered his feelings . He seems at ail events desirous of making the most of his tine . A duel has mst taken place between Count d'Alton-Shee , ex-peer of France , and M . Charles Dele .- ciiiZ :-, principal editor of the journal La Revolution Democraiiquc et Sociale . M ; d'Alion-Shee was wounded in the hand , and his antagonist in the

      arm . EtEcnoN * of a Dpmocrat . — M . Favetier , a Republican , has just been elected for the Upper Rhine . His opponents were three candidates of the moderate party . He had been Prefect and was dismissed . A letter from L'Orient mention ? that 130 of the insurgents of June confined in that harbour , hare been set at liberty .

      GERMANY . AUSTRIA . —The Austrian diet resumed its sittings at Kerrasier on the 3 rd inst . In the sitting of the 4 th inst ., the Minister of the Interior , Ilerr Stadion , read an official declaration setting forth the decided objections of the cabinet to the first article of the fundamental law , as lately voted ( at the first reading ) by the Diet . That article , which sets forth that all power proceeds from the people , is denounced by the Austrian cabinet as embodying a principle which has rendered the streets the theatres of the wildest excesses , and which gave rise to the

      murder of Count Latour . Such a principle is incompatible with that of hereditary monarchy . The Diet had not been authorised to call the rights of the crown into question . Miaisters trusted that that objectionable principle would not be sanctioned by the Diet at the second reading . The approval of that article would be considered by ministers as a violation of the basis of the monarchial principle . This announcement created the greatest sensation , and it was at last resolved to adjourn till the 8 th inst ., in order to give members the opportunity of becoming well acquainted with the import and contents of the ministerial declaration .

      The capture of Pesth has created great excitement at Vienna , The correspondent of the Times writes : —Vienna is seemingly tranquil but I have my own reason for believing that this morning ' s intelligence has censed a profound sensation . In the very face of the congratulatory addresses , which cannot fail to pour in , the great maj ui : y of the Viennese is strongly attached to the Hungarian cause . This morning there is a considerable display of military force , and the patrols are more frequent and stronger than usual . ' Hot-Beds of Democracy I' — The correspondent of the Chronicle writes : —According to the journals , the state of the public mind at Gotha is far from satisfactory . That plan , indeed almost all the small states of Germany , are hot-beds of red-V . ot democracy . [ Alas poor Grunticle ! 1

      PRUSSIA . —Th » political trials at Berlin are proceeding . Several workmen have teen sentenced to various terms of imprisonment . The Sifesian Journal of the 5 th contains the fob lowing curious details relative to the composition and projects of the ultra-democrats , and more especially of the central club , or society , calling itself the * Confederation or Union of Justice , ( Bund der Gerechtigkeit ) , of which the directing committee and leaders are . Republicans . The president and principal affiliated members of this dangerous club are known to fe * r , as secrecy is imposed by for . midable oaths , and , it is added , by penalties , which remind us of the old Whemgericht . The Silesian Journal gives , however , a list of names which t would be useless to repeat as none are men publicly known , unless it be those of Harro , Hering ,

      and Mazzini . The object of this secret eonfederaturn is the destruction of all dynasties , and the establishment of a universal Republic ( Welt Rcnvh . lie ) . For this purpose , the ceatril committee commenced establishing lodges as early as March . Upon the first meeting of the Democratic Congress , in May last , at Frankfort , men only of secondary importance , such as Frobel , the companion of Blum , and others , whose violence was their chief reeora . mendation at first and principal causa of defeat afterwards , were chosen . This Congress chose a c ntral permanent committee , of which Zste , of Mtycnce ; Professor Bayrhofer , of Giessen ; Schutte , who became notorious as an agitator at Vienna ; John Ronge , and Germain Metfernich , of Feldkirch , \ eti members . Two months later the leading com mittee was transferred to B ; rlin , where we had proif 0 'its activity and deleterious workings . All minor

      lodges and committees obeyed this central authority , with the exception of that ef Vienna , which bad its affiliations in Hungary . Deputations from the latter , however , came to Berlin , where Kossuth and the Vienna conspirators employed agents and maintained active communications . Facts and undeniable judicial evidence are there to prove that a rising similar to that which took place at Vienna was projected at Berlin , and that numerous foreign agents , especially Poles , were congregated here in readiness , and in hopes of an explosion—which would have hurst fort had not the Imperial general triumphed . Breslau and other Silesian towns , which may be regarded as the hot-bed and stronghold of ultra-de * mocracv , furnished more than a fair quota of members to this Congress and Central Committee . -... ,.... „ j « nmmitt «« nh «« f < tho nantr . ... r » . « rf » .

      Berlin , Halle , Stettin , and almost all Prussian towns , furnished their contingent . If the assertions of gome of the members be true , the whole number of lodtes in different parts of Germany amount to nearly two thousand , which were established by special delegateg , selected for their Republican ardour , and probably for their reckless spirit : among the most zsalous of the latter were , it is affirmed , three German American delegates , named Haas , of Cincinnati ; Krag , of St . Louis ; and Kuhl . of Philadelphia . THK FRANKFORT PAULIAMENT , On the 13 th inst ., came to a decision on the Austrian question . By this decision the central ministry are ampowered to carry on diplomatic negotiations with Austria , just as if it were a foreign

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . ( From the Timet . ) THE CAPTURE OF PE 8 TH . Vibsna , Jan . 7 . —The eleventh bulletin and the twelfth were published last night and this morning . They announce the concentration of the imperial troops ronnd Ofen and Pesth , and the surrender of these two cities . The head quarters of Prince Wmdisch graie were , on the 4 th inst ., at Bia , about ten miles from Ofeh .

      Tbe first corps of the army was stationed at Teteny and Promontor , tfee seeond at Budaro . and the third at Bia and Concurreny . Tbe first corps , under command of Baron Jellachich , met with the Hun garians in the course of its raareh upon Teteny , and a cannonade ensued ; hut when the Imperial troops proceeded to attack the heights on which the Hungarians had placed their batteries , the latter were withdrawn , and the Magyar forces retired upon Promontor .

      The Imperial troops proceeded to approach the two capitals of Hungary . Their manteuvres were not for one moment interrupted , not even by the arrival at head-quarters of a deputation from the Hungarian Diet , offering terras of surrender , and consisting of Count , Loirs Batthiany , the ex-Premier of Hungary , the Bishop af Lonorit g , Cotmt Mailath and M . Deak , formerly a member of the Cabinet . Prince W'indischgratz peremptorily refused to iecelve these gentlemen as a deputation , but he accorded them a private interview , from which Count Baithiany was excluded , and in which they were given to understand that no terms short ot unconditional surrender would be listened to bv

      the Prince . The deputation took this answer back to Pesth , and when the Imperial troops advanced on the morning of the 5 th inst ., ready to attack the two cities of Oieh and Pesth , the two towns surrendered at once . The Magyar forces had eracuated them upon the approaeh of the Imperialists . Kossuth has gone to Drbreczin with his adherents , in order to form a juncion with the troops of General Bern . He took with him the regal insignia of St . Stephen , the Hungarian King .

      The statement of the Vienna mail of the 10 th instant , that Kossuth had fled to Debteczin , with the reg & lia of Hungary and the bank-note pms , is confirmed by the Breslauer Zeitung , which adds that he has been joined b y the committee of Defence , and by those members of the Diet who had declared the throne of Hungary vacant , and that his partisans are some 12 , 000 strong . On the 6 th inst . the 1 st army corps of the Imperial troops left Pesth for Debreczin . Pesth and all its vicinity had been placed under martial law , and it is understood that the leaders of the revolt will all be tried by courtsmartial , and punished with rigour .

      The fortress of Comorn still holds out . The maiden fortress sits on * many waters ; ' in fact , its greatest strength consists in that position . But the Hungarian rivers are now as dry ground ; the ice is equal to any weight ; and thus . perhaps , in a few days we shall have the news of the conquest of Comorn . News from Pesth to the 8 th inst . states that a great many arrests had taken place , those of the Counts Louis Batthyany and Anton Scapari ameng the number . The Ban of , Croatia , Baron Jellachich has taken possession of the palace of Count Carolv .,

      ITALY . ROMAN STATES- —The Supreme Junta had dissolved itself , the only purpose of its existence having been to convoke ihe Constituante . The Pope , by a new brief , had announced a new com mission of government , having at its head Cardinal Ahieri . | The proclamation ef the Constituante took place at Civita , under a salute of 101 guns .

      MAGNIFICENT POPULAR DEMON'STKATir . N * . On the 2 nd , notwithstanding the interne cold , a most imposing demonstration came off at Rome . Towards evening the guards began to gather on the Piazza Venf zia with banners and music . The whole garrison of Rome turned out , pioneers , cannoneers , and all the general camp . The march began by torchlight . Scores of blazing firebrands traversed the Corso , and from all the quarters of the town that long avenue was the conduit of the population towaids the place of rendezvous—the large square del Popolo . Troops of Dragoons opened the procession with brass hands , then came the fourteen standards of the fourteen wards into which

      Rome is divided , followed by crowds of pedestrians . The colours of the Feretti family ( orange and white ) were conspicuous among the flags . . The juvenile regiment of Speranza came next , and then the civic troops in immense force , with their artillery , sappers and miners , with axes , beard , and apron , " six large guns , from the arsenal of St . Angelo , and the whole body of Papal carabineers . For an hour the march kept on , and the disemboguing mass had then filled the whole square and its neighbourhood , which blazed with the li g ht of a thousand torches . < To the Capitol , ' then , was the cry ; and every house in the Corso being lit up , hack rolled the tide of population to

      that immemorial spot . AH the banners were ranged round the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius , and , amid solemn silence and intense cold , all heads being uncovered , the decree convoking the Constitu . ent Assembly was read . Then up rose the Abbate Rumbaldi , and said ;— ' Roman people J Your fathers , from this hill , originated civilisation amid barbarous Europe , and you have to begin the work again this year of our Lord , to rescue Italy from dark intriguers and brutal despots ; and I , as a clergyman fsacerdote di Christo ) , call on you from the Capitol to vindicate your independence and your right to self-government—principles whose root is in the gospel . '

      These words were received with enthusiastic applause , and the orator having recommended the people to observe the calmness and dignity becoming a truly civilised nation , the multitude instantly separated in the greatest order .

      FROSPKCTS OF WAR . Advices from Turin , of the 8 th instant , state that Marshal Radetzski had , it was rumoured , published an order of the day , in which he proclaimed the resumption of hostilities as imminent , and promising to enter Turin at the head of the victorious Croats after two battles . It was also reported that Venice would be attacked . DUCHIES . —The Alba of Florence says , that a grave insurrection had broken out at Piacenza . THK VENETIAN REPUBLIC—UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE .

      The Provisional Government of Venice has issued a decree establishing a permanent Assembly of the representatives of the State of Venice , with the power of deciding upon everything relating to the interior or exterior condition of the State . The representatives are elected b y direct Universal Suffrage , in the proportion to the population of one to 1 , 500 . All citizens twenty-one years of age and upwards are electors . The elections will commence on the 20 th of January , and the representadves will meet immediately after ; their mandate is to last six months .

      SPAIN . The Clamor Publico , under date of Vera , the 4 fh instant , says : — 'At tbe moment of the closing the post , we learn that from 400 to 500 insurgents have enterei Spain by Echalard . They are commanded by General Zariategui . Another band of 100 men , under Sanz , have also entered Spain >> y Zugarramurdi .

      Al Axta California; Or The New Gold Regi...

      al AXTA CALIFORNIA ; OR THE NEW GOLD REGION . From the geographical memoir upon Alta California ( the California acquired by the late treaty with Mexico ) addressed by Lieutenant-Colonel Fre-Ptont to the Senate , at the list session ot Congress , we make a few extracts descriptive of the country : ? Alta California is divided into two parts—the Eastern and Western . The Eastern portion , lying between the Rocky Mountains on the east , and the mUt ratine Of the Sftrra Nevada on the west , comuVhends an area of about 500 eo . uare miles , and saving the reg ion around the Gref n Salt Lake m the north-east corner , and a few green spots along the

      flanks of the Western Mountains , is a howling desert of burning sand , bald mountains , and is covered with evidences of volcanic action . It comprehends fivesixths of the territory of California , as acquired from Mexico . The only white settlement within its limits is the Mormon colony near the great Salt Lake . The Great Basin is surrounded by mountains on all sides , and the rivers which rhiw into it from the mountains empty into lakes the waters of which are evaporated in the sun . as a substitute for an outlet to the sea , or the streams are absorbed by the sands of the desert ; as , for instance , Mtry s river , after a course of 300 miles , suddenly sinks into the sands , its water * as thick and bitter as bitumen , from the impregnations of its volcanic trail .

      ' The weBtiru division of California lies west of the great range of the Sierra Nevada , and between it and the Pacific Ocean . Excepting the Mormons , near the Salt Lake , which trenches upon Oregon , in the eastern basin , this western section is the only part Of California with which the army , nary , and settlers from the U nited States have had anything to do . All the accounts we have had of California , from time iraraemorifil , apply to the slip of country flanking the Pacific Ocean .

      SIERRA NEVADA . This Sierra it part of the great mountain range which , under different names and with different elevations , but with much uniformity of direction and general proximity to the coast , extends from the pe ninsula of California to Russian America , and wuhottt a gap in the distance through which the water of the Rocky Mountains could reach the Pacific Ocean except at two places , where the Calumbia and Fraser ' s river respectively find their

      passage . This great range is remarkable for its length , its proximity and parellelism to the sea coast , its great elevation , often more lofty than the Rocky Mountains , and its many grand volcanic pjaks , reaching high into the region of perpetual snow . Rising singly , like pyramids , from heavily timbered plateaux , to the height of fourteen and seventeen thousand f est above the sea , these snowy peaks constitute the characterising feature of the range , and distinguish it f rom the Rocky Mountains atuf all others on our part of the continent .

      That part of this range which traverses Alta California is called the Sierra Nevada ( Snowy Mountain . ) It is a grand feature of California , and a dominating one . It divides California into two parts , and exercises a decided influence on the climate , soil , and productions of each . The t « o sides of the Sierra exhibit two distinct climates . The mean results of observations made on the eastern side , at sunrise , 30 deg . ; . the state of vegetation and the appearance of the countrv being at the Kara- time ( second week of December ) , that of

      confirmed winter , the rivers frozen over , } now on the ridges , annual plants dead , grass dry , and deciduous trees stripped of their foliage . At the western base the mean temperature during a correspocding week was , at sunrise 29 deg ., and at sunset 52 deg . ; the state of the atmosphere and of vegetation that of advancing spring ; grass fresh and green , four to eight inches high , vernal plants in bloom , the air soft , and all the streams free from ice . Thus , December on one side of the mountain was winter , on the other it was spring .

      MARITIME REGION WEST OF THE SIERRA NEVADA . West of the Sierra Nevada , and between that mountain and the sea . is the second grand division of California , and the only part to which the name applies in the current language of the country . It is the occupied and inhabited part , and so different in character , so divided by the mountain wall of the Sierra from the great basin above , as to constituta a region to itself , with a struc ' . ure and configuration , a soil , climate , and productions of its own ; and as Northern Persia may he referred to as some type of the former , so may Italy be referred to as some point of comparison for the latter . North and south ,

      this region embraces about tea degrees of latitudefrom thirty-two degrees , where it touches the peninsula of California , to 42 degrees , where it bounds on Oregon . Eftst and west , from the Sierra Nevada to the sea , it will average in the middle parts , 150 miles , in the northern parts , 200 ; giving an area of above one hundred thousand miles . Stretched along the mild coast of the Pacific , with a general elevation in its plains and valleys ot only a few hundred feet above the level of the sea—and backed by the long and lofty wall of the Sierramildness and geniality may be assumed as the characteristics of its climate . The inhabitant of

      corresponding latitudes on the Atlantic tide of this continent can with difficulty conceive of the soft air and southern productions under the same latitudes in the maritime regions of Upper California . The singular beauty and purity of the sky in the south of this region is characterised by Humboldt as a rare phenomenon , and all travellers realise the truth of his description , The present condition of the country affords but slight data for forming correct opinions of tbe

      agricultural capacity and fertility of the soil . Vancouver found , at the mission of San Buonaveaturi , iu 1792 , latitude 34 deg . 16 min ., apples , pears , plums , figs , oranges , grapes , peaches , and pomegranates growing together with the plantain , banana , coccanut , sugar cane , and indigo , all yielding fruit in abundance , and of excellent quality . Humboldt mentions the olive oil of California as equal to that of Andalusia , and a wine like that cf the Canary Edands . At present but little remains of the high and various cultivation which bad been attained at

      the raiskions . CALrFORMA . The productions of the south differ from those of the north and of tbe middle . Grapes , olives , Indian corn have been its staples , with many assimilated fruits and grains . Tobacco has been recentl y introduced , and the uniform summer heat which follows the wet season , and is interrupted by rain , would make the southern country well adapted to cotton . —Wheat is the first product of the north where it always constituted the princi pal cultivation of the missions . This premier a to be the graingrowing region of California . The moisture of the coast seems particularly suited to the potato and to the vegetables common to the United States , which grow to an extraordinary size .

      VALLEYS OF THE SACRAMENTO AND SAN JOACIUIN These valleys are one , discriminated only by the names of the rivers which traverse it . It is a single valley—a single geographical formation—near 500 miles long , lying at the western base of the Sierra Nevada , and between it and the coast range of mountains , and stretching across the head of the bay of San Francisco , with which a delta of twentyfive miles connects it . The valley of the San Joaquin is about 300 miles long and sixty broad , between the slopes of the coast mountain and the Sierra Nevada , with a general elevation of only a few hundred feet above thelevel of the sea . It presents a variety of soil , from dry and unproductive to well watered and luxuriantly fertile .

      The northern half of the valley of Alta California is watered by the Sacramento , which runs down south into the Bay of San Francisco , while the San Joaquin comes into it from the southern extremity , flowing westward , and meeting tta Sacramento iii she bay , which is nearly in the middle of the valley . The valley of the Sacramento is divided into upper and lower—the lower two hundred miles long , the upper about one hundred ; and the latter not merely entitled to the distinction of upper , as being higher up on the river , but also as having a

      superior elevation of som < thou » ands of f « et abOTC it . It ascends like an immense column up . wards ot 14 , 000 feet ( nearly the heig ht of Mont Blanc ) , the summit glistening with snow , and vhib * , from favourable points of view , at a distance of 140 miles down the valley , WESTERN SLOPE OF THE SIERRA NEVADA . The western flank of the Sierra belongs to the maritime region of California , and is capable ot adding greatly to its value . It is a long wide slope , timbered and grassv , with intervals of arable laud , * „„ mo thnn . ands of feet superior elevation of Bom « thou » anris 01 w « . * . » r * « r «» n ^ uv * . an immense column up-

      copioii 5 . lv watered with numerous and bold streams , and without the cold which its name and altitude mittht imply . In length it is the whole extent ot the " long v < d ! ey at its base , five hundred miles * In breadth it is ' from forty to seventy miles , from the summit of the mountain to ihe termination of the foot hills in the edge of the valleys below , and almost the whole of it available for som « useful purpose—timber , pasturage , some arable land , mills , quarries— and so situated as to be convenient for use , the wide slspe of the mountain being of easy and practicable descent . Timber holds the first place in the advantages of ihis slope , the whole being heavily wooded .

      Many of the numerous streams , some of them amounting to considerable rivers , which flow down the mountain side , make handsomr , fertile valleys . All these streams furnish good water power . The climate in the lower part of the slope is that of constant spring , while above the cold is not ia proportion to the elevation .

      BAY OF SAN FRAS'CISCO AXD DKPENDEXT COUNTRY . The bay of San Francisco has been celebrated , from the time of its first discovery , as one of the finest in the world , and is justly entitled to that character , even under the seaman ' s view of a mere h arbour . But when all the necessary advantages which belong to it—fertile and picturesque depf-ndei : t country , mildness and salubrity of climate , connexion with the great interior valley of the Sacramento and San Joaquin , its va ? t resources for ship timber ,

      grain , and cattle , when these advantages are taken iuto the account , with its geographical position on the line Of communication with Asia , it rises into an importance far above that of a mere harbour . lis latitudinal position is that of Lisbon ; its climate is that of southern Italy ; settlements upon it for more than half a century attest its healthfulness ; bold shores and mountains g ive it grandeur ; the extent and fertil'ty of its dependent country give it great resources for agricultural commerce , and population .

      The bar opens to the rig ht and left , extending in each direction about thirty-five miles , having a total length of more than seventy , and a coast of about 275 miles . It is divided by ktraits and projecting points into three separate bays , of which the northern two are called San Pab ' o and Suiscon bays . Within , the view presented is of a mountainous country , the bay resembling an interior lake of deep water , lying between parallel ranges of mouvtains . It is not a mere indentation of the coast , but a little fc : a to itself , connected with the osi-au by a defensible gate , opening out between seventy and eighty miles to the right and left , upon a breadth of ten to fifteen , deep enough for the largest ships , with bold shores suitable for towns and settlements , and fertile adjacent country for cultivation . The head of the bav is about forty miles

      from the sea , and there commences its connexion with the noble valleys of Sau Joaquin and Sacramento .

      THE GOLD REGION—THK CLIMATE . The goid region of California is in tbe Sacramento and its tributaries . The climate of the country has no winter in the valley , but the rainy season and the dry , The rainy season begins in November , and continues to the end of February or the beginning of March . The rest of the year is without rain ; but the streams from the Sierra Nevad t afford all the facilities for irrigation in the heats of July and August . The whole valley abounds in wild cattle , wild horses , elks , dter , antelopes , g rizzly bears , partridges , watfr fowls , salmon , & . * ., & c . All the products of . he United States , from apples to oranges , from potatoes to sugar cane , may be produced in the valley of the San J oaquin and Sacramento . The climate is remarkablv healthv .

      Such ie the California on the Pacific—the richest . mott nictureique and beautiful region , for its extent , upon the face of the earth . Such is the El Dorado of the g-dd mines ; such is the great acquisition of the late war with Mexico .
