FRANCE . Paris , Saturday . —The trial of the editor of the Pouvoir * at thebsrof Assembly called together an immense audience on Thursday . A . chair was placed in the hemicyde in front of the bureau for the defendant . A small table , covered with a green doth , occupied the usual place of the first bench of commissioners , at the foot of which M . Chaix d'Estange , the advocate for the defence , was to take his defence . The President of the Assembly rose , amid deep silence , and said that in the sitting of the 15 th M . ikze had called the attention of the Assembly to an article of lhe Poutoit , ' which seemed to him to Stuck the rights and authority wbich it held by the
constitution , and to incut the penalties which were laid down in the law of May , 1819 . and in the decree of the Constituent Assembly of April , 1848 . He therefore demanded that the responsible editor of this journal should be cited before the bar of the Assembly to explain himself with regard to the substance of the article , that they might see if there was ground for applying the penalties in question . The article Lad been printed and distributed ; the editor had been summoned , aad he was ready to appear with the counsel which had been allowed him for his defence . Bat he ( the President ) woald first read a letter which had teen addressed to him by several representatives . The President here read a letter , signed by Michel de Bsurges , and some
twenty other representatives of the Mountain , de-: daring that the Assembly was not competent to try offences of the press , which were , by the constitotion , 6 u ^ ject o nly to the jurisdiction of juries ; and on these motives the undersigned abstained from taking any part in the trial of the editor of the 'Pouvoir . ' The President said that the abstinence of members of the Assembly on this occasion , according to his view , was perfectly legal ; but , at the same . time , be looked upon the Assembly as justified in the course adopted , and competent to try attacks upon itself . The Assembly having decided against the useless delay of calling over the name 3 of the members present , the President caused the defendant and his counsel to he introduced . After the
speech of M . Chaix d'Estange , in defence of the accused , the Assembly caused the defendant and his advocate to retire . They then voted upon the question whether the defendant was guilty of offence against the Assembly . This was affirmed by 273 votes against 154 ; As to the second question , whether the defendant was guilty of attacking the rights of the Assembly , it was decided tbat there was no occasion for deliberating on this . M . de Cronseilhes demanded that the Assembly should deliberate with closed doors on the penalty to be inflicted . This was opposed by Jules Favre , but the Assembly decided upon forming itself into a secret committee . The public tribunes were then cleared . After deliberating with closed doors for an hour and a half the Assembly decided , by a majority of 275 against 119 , to fine the defendant 5 , 000 fr ., but not to inflict the punishment of imprisonment .
Two persons have been arrested ou a charge of setting fire to the forest of Cbartellerault , Yienne . The fire was prevented with the . greatest difficult ? from extending . Nineteen houses were destroyed by fire on the 18 th inst . in the comtaune of Tremblayle Ylclreate , Ears et Loire ; and six hoases , with the whole of the crops and eleven cows , the same day , in the village of Cbantaloup were also destroyed . There is little doubt of this destruction being the work of incendiaries . The commune of Genneviliiers , Seine , continues in a state of terror , in consequence of the repeated attempts of incendiaries . Anew attempt was made a day or two ago to burn the whole of the crops . Several bands of persons disguise * as beggars have been observed prowling about .
The r « ational Guard of Sens , with the exception of the sub-division of cavalry , tfee company of artillery , aad sappers , has been dissolved by decree of the President of the Kepnblic . The' Maniieor' announces that 51 . Flavy , a neval surgeon , has been placed on the retired list by a decree of the President of the Republic , pursuant to the decision of a Court of Inqairy , and with reference to the unfounded statement contained in a letter addressed to' La Presse' by M . Flavy . some time since , and in which he asserted that the Marquesas Islands were unfit to be chosen as a penal settlement in consequence of their insalubrity .
Sunday . —The New Electoral Law . —The definitive effect of the New Electoral Law is now known , and it has been ascertained that the number of Electors in France , which in 1848 amounted to 10 , 500 , 000 , has bsen reduced to 3 250 , 000 , acd still the Conservative papers say that the principle of universal suffrage has not been infringed . If it be true , as stated bv the * Pouvoir / that none have been excluded excepting houseless beggars and repris de justice , the number of these two classes in France must be uncomfortably numerous . —Morning Chronicle .
Monday . —Yesterday , ihongh not distinguished T > y any political event of importance , will be noted in tlie history of Paris as the day on which M . Margat made his ascent in a balloon from the Hippodrome , in the presence of the President of the Republic , and his descent , without the slightest injury , in one of the most crowded quarters in the very centre of Paris . It had been announced that M . Margat , would attempt a second descent by means of his parachute . He had dons 50 with success on the previous Sunday , and the President of the Republic , who appears to have a morbid feeling of interest ( probably from a fellow feeling ) in witnessing the performances of those who make
very rapid asceats , and run the risk of coming down quite as ra . id : y . determined to be present . The day proved unpropiuons , M , Margat and his bal . loon soon disappeared in the clouds . Mot knowing his whereabouts , he thought it to serious a risk to attempt the descent in the parachute . He therefore remained in his balloon for an hour and a half ) during which the clauds had never allowed him a Bingle glimpse of mother earth . He thought , however , that he must be at a considerable distance from Paris , and therefore prepared to descend . Great was bis astonishment to find , on emerging
from the clouds , that he was still hovering over Paris . By the time he made the discovery he had allowed so much gas to escape , and was so near the earih , that he had nothing for it but to make tbe be 3 t descent he could among the houses . Fortunately for him , he secured a footing on the top of a house in the Rue St . Anne , where prompt assistance reached him , and both he and his balloon were speedily placed on terra firma . The President has thus seen a successful ascent , but his period for witnessing the proper mode o coming down from giddy heigtli is postponed for a short time .
Tuesday . —Yesterday thePresident proclaimed tbe result of the ballot for the committee of suneiUanct during the prorogation . Only fifteen names had the required majority-namely , Odillon Barrot , J . de Lasteyrie , Mouet . General St . Priest , General Chan , gamier , MM . d'Olivier , Berryer , Nettement , Mole General Lauriston , General Lamoriciere , MM . Beugot , de Mornay , Dnke of Montebello , and de Lsspinasse . The ballot for the remaining ten takc-s place on Tuesday . Wednesday . —In the Bitting of the Assembly yesterday , the discussion of the budget was resumed . The last chapters of the budget of public instructions were adopted without any debate of
interest . The house then passed to the budget of worship . M . Barthelemy St . Hilaire opposed the increase of 3 , 000 fr . proposed on the salary of the director of worships , while the salaries of professors of science had been cnt down by the committee . The figure of the committee was adopted . After the rejection of some reductions , proposed MM . MaigneandBonrzat , the remaining chapters of the budget of worships were adopted without any remarks worth mentioning . The house then proceed to take in hand the budget of the ministry of the interior . M .

WAR IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTBIN . SCHLBSWIG , Joly 18 th . — The decisw . ¦ toggle between the inhabitants of Schlesmg
Untitled Article
Holstein and the Danes is rapidly approaching ; the armies of both are separated but by a very short distance . Indeed tbe , advanced posts bare already met , and a few shots were exchanged this morning at a small village called Bilscbau without any damage being done to " either party . The Danish army is nnder the command of , General von Krogh ; that of the Duchies , as i s well known , is commanded by General Willisen , whose headquarters are at present here . Neither party waited for the expiration of the eleven dayB , within which the Prussian troops were to effect their withdrawal from Schleswig . General Willisen advanced into Scbleswi g on the 14 tb , or the day before , and his example was
followed by the Danish General on the 16 tb , whea he caused his troops to enter the Duchy of Schles . wig at several points . Two columns advanced from Sonderberg on that morning to Renkenis and Ovars , two villages on the road to Flensburg . The Danish army stationed in Jutland marched simultaneously into Schleswig , and seven battalions from the island of Alsen were disembarked at Apenrade ; two battalions were immediately ordered southward to Flensburg . On the 17 th ( yesterday morning ) the Danish troops entered Flensburg , and immediately proceeded to occupy the surroucding villages . A smaller body of Danes have retrenched themselves at Halnis , a small promontory which approaches very closely to the opposite coast of Sundewit , from whence they came . Patrols , from-this body have been seen beyond Glncksberg . Several hundred
Danish soldiers and sailors were landed yesterday on the island of Fehinara , which lies at the south , eastern extremity of Holstein ; on approaching the island the Danish vessels were fired at b y the Schleswig-Holstein batteries at Heili genhafen , a small port on the continent of Holstein . On the western coast of Scbleswig too a landing has been effected by the Danes at Hoyes , of which they took possession . Two comptrollers of customs and revenue , Messrs . Krogh ana Jansen , were seized , and sent on board the Danish ships . From the above , it will be seen that the Danish infantry has marched to the southward in three separate directions , but keeping close to the eastern coast . The Danish cavalry is also progressing towards Flensburg in a southeasterly direction ; their line of march is more in the centre of Schleswig :.
The Schleswig-Holstein army , or I should say the greater portion of it , is in position to the northward of this . Five thousand men still remain here , but immediately it is known that the Danish army has been concentrated , they will , doubtlessly , join the more advanced body of the army . Every man of this little army is strengthened by the moral courage which the justice of his cause instils . They have but one idea—the protection of their ri ghts from Danish aggression ; they are in a high state of discipline , are commanded by brave and intelligent officers , to whom they are deservedly attached , and will no doubt give a good account of themselves in the coming fight . It is exptcted that the armies will meet each other on the battle field within a very few hours ..
The scene of action will most probably be within ten miles of this , and in the immediate vicinity of the mail road from Schleswig to Fleasburg . The Danish army in the field will amount probably to 35 , 000 men . General Willisen will be able to oppose to them—an army smaller in number perhaps , but infinitely their superior in unanimity and courage ; and , moreover , officered by abler men . Major Von der Tarn , who in 1848 performed unheard of feats of bravery , combined with great military skill and discretion , though at the head of the most irregular body of free corps that ever existed , has been appointed a lieutenant-colonel in the army of the Duchies , and is chief of tbe staff .
The Russian fleet is hovering about the coast between Flepsburgh and Kiel . In the former port one of the steamers has run aground , and it is said there is not much hope of getting her off again . A division of the Russian fleet , with several Danish steamers , still lies off Kiell . The latter took possession , on the 15 th , of several vessels belonging to the Duchy of Holstein , regardless of the article in the treaty of the 2 nd inst ., which requires that all Danish intervention in Holstein must be preceded )> y an intimation to the Germanic Confederation . Letters from Hamburgh of July 19 says : —A telegraphic dispatch from ' Cuxbaven , dated half-past eleven o ' clock this morning , states that cannonading of heavy ordnance has been heard for about two hours , apparently in a north-westerly direction , the wind being nonh-east .
HANOVER .-Both the Chambers of Hanover have declared that they consider . the peace concluded between Prussia and Denmark so dishonourable to Germany , and have called upon the government to do what the honour of the nation demands . HAMBURGH , July 19 .-The intelligence that the Danish naval force had taken possession of the Island of Fehmern , on the extreme eastern point of Holstein , which is only divided by a narrow sound ' rom the mainland , has caused some sensation in this place , as being the first warlike fact which has come to hand .
BERLIN , July 19 . —The Danish commodore , who has his flag on board the Skiold line-ofbaltle ship , has announced to the consuls of neutral nations at Kiel that the blockade of tbat . port and adjacent coast will be commenced forthwith . It is to be supposed that a Danish squadron will also appeawin the North Sea , and tbat it will overhaul all vessels bound for Holstein ports ; among others , for Giuckstadt , &c , in the Elbe . The Danish cruisers have already captured some small craft upBn the eastern coast , and prevent all communication between Holstein and Schleswig by water .
It is a notorious fact that numerous volunteers arrivts daily at Hamburgh from divers parts of Germany , for the purpose of enlisting in the Holstein insurrectionary army , and that their passports are vise for Holstein by the local authorities in all directions . The divers German committees estab lished for the purposes of procuring money and supplies for Holstein are active in many parts of the country-Several members of the Hanoverian Chambers have drawn up and published an address to all their German countrymen . The following passage will suffice a ! a specimen : —
' German Brothers ! According to the Berlin treaty Schleswig-Holstein , for which the German Confederation pledged its word ; for which the whole nation rose in arras , with whom our brave soldiers contracted a brotherhood of blood—Schleswig-Holstein is to be abandoned . This is na peac for a faithful German people . Let us now show that the German people—the people of Hanover is incapable of abandoning their brothers in the hour of peril ; that wo , so long aB other assistance is not wanted , are resolved to cast from us a disgrace which would bring down shame on the German name and render ns the laughing-stock of all nations . '
AUSTRIA . Vienna , July 18 . —It is understood that Gent Haynau has refused to accept the pension attached to his rank in retreat * and that he will proceed to pass the remainder of bis days in Hesse ( Cassel ) , of which country he is a native . . Count Wilmoden entered upon his functions as General Commanding the 5 th Mmy upon the ISth inst . The disgrace of General Haynau continnes to divide public attention
with the 'Virgin of Schleimbach , ' who has excited general wonder , and a superstitious belief of a mira . cle , from her perspiring blood , which , unless we err , is a disease not unknown to medical men , and at various times recorded . This girl , who ties in a pitiful but excited state in the village of Schleimbacb , is visited by hundreds of superstitious persons , who believe that she is capable of perfomming cures , and that these transpirations occur when the spirit moves , and when she is in a prophetic state .
SPAIN . Madrid , July 16 . —The news from Spain is important . The 'Gaceta' contains two royal orders , which completely demolish all liberty of the press . By the 1 st article of the first royal order every publication may be denounced and confiscated , the tendency of which is to destroy the social organisation and principle of government established in the constitution of the state , although this tendency be only shown by making abstract reflections or applications to foreign nations . The
remaining articles inflict a similar doom on all writings alluding to the private history of any person or famil y , or containing doctrines contrary to religion and social ties . The second royal order prohibits the introduction of foreign works without previous permission of the authorities . These arbitrary ordinances have arisen from an article published by the Patrie , ' seized , as you are aware , a day or two ago , in which the King was said to have insisted much on the convocation of the Cortes on the Queen ' s delivery day , and the Government blamed for acting alone in so delicate a conjuncture .

PORTUGAL ; v f- ; Lisbon , Joly 13 . —The American Charge d'Affairs at this Court demanded his passports on the 11 th inst ., in consequence of this government ' s refusal to admit the claim relating to the General Armstrong privateer , unless by virtue of a fair arbitration of the King of Sweden or other maritime power . Mr .

ITALY . Strange reports were circulated at Florence , on the' 15 th inst ., with regard to the armed bands which infest Romagna . It was said that tbe authorities had arrested two of their recruiting officers . The band of Passatore , increasing in numbers and audacity , troops had left Florence , On the 14 th , for the protection of the Tuscan frontiers . Several Austrian deserters had been shot . The Tuscan ministry , by a circular dated the 5 th just ., and addressed to the mayors , prohibited the publication of municipal acts . » ,
PiBCMoNT . —A case of some importance was definitely judged on the 15 th , at Casale , Piedmont . It appeares that a priest , ' named Don Grignaschi , had succeeded in secretly persuading some females and priests that he was either Jesus Christ himself , or directly inspired by him . This doctrine used to be imparted to the neopbites as a sacred mystery , and demonstrated by visions and miracles . The matter having ; at last called the attention of the authorities , Don Grignaschi was prosecuted , together with his dupes or accomplices , on the counts of swindling and immorality . An able defence was . made by Advocate Brofferio , the well-known '; , deputy , " who founded his arguments on the facts that Grignaschi
did not teach his doctrines publicly ; that , he did not attack reli gion , since his assertions were founded upon it ; and tbat his princi ples were not contrary to those of the church , smce they were the same as those of the Millenary and St . Simonian sects , which had . been professed by bishops and saints , and never before condemned by the church ^ Notwithstanding this'defence , Don Grignaschi was con . demned to ten years' exile ; five priests , accused of complicity , were condemned to exile or imprisonment varying , from eighteen months to three years ; two women to . two years' imprisonment' and a notary and another person to a . month ' s imprisonment . Two other persona were acquitted .
POLAND . . ¦ ¦ : A telegraphic message had been received at Hamburgh from Berlin , announcing that a dreadful fire had broken out on the 18 th at Cracow , which laid waste a great part of the city , and . consumed the Archbishop ' s Palace , besides other public buildings .
GREECE . - ; . Athens , June 28 . —A swarm of minor newspapers recently appeared here . One came but under the title of'Patris' ( the country ;) it contained a supposed dialogue between Dionysius , the tyrant of Syracuse , and Plate . Amongst other things it had the following : — , ' .,.- . Plato— ' I" wonder , sire , why . being the son of a king and a king yourself , you should allow yourself to be guarded by the most horrid bri gands , by the greatest rascals , and why you should continually invite to your table the worst of mankind .
Dionysius— 'Do not wonder , Plato , because frem my birth my father did hot consider me able of governing on account of my physical defects ; and therefore I received another education intending me for another profession . And he used sometimes to say to some of his friends , should they ever bave me for their king , ill luck would attend the Sicilians . It has been their unhappy fate to have me , and they suffer without' complaining of my government ; you may easily conceive , how I cannot unlearn what I have learnt , nor govern according to the laws laid down , which I reall y never swore to
do ; for when I took the oath to govern my subjects according to the prescribed laws , I did not place my hand on the altar , although this was- ' observed by some of the clear-sighted . As to the worthlessness of those about my person , I have riot much to say . I will merely tell you that they please me in every way ; I find them complete blind instruments to my will , and I do not like remarks made to , me , even should they be useful . I wish every act to appear to emanate from myself , and I wish to appear to govern and rule alone , and : consequently ; the learned and wise are equally troublesome and . disagreeable to me . '
Plato—But how . can you bear to hear your courtiers and your devoted Iriends and companions accused of robbing both the public and private individuals ? ' ' Dionysius— ' I know all that : I know that my courtiers are bribed—all those getting places ; that they share in robberies , murders , and in the brigandage going on ; that they make a bad use of my name for their own purposes . My friends and favourites do all this ; but I wish them to do it , for , on the one hand , they make money to cover their expenses , and , on the other , the country suffers , although , unfortunately , I see it does improve , notwithstanding I have got up insurrections in the putting down oi which I have ruined whole provinces . I cannot concieve how it is , but notwithstanding all that it improves . '
Tbe dialogue continues and reviews tbe whole reign of Dionysius , which the court people here would have was an attack on the court of King Othe , and the paper was seized . The ministers im . mediately brought a bill into the Chamber of Representatives , called the Law on tlie Press , wbich was immediately carried there ; and it runs thus : — Art . l . Whoever shall , through the press or by means of a drawing or caricature , directly or indi . rectly insult , defame , or deride the King or his roya spouse , or shall endeavour to excite hatred or con tempt against their persons or against the royal au , tbority , shall be punished with seven years at mos close imprisonment . '
Art . 2 . The above punishment of close confinement may be reduced to simple confinement for one year at least , should the jury find cause for leniency , or can recommend to mercy . ' The' Athena' gives the following as to the state of the country : — ' Every post brings us bad accounts of the state of the province ? . At Missolonghi the inhabitants are afraid to go outside the walls of the town . On
the 20 th ult . , the brigands carried off the children of Bakoloukas , and took them on Mount Helicon , de manding a hundred dollars ransom ., On the 21 a forty brigands , headed by the celebrated : Tassos , entered the . _ village of Agios Vlasis , killed the Demarcb , set fire to two houses , and pillaged the whole village ; M . Lapbusiades ( a deputy ) was in the house ; bf the Demarch , and had just time to escape , but his brother ind MrCftloa were taken and robbed of everything they had . ' *
The mail was stopped yesterday between Corinth and Megara by a party of brigands . !'
UNITED STATES . . DEATH OF THB PRE 8 IDENT . ' By the steam-Bhip Niagara , which reached Liverpool t ) n Saturday night , we have received the New York morning papers of the 9 th of July , together with a telegraphic despatch from the same city , to the evening of the 11 th . It is with regret that we announce the unexpected death of the President of -the United States ; Zachary Taylor , who appears ; to have expired at Washington on the night of Monday , the 8 th , or early on Tuesday , the 9 th of July . The event occurring so immediately before the sailing of the packet , the papers of course contain no particulars . We collect , however , that the President ' s indisposition first became known at Washington upon
the 7 th , when he was stated to be suffering from diarrhoea . He was attended by Drs . Hall and Witherspoon , of Washington , who reported that his condition at that time was ' serious , but hot critical . ' It appears , however , that they considered it right to send for the President ' s son in-law , Dr . Wood , of Philadelphia , who arrived upon the 7 tb , and expressed an opinion that the situation of the President was quite as serious as it was when he was visitine Earie in 1849 , and when he suffered severely from the same complaint .

Various changes were predicted , among iothers it was said that Mr . Webster would be called to office as one of the Secretaries of State ; but of course all this was mere speculation ; The
general impression was , however , that comparatively few of 'tbe ministera would resume . office , and this belief Was supported by the circumstance that only two days antecedent to the President ' s death they had received a check in Congress upon the Galphin question . ' The House of Re presentatives passed , by a vote of 116 to 66 , an amendmen t decidedly ^ disapproving of and dissenting from tbe opinion given by the Attorney ; General in favour of allowing the interest on the Galphin claim , and from the action of the secretary of the treasury in paying it .

The city of Albany had been visited by a thunder storm of unexampled violence , which bad done considerable damage . Some of the . bridges on the smaller streams near the city had been swept away . But the greatest , injury sustained was on the Utica and Schenectady Railway , where a serious accident occurred . A bridge was swept down the stream by the force of the swollen current just before a
passenger train , from Albany arrived at the spot . The engine was precipitated into the stream , the tender , a freight car , and the baggage car , lodged on the top of the engine . Tbe three passenger cars did not go into the stream , but were badly broken . In tbe freight car , there were eight persons , a horse and a corpse . They were labourers on the road , with the exception of one woman . Only four of the ei ght are to be found . One dead body has been recovered . Two others ( including the women ) ,. are supposed to have been carried off by the rushing torrent . Neither the engineer nor firemen were injured . The loeomotivewasbroken topeices . '
A despatch from Halifax , dated the : 8 th July , states that the ship Corsair , from Liverpool to New York , thirty-five days out , with 207 passengers , had been wrecked near' Cape Race . Wreckers pillaged the . vessel , cargo , and passengers ; but no lives were lost . Government would send the passengers forward immediately . - ' News from Cuba had been , received to tbe 4 th . The fears entertained that a rupture would be
provoked with Spain , in consequence of the detention of American prisoners , were allayed by the fact that the governor of Cuba had declared that all of them would he surrendered to ' the American authorities in due course of time . This assurance appears to have been given prior to the arrival of the steamer Vixen , and it is statad that Commodore M'Keener , of the United States ship Congress , had sent despatches to Washington which gave a most pacific turn to the affair . . .
CALIFORNIA . The steamer Philadelphia , from Chagresj arrived at New York . on the 8 th of July , bringing letters and papersf rom San Francisco to the 1 st of June . The Philadelphia was in correspondence with the Oregon , Pacific steamer ; and it seems that tbe Oregon brought to Panama upwards of two millions dollars worth of gold dust as freight , and nearly another million dollars worth in the hands of private passengers . Of this 'immense quantity of gold , the greater part was consigned to New York .
From the mines the news was not very favourable , the high condition of the waters in the several rivers having prevented to date any extensive operations during the present mining season ; A correspondent of the ' New York Inquirer' says : — 'The amount of gold taken out . during the season will , undoubtedly , owing to the vast increase of population , be much greater than last year , but individual success will be greatly diminished . A portion of the population will necessary , ere long , be compelled to turn their attention to other pursuits . '
The burnt district in San Francisco was again covered with buildings , and business in that section has , to a considerable extent , resumed its wonted activity . San ft&nciseo , however , is said to present by no means tbe business appearance which it did six or nine months ago , nor would property , of any description , command the hi gh prices which were then obtained .. Real estate could scarcely be sold at all . In the district of the Sonora difficulties had
occurred , in consequence Of ah attempt to levy a tax on ' foreigners' for the privilege of working the mines . ' A law' had been passed for that purpose , and a time was fixed by the collector to summon a posse of ' American citizens' to prevent foreigners from working . The day previous to the time fixed , the foreigners paraded with guns , &c . They were chiefly Mexicans , Chilians , and Frenchmen . Reinforcements of Americans were sent for from the neighbouring towns , and ultimately order was restored , but not until several on both sides had been stabbed .
In another district of California there had been a collision with the Indians , ending in a great slaughter . The following is the account of this Uansac tion given in the Alta Californian' of June 1 st : We have received particulars of the recent slaughter of a large body of Clear Lake Indians , by an expedition sent out against them from the UnitedStates garrisons at Sonoma and Benecia . The tribe that incurred this terrible punishment comprises the natives of Sonoma and Napa vallies , and has maintained , in general , undisturbed peaceful relations with the white settlers of that section of California . Last summer howevera stubborn
, , family , Indian , offered an indignity to the wife of one Kels ' ey who had resided in the country some nine years , for which he was taken before a magistrate , and sentenced to receive one hundred lashes . After this punishment , on the same day , we are informed , Kelsey sought the wretched offender , and laid him dead at his feet , shooting him in the presence of several gentlemen , who remonstrated with him on the barbarity of the deed . This man Kelsey was afterwards murdered , as was also a brother-in-law , by the Indians of the neighbourhood . Since then repeated acts of violence have
b ; m visited on the natives . The Indians were driven to the mountains , and subsequently made de-. predatory incursions upon their old masters , driving away cattle , and indulging their natural propensity to steal , Complaints ^ were made-doubtless the accounts of their conduct highly coloured—to the garrisons at Benecia and Sonoma / and on the first of . the month an expedition was fitted out against them , composed of a detachment of infantry and a company of : dragoons , nnder command of Lieut . Davidson ( 75 in all ) with orders to proceed against the Clear Lake Indians , and exterminate , if possible , the tribe . The troops arrived in the vlclnltv of
the lake , and came unexpectedly upon a body of Indians numbering between 200 and 300 . They immediately susrounded them , and as the Indians raised , a shout of defiance and attempted escape , poured in a destructive fire indiscriminatel y upon men , women , and children . ' They fell , ' says our informant , « as grass before the sweep of the scyth e . ' Little or no resistance was encountered and tlie work of butchery was of short duration . The shrieks of the slaughtered victims died away the roar of muskets ceased , and stretched lifeless hE * J * th T eir " ative valley « ere the bleeding bodies o these Indians-nor sex , nor acre was Zed ' " tIT 6 ° , r ° exte' « ° n . fearful 2 ^ ' \ t tr °° pS relurned t 0 the Nations , and quiet is for the present restored .
