ce. The Portland (Oregon) Advertiser, of the 15th, says the news received by the last trip of the Julia is confirmatory of the richness of the Nez Perces mines. Mr. Geary, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, in conjunction with Agent Caie, has effected an agreement with the Nez Perces Indians, to open a portion of their country to the miners, with a provision for a military force in the vicinity, and that the miners pre serve peace and order. British Columbia papers report the discovery of rich gold diggings in the Bamboo country. The Colonist says that the export of gold from Victoria, for the quarter ending March 31, was $218,000, being an excess of $42,000 over the corresponding quarter of last year. The same paper recommends the purchasing or building of steamers for the Victoria and San Francisco trade direct, in case the offer made the proprietors of the Santa Cruz is rejected. Crowds of people are leaving for Victoria, Oregon, and Washington Territory.

from search or detention by the vessels-of-war of any other nation." These orders might have produced an immediate collision between the naval forces of the two countries. This was most fortunately prevented by an appeal to the justice of Great Britain, and to the law of nations as expounded by her own most eminent jurists. The only question of any importance which still remains open is the disputed title between the two governments to the island of San Juan, in the vicinity of Washington Territory. As this question is still under negotiation, it is not deemed advisable at the present moment to make any other allusion to the subject. The recent visit of the Prince of Wales, in a private character, to the people of this country, has proved to be a most auspicious event. In its consequences, it cannot fail to increase the kindred and kindly feelings which I trust may ever actuate the government and people of both countries in their political and social intercourse with each

elegraphic correspondent from Washington furnishes the following items: The Territory of New Mexico, with her hundred thousand inhabitants, is awakening to a sense of her own situation. With dissolution her allegiance ceases, and she must cling to her nearest and most powerful neighbors for allies. Owing no allegiance, she becomes independent, and the arbiter of her own future. That she will attach herself to the republic of the Pacific, which will include California, Oregon, Washington Territory and Utah, is the conviction of her representative men here. Mr. Otero, the able delegate from New Mexico, takes this view of the case in the event of a break up of the government. He has already written to the territorial authorities in New Mexico not to accept any more United States draft, but to require pay in cash. The Committee of Thirty-three were in session to-day for several hours, but only discussed in an excited way the propositions before them. About four o'clock, H

The United States army. --By the old law the regular United States army consisted of about thirteen thousand men. Under a law passed in 1850, authority was granted which, with full regiments, would make a total force of nineteen thousand. This small force is now scattered over the vast territory of the Union; some in Utah, keeping the Mormons in order; others in Oregon, California and Washington Territory, fighting the Indians; and some in Kansas, looking after Montgomery and his "Jayhawkers." But we hear of very few located at the South, and it would probably be a difficult matter to concentrate a large force in that region, except of volunteers, without some weeks', or perhaps even months' notice.
