TH NO. 5249. Tike New Ameiican Territory. the London Tlmm, Sept. 10 There is really a great deal of interest to be acSuired in the seizing of California, jnst taKen by tie United StateB.

We mean that there is something very amusing in the spectacle of the most inquisitive and tenacious people iu the world turned loose into a huge, mysterious, unexplored region. Tt ia unmclhini' hpvnnH IVnnn miiH hm hrnthtr vanti in Egypt, and is almost equivalent to a meeting of tbe British Association in Japan with the run of the islands. It is certain that, at this moment, no human being of Caucasian extraction has any conception of what may be discoverable on the ten degrees of the globe's surface between the llio del Norte and the North Pacific Ocean; and it is almost as certain that in two years' time there will be a railroad right across the province, and boarding houses at every station. It is something in these dull times to have a real true terra incognita in store, with Americana for adventurers. The truth is, that tbe Colorado beats the Oxufi hollow; for there was a time when Baetriana was a civilized and accessible region enough.

whereaB theie is no certainty that the spot of ground indicated by lat. 36, long. 112, was ever ioddeu by hny foot but that of an Indian horoe-stealer. We say no certainty, because there id in fho li i nhtiot rr atfaoliurl tn flua country- A blue book, stamped with all the authority of it I'aihamentary warrant, positively states that Independent nations, living in large townB, and known only by report," are presumed to exist within the old domains of Mexico, and, as RfM sucli turned tw the other day, during the forays between Santa Fe and Vera Cruz, we must conclude they lie somewhere hereabouts, if anywhere. The mystery of the reports is quite charming.

The existence ot the cities in question is not exactly so well ascertained as was that ot paradise by Sir John Mandeville, who "had not.indeed, reached the had seen the walls thereof;" it bears rather a stronger analogy to that El Dorado, of which some Indians told Raleigh's sailors that they had once seen the reflection in a lake. Seriously, though, there is actually an enormous indefinite area to be explored and IHty thousand adventurers leady to rout and ransack eveiy corner ol it, like the idertakers at the drawers and cupboards in Hogarth's picture of the Dead Mieer. Perhaps our readers would like to learn something of the known state of California, as a point de depart from which to venture into those interesting details which will, no doubt, reach us by every American mail. Under the old Spanish monarchy, Upper or New California, was one ot the three provinces comrummer fho Vippravnltv fit Mpw Sirmin Its settlement, however, was limited to the establishment oi some eighieen or twenty missions" located along the coast, which were dedicated to the various saints whose titles still survive between Fruncieco and Diego, and which were calculated, with a precision and a certainty attainable by none but Spaniards, to render the colonization of the country altogether an impossibility. San Diego, the southernmost of these, and the point where the new American frontier will debouch upon the Pacific, was founded in 1769, before which year there was no European settlement upon the coast.

Between this period and 1800 were founded the others, all on the same model, and all running the same course. The aspect of the presidios was not materially varied underthe rule ot the emancipated republic. When Captain Wilkes landed at San Francisco, he found, at the chief anchorage of this noble port, a "town," of which the constituent elements are thus large frame house, occupied by an agent of the Hudson's Bay Company a store kept by an American; a billiardmo ni und bar: noon-cabin of a shin. oprumeH as a dwelling by an Anglo-American captain; a blacksmith's shop, and some outbuildiags." As this is decidedly the most famous colony on the coast, it would be rather the proverb to say tlx pcde Hercnlcm," but we may probably Bave ourselves the trouble of describing San Car? Ios, or Santa Barbara, or La Ptirissima Concepcion. In these delightful settlements resides the present white population of the province, numbering, oerhaps, about 3,000 souls; and some 9,000 or i 10,000 Indians, it is calculated, roam abroad in the mysterious wilds of interior.

The whites ar? true sons of Old Spain, with every thing of a Castilian but his bravery. But for the presence of certain English and Americans, the Indians would infallibly drive them into the sea. Alter calm observation and mature reflection, Captain Wilkes is compelled to pronounce that they may be termed cruel to their wives, in a greater degree still to their slaves and cattle, and xceedingly ignorant of every thing but extortion, riding horses, and catching bullocks." A true Yankee graft upon this valuable stock must yield a wonderful result, and we shall not be long before we see it. We described, lately, the precautions which have been so promptly taken to bring the newteriitory safely under hana, and it appears that the work of discovery has already commenced. At present, the great attrac tion seems rather in the bowels of the earth than on its surface, and hundreds of independent citizens are at work with their pickaxes, like treasure seekers in the mountains.

Quicksilver is the main object of search, and we are told, in a semi-official and perfectly serious report, of one mine, about 13 miles from San Francisco, so rich, that the gentleman who surveyed it under the directions of the government was so much affected by that his mouth was sore for a period of ten days after he had concluded the survey." It is anticipated that quicksilver will thus be an article of as regular exportation from the western, as breadstuffs from the eastern coasts of the States; several mining companies are already established, and California is even now spoken ot by Transatlantic journalists in that phrase which so attracted Mr. Martin Chuzzlewit, as one oi the most remarkable provinces of our country, sir." We should rather conceive doubts, from the configuration of this part oi the continent, whether the mineral wealth, so characteristic of the great spinal plateau of Anahuac did, in reality, extend so far beyond its termination as to be met with in North California. Hut, like the young farmers in the fable, who dug for a treasure and discovered it in the enrichment of their farm, which had followed upon the labor bestowed, the Americans will, no doubt, find their account in the improvement and civilization of this hitherto unproductive country, with a territory, at least in places, highly fruitful, a climate free from the noxiousness of he opposite coast, and a temperature not otherwise than equable, they can hardly (ail of a return for their labor, and. if they do not discover any New Peru, or any fresh variety of the human race, they will, at least, make a vast tract of the earth's surface subservient to the increasing wants of man.

What a noble compliment does the Archduke pay te our political and to the character of our Washington! We are sure that every Amerloan will read it with pride and with pleasure The letter of Mr. Donelson is worthy of bis oountry. His Allusion to the "Item government with great grace from the representative of our own federal government, appearing brfore the of a new federal government.

Afr. epeech to hit Imperial Grand Viiairt of the Germanic Empire, en preienting hit credentials. No higher honor could be conferred upon me than that of presenting the letter which I now do, accrediting me as the Minister of the United States to your Imperial Highness.

On a former occasion, anticipating the decision of the President when he should fee Informed of the existence of the eentral power established by the Oerman States, I ventured to oxprers. In advance, the friendship and sympathy he would feel for it? nuccess. The letter which I now deliver will show that it wm not possible for me to overstate the 'warmth and sincerity of his sentiments. 1'ermit tan, in addition, to annum your Imperial Itighnfir, that no effort shall be spared on my part, to render the performance of my duties acceptable. The United 8tatus, having no interest which can be opposed to tnat of Oermany, will look with a steady friendship to the great work whioh has bsen intrusted to the guardianship of the provisory government and the national assembly.

That this work may be that it may the German States in a just federal gt.vcrnm?r which will make them as a Union, stronger and greater, and as a people more free, prosperous. and happy, will be the anxlons wish of every true American Allow me also to express, on occasion, the confidence reposed by my countrymen in the personal character of your Highness. They respect it as a guarantee that the objects proposed by this Union of the Oeinian States, may be attained without war or elvil Having been aided themselves by a kind Providence, which gave them a Washington, to show how much stronger is a political fabric whioh rests upon the spirit of fraternal eoncord and forbesrance. thsn upon the rivalries of separate interests and conflicting nstic nslitles they indulge the hope that similar blessing awaits Oermany They rejoice in tfee wlih that the generations tvfcich arc to const) NE M( place the name of your Highness by the aide of Washington. not for story gained In fields of battle, but for services as a sfeteiman, who persuades aouutrymen to aoDtlnue together in brotherly oouasel, to bury their local differences and sectional prejudices, and to establish, by patriotio compromises, agovernment uniting public order and private right with individual liberty and national independence.

My government and countrymen are aware that it is I tbeir example and not their advice, wbioh may engage tbe attention ot foreign States when seeking to amend tbeir political systems Henoe. they studiously abstain from becoming partisans to the internal differences of other nations respecting their forms of government. They know that whatever is good in itself will be useful only as a political example, as it becomes known by its peaceful and unpretending presence in the exchanges of oommeroe. and in those friendly offices which belong to the spirit of an age that makes knowledge and virtue the condition of national greatness and private happiness. It is not, therefore, in ths spirit of propagandism that the sentiments cf which I am the organ are offered It is in that of a sincere respect for the German States and people, whose origin, numbers, intelligence, position, and productions, entitle them 10 be amongst tbe first nations of the earth.

of the John, Vicaire of the German Empire, to Mr. Oonelson, Envoy Extraordinary of the United States. It gives me sincere joy to see an envoy from the United States of America accredited to the German central power; and my thankful acknowledgments are due for the friendly advances your government has made in this respect. These advances will sxrve to IllHHC iuc uuiiii ui leuowruip auu gwiu uuuersuiuumg between the United States and Germany more dura ble. The high value 1 net upon thin bond needs no assurance from me.

My belief in its strength is increased by the oonviction that the interests of the two spiritual, and of a hind to guaranty the accomplishment of my hopes. Many people of German origin have found a social home in hospitable America, and have been received therewith benevolence. This is a tie to make still more certain the frien dship of the two nations. the remembrance of your great Washington, and the blessed legacy his wisdom his raro virtues, and his disinterested patriotism have bequeathed to America, never oease to live among your people, I carry in my heart a sincere veneration for him, and regard him as an exalted model of all the virtues Like him, would I seek my highest fame in this, that the trust which Germany has reposed in me may be justified by my cordial and consistent endeavors to found legal order, and to secure to my beloved fatherland undisturbed pence from within and without But these, my efforts, must be assisted by the friendship of foreign powers, and particularly by your noble Ameriean nation. I rely upon this friendsh'p and will do all I can to merit it In this respect it is a good omen, Mr Minister, that you are chosen to represent your government near me.

I derive from this aourue a satisfactory asf urance tliat all will be done to give effect to the mutual wishes of our governments. I bid you welcome from my Arrival of the Cochitijate Water in Saturday, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, "the first water from Lake Coohituate reached Boston through tbe aqueduct. The pipe on the Common, near the pond, was opened for the passage the water, but the first issue was tbat of a current of air nearly stroDg enough to knock a man down. The water soon made its appeaaance, rising in a jet several feet high.

By its color, some of the spectators mistook it, or pretended to mistake it, Cognac or old Tort it was of a deep red hue. probably from the rust of the iron pipes. It is now running through the main pipe through tbe northern ptirt of the citv into the parbor at the lower end ef Hanover street. A few days will suffice to clear the pipes, and render the water fit for use The operation on the aqueduct, previous to the arrival of the water in the city, was thus described in the DtUff of We announced yesterday tbe introduction of the water of Cochituate Lake into the aqueduct on the preceding day, and stated that it would reach the reiervolrin Brookline at about 10 o'clook intheevening. We learn that the current arrived at the gate bouse at the entrance ot the Brookline reservoir at a quarter past nine in the evening.

The first current consequently flowed through the aqueduct, a distance of nearly 15 miles, in about 10J? hours. house on the side towards the reservoir being oiosed, the water yesterday morning had risen at that place to a depth of 4 feet and 7 inches, and was flowing at the same time 7 inches in depth over the over-fall, at tho vaata. valr In (Ka waatnrlo vtavf. blln? Thin over-fall being 3 feet 10 inches from the bottom of the aqneduct, the depth of water was at this place 4 feet 6 inches. The depth at the head of the aqueduct was at the same time 3 feet 9)? inches.

Those facts maj remove the apprehensions of those persons who were of opinion that the water would not run through the aqueduct. The present level of the water in the aqueduet at Brookline, and the level to which the reservoir, if opened to the water, would be filled by the present rate of discharge from the lake is about 120 feet above the marnb level. Before the opening of the water works, it is intended to draw off the water from the aqueduct, for the purpose of a careful examination of the inteiior, after a thorough cleansing. It will be again admitted before the date fixed for the introduction of water into the oity. and by the time of the completion of the Brookline reservoir.

German Music Saturday last a rather sharp looking girl, about years of age, who gave her name as Clara Muller, and whose vocation is that of a street accordion player, came to the police cffloe accompapied by an Interpreter, to ask advice and assistance under tba following circumstances She says, that before leaving her native place, which is Holsheim, In Hesie friends on her part, entered into an agreement with a man named Jacob Reiter, that she should travel with him in England for 18 months as one of a party of street'musicians? that she was to pay him all her earnings, and reoeive in return fond and lodirinir. 10s in cash, and a free nassaire to ber native country. The original agreement Is retained, by tbe friends, and the speculator carries the other along with him. Now, the girl that the engagement terminated In July last, but that Reiter will not pay her tbe salary nor permit her to depart This man was found out, and in defence states that the engagement is not out till October; but that he has)lost the copy of agreement necessary to prove this fact. From tne interference of the authorities, however, the man found it expedient to leave 10s.

in the hands of the chief superintendent of police 10s as salary, and for travelling expenses), until the real state of tbe case can be obtained from Germany; and as the girl positively refuses to go back to house, ihe has meantime been decently lodged under the charge of the pelice. The burgomaster at Holsheim has beeu written to; and tbe concluding clause of the letter very properly says As the class to which this girl belongs ia very numerous in Gltsgow, the authorities are very desirous to know the terms aid oircum'tances under which they are induced to leave their country for Great Britain." Clara Muller Is an intelligent girl, and writes a good letter. She says that her earnings runtrom 4a. to 10s. per day, eolleoted in the streets in small doles as a reward for her performance on the accordion.

Now, we have every feeling of kindness for these poor girls; but it is questionable how far they should be encouraged, when their exertions are devoted, night and day, to making a dealer in musical slaves ricn. This man, we are Informed, sends upon the streets daily some five or six begging minstrels. Including his own wife, but principally boys and Olatgow Herald.

Martin Van Buren was defeated in 1840, and quietly dropped in 1844 and be now repudiates his party, and the principles adoptel by it at his own instigation, and becomes the abolition candidate for President, with a rank Massachusetts fedtralist for associate upon the ticket He had hopes of receiving the nomination of the democracy i in May last; and as soon as that hope was dissipated by the result offCthe Baltimore convention, he becomes all of a sudden a oonvert to abolitionism.

Letter to Oovtrnor Hill. Sept. 11, 1848. His Excellency Isaac Hill: The undersigned, democratic citizens of Bradford county, availing ourselves of your temporary sojourn among us, are desirous of kuowing whether Martin Van Buren, previous to his nomination as a candidate for President, in 1840, subscribed to, or approved of, the resolutions adopted by the Baltimore Convention, which plaoeo him at that time in nomination; and from your being a conspicuous member of that convention, we havo reason to believe you may possess information upon the subject, which maybe important for the people to know, particularly in relation to the resolution adopted by that convention in relation to slavery. Very respectfully, your obedient servants, David Cash, Wh.

C. Baiiid, P. Ward, Governor Hill's Reply. Towanda, September 11, 1848. Gentlemen In answer to your note of this date, I am able to sav.

that I was a member of the Baltimore Convention which nominated Martin Van Buren for re-election in the year 1840; that at the instance of Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Silas Wright, the late Judge Grundy, and others at that time, 1 spent several days, previous to the convention, at the house of Mr. P. Blair, at Washington, In preparation for that convention; that the arrangement then made was, that Mr.

Kansom II. Gillet should prepare and report the resolutions and that 1 should report the address; thai the resolutions, drawn up as 1 then believed by Mr Wright, were submitted to und approved by Mr. Van Buren; that I consented, after the address was roported, to have it returned to Washington, by the hand of Judge Anderson, of Tennessee, with liberty for Mr. Wright to change and alter it in any manner that was known to be the confidential friend and adviser of the think expedient; that the address was bo altered materially on some points after it was thus returned, and before it wai printed that the resolutions, peculiarly embodying all the points of political faith which I had embraced for the previous twenty years, were then the opinions professed by Mr. Van Buren, as repeated in several conversations; and that I have good reason not only to believe that the reFolution in relation to slavery hid his full aanction, but that the latter clause of that resolution was inserted at his suggestion, and in the strong and unequivocal language he was in the habit of using upon that topic.

I am, respectfully, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ISAAC HILL. Meters. David Cash and others. The resolution referred to, is as follows: That Congress has no power, under the constitution, to interfere with or control, the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of every thing appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the constitution: that all (Torts of the abolitionixts or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming consequences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endaoger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend to our polltioal institutions." Naval TVia IT fi nlAnn nf war Pvunu Pnmma HnnAnt just arrived from the Pacitic, at Norfolk, in very short pas page of sixty-two days from Valparaiso, has had a most active and brilliant oruise. She sailed from the United States in Aagust, 1845, and her crew have been particularly distinguished throughout the war no crew have ever had the good fortune to perform so much service in a single cruise.

The Cyane wan on the west ooast of Mexioo when the war broke out, and only left there after the receipt of the news of peace. This ship's cempany participated in the taking of Monterey, and garrisoning that first offensive operation on that ooast. They were in the fights of Com. Stockton at the Meia and the Klo Gabriel: they destroyed the gunboats of tnc enemy at tiuayamas, cut up their shipping in the Gulf of California, blookaded the ports of San Bias and Mazatlai, and were apart of the force of Com Shubrick when he took that place and two of her officers. Lieutenants Kowan and Selden, had the command, one of the shore party and the other of the water party surprised and routed a large body of th? enemy at Urias.

The ship's company also garrisoned in part La Tax and San Jose, Lower Call ornia. It was Capt. Du Pont, with 100 of his crew, who so gallantly landed at San Joso, in the faoe of an overwhelming force ofthe enemy, and foroed his way two miles through a perfect ambuscade, and under aconftant and heavy flre, to the town of San Jose, to relieve our garrison under the command of Lieut. Heywood, who had been 20 days surrounded by the enemy, and in great distress. Captain Du font afterwards mounted seventy of his men, under oommand of Lieut.

Selden, and pursued the enemy in the interior of the country Lieut. Selden was sue cessrui in entirety creaking up tne insurgents. bringing back and depositing on board ship their commander-in-chief and twenty of his people as prisoners. It will also recollected that It was the of the Cyane, under Lieut Harriott, that cut out the enemy's brig Condor, in the ot Ouaymas, under the fire of their musketry: and also whilst the ship was blockading MaiaMan, her boats signally defeated the enemy's boats sent off to defend a vessel attempting to run the blockade, and landed and spiked all the enemy's cannon at 8an Bias. Her crew have been remarkable for their discipline and good conduct, acting as soldiers, both Infantry and mounted men: and they have been In seven fights on shore, and their loss has been one officer and one man killed in battle, with a large number wounded.

Some of the crew have been wounded in several engagements. After this long, successful, and meritorious conduct of Capt. Uu Pont, and the offieers and men of this ship, they have arrived service performed so far away, that very little is recorded; so that the relatives of these brave and devoted patriots scarcely know of their deeds of patriotlo daring. No promotion, no brevets await them, as it unknown in the navv. It is to hoped that some distinguished mark of esteem may be shoffn Capt.

Da Pont and bis officers and crew, so worthy and deserving, and that their servioes will not be unappreciated by their fellow citizens. These noble tars, having served ai foot and dragoons, cannot be tamely received by their countrymen. TV. lloltaJ aliuin nf.MH i lurmatitnwn (l.H from I'enracolaon the 80tfi nit. for8t.
