From opposite regions, we have news of warlike matters. A
British negotiator, on a mission unknown, has recently arrived in the Rio de la Plata, to attempt the accommodation of the quarrels in that quarter. Santa Anna has actually assumed the Presidency of Mexico. United States forces have seized the capital of Ca- lifornia. The overland mail from India bears rumours of re- viving intrigues in the Punjaub, preparing new work to detain our army of occupation beyond its appointed time ; but the facts hitherto known do not warrant the wide inferences drawn from them. And the British in Borneo have again been chastizing the pirates ; it is to be hoped with some effect.
