ANNEXATION Frenne . is Srvanroa.—aA
Mazatlan correspondent of the Bulletin
writes:
Although the accession of Sonora, SinaJoa, ete., to the United States has been
looked npon as a settled affair, your New
York telegratu announcing the sale of these
States, took both natives and foreigners hy
surprise. The news soon spread over the
city with almost clectric speed, ercating
consideralie sensation amongst the Government cmployés, whose name is legion; but
relief soon arrived by a copy of Mr. Godoy’ s
letter to the Bulletin, appearing in the governuicut periodical, denouncing the rumor.
Thero are 2 number of foreign merchants
solely intercsted iu the european trade and
monopolizing the bulk of commerce, who
natnrally feel an aversion to a change that
would open the market to compctitors of
less capital. Whereas under the present
regime, with full cargoes direct from Enrope, with the probabilities of an occasional
revolution on the arrival of a vessel, when
the merchant has the dictating of what duties he will or will not pay, are advantages
not attainable under tho regnlated system
of the American Governmert. In former
years it was customary, upon the arrival of
threc or four Enropean vessels, to pay some
ex-official $10,000 or $15,000 to start ‘an imaginary pronunciamicnto, with a raid upon
the city. And as the State Treasury was
never guilty of holding surplus fnnds, the
immediate necessity of means for the suppression of tho rebellion would bring the
Government to almost any terms the merehants proposed, so that the needful was
forthcoming. The vessels in the meantime
lying on and off the port until such arrangements were satisfactorily completed.
Among the native popniation, the more
intelligent class, allowing due credit for
their patriotism, anxiously await the day
that these States will hold an equal advantage with California. Mcchanies and laborers, in the desperation of hope deferred,
look forward in reliance to the future change
that will give an impetus to labor and protection to industry, when there will be a
time to sow and a time to reap, and when
the everlasting tremor of revolutions shall
lave died away. There is nevertheless a
large number who live and have their being by the overthrow of law and order, born
and inured toa life of libertinism and plunder, aspiring only to a fleet horse and brace
of pistols, who detest thename of foreigner,
knowiug their avocation would be gone .
under a stable goverument, but who eloak
their aversion under the garb of patriotism, .

Tue Smozy ATMOSPHERE experienced a
few wecks ago was extended over an immense space. Our Austin, Nevada, exchanges spoke of it. By steamer arrivals, we
learn that the fog and smoke in Victoria, V.
L., were so thick ou Sept. 26th, that busincss
was almost entirely suspended.
The Hawaiian Gazette of Sept. 16th, says:
The atmosphere last Saturday morning was
very smoky. Since then the heavens have
been clouded, and the wind variable, with
occasional light shnwers. The autumnal
equinox is at hand, when uusettled weather
may be expected.
