And now, before finishing, I will relate an interesting, and hitherto unpublished, episode respecting the hoisting of the American flag in California the 7th day of July, 1846 : The same secret instructions given to Commodore Jones were confided to the com- mander<= of our war vessels then cruising in the Pacinc. Accordingly, Commodore Sloat was instructed regarding the almost certainty of war soon happening with Mexico, and to be on hand nearest where he could receive speedy information of suc...h event, in order to proceed, at once, to California and seize it before the British fleet, whose Admiral, as correctly surmised, likewise carried secret instructions from his Government to pounce upon the same prize in such event. Both fleets had reached Mazatlan in the Spring, and hovered in that vicinity for two or three months, jealously watching the movements of each other. Sloat got positive information across Mexico of the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, and he and his officers, believing such to have inaugurated war, the fleet weighed anchor and crowded all sails to plant our constellated oriflamme in this /mfabulous garden of the Hespendes.
