Character of Napoleon's Cabin et.
At the head of Napoleon's Cabinet is Odi ,
lon Barrot. He holds the portfolio 00-Min
ister of Justice. After twenty years steady
pursuit of power, he is at last prime minister.
He attacked the Government of Louis Phil
ippe because Louis Philippe would not have
him, but preferred M. Guizot. Though not
then a republican, he had indirectly a large
share in the revolution which produced the
republic. He has his reward. Xis-ii states
man he possesses the fundamen tal quality
of unblemished honesty; a rare ertd.owrnent
for a man who has so long played so im
portant a part in party politics. But in res
pect of talent he is not above mediocrity,
and will hardly be found equal, for any
- length of time, to the emergencies of the po
sition in which he is now placed.
' M. Drouyn de Lhuys, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, is a man of more talent but
•of less sincerity. He was formerly secreta
ry of legation at the Hague and at Madrid,
and director of commercial affairsin the bu
i reau of which he is now the chief. He .be
longed to the monarchial opposition and was
a prominent supporter of the reform ban
quets. - 7
M. Leon Malleville, the Minister of the
interior, is one of the lieutenants of M.
Theirs, to whose fortunes he has constantly
been attached for the dozen years which he
has passed in parliamentary life. As is the
case With all the active followers of M.
Theirs, he has more Witthan wisdom. more
talent than judgement, and more keenness
than eloquence.
M. Falloux, Minister of Public Instruc
tion and Worship, is a legitimist, with Ji‘s
uitical blood in his veins. If Henry V. were
to be restored, he would be his Minister.
He did not accept the post he holds in the
present Cabinet with anything like the alac
rity manifested by Odilon Barret ; it4requir
ed the importunity of personal friends to
bring him to it ; the urgent intercession of
the Archbishop of Paris and M. de Monhil
embert finally prevailed upon him. Ode of
the conditions on which he took office was,
that the Cabinet should go for the liberty of
instruetion.' . .
M. Leon Faucher is Mihister of Public
Works. He was thought of for the portfo
lio of commerce, but his extreme free trade
opinions were an obstacle to that post being
confined to him. He entered on public life
as a journalist, was for several years con
nected with an opposition newspaper which
exists no longer, called Le Temps; after
ward he edited the Constitutiommel, and
from 1838 to 1840 was a prominent writer
in the Currier Franenix.. Of late years he
.en engaged in economical studies, and
'Wished several work remarkable flit
ibility. In the Chadber of Deputies
_longed to the opposition. He. is a
good speaker as well as writer
M. Bixio, the'Minister of Agricn Iture and
ommerce, is the most liberal and republi
c n man in the Cabinet. He is in Italian
v birth, but has long resided in France.
e is a man of great skill in affairs, and will
doubtless fill respectability to the important
office to which he is now elevated. He en
tered public life with the revolution, imme
diately after February he was sent by M.
Lamartine as envoy to Turin, and acquitted
himself creditably. He has the advanuige
of having no political history previous to
that time. It is to btr seen whether he will
come up to the example of his immediate
• predecessor in office. M. Touret, the only
Minister since February, of whom all par
ties are compelled to speak with much
up
probat ion.
The Minister of the Marine and the Col- .
onies, M. de Tracy, is perhaps best tinoten'
for his long and earnest endeavors to :Tito.'
cure the abolition of capital imnishment.
.As a politician he is an independent man,
and has never been absorbed in , any party,
.
though he generally voted with ,the old op
:sition. He is a supporter of liberty of in
.struction, so much commended lorliy the
•Catholics, but on general rather fhtm •secia
'Tian grounds.
• The Department of War is occupied by
`Gen. Rulhieres, who - 11nd the same place in
'the abortive Cabinet which on the '2:ld of
February was to take the place df 'that of M.
'Guizot. It may safely be doubted whether"
he will equal his immediate predecessor,
`Gen. Lamoriciere, in ability. He is a mein
.
ber of the Assembly, of recent election.
M. Hyppolite Vassy takes the supreme
'direction of the Finances, an other: which •
he held in 18:17. _lle is the only one of the
' -- ;,Ministers who does not belong to the Assent
. bly. He is a man of' respectable talents,
• :and an ultra conservative. Nothing great
or brilliant is to be expected from him.—N.

Natural History of California.
The following description of California is
from the pen of the distinguished traveller
and ornithologist J. J. Audubon, and is the .
•
result of the personal observation and ex
ploration bf the writer, made some time since,
before the recent wonderful discoveries. It
is extracted from a letter addressed to his
`friend imon Clairton, lib esteemed fellow
citizen, 'pith which we have been favored,
and we p sent it to our readers as contain
' irig more cise and definite information in
regard to the, natural history, Sm.,. of Cali
fornia than any other accolffir that has met
our eye.
Although this letter does not particularly
describe. the precise lcicality which is now
the grand attraction of the gold hunters, it
t ‘s
gives information in regard to t e•general
characteristics of the country nLich is of
real importance and which is lik ly to be
under-estimated in the alkibsotbing anxiety
in regard to the search for the root of all
, evil. .
"California is a country of North Ameri
ca, extending along its cottst from 22 deg.
98 min. to 42 deg. N. lat., and between 107
deg . . and 124 deg. Having north, the.
west territories belonging to the United,
'Suites ; east, Mexico and the Gulf of
fornia ; and south and will the Nor'& Pa
,'
cific Ocean. It is naturally divided into
Old, or Lower, and New, or Upper Califor
nia : which, as they differ Widely, both as to
formation and products, we shall notice sep
rately.
"In Lower r -GaVornia, - violent hurricanes
are freqtr6re, but dot earthquakes. Timber
ber is very scarce, and by far the greater
portion of the coungy is incapable ef,pro
ducing a single Wadi acorn. , Cattle` feed
on the leaves of the Muscheto tree, a slie
cies of acacia. Wolves. foxes',er, goats,
~,Ay
sev'eral species of snakes, liza s and scor
pions, are.among the wild aniffials, and the
fertility.of,the sea, if properly taken advan
tage of, ivould make amends for the indomi
table harreness of the land.
• "Upper California comprises all that ex
tensive portion of North America between
latitude 82 deg. and 42 deg. North, and lon
gitude 107 deg. and 124 deg. West. With
in these limits it includes the territory dis
covered by Sir Francis Drake, and named
by him New Albion. The part inhabited
by European and other foreign settlers is
merely a tract extending along the shore of
the Pacific, it is about 500 miles long and
40 miles in -width ; area about 2000 square
miles ; population in 1831 was 23,000 the
territory has been thus divided :

"The San Joachim and Jesus Maria nre
both navigable streams, discharging them
selves into the Bay of San Francisco. The
other streams are mere, rivulets, and the
getieral unirequency of rivers and springs
is the chief defect of the country, though
waters may be obtained in most places, by
digging. The climate of California, and it: ,
deed of all the country on the west side of
the Rocky Mountains, is considerably warm
er titan that of the country in the East Arts
of America, in the same latitudes. ,

Here is a profusion of forest trees, including
oak. elm, ash, beach, birch, planzy, and ma
ny varieties 'of pines. Limestone and clay,
and its abundance of vegetable and animal
life, and the fertility of sonic of its districts,
it strikingly contrasts with Lower California.
Although many fruits are easily cultivated,
few are indigenous. Among the wild ani
mals, are the American lion, the American
tiger, buffaloes, stags, roes, elks, the wild
mountain cat, bears, wolves„jackalls, numer
ous herds of wild cattle, foxes, polecats, otters,
beavers, 'hares, rabbits, and a profusion of
other kinds of game. The elk and argali
' are domesticated. The bison is hunted for
1 its skin, which is used in many parts of
ISpanish America as a bed or carpet. Birds
are exceedingly abundant. The-sea contains
exhaustless stores.
"The Indians are seldom over 5 feet high.
They have a timid carriage, are indolent.
and without any of the boldness, industry,

1 From California-3 Weeks Later.
E
I The New York Herald of Jah. 21st has
the following announcement :-
1 We received, last night, but too late for
this day's paper, an extremely interesting
correspondence front ouragent in California
a gentlemen who has been a resident there
for several years—confirming, in every }kir
t denier, the accounts which we have hitherto
received privately, as well as officially, from
this wonderful region. This intelligence is
,ihree weeks later than any received in this
city. The last news we had, reached down
to the 25th of October. This correspon
dence is dated at Monterey, on November
the Hith. We 'shall publish it to-morrow,
at length.
We cannot hesitate to declare that, from
the statements made by our correspondent,
there are strong reasons for believing thatall
04e... -government officers now in. California
are digging for gold, night and day, and'
that wifen they leave that country many of
.01m will probably be worth a Million of
dollars. Governor Mason and all his offi
cers, men, mules, and wagons, with the ex
ception of two or three men who were oblig
ed to remain at Monterey, at headquarte'rs,
have been three times at the gold diggings,
up the Sacramento, engaged in the most ac-
tive manner, in collecting the metal, which
was found in the greatest abundance. Our
correspondent also states that lumps_ of gold
of a pound weight have been frequently
found, and pieces can be dug out of the crev
ices of rocks ; that it is the most wonderful
country 'ever yet discovered. In confirma
tion of these statements, he writes, by a pri
vate letter, under his own siwiature, which,
if known, would command theb - elief of' the
most incredulous community the sun ever
shonern. We also learn that Col. Ste
venso formerly of New York, is figuring
wonderfully in California.' tlis regiment is
disbanded and the whole .of them are no*
engaged in the gold diggings. Our corres
pondent is of opinion that should operations
go onln the same ratio they have• begun,
upwards of one hundred millions of dollars
will be ,annually collected in Californiu.

Letters lb the Government
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. •1849
The Union of this morning 'publishes let
ters from Lieut. Larkin, received at the
State Departm!mt-, and dated Monterey, Nov.
16th. He states that the gold is increasing
in size and quality daily. Lieut. Larkin
farther states that he has examined several
pieces of the precious metal weighing from
one to two rounds each, and has heard . of
several . lumps being found weighing sixteen
pounds each, and of one lump that weighed
twenty-five pounds.
Many men who were, comparatively
speaking, beggars .last June, are now worth
twenty thousand dollars, accumulated by
digging and trading with the Indians. One
Ira:itched dollars is considered an ordinary
day's work. From July to October nearly
one half of the diggers were sick with fevers,
though there had not been many deaths.
The Indians trade an ounce of gold dust for'
a common calico shirt. Others sell it at ten
dollars per ounce for specie. The gold re
gion is known to extend three hundred miles
and the probability is that it extends to the
distance of one thousand miles.
A letter from Corn. Jones 'states that
things are in a deplorable condition. An
archy prevails. Even his officers •are dis
posed to desert for the gold regions. Seve
ral petty officers and seamen have already
deserted his ship. He says that the. Indians
are now selling gold dust at fifty cents per
ounce.
Additional California News.
BALTI MOH E, Jan. 21. 1849
A number of vessels that have arrived
lately, have been deset tud by captains, cooks,
and all haruls. The captain of the ship
Isaac Walton offered discharged soldiers
$5O per month to go to Callao, but th'ey re
fused to accept. The captain was finally
supplied by government sailors. All the
United States vessels at San Francisco and
Monterey are short of hands. The United
States ship-of-the-line Ohio is one hundred
and fifty hands short, and sailors continue
to desert at every opportunity.
The populations of Oregon and the Sand
wich Islands are rapidly pouring into Cali
fornin.
Nearly all the soldiers, and some of the
officers of the Third Artillery, have deserted
and set otit for the gold regions.
Provisions are very scarce, and almost
any price is paid for them in the currency
of the country—gold dust.
Board cannot be obtained for less than
four dollars per day. Washing is six dol
lars per dozen.

Exemption from Debt.—The Laws pf Wiscon
sin exempt from execution and sale for debt
about $l,OOO worth of personal property, besides
a homestead of forty acres, or a town lOt not ex
ceeding:half an acre, with the improvements on
them, to which no value is attached. No fears
are apprehended that the law will not work well:
although it is said it clears three qudrters.of the
population from all legal responsibility for debt.
