I FIRST DISCOVI&y OF TUE CALIFORNIA GOLD •MrsEs.--Trom an article in Harper's forth-coming BiograPhical-Cyclopedia, we learn that the gold minesiOf California were drat dis covered by the Jestiits, about the middle 'of the ast century. The Jesuits concealed their dis covery from the Government, and the suspicion that they had donelso perhaps had something to do with their expulsion from. Mexico. In 1769, Don Jose Gaivez,lMarquis of-Senors un dertook an expedition into California to ascer tain the truth of the reports respecting the gold lin the rivers, the soit and the rocks!: 'He Was accompanied' bY the icelebrated Don Miguel Jbse de Arenza, who, discouraged bF the ruit less search of a few weeks, recommended the 'abandonment of the enterprise, and for con- - tending that the ;Marquis was insane for pro. .. I ; ceedmg was thrown intb prison, where be re- Imained several months • ' Nothing at alLsatis ',factory, however,'appears to have.resultea from the search of Galvca ; though the Jesuits dis closed,. in Spain and in 'Franen„that th_el char : 11 Rea , iutrconeekliiient,'made against , -them, were true.' CAPTURE OP ,AI 'SLAVER WITU OVER 400 SLAVES.—Capt. - Kennard of ship Gabdwin, from Calcutta, last from St. Heleha October 12, reports that a Brig of upwards of 400 Slaves arrived at St. Helena in October, hating been captured by 1T B.

She ha - been previously baarded several times by 4 8.:4. ship Dart, when She was always - represented Its the Americah brig, Fredriea, with Americant colors and paws.- She was taken at Conga, river,. at-whichi place it appears she had been !delivered to Brazilian purchasers. The ,cook,iwho was on board at the time of her ca ure, was on board previous it to her being delive , ed to the Brazilians) She was sent to St. He ens fad adjudication in the' Admiralty Court. , Abont forty of the negroes died on the passhg . - The others were init in the depot, and whe in proper condition, if they are willing, will be sent - to one of the Weat Itt. dia Islands.
