We have received information, on which we
place implicit reliance, that Commodore Soat took
possession Of Monterey on the 9th July last. On
the 9Th July, Commander John B. Montgomery, Of
the Portsmouth, summoned the commandant Of
Yerba Buena TO surrender What the result of this
summons was, we are not informed.


A few days previously to the 9th july detsch-
msnt from Col. Fremont's force took possession OF
a frontier post called Sonoma to the north Of San
Francisco. General Castro attempted to dislodge
them; but after slight skirmish, and the arrival Of
Col. Fremont in person, he, Castro, retreated.


There appears to have been as much dissension
among the Californians before the arrival Of Com,
sloat, existed in other parts Of Mexico. on the
18th June junta met at Santa Barbara, headed by
Governor Pco, to declare California independent;
which movement was met by proclamation from
the CommaRdant General Castro, declaring martial
law throughout the country.
