The man who is accused of being at the
head of this alarming conspiracy Gra-
ham, is Kentucky Hunter, who has re-
sided in California many years, and has
always shown himself firm and efficient
friend of the present governor, no indeed
is indebted to him for the station which
he now holds. When California revolted
from the Mexican yoke, Alvarado the
leader of the revoutionists was assisted by
a band of Kentuckians under Graham,
who took possession of the fort, and COM
PEELED the Mexcans TO surrender the town
of Monterey to Alvarado, who was cho-
sen Governor of California. After G.a-
ham and his hardy band of ritlemen had
left the town, the Mexican soldiers retook
the fort and again established the Mexi-
can supremacy. In this dilemma Alvara-
do sent word to Graham, who Immediate
ly returned, took the place by surprise,
and such was the terror which this small
band of rifemen had inspired, that the
MeXicans surrendered the fort without an
effort TO maintain their ground though out
numbering their assailants three to one.
When, after the Revolution, California
was again united to Mexico, Alvarado

the mouth of the harbor, without seeing
any thing of the A. we again ian into the
bay, to ascertain if she had arrived. A
barque under Mexican colors, was at an
chor, but no other vessel in port. The
Guard boat came alongside and ordered
US to send our boat for Mr. F. (the passen-
ger who had been left ashore) and put to
sea Immediately, lest we should again be
obliged to anchor. We learned from him
that the barque, the 'Guypasquana,' was
there for the purpose of taking the pris-
oners to Mazatan or San Bias, and that
they were then embarking them, all be-
ing in irons. From Mr. F. we learned
many particulars of the late outrage, and
of the origin of the rumor which caused
it. According to his account it all arose
from the idle boasts of party of rcvel-
lers over their cups, which were reported
to the governor by man named Garner,
or Gardner, who bore deadly hatred to
Graham from some fancied or real insult
and who took advantage of some idle
words which he had heard Graham make
use of, to alarm the governors fears by
informing him that plot was Matching
