Arrival of the Sea Bird.
LATEljl FROM SAN DIEGO.
The Set Uird brings dates from San
Diego andfLos Angeles to the 13th. The
former intelligence of the suppression of
the Indian;, disturbances is fully confirmed
but it is fe'ared that the peace is only tem-
porary . Antonio Garra, the chief who
has organized the hostile Indians, has
been takeú prisoner, and will as soon as
possible be tried by the civil authorities.
He had nojt reached Los Angeles yet, but
there was bo doubt that he would be tried
'contlemiietj and executed. It is thought
that his exection will cause a more serious
outbreak ojn the part oí the Indians.

It is saijl that ( Jarm, the chief who has
been captured, charges certain ('alifor-
nians withiinstigating him to the revolt.
His object ¿was, as he is reported to have
asserted. t<i impose the enormous taxes.
Mr. \\ arncr, whose Rancho was at-
tacked a sUort time since, declares that he
has lost everything. His house was
burnt and \iis cattle driven olF.
i he trooos who left this city in the
¡Sea Bird oil the 8th inst. were safely
lendcd at fcsan Diego on the morning of
the 13th, under command of Lieut. Ham-
ilton. M:.jor. Heintzelman at the re-
quest of Dr. Wozencraft, immediately
procured a guide for the party,and through
the zealous' activity of Maj. McKinstry,
'the troops were well equipped and in
inarching order on the night of that day.
Maj. Heintzelman with eighty soldiers,
including t}ic fifty taken down on the
Sea Bird, vasto leave San Diego early on
the morning of the 24th for Aguas Ca-
lientes. T'íie Indian Commissioner, Dr.
Wozencraft would accompany hiui, to
try the elFtct of peaceful overtures. The
general impression is, however, that there
•can be no listing peace until the Indians
are soundly beaten.
The San Diego Herald of the 11th inst.
publishes the following letter from the
Indian chief Garra, This is the second
•one he has written, and was received on
the 6th inst;. :
Mr. Joaquin Ortego: I salute you.
•Some time I have been waiting here the
answer, to know clearly. For that this
is not my will ; it is for all in one. We
have got tc help with our lives, because
Ijwcare invited to lose our lives. I sent a
letter to Jose Estudillo—as yet he sends
no answer. I also sent a letter above. I
am here with the Cahuillas, and for this I
say to you that you hasten to animate the
Captains, before any Americans can ar-
rive. Because here is Politano, also the
people of Raz on* and they are hurrying
me to go there. For that, I say to you.
that you will arrange quickly, because it
is for all that the damage has been done.
They do nót rise for anything but the
Taxes—noifor the mere wish of revolt-
ing. Nothing more.
I am here in the Gallotes.

LETTER FROM MR. THRASHER.
The following es&act of a letter from
Mr. John S. Thrasher, written after his
arrival in Spain, wilJJ^e read with interest:
.V. O. Picayunc.
Cadiz, Spain.
I arrived here on the 3d inst., (January)
after a pleasant passage. I found here
letters of the kindest tenor from Mr. Bar-
ringer, our Minister at Madrid. Mr. Bur-
ton, our Consul here, has been exceedingly
polite and attentive. As yet, the Minister
writes me. he has no news from Washing-
ton. but he doubts not that he will obtain
my immediate liberation so soon as he can
act officially in my behalf. On my arri-
val here every consideration was shown
towards me. Soldiers were sent from the
city to take two other fellow-prisoners of
mine ashore. But, for me, a separate boat
was §ent, with two gentlemen, dressed in
plain clothes, to accompany me. Instead
of taking me at once to my prison, they
led me over the city and showed me all
the principal edifices, public walks, &c.
Here, in prison, I have a fine, large
apartment to myself; and, when taken
out from among the other prisoners, Gen.
Lopez's mulatto boy to wait on me. I
have the range of the whole building,
and have been able to improve in a great
degree the condition of the prisoners here.
They comprise all who are not Americans
or English.
While at Vigo all the Lopez prisoners,
who were still ther<^ came on board to see
me. The ship's decks were, at one time,
full of them They gave me a very en-
thusiastic reception.
The mail steamer from Havana has net
yet arrived—she left on the 4fch December
last—but to-morrow I hope to hear from
home. I am in good health.
Your obedient servant,
John S. Thrasher.
