By the arrival of the steamer Goliab, Los Anglo papers of the 21st, and the San Diego Herald of the 16th are received.

WAR IN THE BAST—BATTLE OF THE ALMA.

: Notwithstanding the contradictory rumors in regard to the treaty tor the annexation of the Sandwich Islands to the United States, there' ia no reasonable doubt, not only that a treaty providing for annexation baa been agreed upon, but that it ia now in this country for the sanction of the General Government. It was a matter of notoriety at the time that Mr, Gregg, the U. S. Commissioner, at the Islands, was sent ont with full powers to agree upon a treaty; and undoubtedly the present administration is ambitious to identify itself with the consummation of an act so important and popular as would bo the acquisition of these prolific islands of the Pacific.

A report was brought to the crossing of the Colorado, that a company of fifty emigrants, all of whom were from Texas, were murdered on the 31st of August by the Indians. Several women and children it is feared were doomed to a more horrid fate, and six hundred head of cattle carried off. The hews was brought by a train a few hours in the rear, and which happily escaped. Other parties of Americans encountered Indians near Teuson, and one American was killed. The Apachas are bceoming more troublesome every day. Twenty-ffvo Americans perished for want of water on.

"Soma since, we were one of that rushing crowd ever pouring np and down Broadway. When in front of St; Paul's Church, all eyes wore attracted by the appearance of the crew of the French *ar vessgl) La Bella Poulo, which then visited the United States under the command of Prince do Joinville- Ali the crew wert in their naval dress uniform, bright and beautiful, and were carelessly sauntering along seeing the sights. All at once they stopped, formed a line, faced inward, and uncovered. How exquisite and touching was the sceno when was discovered in that thoughtless, busy hurrying crowd, a man of foreign birUi, evidently poor and friendless, under whoso arm was tenderly carried a tiny coffin, and by his side the stricken mother. They were in search of a burial for their babe, and were Jostled end unheeded by that gay torrent of humanity, until they met these hardy, tempest-tossed mariners, who on the instrnl, with bared heads, stood in silent respect while the sacred ashee of the unknown infant were passihg. Such are Preach manners."

Mr. Gregg, as is well known at Washington-, bos been indefatigable in prosecuting the duties of bis mission. Ho met with obstacles at the outset from the fact that ho was a C ttbolic—an almost unpardonable offense in the estimation of the present ruler of the Islands. Cut this obstacle was overcome, and Sir. G. soon found bis propositions received with marked favor by nearly all, except the Heir Apparent, and a few of his immediate foiends and partisans. It is believed that at least four-fifths of the natives, and nearly as large a proportion of the foreign residents, are in favor of the measure. Indeed it is well understood at Washington that the orly opponents of annexation, of any influence, arc among the French, Germans and English, who are apprehensive that their business and influence would bo materially injured'by a union with this Government.

The allies had changed their plan and were to attack Savastopol from the South, where it wav-found to bo weaker, 4*

Tub Batteries op Sabastopol.—There were 722 guns in the batteries of Sabastopol on the 6 th of January last, of which 104 defended Fort Constantine on the north side of the harbor, and 192 defended Fort Nicholas, 80 Fort Panl, and 64 Fort Alexander, on the south side—-There were at the same time, in the harbor two three deckers of 84 guns each, 3 frigates, 2 corvettes, 3 brigs, 2 war steamers, and two alupa of the line hot fitted. The number of ships has since been increased.

They had only tho simplest tools, and were inaking from 82 to 84 per day. By land he continued on until ho proceeded in the equator 90 miles, and found other natives similar to those above mentioned. He continued his search in every direction, and discovered some of the richest deposits of gold and silver ever found in, that section.

We learn, from well informed sources at Washington, that the terras of the Treaty, are substantially as follows: The Islands are to bo at once admitted into the Union, not as a Territory, but as a State —with full State sovereign powers. In consideration of this surrender of their national sovereignly, the United States, beside agreeing to respect all existing charters, land titles, &c„ are to pay some 800,000 or 84,00,000 annually as life annuities to such persons as the sovereign authorities shall designate. It is believed that the number who will be declared entitled to share in this annuity will not exceed thirty individuals, including the King, his two sons, and the members of the House of Kohl ess, all of whom are now rich, and constitute the great land owners of the kingdom. Their ages will average about 40 years; and the sum to be paid to each will cease to be a debt npon the United Stales Government nt their death.

A portion of her letters arrived in the George Law, being the first that over arrived in this place traveling the entire distance hy steam. By the arrival of the Peyton a at San Francisco intelligence is received of the long missing Arctic ship Enterprise, which arrived at Port Clarence on the 2lst of August. Bhc lost only three men during the whole time. The enterprise entered the Arctic in the summer of 1851,. and passed through the Prince ot Wales Strait, but, finding the ice impracticable, she passed the winter of *51-52 in lat. 7135 N., Ion. 117 25 W.

Beside the sovereignty of the Islands, all the Government property—including buildings, claims upon foreign governments, dec., will it is understood, be transferred to the U. S. Government by this treaty. The value of these buildings alone are said to exceed 61,500,000, and the claims upon the French and British Governments to - about 8500,000 more; making an aggregate of82,000,000. These terms, although not extravagant, are sufficiently liberal. The Islands would prove important acquisitions to the United States, commercially and politically. Our rapidly growing commerce in the Pacific reqmfts them as places of trade ami shelter. Their products arc exactly what our ships require, and in the event of a war with any commercial nation their possession would be invaluable. Nor will all the benefits of this ac qnisition Be upon our side. The Islands will at once feel the impulse of new life, and become, ultimately, as rich as they are now salubrious.

Alleged lie-appearance ol (be Loudon Plague.

The Russian foreo in the Crimea is 85,000, and and tho allies 59,000 including seamen. -

A story hag been circulated in this country of the frightful re-appearance of the London Plague, which ravaged that city about one hundred and fifty years ago, tho contagion having been derived from bones disinterred, in carrying a new sewer through Argylo street, by digging to an unusual depth. It is asserted that physicians have pronounced the disease: is not the cholera, but that it is undoubtedly tho plague, and that it is propagated by contagion, and is even more speedy in its fatal effects than the cholera. The writer of an article without date, which is copied from the Home Journal says: '‘The disease in a week from tho time at which it broke out hod completely ravaged the streets of Soho and its immediate vicinity, at the present moment Poland street, Argyle street, and others, are dosed against all passers. Half the shops in regent street arc shot np—the remainder are rapidly dosing. At two odock in the day, scarcely a dozen persons may he met in that great thoroughfare. In those streets which the disease is most speedily depopulating, the dead bodies are placed in the open air immediatdy that life has departed from them, so great is the fear of contagion. I have seen, in two instances, half a dozen bodies being carried off in black sacks, like hales of goods, for burial! You will easily judge how great a fright this has created. Every one who is able to do so has fied. London, generally at this time crowded, is now half depopulated.’*

Two Russian generals were taken at Alma. Their names arc Gornkoff and Slianoff, they said the Russians hod but 35,000 men at Alma, they considering that number sufficient to defend the position. Menschikoff sat on the higts and directed the battle. -The Turks bayoneted all the wounded Russians.

But, there is one additional fact which cannot fail to have an important influence in the decision of this question. These Islands—thanks to the spirit of true Christianity which has swayed tho councils of the kingdom—have i never tolerated slavery, and their soil is not only free from tho taint of that vile system, but tho sentiment of the people is emphatic in its condemnation of it. These Islands, therefore, will come in as a . Free State, and will add one more to tho undimmed stars which make up our glorious galaxy. —Albany Evening Journal .

Tbe Searchers Tor Sir John

Franltlin.

There are two expeditions still out in the Arctic region pursuing the bootless search for those who were long since locked in the cold embrace of death. These are the expeditions of Capt. Collinson, of consisting of ono vessel which entered tho Arctic region by the way of Behring’s Straits, and that of our own countryman, Dr. Kane. Tho N. Y Expten says; "It was the opinion of Capt. McClure, whose return to England in tho steamer Phoenix we announced a few days since, that Capt. Collinson has forsaken his vessel in one of our numerous creeks or bays on the western coast of tho North American continent, and he is now making his way homo over land. In this case wo ought to hear from those adventurers at some of the posts of the Hudson Bay Company this Fall. The other expedition is that of our own countryman, Dr. Kane, who was last heard from at Provah on the coast of Greenland, July 20, 1853, when he was about pushing to the northward into tho unexplored and icebound regions upon the northern coast of Greenland. The return of Dr. Kano is looked for this Fall, and we cannot refrain from joining in the universak hope that these expeditions safely delivered from their perilous situations, the dreary solitudes of the Arctic region will haver again he pehstrifted.

One week since saw him at the theatre applauding Madame Rachel, in three days he raanoeuvered a hun-' died thousand men at Bologna, and tonight he has retamed to Paris, That he has at heart the best interests of France, can hardly be doubted; at the same time he is not very popular in. Paris. Attempts upon his life are more frequent than the people are aware of. Three conspiracies to blow him up with infernal machines have been ( detectd within one month, and one scoundrel took a shot at him with a pistol without effect. 1 hi assassin was killed and planted at once. Napoleon is a man without fear, notwithstanding these attempts, he exposes himself freely at the opera, in the streets, and especially at Bologne.
