AMERICA.
' General Harney, ' says a letter from Vancouver's Island, *is gone at last. His conduct towards the Hudson's Bay Company was so outrageous that his government repudiated his proceedings, and promised to make amends lot the injuries he inflicted upon the company. In fact, the authorities at Washington appear 10 have become ashamed of him, and he has been recalled, it is said, to undergo 'an inquiry." The American force on San Juan remains as he left it. Our marines are also still stationed on the island, and it is much to be regretted they cannot be spared to be placed on points o:i Vancouver's Island where their presence is rendered necessary to protect our settlers from the Indians. The savages, it is true, have not as yet molested any of the whites, but their frequent fierce and bloody frays among themselves terrify the settlers.
