City Intelligence

FOREIGN EMIGRATION. The character of the immigration daily pouring onto our shores is a subject in which every good citizen feels a deep and intense interest. To those who are permanently settled here, and who have families, the moral worth of foreign arrivals commands more attention than a passing thought. The prosperity of our State, the peace and comfort of our citizens, and the happiness of society generally, are in a great measure affected by those who come from foreign climes to seek their fortunes in this country.

A few days since the ship Alphonse Cezard arrived at this port from Havre, bringing an addition of one hundred and sixty to our already large number of French inhabitants. It was feared by many of our citizens that many of the passengers were convicts who were shipped to rid their native country of their presence. We are happy to state that after a rigid and scrutinizing inquiry, the result has been most satisfactory. The Editor of the French Department of the Evening Picayune publishes a list of the passengers, with their different trades, professions, and occupations. In the list we notice learned professors of the different sciences, mechanics, and laborers of all trades and callings. The passengers come here under the immediate superintendence of gentlemen well known for their moral worth, and highly recommended to the favorable consideration of their brethren in California. Such an accession to our population is at all times desirable, and is more particularly a source of gratification to those whose interests are blended with the prosperity of our young State. The French citizens are noted for their enterprise, industry, and patriotism, have been our earliest and warmest friends, and deserve a friendly and cordial reception upon arriving on our shores.

A Singular Request. A Frenchman not intimately acquainted with the laws and institution of our country, came to the City Marshal's office, and stating that he had got into a slight difficulty with some one, asked that he might have a written official permit to go over to the Presidio, and settle the matter with small swords. The Marshal stated that he coald not exactly comply with his demand, and explained the penalities affixed by law to such acts. The Frenchman raised his eye-glass, took a long stare at the official, and then left the room in utter disgust to think that republican governments should so restrict their subjects.

The Echo du Pacifique contains a notice that Louis Napoleon has decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, Captain Bozec, of the Alphonse Nicolas Cezaro, which made the voyage from Havre to San Francisco in 108 days. Although the Americans were the first to construct clippers, they are not without rivals, though we do not see the best of the English and French vessels in our port.
