It will be seen that Com. Stockton, in his despatch of the next day to Mr. Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy, speaks thus of these occurrences : — " I have the honour to inform you of the arrival of Lieutenant-colonel Fremont at this place, with four hundred men— that some of the insurgents have made their escape to Sonora, and that the rest have surrendered to our arms. " " Immediately after the battles of the 8th and 9th, they began to disperse ; and I am sorry to say, that their leader, Jose M...a. Flores, made his escape, and that the others have been pardoned by a capitulation agreed upon by Lieut. Col. Fremont. " Jose Ma. Flores, the commander of the insurgent forces, two or three days previous to the 8th, sent two commissioners with a flag of truce to my camp, to make ' a treaty of -peace. '' I informed the commissioners that I could not recognise Jose Ma. Flores, who had broken his parole, as an honourable man, or as one having any rightful authority, or worthy to be treated with — that he was a rebel in arms, and if I caught him, I would have him shot.
