the eve of the US conquest — on José Mª Covarrubias's mission to Mexico City (a detailed exposition on the Californias' precarious state): the President, aware California is 'codiciada de algunas Naciones extranjeras,' reports an expedition already 'en camino' with War/Treasury providences so the Department can 'repeler cualquier intento del exterior.' Touches Sutter's fort on the Sacramento (to be removed), Stephen (Esteban) Smith & colonization, Híjar's 1845 commission, a deferred Sandwich-Islands (Hawaii) consul; orders Pío Pico to continue serving; forwarded to Subprefect Abel Stearns (LA)
