MONTEREY.
This city is said to be situated in the most beautiful valley in America, rivaling in splendor and variety of scenery the far-famed valley of Cashmere. Hills rise above hills on all sides, until they pierce the clouds; the houses are all well built, the streets paved, and lamps at each corner. The gardens are well watered and filled with all descriptions of tropical fruits; grapes, oranges, apples, pears, pomegranates, dates, figs, citrons, lemons, limes, and in fact everything that will grow anywhere else is here found in the greatest abundance. Oranges cost nothing. Arista's garden is most beautiful; vases, statuary baths, &c., are seen in every direction, and there are many others of the same kind in the city.
