In 1825, Victoria, then President of the Mexican Republic, decided not to confirm Arguello in office, and in February, 1825, appointed Lieutenant Colonel Jose Maria de Echeandia, Governor of both Californias. He met Arguello at San Diego, October 31, 1825, and received the government at his hands. Arguello resumed his former office of Commandante of San Francisco, from which office he was removed in 1829, owing to his dissipated habits. He died March 27, 1830, at the age of forty-six.
