A letter from Greytown, of October 19, in the
Tanurna Star, nays that on the 10th of October
General Walk^r mirched upon Moseys, with 800
into, leaving but a very smelt force at Granada. In
the mean time Grenada f,ll into the hands of •
party of 300 Chncorrists from Coantalee, who com-
pletely sacked the city, and carried off all Walker's
stores of ammunition and provisions, and even the
furniture, clothing, and private papers which they
found in his !mute. In the meantime, when Walker
got within two miles of Massy., the allied forces
came out to meet him, and a skormish ensued, after
which they withdrew to the town, bat when he at-
tacked it ha bad a very warm reception. lie fell
back again upon Granada, which at his approach
was evacuated by the band who bad occupied it.
They got off, however, with their plunder, and left
Walker io a critical position. If they had burnt the
town he would have been completely ruined. The
few Americana who were in Granada behaved well,
defending the ordnance, guard-house, and hospital.
The next battle which most be fought at Moseys
will probably decide the fate of Central America,
and were it not for the jealousy of the native forces
there is no doubt on what side the victory would be.
