POSITION OF WALKER IN NICARAGUA.

The New York papers received yesterday reduce
to jolter proportions the triumpts of Walker, of Nicaregas,
reported by the Arsgo. The New Fork Journal of COW
nwres of thel6th instant rentarke of the current victoria' :

" The accounts tell us that Walker had nand his own
aapital of Granada to the ground, leaving not a vestige of
Its existesee, and has removed the seat of his government
to Rivas. This looks like retreating. Granaue lies bo-
tween limeys and Rises, but is much nearer to klassaya.
Why did Walker burn the town of Granada 1 Was it to
prevent its falling into the enemy's hands, as be continued
his advance, which had already been accomplished from
Leon to Massey*, and might be still milord on in the corns
direction to Granada ? Bat we are told that the " fighting
at Massey* had ended in the entire defeat of the enemy.'•
Perhaps, there being no long( r any enemy to contend -, itli,
General Walker thought be bad no further business in the
North. So he went to the &math, where he could he at
hand to confront any new invasion from Costa Rica, or wel-
1-MIS the emigration from California, which, no doubt, his
success would tend to invite; or whence, if occasion should
require hint to revisit that State, he might easily repair to
San Jur n del Sur to embark. But . the inhabitants of Gra.
ned• had removed to Rivas with all their effects.' Pimibly,
then, the conflagration of thetown was a per.tioiveelpedieet
which the general adopted to induce a community to wb:clt
be had become attached by long residence amore them to
accompany him in his removal. Well, we shell know to
time. Fur the present, we can only be certain, tLat tun
allies must indeed be pretty well eatierniehed, SeelSß that
they . have lost 3,400 men in the various battles since
October.'
" P.B.—Since the above was in type we have erceived
advice. by the Tennessee. The intelligence they bring
fully confirms the views above eioreued. intilkitullf oar
, conviction that the victory claimed for the (Dined. re was in
fact • defeat, terminating in the flight of Walker t i the
vicinity Of the Transit route, where be mild be in read'.
nese either to take advantage of any sancurs that webt
etme from this country t i his relief, cr to aePil himself of
Isuch refuge and mesas a-f safety as the atcameri of the
Transit Company would afford."
