PROTEST OP ORNER4L WALKER.

General Walker delivered the following protest
to the corrveroodeut of the New York Herald for pablL
owe

'• I /webs pretest before the civilised world that when I
sarrondered-to the ciaptsi• of her Ilitieety's steamer ir
that officer expreedy removed my sword and pistol, a
as the arms of Colonel Radler ; sod the 'unwed. was ex-
presaly and io so many words to him, as the rekridagive
of her Britannic Majesty. " WILLIAM ALIO&
" On board the steamer Icarus, Sept. 5, MO."
The New York papers publish a correepoodenoe between
Walker and C.ptam Salmon, but it does not relate to his
surrender to the Honduras authorities, which is unexplained.
The Hersh( makes the following omorissat on ths fade:
" e have no excuse. for Walker's foolish and criminal
cooduct in hie late expedition. It was begun in folly, con-
ducted with criminality, and has aided is blood. Had he
been captured by those whom he attacked, no t would
have attended his fate. But he was not captured by time
who have been his executioners. He surrendered without
resistance to ea officer of the British crows, mil that as..,
powerless and even without cause to execute him himself,
