THE EXECUTION OP GENERAL WALKER.

In an American letter elated Traxillo, Sept. 18,
we read—" General William Walker was .hot on the 12th
instant, at eight o'clock a.m. lie showed throughout the
Mtest coolness, not even changing colour when walking
the prison to the plaza, where he was shot. Two
aoldiere, with drawn swords, advanced in front of him, and
three, with fixed bayonets, followed him. In his right
hand he tarried a hat, and in his left a crucifix. Before
taking his seat on the fatal re imie..te he requested the
priest in attendance, inasmuch as be coedit not speak loaf
enough to bo heard, to say to the people that he asked
the pardon of all whom ha bad injured in his
present expedition, ire., which is variously reported
by earions persons. He then sat down. A tile el
tea soldiers advanced and fired on the instant. He died at
once. The soldiers gave three cheers, and all was over.
His remains have been decently lmried, with the usual
rites of the church. I think there was a deep feeling of
sympathy for his fate on the pert of the people generally,
nor sloes there appear to be any spirit of vindictivt nese oa
the part of the government and its officers. Itudler is con-
demned to four years' imprieuninent, but I think he will be
liberated be' ore long. Matters are getting more quiet here,
but still American interests require looking after, and our
countrymen feel very anxious to buns if we are to expect
au American vessel in these waters. The English war
steamer is still here, and lo lung as she remains there will be
no risk to foreigners. They will not, however, sleep so well
when she leaves, not that the government or people gene-
rally are disposed to violence, but bessiuse there are always
a certain number of ladrones to profit by moments of excite-
meat and a popular prejudice. Such aprejudice does exist,
and is mainly the creation of the RUM who never succeeded,
and who now lies cold and stark in the Campo Santo at
Truxillo. This goes by the steamer Ihoenla, belonging to
the lino established by Mews. Squier and Spofford, of New
York, which now runs i egularly between this port and that
of Bannano, in Cuba, making two trip monthly. We hear
that the same parties are about putting on anothersteamer,
to be called the Olancho, to run hetweeu Calm, Omen, and
Belize. I fancy they will do inure for the interests of the
United States in these countries t ban all the filibusters,
part, present, and temple."
Another correspondent, evidently a Spaniard, writes :
"In his six days of imprisonment Walker had ample time
for thought, and conscience smote him on contemplating
his prison, and also on seeing the people that he 11.‘d de-
feated and driveu from their homes on the 6th of August
treating him with the greatest benevolence and kindness.
Owned to the place of death and being ready to be exe-
cuted, ho begged leave to addreas the people in these few
words :—' I declare myself to be a member of the Roman
catholic church. 1 declare tint I have injured the people
of Honduran to a great extent, being led to do so by the
people of the island of Beaten, who after calling me deceived
me and left me to my fate. I ask pardon for those poor
men that accompanied me, for they ore Dot as guilty as I
am. If my life can be of any benefit to society I lay it
down with the greatest medium*, paidoeiug my judge., that
I may be enabled to obtain my pardon in the next world.'
Thme were Lis het words, and with these the scene closed ;
it being worthy of notice that although the port of Truxillo
was attacked ruthlessly by hint, yet the people of the town
pitied bin), and in the whom crowd there was not one glad
countenance."
