NICARAGUA.

Since our last advices from Greytown nothing
had been done by the filibusters excepting the
repair of the steamer Scott, which vessel left Punta
Arenas on the 25th ult., in excellent condition, with
the recruits and a quantity of provisions and am-
munition for Walker's army. She was to carry the
troops to Fort Slatter, at the mouth of the river
San Carlos ; thence to convey the force required to
to open the river above, to Machuca rapids;
thence the force Would go around the rapids,
as it probably could not pass over, and cut a
road across to Castillo. The plan was to proceed
immediately to San Carlos, after taking Castillo,
and to invest it, by landing below and attacking it
on the north side.

. The force tinder Lockridge was considerably
more than four hundred, one hundred and twenty
of which would remain at Serapique, and seventy
five at Fort Slatter, at the mouth of the San Carlos
river. These stations were to be permanently
garrisoned.
The only item of news of any ith)ortance known
at San Juan, froth the interior was, the death of
ex• President Rivas, by assassination at Leon. The
news was received by the wife of Ramon Rivas, the
son of the deceased.

It would appear that an attempt had been made
to supersede Lockridge (by (loneral Hornsby),
" which attempt failed on account of the prompt
and manly resistance of Loekridge.'
The correspondent of the Aspinwall Courier,
writing on the 19th ult. from San Juan del None,
says :
Nothing of importance has occurred on the river since the
retreat of colonel Titus and his mon from Castillo, The
Walker force is stationed at Serapiqui, and on the island at the
mouth of the river San Carlos. The Costa Ricans are at
Castillo, their pickets extending down near 111.tehuca rapids.
Colonel Lockridge has been here several days with the river
steamer Rescue, awaiting the arrival of the Texas from New
Orleans, by which he expected to receive large reinforcements.
The Texas arrived last night, bringing 140 men and also
provisions. They went up the river this morning. It appears
that the Costaßican force that drove Colonel Titus from Castillo
consisted of only fifty men, while the force under Tittis
numbered about two hundred; the Costa Ricans boast greatly
about the attar. There is no reliable news from Walker,

PANAMA,

The U.S. Origaba, arrived .at Panama on the
23rd March. She brought 122 passengers for the
Texas, she also landed at San Juan del Sur 20 men
for Walker's army. On the 16th Walker attacked
San George with 400 men, leaving a force 'under
General Heningsen to defend Rivas, while he
was marching to San George. Walker found
that the allies had attacked Rivas, he
immediately returned and had a severe
battle, at which the allies sustained a loss of 300
men, Walker losing only two. Casey had succeeded
in cutting his way through from San Juan del Sur
to Rivas, losing forty men. [This is the report of
Walker's official organ.]
The South Pacific steamer arrived at Panama
on Saturday evening, March 21. Vivaneo stopped
her, and took 1,000 of Castillo's muskets, bound
to Paita, also 30,000 -dols in specie.
The Aspinwall Courier says the transhipment of
the filibusters per the steamers from San Juan
del Norte to Aspinwall had become an intolerable
nuisance, " and a prompt resistance is due from
the residents of Aspinwall, and the Isthmus, to this
continual outrage."
