Niagara, bound west.
A steamer, supposed to be the Arago, from
Havre, passed Trepassy, Newfoundland, at 4 p.m.

an abrupt check, and, instead of finding himself
dictating to the Nicaraguans, he was by last ac-
counts at Washington, whither he had been con-
veyed a prisoner. It appears from the accounts that
