President Waller.

The probable fate of this man should
be warning to all fllibusters. He is a
man of much talent evidently, and of a
thorough education, having graduated in
medicine both here and in Paris, and af-
terwards passed through course of legal
study. lie is said, too, to have been re-
markably amiable in his disposition, and
until short time before falling among
fllibusters, lover of peace.
The second chapter of his life is brief
On the 18th of October last, he headed a
band of forty FIVE men and sailed from
San Francisco for Lower California with
intention to subvert the Government OF
that province. The company landed at
Cape St. Lucas, the extreme southern
point of the Peninsula, on the 2Sth; thence
pushing up the Gulf they landed at La
Paz on the Sd of November, kidnapping
the Governor, frightening off his house
hold, ran up their own pirate flag, skirm-
ished an hour and a half to the death Of
seven of the Mexicans, pronounced the
land on which they had done their mis-
chief a "New Republic" FASTENED back
to Cape St. Lucas, where they arrived on
the eth of November, slipped up to Mag
dalena Bay on the west coast, and then
for three weeks disappeared from our
sight.
Our late telagrapbic dispatches from
New Orleans resume the broken thread
They arrived at San Diego on the ID of
December and on the next day, while out
on an excursion, were attacked by the
Mexicans, twelve or fourteen of their num-
Der were killed and the remainder chased
to a house at Euseneba and held in siege
by several Numbered men, who had taken
possession of their boats. To all human
it would seem that the end of
this company of brayadoes was fast ap.
preaching. Its only hope of rescue lay
in the possible arrival of the bark Oaeta
which sailed from San Francisco on the
18th, with $50 men, and arms in plenty
for their relief. Should this rescueing
band be favored with fresh breezes, i'll
seems not impossible that they may ar
rive in time. But, starting ten days after
Walkers defeat,-the defeated reduced
in number, probably to some thirty or
even less, with an outraged populace
thirsting for their lives, it will be strange
indeed if they effect their escape. At
ny event, it is probable that the brief his
.ory Of the "Ncw Republic of California
may now be written, and no appendix ad-
led to make it perfect. t.--Ncao York Times.

At the latter distance, Major Mimic placed
