Walker is doubtless there by this time, with
his little force, and Mr.. French is probably

have enlisted in various parts of the State for
the enterprise-add this to the sixty-thre of
Walker, and we have one hundred and thir-
teen eager expeditionists, determined to re-
store liberty and order to that very warm part
OF the continent We can guarantee plenty of
aguadiente, fruit, jiggers, fevers, rain, treach-
ely, and small glory; but what else the re-
formers will obtain, we must estimate from the
history of the English and Prussian attempts

the last half century.
