THE NEWS FROM NIcARAGuA-PRocREss OF
THE ExPEDIrIoN.-It has been announced
that the city of Granada has surrendered to
Col. Walker and his California volunteers,
aided by 800 native troops. Among those
who figured in this expedition are Lieat.
Col. Charles j. Gilman, formerly of Balti-
more,) Parker H.. French, Col. Hornsby, D.
B. Fry, Major E. Sanders, Captains Brewter,
S. Austin, c. Turnbull, G. R. Davidson and
Jesse Hambleton, and Lieuts. Sashbrook,
Rudler, Jones and Archibald, and others.
After the capture of the city. the residents
held public meetings and rendered Walker
the Presidency of Nicaragua, which he de-
clined in favor of General Corrall.
Mr.. Wheeler, the American Minister, hav-
ing been entreated by a large number of in
huential citizens to proceed to Riyas, to con-
fer with Gen. Corrall as to terms of peace
and his acceptance of the presidency, finally
complied, after much doubt as to the pro-
priety OF his interference Arriving at Rivas,
and learning that Gen. Corral was absent,
Col. Wheeler attempted to return, but was
prevented by the Governor, and detained
two days, his quarters being guarded by a
detachment of troops, nor was he released
until the town was threatened with an attack.
This breach of faith on the part of the Cor
rails forces led to u spicy correspondence
between our Minister and the General. On
the22d, however, atreaty ofpeace was formed,
and thus Walkers victory became complete.
During the progress of these events, others
of importance were Transporting. Two of the
steamer with California passengers were
fired upon by the natives, as stated yesterday,
and several lives lost. On the 10th, Col. Fry
and Parker A. French, with sixty men, en-
barked on board the Virgin, which also car
ried the passengers and specie from Califor-
MIA, with the intention of capturing San Car
los. The occupants of the town, however,
fired upon the steamer with a cannon, and
the expedition was abandoned, Col. Fry be-
ing unwilling to risk the lives of the passen-
gers.
Col. Kinney was pursuing the event ten
or of his way, perfecting plans to secure a
large emigration from the United States,
with every prospect of carrying them out
successfully. He had despatched Col. Chas.
Whitehead, formerly of Georgia, to the
United States to secure emigrants for Cen
trail America. r. S. Correll, the successor
Of Consul Fabens, has entered upon his du-
ties at Greytown.
