From Nicar1gua--By the Gren-
ada at New Orleans we have intelli-
gence via Aspinwell from Nicaragua,
the scene of the Walker and Kinny
fllibusterlng expeditions.
Walker, it is stated, continues to
hold possession of San Juan del Sud
has force Of 200 men, 60 Of whom
are Americans, and the remainder
Nicaraguans-that he expected 100
men and two cannon from Realejo,
and that he would, on the receipt of
this reinforcement, attack Rivers,
where government forces are posted.
The steamer Sierra Nevada, having
arrived at San Juan del Sud with
large quantity of arms for the govern
ment party, Walker went on board
and after declaring that he bore no
hostile feelings and destined no inter
ferance against the affairs of the
Nicaragua Steamship or Transit Com
panics, be told the Captain he never
theless conld not permit him to deliver
up arms to his foes, when he had it i'm
his power to prevent-and the Cape
tain hand them over to Walker.
Col. Kinney has concluded treaty
with the Indians on his POSSESSIONS,
which will prove of the utmost impor-
tauce and benefit becsuse it will enable
them, through the means and assis- .
lance Of the Indians, to lay open with
greater ease the resources of the
country, with which the latter acknowl-
edged themselves to be intimately
acquainted. The Colonel is daily ex-
pecting more men from the States on
their arrival the aspect of things will
be changed; roads will be cleared and
many other things will be done, which
the want Of labor now prevents.

deceased lady at Milwaukee, the burn

the Interference Of the police last week
has replied to the coarse and savage
article Of tie 1merican in a manner to
shame the writer, if he be susceptible
Of the sentiment. He shows by the
affidavits Of physicians and others that
It was the earnest desire of the wife
hat her body should be burned. and
such was to have been his funeral rites
lad she been the survivor. He argues
he propriety Of such a disposition of

nony with refined poetic sentiment
