 i The news from San Juan is astounding Col. Kinney has been elected Governor of that To- cality, has issued an inau 5ural aldress and ap- 1 pointed cabinet, and Col. Walker has been engaged in desperate battle, in which he tri- umphed. A cores pondent of the N. Y. Times, writing f'om San Juan del Norte, on the 10th of September, says of Col. H. l.. Krnnev:
 Since he has been among Us lie has acquired il wonderful popularity, by conducting him. self modestly and preserving perfect order and decorum among his men. 1 was at the Astor House in New York in May last, and a gentle man at the break fast table one morning was talking with friend about the Kinney expedi- tion. He said that the Nicaragua Transit com pany had, at great expense, mounted a F poun- der on the fort at Castillo Rapids Another gentleman at table, evidently from the south, looked towards a lady at his side, aud observed m quiet tone of voice, Kinney II have that gun" Now, that gentleman, whoever he was, had got hlnney's measure correctly. He had probably known him in Texas, and had seen his indomitable perseverance there and felt that there was no such word as fail in his die ! tionary.
 It was evident, before the Colonel had been among us week, that he was the man to take the lead in affairs here. Some opposed him, thinking, that he was at lo5gerheads with the
 United States and their Greytown claims might suffer, if they endorsed him here. But they soon saw that he was no tilbuster-and then they began to hint darkly to ono another their ideas, and then to talk openly ill the streets, till fin- ally, the Infection spread to such an extent that a public meeting of the citizens was called, and the Colonel was elected Governor by acclama- 1 ton.
 So far ali went we'll A few days after the inauguration of Governor Kinney, and as soon as the government was organized, notice was served upon the British and American Consuls
 The acting Consul, MT. Mason (Mr Fabens, you know, on account of his association with Col. Kinney, was not permitted by the United
 States to resume his functions here,) promptly
 recognized the new government. 1 have not
 seen his letter, but l understand 1t was quite
 satisfactory to the Governor. But the Brit

 The truth is, England secs that great things are to be accomplished down here, and would
 like to hold on to this coast little longer.
 have no idea however, that she will interfere to
 prevent Governor Kinney from colonizing his , own lands, but think she would like much to have it done under the august shadow of His , Majesty, the Mosquito King-the faithful ally O,

 The Kinney expidition has succeeded. They have built houses, cut roads, planted farms es- tablished school church, and free library They have brought out newspaper, the Gen. trai American, a copy of which you will re- , ceive~by this vessel. This has been done by amateurs, there not being single practical

 served to give the expedition lift

He ? talks of establishing constitution and laws e of preserving inviolate personal rights enjoyed !, before the establishment of the "present govern . ment," and all that sort of thing.
