from gentleman that came down from Sonora

The True Delta of Saturday, s1st ult., says !:
The Steamship Daniel Webster, Capt Lucas
arrived at late hour last night, bringing dates
from San Francisco to the 9th inst The pur-
DER Of the Webster furnishes US with the fol-
lowing memoranda:
The Steamer Daniel Webster, Capt. Lucas,
left New Orleans on her regular day of sailing,
for San Juan. When three days out while
passing Cape San Antonio, was brought-to
with shottcd gun from Spanish sloop. of.war,
mounting "a guns, and her papers demanded
and overhauled, under protest of the captain.
The only reason given for SO doing, was that
that they served all steamships that passed the
Island the same way, after which we were al
lowed to 60 on our course. The steamship Star
Of the West, Capt Turner, came into port one
day after the Webster, with $50 passengers
from New York. Both left the harbor on the
cath, withpassengers from San Francisco The
Star of the West had 100000 in specie. The
town of San Juan is dull and quiet.

pany The news from the State of Nicaragua
is of some importance; Chomoro is dead; he
died on the 18th inst and was buried on the
following day with military honors; thus Mic
aragua is without President, which, it is
thought may tend renewal of the war, but
should Coral become the chief of the people,
and such result is possible, he being a pop
ular and liberal minded man, it would be the
means perhaps Of preventing further bloodshed
and contention. The revolutionists have been
driven from the vicinity of Granada, and
have returned to Leon, where they have made
stand,
On the 10th inst. force was despatched un-
der Gen. Coral and it is probable that deci-
siye collision by this time has taken place
BY many persons previous to the death of Cho-
moro, it was presumed the revolution was
nearly over, and that quiet would soon be re-
stored. Communication is now open between
Granada and part Of San Juan-the line of the
Transit is entirely in possession of the Govern
ment Expectation and importation have again
been renewed. There is probability of the GUS
tomhousc being established at CASTILLO Rapids
instead of at San Carlos, as heretofore Such
is the prevailing rumor.
