We publish elsewhere an important extract from
letter dated Guatemala, Oct. B. 1t states that the
allies we're preparing to dsspatca formidable force
to reinforce the army already in the field against
Gen. Walker. Two thousand men were to be sent from
Guatemala six hundred from San Salvador, aud one
thousand from Costa Rica. These contingents, it IL
said would increase the number OF the invaders to
sore eight thousand men, all epresented to be well
equipped for service, and confident Of quickly ami
hilating Walker and his parsizans. The results Of
the battles at Masaya and Granada doubtless some
what modified the expectations of the allies in this
respect.
