/ interview before orders were issued to the
officer Of the day, that Mr.. Kinney could not
be allowed to leave the limits ofs the city-he
was prisoner TO the State.
| On the 18th the government ordered COL
Kinney to be "banished from all the Nicara
guas, = and he left Grenada that evening His
destination, il is stated, is New Orleans
The Government of Guatemala has proposed
to that of San Salvador to unite and adopt
measures to oppose the extension of Walker
ism. The former has already increased her
army and purchased and armed several ships.
| The latter responds, pledging all its resources
10 defend its territory.
III Nicaraguense Of the 9th has q long edi-
toral in relation TO the league formed by all the
other Central American States against Nicara-
qua. Ii says: sgtf /.
Gas fitting conclusion to this inexplicable
concurrence Of events, we learn by private ad-
vices from San Salvador that Gen. CabaBas
had arrived in that State and was actively en-
gagged melting the people against the Ameri-
cans. He procams a fierce war of extermi-
nation against the army Of Gen. Walker, and
considers its destruction the only safety of Cen
trail America The people of San Salvador,
under his appeals, have shaken off their sym
pathy for the democratic government of Mica
ragua, and with fierce clamor demand the al
tentative of war; American residents are in
danger Of life and'property, and the procama
lion of the government called upon the citi
zens to arm in the cause of liberty. Under
the pressure of this excitement it was thought
that Gen. Duenas would be enthusiastically
chosen to the Presidency"
In the paper of the 10th we find the follow
ing:
The last courier from San Salvador, among
other items of news, brought a letter to General
Walker from Cabanas, in which the latter ad-
vised the former to leave the country. He did
not say why or how, but simply said 60. With
an army of thousand men TO provide the
means of transportation for, an unsettled ac-
count to adjust, polite and hospitable body of
friends in the State urging him to remain until
the dance was over, and slight tincture Of OBJ
stnacy, the General has declined TO be thus
unceremonously shaken off,
The advices from San Salvador confirm our
previous report that the people Of that State
were highly infamed against the Americans,
and under the counsel Of Cabanas might adopt
such measures as would necessarily provoke
war with Nicaragua
Col. Louis Schlessinger, as commissioner of
the republic Of Nicaragua, accompanied by
Lon olunuel hI&ueIoI anu SdPt- luthSi, leIl
Grenada on the lth instant for San Jose, the
capital of Costa Rica. He goes to effect a re-
Cancellation between the two republics. Costa
Rica, it appears, has failed or refused to hold
intercourse with Nicaragua. In speaking of
this mission, Ell Nicd,uguense says:
In order TO develope her resources Nicara-
qua desires peace. Her great aim is to be a
guide and -exemplar to the States of Central
America that they, seeing her advancement
may coalesce with her in the progressive move
ment They are now, and have been ever
since the foundation of the United States, re-
ceding in. point Of strength and health. They
cannot deny the fact, and, as patriots, should
acknowledge and amend it. To realize their
true position is half the victory of regeneration,
and if the statesmen Of the adjoining republics
will but confront this issue, we have little fear
but the efforts of this government will result in
accomplishing results of the most cheerful
character--results affecting the enterprise of
the present age"
Lieutenant Norris, Of Company 3D." of the
Rifle battalion, had died at Leon. El Nicara-
g,tense of the 9th says:
"The fatal disease which lately dismayed all
the people, and thined out the ranks of the
Americans, has almost wholly subsidized, and
to-day we have the satisfaction of announcing
that the health of the army is good, and the
sick are fast recruiting. Last week the solemn
sound of the dead march was heard at noon
choly with the list Of the dead. The past week
there have been no deaths, and the hospital is
giving up its inmates"
