In Washington Territory the Indians were attacking

There is nothing new from Nicaragua, except re-
port current at Aspnwal that Col. Schlessipger had
been recaptured by the Walker party and condemned
to be shot.
The following vessels had arrived at San Francisco:
The Emily Farnum, Red Rover, Mary Wttridge, and
Fair Wind, from New-York; the Electric Spark, the
