IMPORTANT FROM CENTRAL AMERICA-GENERAL
CABRERA DESERTED By HIS TROOPS, AND WALKER
EVERYWHERE TRIUMrHAET.-It will be seen by a
letter, which We publish in another column, from
Key West, that the apprehensions caused by the
reported march of Carrera, President of Guate-
mala, against General Walker, are at an end.
Carrera did actually set out from his capital at
the head Of 1900 men, with the full determine
ton of giving Walker battle but before he
reached the boundaries of his Cwn territory the
army he had with him were reduced by desertion
he dared not attempt an invasion of the Nicara-
guam territory. He therefore wisely marched
back to his capital less fortunate than that cele
brated King Of France, who took back with him
all the forces which he had mustered for his
mountain expedition. As to the Costa Ricans,
When they should have formed a junction with
Carrera, every man Of them was found to have
unaccountably disappeared from the Guatemalan
territory. So that General Walker has now no
thing to apprehend from either Of those States
Honduras very properly refused to allow the

knowing that if she did SO she would be apt to
be COMPOUNDED by Walker in his measures of re-
taliation. San Salvador continues friendly to the
Americans, and the new order Of things in Mica
ragua may now be fairly looked upon as consoli-
dated.
We learn also, through the same channel that
the recruits from New Orleans with six pieces of
artillery and large quantity Of munitions Of
war, had found no difficulty in joining General
Walker. 1t turns out that the Tinklepaugh pro-
test was made under an entire msapprehension
Of the views and feelings of Captain Tarleton, of
the Eurydice, who, SO far from contemplating
anything offensive or hostile towards the Ameri-
cans, permitted, when he had the power to pre-
vent the New Orleans expedition proceeding to
the aid Of General Walker. This is as it should
be, and leaves one item the less in the balance Of
accounts between Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Secre-
tary Marcy.
We are informed that since the departure
of Padre Will, Major John p. Heiss, an ac-
tive, shrewd, practical, go-ahead man, has sue
ceeded pro tenn to the functions of the Mica
raguan Minister to this country, and that in
short time we may expect to hear Of his formal
appointment in the premises by the Walker
government. Major Heiss is the man for the
position, and with the opportunity and authority
given him, he will soon show what may be done
in New York and elsewhere in behalf of rein
forcements to the Walker enterprise. We also
understand that Commodore Vanderbilt has
lately renewed his negotiations at Washington in
reference to the Transit business, and that there
is every prospect that he and his company will
soon be restored to the full benefits of their orr
ginal charter by compromise with the new
company to whom the transfer was made of the
monopoly of the route. If all these reports be
true, as we have reason to believe they are, Gen.
Walker will soon be placed upon SO firm foot
ing in Nicaragua as to enable him very speedily
to give to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty a new and
definite Interpretation.
