are not far astray in calculating that out Of the
Fremont is likely to get $4,000. So much for the
predictions of those who foretold bis defeat the
soil which his courage and energy conquered
from barbarism, and whose people are especially
bound to do him honor.
Important from Central and South America.
We publish today several documents Of sig
nifcant and important character, in relation to
affairs in Central America.
By the arrival Of the Illinois from Aspinwall,
on Saturday, we learn that the position of Walker
in Nicaragua is daily becoming more and more
precarious. According to these advices, coming,
however, from sources inimical to Walker,
desertions from his banner were numerous.
INSTRUMENTATION had made great progress
among his troops and if rumor is to be Gre
dited, no less than forty of his men, com
prising several officers, had been executed for
that military offence. Leon, one of the principal
cities OF the republic, was occupied by garrison
of Guatemalan and San Salvadorean troops, OPP
posed to the rule of Walker; and throughout
Central and South America projects were on foot
and preparations being made for grand united
effort for the determination of American rule in
Nicaragua, and for the repression of American
filibusterism there and over the whole South
American continent
The documents to which we refer will enlighten
our readers ON those points, and suggest the ey-
tensive feeling of alarm which pervades-and
Justly pervades-the whole Spanish American
race on the subject of the encroachments Of the
filibusters Of the North. The whole people and
government of the United States seem, in the
opinion of our Spanish American neighbors to
live for little else than the extension of their
sway over the whole hemisphere. Well founded
as that opinion may be in regard to portion Of
our present administration, and to few madcaps
among u.s. it is not true in its general application
But the alarmed denizens of those Southern re-
publics appear to act upon the Latin maxim-er
uao disco oanes-and to think that Walker, Kinney
JEFF. Davis, Caleb Gushing, and all that class of
flibustering individuals, are fair type and true
representatives, of public opinion in this country
That, however, is an error which even they will
not be long in discovering.
One of the documents which we publish in
connection with the subject is report of two
speeches delivered in Bogota-the capital of
New Granada-at banquet given to the Ecua-
dorian Minister to that republic on the occasion
of surrendering his functions. The aim aud OBJ
iect Of those speeches were to awaken the Latin
race in Central and South America to the dan.
gers by which they were menaced by the absorb
ing spirit Of our people and institutions, and to
organize a united effort in opposition thereto.
The proposition is to reorganize the Colombian
republic, a confederation of which New Ora
NADIA, Ecuador and Venezuela are to be-as they
have been-the constituent parts But this pro-
ject the speakers themselves half admit to be un-
feasible. 1t was tried before and failed signally.
1t is more than ever difficult now Republican
institutions are not comprehended or appreciated
by the descendants of the Castilans Military
Adventures and cunning priests will in times to
come-as they have done in times past. and do
politically, even, than they were governed by thc
vice kings and captains general Of Spain
True It's a ply; pity is rs true
A for The people OF The United States they
regret that such IL the case. IT those Span.
ish American republics were anything like re.
specially conducted governments. they would en-
ficl cur trade and commerce t. al incalcglab!e
extent; whereas now theirresources are neglect
Cd. their PEOPLE indolcnt and ignorant, and their
trade no worth having. II they ever should
succeed IN establishing good government and
developing their internal resources-in tie posi-.
biliiy Of which we have not the slightest faith
no nation would hail their progress with more
sincere joy than that Of 1.-THE flibusters OF the
North as they fatteringly call us. In the
meantime let them try what they can do in re-
migrating the Republic of Colombia.
Returning TO Walker and Nicaragua. we find
that the Vice Governor Of Panama. in his last
message to the Chamber Of Deputies, directs their
attention to. and asks their action upon, the
affairs Of that republic.
So. too. We find that number Of the deputies
OF the republic Of Chile have addressed com
munication to that Congress soliciting them to in
tervone in behalf Of their brethren of Nicaragua,
now Oppressed by usurper. No action had
been taken on this communication at the time Of
our latest intelligence thence OF both these docu
mcnts we present our readers with TRANSACTIONS In
view Of all the circumstances, il is more than
probable that the regime Of President Walker in
Nicaragua Il drawing to n close-a denoucncnt in
which the interference OF the British and French
authorities is moi 10 be overlooked.
There is rumor Of another serious riot IN
