about two hundred and fifty persons, intending
main in Nicaragua large portion of this number

THE ExPEDIrIoNIsTs WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND.
From the San Ersnci.co Heralt
observed in the number dated october T. 1855, card
signed by twenty thirty persons, expressing in bitter
and Ger serious disa ppon having
en- abs TO embark for Central bard of the
steamer Uncle Sam, which left the wharf at saa Fran
cisco on thu 9Th Of the same month They at ribu,e
their disappointment chiefly TO made them
by Colonei p H. French, which they we're upgeuerous
enough to believe intended TO be fulfilled.
The undersigned officers in the service o the republic Of
Nicaragua, accompanied Col. French to Francisco
from the interior Of Calit rnis and pa.sepg
n.
They desire, justice to Col French give
TO the public of California that they intimately
uuainted with the entire action pursued in the
by that worthy gentleman and incompatible official
fully satisfied that he deserving OF the
censure imputed by the ard your Journal ought
relieved from the slightest shaoow pcon of
intended wrong. Assurances from reliable sources of
the most ample and satisfactory nature toe bases
upon which the expectations o. he Colonel
founded and his promises pledged, and the failure
his part TO realize what was 50 confidently
anticipated, the rea' Of the d ap-
min time
others of profound regret. In gerospectng the
of Colonel French, taking into consideration all
the .unfavorable circumstancesi by which he
rounded-the indiscreet haste and ankle snfested
by the impatient expeditionsts--ihe incauous and
warrantable violence Of few upon the persons OF the
officers Of the steamer-tne premature and unexpected
withdrawal OF the vessel from the wharf and the failure
the part Of responsible parties 10 comply NTH
their engagements to the Coonel-we cannot well con-
ceye how the difficulty complained Of could by any
sonsble possibility have been avoided. We sincerely
trust that the gentlemen who the victims OF the
disappointment they deplore Will receive
that however much they may lamentsd the isfor
tune OF abandonment, they felt the affection not
sincerely than did Colonel p H. French and ourselves.
In this connection take pride pleasure stat
ing that Colonel French, principal officer OF he
government of Nicaragua has the esteem the conf
dence and admir- alton Of all with whom he has been
brought In association and that lew gifted with equal
capacity 10 administer the affairs Of the department
which he presides.
