IN Itpy 70 tnis nOte zen. G0lc0ur1a IN MS letter
OF Oct rs, does not forget his agency In behalf of
the old Accessory Transit Company, but remarks
The injury you have already done yourself by your
act towards the company, the evils you have suffered

mention OF oil these thing will be sufficient for my us

duct which has be ip perfect harmony with former
services. But H. cannot any way whatever
continue my connection with you Excuse me- therefore
when cay that am quite glad 70 hear thai you viii
nominate another person aa minister to England.
This letter alone would have justified General
Walker in dropping GOicOurlas name from the army
roll ii nothing hao tIanspired to authorize such an
act previously but my Object is not to enumcrate
General GOcouTias aotece 3ants but to investigate
his intentions since he wrote to General Walker rs
follows:
IcsnnOt now, in any way whatever, continue my
peclion with you.
Morgan some days after the letter Of the 25th was
pepned, intended for the benefit o. General Walker
or not! That is the question. Or was 1t the inten-
ton Of General Coicour'a to act towards General
Walker In the same manner as he intended to act
towards the owners Of the steamship III Dorado,
VIZ: sacrifice the parties to accomplish his own
ends!
General Goicouria had not communicated any of
his plans to me. Cn the contrary, even in my con-
versation with him-even while he was making
raDgements for this expedition-he expressed the
opinion that General Walker did not want men,
but that he wanted money. He had shown Mr.. Nor
gan telegraphic dispatches from New Orleans
stating that large number of men would be in
readiness to leave that city at an early date; and the
question new was, what course should be pursued
III the matter
Even if this ovenent was intended with the best
motives was satisfied that an independent expedi-
tion to Honduras, or any OF the other Central
G<aS.0 49,
ton of General Walker. 1t would Immediately array
the hostility Of the United States and Great Britain
against Nicaragua, and they would, no doubt, take
decided steps to prevent it. as well as to prevent
any further emigration to Nicaragua
My suspicious as to the intent OF the expedition
were fully aroused, and could not believe otherwise
than that was hostile to General Walker General
GoicCuria had communicated to some few friends of
Nicaragua what he was doing but always represent
ed to them that bis purpose was to advance the
cause Of General Walker.
As the steamer Ell Dorado was named in connec-
tion with the matter, aud as had some friends con-
nected with the company to whom this steamer be-
loDged, considered it the best policy to oommuni-
cate with them on the subject and fortunately, Col.
A. G. Sloo, and his trustee, Elwood Fisher, ESQ.,,
were both in the city: In my interview with Mr.
Fisher he informed me that the terms for
the charter Of the FL Dorado had been
agreed upon, but that IL had not been
trustee for Col. SIoo. frankly gave him my rea-
sons for obiectiDg TO the cbarerng Of the III Dora
do, and believe be immediately eutered protest,
refusing TO sign the charter for said vessel. This
interview, thick, occurred on the 9Th inst and
the 10th had an interview with NJ. O. Roberts,
ED, President OF the United States Mail Steamship
Company, in presence a Col. Sloo ana Mr.. Fisher.
Mr.. Roberts inform ID me that he had agreed upon
the terms of charter Tor the FL Dorado to respon-
sible parties in good faith; that so far they had
c mplis with it, terms and demanded its compile
tion presented the same objections TO Mr.. Roberts
mad previously presented to MIR. Fisher. He then
informed me that the charter party might satisfy
me Of their good faith, and If / would permit him
lie would refer them TO me. This | consensed TO,
and lett Mr. Roberts with his promise that he would
do nothing further in the matter without informing
me.
Since then the Fl Dorado has not moved from her
dock, ard no persons connected with the movement
have called on me Tor an explanation, except Gen.
Goicouria. few friends, who supposed that he
was in high favor with Gen. Walker, have also called
upon me in regard 70 tins matter, and have not
failed - undeceive them. On the 18th inst Gen.
Goicouria addressed me communication, OF which
