The arrival Of the steamship 0rzaba al New York from
San Juan with late direct and reliable intelligence nom
what the seat Of war has in measure dIspeeS
the many contradictory that have been aoat for
the Last week two in regard 70 the actual condition OF
affairs in Nicaragua The report that General Walker had
fought another battle with the Costa Rcns In which the
latter were severely worsed turns out to be wholly I'M
founded in truth, well the report put in circulation
by the Courier dss Flats Unis that Walker had been
forced to abandon Grenada, and destitute of provisions
and money, to take refuge with handful OF men, in
the mountains. As limits this morning will not per-
init US to give in detail the highly interesting and import
ant intelligence received by this steamer, we make room
for the suboned summary of the news for which we are
indebted to the New York Times: n
The rule of Gen Walker is firmly established in Mica.
ragua All remaining doubt this point is disspated
by the arrival of the 0rizaba Her confirms the dis
astrous retreat Of the Costa Rcan invaders and we have
direct authority for saying that Walkers army not only
strong In numbers but in good condition. Subsistence
abundant and cheap and, far from the troops and
Walker himself being driven to extremes as rumored
few days since by French contemporary in this ciy
there was never, understand the slightest probability
of extreme suffering, either from famine the abi-
y of the Costa Rcans to follow up the battle Of Ri

complete, and their loss eight ten fold greater in
battle than that Of Walker Disease and death supen

their officers completed the disaster to the invaders and

survived to reach their territory again SO far the
political power Of the RyasWaker rule is concerned the

trips. This will be great point gained The steamers

sufficient TO suppose that any such interference
is intended The presence of own squadron which
