a convention OF uelegateS from all parts OF
the State was held for the purpose of elect
ing President and other officers, which re-
suited in the election of Gen Walker to the
Presidency 10y acclamation, but was declined
by him until the whole people of Nicaragua
should ratify the election of the delegates
had Oh the l4th June. Accordingly on the
oath utimo an election was held for Pres-
dent by the people, and resulted in favor of
Gen Walker 10y almost unanimous vote.
Gen. Walker thus stands at the head of the
Republic of Nicaragua with the Govern
mentsof the United States pledged to sup.
port him in the maintainence Of it against
the combined forces of Europe, and with
pledge strong enough for his purpose to pro
tect him against the neighboring States of
Central America and Mexico. President
Rivas, Salinas, Secretary of State, Gerose,
Secretary o. War, and Boca Minister OF
Public Credit, after the election Of Walker
to the Presidency by the Convention Of
Delegates, fed to Chinandega, and the State
Of Guatemala declared war against Near
aqua. The deserters endeavored to ncte
the natives against Walker and the Ameri-
can residents, inducing them to the belief
that the Americans would burn down their
churches and destroy the religion of the
land, but upon being advised by the Faith
ers of the church of the falsity of the report,
the people became quieted and confidence
was restored.
Mr.. Fillmore had arrived in New York,
and was received by large deputation of
his fellow citizens under guidance of Alder
man Briggs.
The news from England is fraught with
more thar usual interest. When the news
reached London that their Minister at
Washington, Mr.. Champion, had been dis
missed by this Government no apparent ex-
citement prevailed The Times and Daiiy
Ntws were rather bitter against the United
States, but thought as Mr.. Champion was
dismissed upon a personal matter, it was
usecs: to send off our Minister, Mr. Dallas.
But as soon as the intelligence of Cramp-
tons dismissal reached Liverpool, four men
of-war and some gun-boats were ordered to
prepare for foreign reryice, and report was
credited that large additions would be i'm
mediately made to the English feet in the
vicinity of Greytown. Taking the order
of the English government in connection
with the accredited report, and the news is
of the utmost Importance to this country
When we consider the negotiations that
have been pending between the two nations
in relation to the Bulwcr-C Clayton treaty on
Central merica-the dismissal of Cramp.
ton and the recognition of the new Nicar
sguan government by the United States
we are led to reflect upon the cause of the
apparent quietude Oh the part Of the govern
ment of Great Britain. The fact is, the
people Of England already feel that they
have rights and interests in the management
of the affairs of the government, and that il
is their prerogatiye to assert those right:
and have them respected by the government
The government feel the force of the powel
Of the people and are compelled to yielC
obedience to that power as their only safety
in future-hence the aristocracy of England
put on the best face possible upon the recep
tion of the news of Crampton's dismissal
because they know the people are opposed
to war with this country. The govern
ment Of England is determined upon a wal
with US and the question is, how can this be
done without offending the poocer behind Mt
throne. The feet at Greytown is to be aug,
mented and an occasion sought to insult the
flag Of the Union, thereby compelling oul
government to take the initatory step il
declaring war against them BY these mean
England can accomplish indirectly what he
people will not allow her to do drectlv.-
We look upon war with England in tn
course of few months as inevitable, if tn
government of that country can only kee
their war courage screwed up to its presen
point As q general rule, war is an ire
