to have an equal claim, since both have the same

lost, as most of the foreigners in il, unable or

matter.
From Register of the Nicaraguan Army dated
Oct. 2s, and given in Ell NiearagmSse Of Nov ],
the fillibuster force appears to be composed Of
IN oh Of fnurR iQra vi
long array of staff officers, battalion Of Light ar.
tillery, battalion of rangers. two battalions Of
rifles and two battaons of infantry. 1t appears
that Goicouria, the Cuban who had been commits
stoned as Brigadier- General, had been dropped.
Hennipqsen, Swedish adventurer, as we believe,
who has served in Spain and Hungary, has been sp-
pointed in his place. He is represented as being
diligently employed in nstructing the soldiers IN the
use Of the mountain artillery and Mimic rifles lately
received from New-Orleans, whence the filbusters
have derived large supplies Of men and munitions.
OF themoyements of the warlike natives, H Med
roguense is able to give no definite account. IL
pretends, indeed, that they are " fast dispensing
0from the country" and gives report Of an insur.
recton at Leon, caused by their extortions; but, /"
it told the same stories previously to their late
advance upon Granada, its information on this
score is not to be relied upon. The only exploit OF
Walker since his return to Granada appears to
have been the shooting of two natives, whom be
had taken prisoners, in revenge for the death OIL
one of Walkers aides de-camp, who had been taken
| prisoner and shot.
1t is rather amusing, by the way, to read the

the invaders from Guatemala and San Salvador.
Take, for instance, the following:
"Wbat are these allied forces doing in this country
and what do they purpose to accomplish They 70
manned in Leon until they had 50 impoverished the city
that they could longer find subsistence in it. They
have appropriated to themselves all the CATTLE proyb
ions clothing and money in every town through which
they have passed. and in Granada instead of endesv
ORIG carry out the object for which they would have
the world believe they came to this country they
robbed Unfortunately both natives and Americans.
"Iheir actions, since they entered the borders Of
this State prove them to be an allied band of murder
ers and robbers, and their whole course has been
marked by series Of ou'rages which only be par.
alleled by the actions of the Goths and Vandsls.'
There are other invaders Of Nicaragua be.
side those from San Salvador and Guste-
maIa TO whom these descriptions wosld do
no injustice. From the tone of these 6llibus-
ter denuDciatiOns of invasion, murder and
robbery, we conclude that Walker who prob
ably wrote them himself must be good deal
alarmed. We have observed before, and the Dor.
der Ruffian journals in Kansas and Missouri afford
proof of it no less than FL Niearagnense, that none
are so vehement in their indignation against muir
der and robbery as those who practice both them
selves. 1t is indeed but the old trick of crying
