Steamship Fulton for Havre, sailed to-day
noon. She takes out so passengers, among
them Madame Rachael, and nearly $4,000 in
specie.
The Times correspondent writes that private
letters from st. Petersburg, dated the 18th inst,
state that the Gar has decided formally that
the Austrian propositions were to be the basis of
Interior pacific negotiations, and for the present.
uay be considered as the preliminaries of peace
among the diplomatic body and the court
Peace was regarded as inevitable, and uncondi-
tional acceptance of the propositions had pro-
duced considerable sensation in that capital.
With the exception of the officials, this sud
den return to pacific ideas was generally badly
received, not only by the old Muscovite party,
hut also by the mass ofthe people
III The popular famaticism had been raised to such
a pitch after the fall of Sebastopol that at the
present it is work of difficulty to make them ac
cept political arrangement as necessary or de-
sirable for Europe. The public mind was nol
considered cxceptionable and an outbreak wonId
not be surprising.

A Central American on Walker.

The Bulletin Ofcial'' of San Jose, city of
Costa RIGA, publishes letter from Grenada, in
which the writer denounces Col. Walker and
his followers in good set terms. We copy
as follows:
As to the nation, its situation passes from
bad to worse. As~soon as Walker landed at
San Juan, he did nothing but levy contribu-
tions-aTesting even tie American CONSUL,
because he refused to pay. He had scarcely
arrived in Granada before he called for another
supply of $4,000, Selling upon merchandise,
jewels, and whatever he could lay his hand
upon in order to satisfy his troops. The wife
of Don Nicho Chamorro was robbed of her
jewels violated and so maltreated that the
good lady died in consequence. The atrocities
which these demons have committed are innu-
merable; they even went so far as to- kill a
poor creature ofonly fYe or six years of age =
You will know of the treaty which these illus
trious Generals, as they are now called, have
signed. This treaty was signed by Corral as
under the constraint of one who cries, "your
money or your life" Walker said to him.
~Come and sign, or if not, toll morrow | will
shoot upon the plaza more than twenty heads
of families that | have in CUSTODY" and to
give an example of his resolution, he shot the
unfortunate Mayorga. He died like good
Christian, praying for vengeance on his assas-
sins, and crying viva our country and
Union"
When Corral arrived at Granada, they sung
a 1e Deum, disarmed the eight hundred men
under Corral, and appointed the latter Minis
ter of War. This was on the 9Th, and on the
9th certain officers of Leon assembled in Walk
er's house and the result Of that internal coun-
Gil was thu death Of Corral Thus our prnci-
pal men are ,riShing, and thus the Yankees
will proceed until they have finished with
every Nicaraguan that can give opposition to
Walker. You will already have seen that we
cannot be worse off. The people submit, but
1 believe that this state of things cannot last
much longer. send you the proclamation OF
the new President. Don Patricio is an excel
lent man, honorable, patriotic, peaceful and
everything one might desire; but at present he
is nothing more than blind automaton OF
Walker. They have now appointed as Minis
ter de Hacienda a Cali iornia Yankee who has an
extended fame for his thievish propensities
Finally, l will inform you that it is conclud-
ed among them to invade Costa RIGA. Here
everything has been exhausted--war and pes
thence has made away with life and property.

An Outrageous Assault.

A man named 4. Coffin was examined yes
terlay Lefore Jas. T. Walker, Esq., on charge
of having, on the evening previous between the
hours of and 8 O'Clock. committed an assault
on young man named Felyez, with slung
shot with intent to commit murder The
witnesses swore that Felyez, who is young
man, of rather delicate appearance, went into
the house Of Mrs. Seecrest, to get some victualsS
that while there eating the defendant Came in,
and without any provoeation whatever and
before word had been spoken by either OF
the parties, struck Felvez on the head with
slung shot, causing fracture of the skull into
which DIR. Hallock thrust his finger near an
inch. The opinion of the physicians attending
was at the time that the wound was mortal
and even now though, the boy IS gong "0ou''
-Cncy consider his Sitna4:- s~5crltlcaI.
Coffin had been to the house earlier in the
evening, at which time he exhibited slung
shot, and declared his intention to ''clean out'
any person he found there on his return.
He was required to give bail in the sum of
$500 for his appearance at the next term Of
the Circuit Court, and in default was commit
ted to Jail.
