Gen Walker, we are informed, has placed a
company of sixty Mounted Riflemen on the
Transit Company's road to protect the specie
trains.
We learn that Gen Jarez, Minister Of For
eign AifNrs. and Bsneve niara Silvas, Minister
uf War ia Nicaragua, have sent in their resig-
nation. The reason assigned by them, il IS
said, Is That they were previously pledged 10
assist IN restoring Gen. Cabanas to tile Presi-
dency of Honduras, and finding Gen. Walker
opposed 10 tiIis apparently aggressive policy,
they were compelled to resign their respective
positions in order 10 fiace themselves right
with their llanduriau friends.
Ii appears that company of seventy men,
armed aud eeuirped for service, under com
4nand OF Capt. Spiler, came down from San
Francisco in the steamship Uncle sam, ia join
Gen. Walker. Capt. Suffer is q son OF Gen.
Saiier the old p 0 Ger OF California. We
learn that thirty nnu who xent by the Dal-
iel Webster on her last trip, and sevenFy-tive
By tie Star al the West, have also joined tien.
Walker, and that he had now force OF 500
effective men.
We further learn from memoranda fur

of tie pgesent President, had collected arms

OF the entire country, and enjoys tie almost
entire confidence Of tie inhabitants OF Nicara-

By this arrival we have Ell Nicaragdense,

Let MIN rest in peace.
Il NcaragaeHse, of the l2th inst, has an
article ON he resignation by Gen Jerez, of the
Ministry OF Foreign Relations, IL which it says:

TIE ground of the difference IN the Cabinet
is the question Of an immediate invasion OF
Honduras. for the restoration of Gen. Cabauas
10 power IN that State. Gen. Jcrez does moi
forget that when an exile, be found shelter and

that the wiser course to advance the general
