Evacuation of Nicaragua by the Cost

Evacuation of Nicaragua by the Costa
 Rican Army.
 By the arrival of the steamship Granada this morning, we have later news from Central Anne. rca.
 The obliging purser of the Granda reports that the news from Nicaragua is contradictory Captain Dunwell, passenger on board, who left Virgin Bay on the 9th inst, and brings the latest intelligence, states that the Costa Ricans had retired from Nicaragua to Costa Rica, and that 300 wounded Costa Ricans had been ship ped from San Juan de Sud to Punta Arenas, in Costa Rica Captain Dunwel reports that Gen. Walkers loss at Rivas was 100 killed and wounded, and that the Costa Ricans had 65C killed and wounded. The accounts we find in the Panama Star and Herald are very confused and unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, it appears to be certain that the Costa Ricans have evacuat- ed Nicaragua. There is nothing to throw any light on the actual state of affairs in Nicaragua but it appears the Costa Ricans are not very we'll satisfied with the result of their invasion, and that the state of affairs in Costa Rica is not very promising Business it appears, is entirely sus- pended, money and credit are wanting. and trouble is anticipated We copy as follows from the Weekly Star and Herald of the 18th instant
 Yesterday evening Q6th) the schooner Jo- sefa arrived here from Punta Arenas which port she left May 9th. Of Cape Blanco, on the 9th, the Josefa spoke the Joseph Hewett Capt. Capp bound for Punta Arenas The British frigate President had left Punta Arenas, (destination unknown,) but the Havana was daily expected at that port"
 correspondent writing from Punta Arenas, says:
 Accounts from Nicaragua are so various and contradictory that do not know III, self what to believe and what not The Costa Rican troops are all on their return; on account, as is sad, of the cholera having broken out among them.
 Tt does not appear that they have met with so cordial a reception from the Nicaraguans as they anticipated. How all will end iC Is i'm pos slbe to say, but we anticipate trouble here
 Business of all kinds utterly suspened--no money or credit'
 The Boletn Official, of May 3l, the latest dates received, contains an address from Pres- dent Mora to the officers of his army, thanking them Tor thelr efficient services, and for their valor at Santa Rosa, Rivas and Sarapiqui It says, that having beaten the hlbustcrs wher- ever they were met after having taken San Juan, Rlvas and the transit route, and encoun- tered d thousand unlocked for obstacles stuff cent had been done for the national honor, and that no discrelit follows from being obliged to yield to the influence of a malignant climate; leaving behind an enemy exhausted and with out resources better prepared to iv than to fight and whose extermlnation will be complete il Guatmala, Salvador and Honduras perform their duty.
 In the same journal a letter from head quar- terS Is published, which says that Walker una ble to cope with the forces brought against him, has adopted an unworthy means of warfare, an 1 master of the press, influences public opinion by the circulation of false rumors and false ac- counts of the engagements he has had with the Costa Ricans. That on the llth (AprD after the battle of Rivas, in which Walker lost nearly V all his officers he returned to Granada on foot with two hundred men out of l 200 with which he attacked the city, and deceived the people with bel-rnging, iluminations, etc., into the belief that he had gained victory. That this contributed in keeping up Walkers influence and the Costa Rcans were unable in the hurry and excitement of war to avail themselves of the printing press that accompanied the army.
 Another letter (dated April l6) states that owing 10 the cholera the President and the army were about returning to Liberia
 letter addressed to the Bishop of San Jose states that on the 11th, at 8 A. M, Walker with l,2OO men attacked Rivas, that the battle lasted twenty hours, after which he retired with only 300 of his troops; that Walkers force occupied the church, pundered it of all it's valuables, and used the images to secure the doors and win dows. The cross inlaid with diamonds was stolen, together with other valuabies.
