On Wednesday the llIh of June, Geneml

ing with his Exeelleney nj the barrier. At
this time Leon was guarded b. native soldiers.
The Americans interfered with noihing that
the city might feel perfectly safe under tie
guardianship Of troops drawn from It's own vi
ciniv. The day after Gen Walker left Col.
Escobar, commander OF the native garrison,
informed Col. Bruno Natzmer, that the native
force was not sufficient 10 keep guard and re-.
luestcd detail OF Americans. Compliance
was scnifcd, and an American soldier Sta

Senior Saliznr, minister Of war, thcrcupon
mounted his horse and rod" down TO the bar
riers bare headed. where he informed tie rab-
BILE, in an official harmngue, that the Ameri-
cans had seized the Principle, and were abou,
TO murder the President and his cabinet.
In his speech he also took occasion TO advise
the people that the Americans were going TO
burn down the churches and destroy The rei-
gion of the country. A great excitement was
the result, during which the President and hls
advisers took fight for Chinandega The
Americans in the meantime were innocent in
knowledge of what was proceeding; and al.
though they knew there was hubbub about
something they very naturally concluded it
was some public day among the people, when
they had right to be excited.
From Chinandegu, Don Maxine Jerez, in
his capacity as minister of war, sent word 10
Seaelo, TO suspend the public work of fortIfy-
ing that place, and directed that the place be
tismantled of its present armament. Orders
were also sent to Col. Natzmer, in command
at Leon, TO withdraw his sentry from the
Principle, and allow each of the two towers
of the Cathedral to be garrisoned by fifty SOL
ders of the country The frontier pickets
were all called III, and n very general order
carried out to leave the state open 10 the army
of invasion, which was known to be advancing
on Leon The President expressed great fear
of his life, ond stated that the above regula-

The order sent TO Col. Nazner was not
obeyed until it was submitted 10 Gen. Walker,
who Immediately ordered the American COM
mauder in Leon 10 comply with the mandates
of the minister OF war; and further to with
draw with his whole force from that city.
At the time Gen. Walker gave the above
command, he was in Nacarote, at the head Of
$50 troops, marching on Leon; but after giving
the order he stopped at Managua until the III
file battalion, Under Lieut.. Col. Anderson, ar
rived, when he left Granada, accompanied by
the rangers.
President Rivas and his cabinet with the
exception of Don Fermin Ferrer, are now in
Leon; but the commander will have no further
communication with them. They are known
10 have made propositions TO the enemies OF
the country, inviting them to invade Nicaro.

ELEcriNr THEIR PRESIDENT BEroREAAND.-
We observe that the New York Express and
other Fillmore papers are announcing the votes
of bank officers, dry goods clerks, steamboat
and railroad passengers, &c., as the vo'e of
the people The Philadelphia Ledger happily
refers to the renewed experiment of foreteing
the legal public sentiment Of the country, as
expressed by the ballot-box, which was much
in vogue in former Presidential elections, and
adds that in the jackson and Adams campaign
there was scarcely any public assembage that
the vote was not taken, or pretended to be
taken and officially published in the newspa-
pers; and, what is little remarkable, It was
almost always in fcvor of Adams, though the
real public sentiment of the country, legiti-
mately expressed, told very different story.
Some very strange means were resorted to, in
order to get the advantage of this kind of pop
ular endorsement, but the best "dodge" we
remember is that adopted by the captain of
canal boat He was bringing large number
of passengers down the Pennsylvania Canal,
and had been considerably irritated by the
publication in the wing papers, showing that
the travelling public were all for Adams
Watching a favorable opportunity, while near
ing bridge, and while his passengers were on
deck discussing politics. he called out, "All in
layer of Jackson will soop their heads" Ev-
