TO complete the record of events. II contains
amongst other details which we had not Previously
received the address Of General Walker To his troops
after the defeat Of Schcssinger. Our readers win
agree with us that il is a most remarkable etusion,
and gives q clearer insight into the character and
motives Of the man than anything, perhaps, that he
has before either said or Done. We recommend those
who purpose attending the meeting at the National
Han tonight to carefully peruse this speech. II
will prepare them for the course which they may
think it expedienx to adopt in the present critical
condition Of our ccuntrymen in Central America.
