taIy stores last April by the Of Lockrdges COM
mand assisted by the English. These stores belong
ing 10 Nicaragua, J. N. Scott had 10 his possession
and to-day the Saratoga took the guns with their car
rsges on board that vessel and they are now traed
on US.
The conduct Ct Commander Chstard is 80 much the
more disPrecefu he admits he has no Instructions
from his Government to warrant hn ~ the aostlity
he maniosts toward He knows he dare not hire on
U.S. and his attempt to inmidate us s not only Judi
crous but cowsrdly. Further than this, ne has at
tempted TO involve the Fashion in dhcutes sdrest'
epIg to have her fined for not carrying ner name on
her stern, well knowing at the same time, that the
vessel Is here without money and therefore In tie con-
dition of ship distress. lie has pa ,ed himself IN
the attitude OF United States naval oincer seeking
TO ipiure American ship-owners.
The folio wing note has lust bean handed 10 Gen'

THE COURSE OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
Correspondence of The Commercial Advertiser ~ -
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. 1857.
"Orders ale to be dispatched by the California
stesmer of the Goth to Capt Pauldng OF the wabash
and TO all other officers in command OF U. B. vessels
of var on the Cuff Of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, or
,be Pacific 10 intercept all llibusters who may be on
their way to Gen. Walker, and to prevent them nom
Can't. Cha.srd Of the Saratoga is to be withdrawn
and reprimsudsd. Thus 1t would appear that capt
Cbatard bad orders before which be neglected to OBJ
serve letter from officer on board the Saratoga
says that be had definite instructions but tnst ne
woud prevent the Fashion after the hllbusters hsd
landed, from entering the river. ...
n also appears that the whole Of Walkers force 10
now accounted for as he had landed 200 men oo miles
south of San Juan who were to attack Castillo, whion
wa, defended by a small Costa Ricsn force.
As General Mirabeau Lamar of Texas has been ap-
pointed with the assent Of the Senate, as minister
Central America he will doubt leave in the packet
on tbs ooh He hiss been waiting here long time for
Instructions having been first appointed 10 the Argen
Tbs first thing that he is to do is to procure rat,
cation from Nicsragus Of the treaty lately negotted
here nv Mr. Yrissar and to endeavor also to ioduce
Costa Ria to assent. This being done, the United
States Gov eminent will have the right to interfere Tor
the protection Of the transit and the river San Juan
II will follow that the United States will be RESPONSE
bic for any obstruction Of the transit BY hhousters'
II cannot be long before the sincerity OF the ffesl
derts declarations against llibusterism will be more
fully tested Other expeditions are undenisoy on
foot ard will soon depart But the President VIII ~
each case as alleged dismiss the cupaele ON ,.ar
as he cid Mr. Cisck the United States District AHof
~ nj New 0rleans for suffering Walker TO escape.
