GEN. walker.

6e9s W6kAeEs
From what we publish below it will be seen
that Gen. Walker has again started for Meas
ragua. and probably, ere this, has again arrived
on thu shore of that heaven favored land. The
force with him on board the Fashion is esti-
mated al 400, a sufficient number TO keep in
check any force that can be brought against
him.
We have no doubt that two or more other
vessels left on the same day that the General
did. with a goodIy number of men and a guam
tity of arms and provisions. IL they make out
to land. of which we have but little doubt, we
shall hear some stirring and gratifying news
from Central America in a very short time.
The dav or night before the General left
New Orleans, he was arrested at the instances.
or upon the affidavit of several gentlemen,
(who, from what knowledge we possess, we
would take to be Gen. Walkers friends) but
Immediately released upon a bond Of $4,000.
This was no doubt a eoncocted affair what is
The loss of $4,000 to such an enterprise . that
the General might be enabled to leave with his
force without the risk of being detained by
any possible chance.
We are clearly impressed with the belief
that there is no danger ~tohatsper of any o.. S.
man-of-war fall ing in with Walker; and Ma
pier. The British Minister, has contradieted the
report that he has given any orders TO The
commander Of the British naval forces TO in
-H2t A.E
tereept Walker. Therefore. there is but little
doubt in our mind bul thai he will land safely
and being landed, the standard of civil and re-
ligious liberty, civilization and virtue. will for
ever after wave over that fair but semi arbar-
Gus and blighted land-Central America.

The Dick Keys had on board a considerable

A very few of the men became faint hearted
on seeing the implements Of war on board lie

As soon as Walker add his men were placed
