Later from the misunderstanding of General
Walker An Nicaragua.

NV ORLEANS, Dec. I2.-The steamer Empire
City, from Havana. with the California mails and
passengers. has arrived at the Belize She re-
ports the Star of the West at Havana with - 500
600 in god for New York
General " alker landed at Punta Arenas on the
10Th OF November with $50 men The Fashion
passed tue Saratoga at full speed unmolested
On his arrival Walker sent 50 men IN the San
Juan river The Fashion was at ASpinwall coal
ing Tor her return. Commodore Panldi ling. Ina at
tempting to seize the steamer, found her papers
correct.
The Britt sh aud American squadrons had sailed
II was thought that the difficulties between

The news from California is of an unImportant
character
[sECOND DISPATCH
General w slker, who il will be recnlIected
took his departure from Mobile bay on the 18th
ult-, in the steamship Fashion landed at Punta
Arenas, in Nicaragua, on the 18th November
with one hundred aud fifty men
Not the slightest attempt was made TO prevent
the landing, and in fact the purpose of the expe-
dltion appeared TO have not even been guessed
The United States sloop- of war SARATOGA was
lying in the harbOr, and the Fashion passed un-
deck.
The whole party were landed at Scott's wharf
Zen w alker had, ii seems, sent fifty men up
the river by other entrances before ma kim his
appearance at Punta Arenas.
After landing the expedition the Fashion took
her departure for ASpinwall, where, at the de-
Parture of the Star of the West, she Was taking
coal on boaId.
Commodore Pauldng of the United States
higate Wabash, attempted to seize her at ASpin
wall, but, on examining her papers, found them
correct, aud consequently could take no further
steps against her.
The British and American naval forces had
sailed from Aspinwall for San Juan and would
very probably take part in the scenes in that vi
cinty, or at least prevent the landing of any more
nlibnsteTs.
The public were much excited with regard TO
the seaworthiness OF the present Pacific mail
steamers.
The following vessels had arrived at San Fran
cisco from Atlantic ports since the departure Of
the steamer, 9th November:
Sierra Nevada, Aurora. Old Colony, Goddess
Herald OF the Morning, and Sancho Panza
OTHER DISPATCHES
NEW ORLEANs, Dec. I2.-The Fashion landed
Gen. Walker at GreytOwn, with 400 men The
ordnance which lac expected TO find there had
been disposed Of. He will receive an additional
force of 600 men, which will leave Mobile this
week, under the command of Gen. Henninysen
Walker stock is up tonight.
