We have the f II particulars Of the land
ing of the fiIbusler General at Greytown,
from a careful perusal of which 1t VIII be
seen lhal his present adventure is not only
a bold one bat absolutely the most tool
hardy of all his daring exploits. A cor
respondent says:
The Fashion appeared off the harbor
of Greytown on the oath of November.
She made no attempt TO enter, but Kept
on her way down the coast. On arriving
at the mouth OF the Colorado, about 20
miles from Greytown, she came TO and
landed for,y-ive of the ilibuslers. The
next day she appeared again off Grey
town, and under full head of steam ran IN
to the harbor, close by-under the very
guns of the United States soop-oi-war
Saraoga-laid along side OF an old hulE'
near the warehouse, and before the guns
of the Saratoga were or could be manned
and brought to bear. the flibusters, with
Walker at their head, all scrambled over
the side Of the hulk, and from thence 10
dry land. One hundred and forty .one all
told, landed on the hulk, on the point op-
posite Greytown, making one hundred
and eighty-six in all. They are all well
armed with MIME rifles.
The party Of forty.fve landed at the
mouth of the Colorado, is commanded by
Capt. Frank Anderson, who was one OF
the original "ifry-six" who went from
California with Walker, in his first inva-
sionxpf Nicaragua.
Upon landing, the party Immediately
proceeded OPP the Colorado to lis junction
with the San Juan, twenty miles from
Greytown, and took possession OF Leaps
Island, small island in the river, owned
and occupied by man Of The same name,
a British subject. At this point the par
" was again divided. Twenty Of the
men were sent five miles further up the
river, and stationed themselves al point
called fort Anderson, on the plantation OF
Senior Pataca, Spanish subject, on the
Costa Rlcan side.
Walker, with his al men, was on the
point, and was heard to say that he would
make no attempt to advance in the interior
until he had additions TO his party. A
steamer from Savannah and brig from
Galveston, were daily expected with 9th
er filibusters. Walker landed on the point
sixty barrels of pork, ninety barrels OF
beef, ninety barrels of -four, two casks o!
sugar, one cask OF rice, eight sacks of cOf-
fee, and two boxes of ammunition, enough
TO last only few weeks.
The Uned States frigale Wabash, Com
mohore Pau!ding's flag ship, left thai port
FIR Galveston. If the renIurcements eX-
pccted do rot arrive before The Wabash
reaches Greyrown they vii! be intercept
led-lhey will never land
Walkers officers are Col Bruno, Col.
SwingIe, Capt Fayssoux and Col. HoUgh.
Or. Kclum is al the head of the medical
staff Public opinion and feeling, native
aud foreign, at Grey!own as well as here,
is strong against Walker. The general
impression is, that he will be starved out
in SIX weeks.
Immediately on landing his men, Walk
cr took possession of the warehouse of
the Transit Company, and began TO APP
propriare lumber. They were ordered
of by Capt. Chatard. of the Saratoga,
and they then took possession Of some
native huls. Lieut.. CIIley attempted to
land on the point with two men,on gun
mig excursion. lie was ordered off by
Walker. Cjley replied that he was an
American citizen, aud had as good right
there as Walker. Walker anSwered-"l

leave Immediately | will arrest you"
