The steamer James A1ger, among other sdvices
from San Juan del NOrte, which she left on the

count Of bis twenty days operations in Granada

10 the 18th of December, ON which day, by the aid
of q party landed from the steamer Virgin, ne sue
ceeded in efectiDg his escape the statements to
that effect hitherto received by way of New-Or'
leans being thus fully confirmed.
II appears from this dispatch, which will be found
ut looRth in another part of this paper, that the
ssies 6ast made their appearance before Granada
Oh The "a b OF November. Ga that day they sur
pe;sed aud took the church of Guadalupe, which
detachment of lIenniDgsen's men were fortiiyiDg,
most If whom, according 30 Henningsen, were
drunk at the time with liquor to which they had
heloed themselves while destroying the town.
Sous twenty men we're lost in this attack. The
25,b. 26th and 9th were employed in destroying
what re manned of Granada during which operations
considerable fighting took place, the loss on the 27th
amounting to sixteen. On that day the enemy
gained the plaza, but Hennngsen succeeded IN re-
taklrr the church of Guadalupe, which he made
hi, headquarters. There being great annoyance
from tbs stencil of dead bodies, of which there
were some sixty in the church, and the cholera and
teytr breaking out there, of which some twenty
died. sn ntIeDched camp was established near by,
which the soldiers called Fort Henry. They had
seven days rations of flour and plenty of coffee, and
TO exc out these provisions began to slaughter Their
mules and hersss. On the 2a.h they learned from
fugitive that the landing on the lake, which they
knew had been invested for several days. had
fallen into the hands of the allies. Tne same
day they received summons to surrender, with
the ener, if they would do 50, of their lives aud
permission 10 leave the county. But HenninSson
did not place much confidence in this ofer-know-
ing we suppose, how thoroughly he deserved to be
shet or hspged-snd according TO his own &C
count, he rejected ii with contempt and insults,
threatening, in return for the offers made hun, that
he would hang the whole opposing army within
ak months as high as Hsmau, il they did 10. sur

who had been taken prisoners at the capture of the

,ity of putting them all to deitb, and inviting an
interview, which, however Henningsen declined,
but without the gasconsde of his previous answer.
