which Is in Costa Rcs. The captain OF tde Folton
gave il as bis opinion that Gen. Walker would not be

WI ct ia considered by all whom have heard speak OF
it rdiculously small matter. 1t appears The En-,
sh Consul ia very anxious TO Sc ad forward the m,i
for Co.ts Rics by way Of the river. LAST night
council was held, composed OF j. Squire Cottrel,
Consul tud Capt. Chstard Of the Saratoga to devise
some means Of getting said mail forwarded Afer
long and serious elaboration, il asDy determined
that Captain Chstard should address note to Gen.
Walker requesting him to permit the Costa Rics mail
TO pass up river and that said note should be sent
under the seal Of the English Consul. They no doubt
thought this would tickle Gen. Walker that ne would
not hesitate a moment about granting the request.
