A vessel leaves here to day for New York, and
therefore embrace this opportunity of sending yos
the latest news Of interest from this region.
The most important item is decree in Ncars.
qua expelling all Americans from the county.
The decree in question was published In Nicaragua
in the early part of this month, by Martinez and
Jeres and provided that all those who belonged y
the ranks of Walker should leave the republic with
in fifteen days. The decree has been carried into
execution, and not only those lately connected with
Walker, bat every American In the country, with
the exception of few in San Juan del Sur and La
Virgin, have been expelled, including many indus,
trious, honest men, who were never in any way
compromised in favor of the filibuster chief. There
is not now single American to be found within
the limits of Nicaragua, save half a dozer
the Isthmus, and these it is likely have received
notice to take their departure ere this. Several O
these exies have lately arrived in this town and am
men Of known worthy character. They have beer
compelled to go away, leaving behind them thsh
rrov md u4a nd hat for Io,f
fence that they are American citizens. 1t is a Ia
mentable fact that the American flag will not pro
tect our countrymen from the blind and malignapt
ha' ed which the inhabitants of this petty republic
icel against our race. None Of them have applet
for consular assistance, judging too well by pas, X
perence that petitions to our consul in San JMr'
del Sur would be Of use, fearful is he Of gin
ing the enmty of the inhabitants of the country. u
is humiating fact, that while the subjects of sal
Italian States and Hanseatic towns enjoy security o.
person and property, there is whatever for th
citizen of the United States; and if he remons,ratei
against injury and threatens to protest TO bis govern
ment he is only replied to with the trite sneer ma
the United States "never protects her citnn
abroad" The least our govenm can do is to SEM
an envoy to this country 10 protect the few Amer
cans her and such may wish to enter; for tiei
residence among this barbarous people at this tn.
is extremely dangerous.
Two days since q letter was received from Sa
Jose, Costa Rica, that our special envoy, Mr. Jones
had been ordered by President Mora to leave til
Country and that he accordingly departed (for WA
point IL IS not stately with native guard. n
motive for this measure is not known nor surmied
Aarther than that Mr.. Jones was suspected of BEN
spy, and OF having fbustering tendencies
will not vouch for the truth of the report; will m
say that is quite probable that under the exaspea
co feelings which the Costa Rcans, in common Wit
other Central Americans, feel towards as they ma
have been led to commit this indiscretion. BY th.
way, the alleged object of Mr.. Jones' mission-tb
American citizens in Nicaragua-might much moi
easily and more speedily have been carried on /
Washington. There are many persons now in th
United states and also here, who are perfectly mi'
Americans In La Virgin in 1855, and also a
Lawless and the two preachers in Octtbs
last in Granada. The circumstances attendp'
the murder Of the last mentioned individuals vel
OF Q most atrocious character. Lawless and
companions were taken prisoners on the 18th ofO
tobcr, and notwithstanding they declared themsev
neutrals (the truth of which was well known) h,
were most ruthlessly shot aud bayonetted by 0d
OF ColoIel (now GENERALLY Estrada, commando =
the Legitimista Nicaraguan troops. These factsa
publicly known in Granada, and may be attestet t
many witnesses.
The country Ia In a terrible turmoil about anoh,
invasion from wsker-when or from what poit
not precisely understood extensive preparatoi
are being made, 30 as TO give the "grayeyed mn
as be Is termed by his admiring friends, a warnr
Walker; nobody is talked of but Walker-and q
inclined 10 think that If the mother Of little nj
had known that his name would become in fyn,
such terror to the simple Nicaraguans, she wu
have stranged him in the cradle.
As j said, extensive preparations are being ma
for war. decree has been published compel
all able.bodied persons between the age Of fte
and sixty 10 be ready TO take up arms In cae
another invasion, 80 that If another flibusterinte
petition lands upon the soil II may he expected h
harder fighting Than that which has memorised u
bloodstalned streets OF Rivas and Granada "
occur. The people. too, are united, and knori
that IL will be a struggle for a national exisia,
are determined and will doubtless act desperate
and fearless.y.
Walker has yet a small party In the county
his favor, but most OF the leaders are banishd
imprisoned, and the rest, consequently, are ~
awed and kept 10 silence The brave Gen. PIN,
who held ont with Walker 10 the last, IL nowaE

families Of the country.
