Mariposa Democrat., 1857-05-20

All idea of Lockridge's expedition being now
abandoned, the Rescue conveyed all the men
to Seripique in two trips, from whence they
made their way in launches, canoes and RATS
to Greytown, which were reached by the main
body on the 9Th ten Of the wounded and sick
having died on the passage down.
On arrival at Greytown, Col Lockridgc
mustered the men and disbanded them, stating
that their services were no longer required, and
making them give up their arms and ammuni-
ton.
AT this time the Tennessee, from Aspinwa
was in port, and few men had gone on board
of her, Scott promising that she should take
them all off for conveyance to New York; but
whilst arrangements were being made for that
purpose, the Tennessee suddenly put out to
sea- leaving the men behind, and though sig
nazed to come back, did not do so.
The men (or Scott, we are not certain
which, then sent on board the British ships Of
war to request that one of them might be sent
after the Tennessee; but, of course, this was
refused, and the whole force was left without
any means of getting away from the country,
unarned, and destitute of the means of sub
sistence The surgeons of the fleet were sent
on shore to attend to the sick, wounded and
scalded and our informant adds that Scott,
so far from rendering them any assistance, or
dered those who were sick and wounded to
quit the company's premises, saying he would
have no loafers round the place or premises.
meeting Of the men was then held, and
committee appointed to wait on the com
manders of the British vessels-ofwar, to solicit
their assistance; who replied that they would
not interfere until the men had done every
thing to help themselves, and all other means
failed. The men therefore determined to seize
the steamer Rescue, and the arms that were
in Lockridge's possession which they accord
ingy did, delivering them up to the Mayor of
Greytown to hold as security for their expen-
ses. At last on the 14th Of April, the men
were received on board the British ships Of
war-171 in the Cossack, Captain Cockburn,
and 203 in the Tartar, Captain Dunlop-having
first signed an agreement with Captain Frs
kline of the Orion, senior officer commanding
on the station, promising to comply with the
rules of the ship, not to land without permis-
sion, etc Previous to leaving Greytown, the
Costa Rican troops, two hundred strong, under
Col Cauly, arrived in town, and Scott in con-
sideration of guarantee being given, at the
solicitation of the British Commanders that the
Company's property would not be destroyed,
consented to draw on Morgan & Co., of New
York, for the amount Of the mems passage
from Aspinwall to the United States. On Mon
day last, the III men from the Cossack were
taken by the U. s. Mail Steamer Granada to
Havana, on their way to New Orleans, the Bri.

the trip in case Morgan q Go. do not bonor
SCOTS draft The 203 men still on board the
Tartar, were not taken by the Company, as
the measles had broken out among them, of
which three have died. 1t is said that the
Tartar will sail with these men direct for some
port in the United States.
