Some Of the flhbuster letter writers from San
Juan del Norte are greatly excited at the interior
ence of the British naval officers on that station Tor
the release of those British subjects, who, having
been entrapped into Walkers service, have become
sick OF it and desire to leave il. The last accounts
from San Juan del Sur show the great necessity for
the presence Of an American national ship IN tha'
Port TO afford similar protection to American citl'
zens who wish TO escape from service into which
they have been illegally enlisted in the United
States. II our Government has no power, as 1t
seems 10 have none TO enforce our neutrality laws
IT home: it is uDable to protect it's citizens against
the seductions and falsehoOds o. Walkers agents,
il out BIT at least to have both the POKER and the
will TO protect American vessels from being entered
and searched by Walkers officers for the sake OF
compelling American citizens to continue IN pl-
rat;ca service into which they were enlisted con-
trary 10 law, and from which they are seeking to
withdraw themselves. Not only does Walker
.rample our laws under foot, he treats our flag in
the same way. 1t snOt less on the head OF an imbe'
Gle Government, Ut able unwilling to perform its
duties, than upon the head Of Walker and his asso-
cates that the blood will rest of the thousands OF
miserable victims of this Nicaragua delusiOn.

truth Of MOrnODism. Our correspondent adds
that the people Of this poor, infatuated, besotted

we have news of one, just arrived, Of the me nbers
Of which (beipg five hundred when they started),
one fourth have persisted the remainder being 30
frozen that upon the arrival Of the " Hand Cart
Tram not more than fifty could help themselves.
The invaids, says our letter, were ragged and
"6lthy beyond descriptions" were "helpless and
despahiDg." Will some one who may have the op-
pounty and the heart, call the attention of those
emigrants who may come to New. York with the
intention of an overland journey TO Utah, to the
painful and disgusting details which our correspen-
dent furnishes

this a,e REFER ed to in the letter We have never
heard Of anything so shamefuly dirty or so wretch

fanatacism, and governed by the meanest of delu-

upou him in few weeks. He took il, kept until te

We learn that negotiations with reference to the
Nicaragua Transit Route have been going on for
some time in this city between Messrs. Anderson
end Webster, the special representatives of the
Central American allies, and various parties of
capitalists, of New-York, Phiadelphia and Boston
So far as we are aware, nothing has yet been
finally decided upon, and we presume the COM
PETITION for the route is still active. Mr.. Wander
bilt of course, represents the interests of the old
Transit Company, in which he is large stock
holder, and which, as having been dispossessed by
Walker, may not unjust1y be regarded as having
some claims to res itutiOn of its former privileges.
We have also an impression that Dir. Charles
Morgan, on whom Walker conferred the grant,
would not be unwilling to receive it anew from the
enemies and conquerors of that defeated hero
1t is hardly necessary to add that the representa-
tons Of The Herald to the effect that Messrs.
Vanderbilt and Moresn have become reconclled,
are lust as groundess as the general run OF nom
sense who so largely occupies theleadng columns
of that journal.
TIE third party ofcapt4l SITS who are ready TO take
Mis- new grant is made up Of gentlemen of Boston,
Philadelphia and this city; and we believe we do
not err W hen we soy that Mr. Moses Taylor Is a
leading msn among them. OF course we pretend
TO 10 positive know edge as to the prospects oil the
negotiation. but we have an impression that the
present probabilities are that the ast-named
combination will carry off the prize.

The account of the execution OF Verger, the as
sassn Of the Archbishop Of Paris, goes strongly to
confirm the impression which the act itself and his
cor duct on the trial tended TO give, that the man
was crazy. Had bis victim been person of less
exalted position, we are inclined to think he might
have escaped on that ground though insanity seems
10 be Plea not SO readily entertained on the Cont
tent Of Europe as in British and American courts.
