be wondered at that writer, one of the
Resolute's party, is enabled to speak in such
glowing terms as the following, of their re-
ception:
"The Queen treated Hartstcin with marked at
tention at dinner, and in the drawing-room.--
Afterwards, she came up to him and said she
wished to talk with him, and remained in familiar
conversation for an hour. On leaving the Isle of
Wight there was great display of enthusiasm.
AS the ship passed out of the harbor, the shores
were lined, and the air rang with cheers. We
were escorted by steam yacht which is always
in attendance on the ship-and the fine steam
frgate Retribution, which was also acting an
escort, and we were towed by government steam
cr. An Admiralty messenger is also continually
in attendance on the officers.
On arrival at Spithead the ships saluted, and
on entering Portsmouth harbor the transports
were lined with people. cheering and waving
handkerchiefs the military bands playing nation
al airs, and the battery saluting The Old Vic
tory manned her rigging and cheered. There
never was such enthusiasm and exhibition of
heartfelt feeling-it is the event of the day. and
it is in every ones mouth. The Government have
insisted that the officers shall return in the steam
frigate Retribution, and they will probably leave
on the day after Christmas. On Tuesday Capt.
Hartstein is invited to Lord Palmerstons country
seat"
1t seems that our fellows were banqueted
and toasted, and danced, by corporations, So
cieties and indiyiduals-to their hearts con-
tent, and if this event of presenting the Re-
solute, with the accompanying speech max
ing and junkiting generally, shall produce
more correct ideas of each other, it is
money and time most economically spent.
We shouldn't knock as much good sense into
each other in fifty fights, or at an expend-
ture of fifty times as much time and money.

Walker in Nicaragua.

The late accounts from the Americans on
this interoceanic transit route, represent their
position as quite complicated if not desperate
San Juan, port on the river of that name,
with its Notifications, and all the steamers on
the same, as well as Lake Nicaragua, was by
bold, crafty move, captured by the Costa
Ricans, and the enemy were said to be ex-
tending their lines so as to hem in General
Walker, and cut off the recruiting of his
army in men and stores. AT last dates the
route to the Atlantic was at least closed
against aid from that quarter.
The Americans were at Rivas and St.
George. This state of affairs may be either
good or bad, depending on facts of which we
are not sufficiently informed to speak For
instance if his forces are in good health and
sufficiently provided with stores, the General
may lay quiet until the enemy extend their
lines about him, when 10y sudden stroke
upon their weakened centre, cut their line
OF communications and crush their bewilder-
ed forces by detail. In this way few reso-
lutte men with leader Of military ability,
may destroy three times their own numbers.
This was one Of the master moves in stratagv
of the great Napoleon, and surely Walker
will not be unmindful of the tactics of the
past.
The over conscientious opponents of this
American movement in Nicaragua, have had
Gen. Walker driven out of the country seve-
raj times, nevertheless he has somehow con
tradicted their statements by sustaining him
self in the darkest hours of peril, and we
venture the prediction that he works himself
out of his present difficulties and fastens
Yankee rule upon the country more firmly
than ever. The political leaders of Great
Britain and France may denounce US for Fill
clustering to their hearts content, we have
our own affairs to attend to, and the best in
terests of our people and of the commercial
world generally, are enlisted upon the side
of Walker What did the French attempt2
and what have the English been doing in
East India? How come the French in AL
geria? in the Society Islands? in Rome? By
what authority do the English declare war
and send forces to Persia? or lombard Can
ton?-Filibustering both of them. They
may talk OF the propensity of our people
for invasion, but we know them as the great
national freebooters of the present century.
Walker was invited into Nicaragua bv the
Government de tacto thereof "He and his
pe'min must be driven out" says the great
Palmerston. Wonder if he descended from
the Danish or Scandinavian pirates that once
over run that Island he is now so proud Of,
and massacred the conquered people when
they had the power. Perhaps he has de-
scended from the lons of one of those stout
Normans whose freebooting propensities
carried him in that direction, and who ulti-
mately conquered the country, parcelled
out the lands, made serfs of the people,
and decimated the saxon braves by cruel
penalties enforced more cruely9 Setting
aside the moral position we occupy we most
seriously object to dctation from such teach
ers.

suddenly reduced him to so low condition.
