intelligence was received from The Costa Rcsh forces
that Walker vss at st. George, with the remnant
of his troops, hemmed in by the Allied forcss, and IN
SITUATION that must ultimate in bis captivating.
We expected to hear Intelligence of successes at

hsvo DONE under Garrison and Morgans instructions,
is believed that che must have fallen into the hands
Of the allied forces. An American mao-of-war, the
Indept ndence or the St. Marys, has been dispatched
from Pasema, to ascertain what has become Of her.
Tie attending the expedition against the San
Juan River lie regarded masterpiece Of sratsgem.
The whole mater was conducted with the greatest
eecreOy. Wien the frst body Of Costa Rican troops
left San jose On their expedition only three persons in
the Republic knew their destnation-Mr. Webster
IN English gentleman, who has engineered the
whole matter, President Nora and Mr. Auderson an
English merchant in Costa RIGA. The commander of
The troops was furnished with sealed dispatches The
general RINSE that the troops were to proceed
down the Sarapqui, and this view was encouraged by
the leaders Of the movement that Walkers spies might
be deceived but the route chosen was By the San
Carlos.
Previous TO the fret intelligence from Nicaragua,
after the departure of the troops party feeling in Costa
Rics ran high. Arayed against President Mora was
powerful peace party and only needed Intelligence adj
verse TO the success Of the Costa Rcan arms to cause
him to resign and to put the peace party, which WAS
willing to make peace with Walker on any terms, into
power Fortunately, the frst intelligence was of the
Seizure OF the San Juan River, which renstated Prcs-
dent Mora in public confidence, and it WAS not until
swo days aerward that the Of discussions among
the aled forces on the Isthmus receivedtOo late
10 do any injury. The facts Of the dissensons give
below in connection with other matters of interest;
At the commencement of the siege OF Granada,
Hennngsen had with him five hundred men, and not
Eout hundred, as has been stated The allied army
numbered seventeen hundred, under command OF Cen
Beloso. As regards the manner in which the siege
should be conducted he differed from the opinion of
Gen. Zavala, who commanded the troops of San
Salvador numbering about seven hundred. After the
refusal Of Hennugsen TO surrender in obedience to the
demand of the allies Zavaa wanted to take the place
by storm Henningsens force at this time having been
rcduoed by disease and killed to Que hundred men.
BeIloso refused to allow an assault which resulted in
o Quarrel between the two generals aud Zavsa called
In Gen Canas the commander Of six hundred Costa
Ricsn troops at Rivas, to arrange the dlner-
spces. In tho mean time, Beoso retreated with
1900 troops, leaving Zavsla at Granada with but ioo
10 500 to continue the siege Matters were now at
stand.stll when the recruits under the command OF
FOL Waters which left the UnSed States durirg the
lest Of November, were landed by Walker to release
Observation-Disclosures himself remaining in the steamer.
These were enabled TO cut their way through the
forces Of Zavala and HennDgsen and bis party
now reduced to only 60 men! while the loss OF Col
Haters's command in the rescue was 30. Walker
md his troops then retroaed to Virgin Bay, where the
cholera fever end black vomt broke out among them
with fearful violence and starvation only addeo
10 the horrors of their situation With the remnant
of his forces, now numbering less than FIVE hundred
men. Le retreated to st. George, where he still was
mt the last accounts, the Costa RcGns then having
possession Of the San Juan River No person here
believes it possible that the possession of the San
Jusu can be recovered by parties sent to Walkers
assistance, even though they wereto attempt to force
passape I'D the river with a thousand men. At
Nipps Point situated at the mouth of the Sarapiqui
The navigation of the river has been parposely OBJ
struste BY filing with logs for distance OF halt
mile and the Point is defended by force of 500
Costa Rcans, under the command OF Col. BaTrllier,
n Zouayo formerly in the French service, and an
able engineer and experienced officer. AT Castillo
Rapids there are two hundred trOops and at San
Carlos three hundred AID at all the defencble points
they are well supplied with artillery. At the last ac-
counts Gen Mora brother Of the President had az
rived al Virgin with eleven hundred troops, making an
aggregate at these four points Of nineteen hundred.
The two lake steamers the San Cailos and the Virgin,
nnder the command Of Capt CAVITY, an EngIishman,
have also a hundred troops each in them
Every day brings us fresh evidence of the viainous
deception practiced by Walkers agents in the United
States TO ELL up his army decimated by disease and
fighting.
one poor fellow who belonged to Waters's command
informed that nearly all of the persons who left
New.Orlesns with him, went out with the intention Of
getting farms and settling down them Immediately.
Thirty Of them carried ont their wives and families.
No other thought WAS entertained by them until they
arrised at Virgin Bay, when Walker ordered the
women and children TO be put ashore while he pressed
every man into his service that he might attempt the
rescue Of Hennngsen.
About two hundred deserters from Walkers army
are in Costa Rca and they have been treated with the
greatest kindness and humanity. Those who were
rick have been cared for and most no able tO
work have been furnished with employment, snd many
have determined 10 remain in the country. Mr. Cor
win, the United States Consul at Panama, informed
me the other day that he had mentioned these facts in
his dispatches to Mr.. Marcy.
The Government Of Costa RIGA, q few days since,
forwsrdtd 10000 to pay the American engineers and
