an ASpinwal Courier, giving some notices
that may be interesting TO you. although
they come through channels which hayo

We have not the report of a battle fought
by Walker with the Costa Ricans, or the
Allied forces day or two before tie evac-

immense among the investing forces, while
it was Insignificant on the part Of the gallant
little band composing the garrison of Riyas.
