Accounts frsm Costa Rice to the 9Th Of February,

recent operations against Walker, Of which hitherto
cur only accounts have been from the camp Of the

Of January She wss manned with eight illibusters,
snd carried positive orders to the steamer Virgin

We learn from Trustworthy sources thai the
Supreme Cosrt of the United States in the bred
Scott Gaze will. by a large majority, sustain the
extreme Southern ground, denying the constitu-
tionality of the Missouri Compromise. Probably
Judges Curtis and Mclean will alone dissent,
Judge Nelson who has been heretofore relied upon
by many ss likely to favor tho side Of Freedom,
going with the South. The decree Of the Court
viii, it ia supposed, be given in few days-per-
hsps the day before or the day following the naug-
uraton. The majority Of this august Court are
possibly weak enough to suppose that this decree
will trsnquilize the country.
