What Cant. Cnuty Saws,

The newly appointed Minister from the Costa Rican
Government, Capt Cauty, arrived in New York a few
days ago. and the Times of the 10Th publishes the re-
suit of pumping operation performed upon the re-
doubtably antifbuster by one of its reporters. We
extract the following:
Captain Cauty first went to Central America eight
years ago He was then Captain in the British
service, but from having become attached to Central
America, and having purchased large quantity of
land, he threw up his commission and settled down
like native. He cards himself as good as an
original inhabitant. The past attempts of General
Walker to gain foothold in Nicaragua, he regards
as the bold and unsernpulous enterprise of an AFRO
deserved As for any further efforts his part to
invade the country, he cannot think he will be SC
foolish If he is raising money ostensibly for this
purpose he does not believe it is his object ever to
put the money to such use One thing he saws is
certain that if General Walker does venture to land
with an armed forced on Nicaraguan Territory, he
will be firmly met by force that will utterly annhi
late him and his men.
The Government have no apprehension of his troub-
ling them again with his presence. sharp eye is
kept upon him. however, lest his evil spirit should
tempt him again and if it should, that he may meet
a warm reception.

He was received with distinguished favor wherever
he went He remained two days at Greytown with
Col. Cauty of the Captain, who at the present
time has command of the San Juan river from Grey
town to San Carlos. Col Cauty too, was the brave
officer who manfuy defended the fort of Castillo
Rapids against Col. Titus and his 800.
Mr.. Carey Jones, recently sent to Costa Rica by
Mr.. Buchanan, arrived at San Jose about month
ago. He had not presented his credentials when
Capt. Cauty left, but was to do so in day or two.
Mr.. Jones' mission understood to be one of in
quiry into the general condition and resources of
Costa Rca and the countries contiguous. Mr.. Jones
had the misfortune to fall in with notorious sharper
named Tom Edwards on his journey, and was robbed
of his loose change-$600 in gold Edwards had
been arrested, and locked up in the Jail at San Jose
| to await his examination.
The steamer Tennessee expected to arrive at
Greytown day or two after the departure of Capt.
Cauty. This steamer, he had been informed from
good authority, went to Greytown purposey to bring
back the remainder of Gen. Walkers fbusters, go
in number, remaining there The contract made with
Messrs Morgan Sons, relative to the opening of the
Transit route, compelled them to bring their ilibus-
tiers to the United States. When this batch have
left the country, all the libusters will have been re-
moved, except a few who have agreed to take land
and settle in the country.
