The Costa Rican Version Of Nicsrsguan At
faip-Position OF Walker.

We have another deluge of news from Mica
ragua to-day. which enables us to give the Costa
Rican version of the late operations on the 5 IN
Juan river agains. Walker The accounts 10
not vary much from the particulars given by the
HERALD on the arrival of the James Adger,
though they are much fuller in details. There
are several points, however, that are worthy OF
remark. II will he seen that our views, expressed
freely on former occasions are fully verified and
borne out
All parties coacede that Commodore Wander
bilt Is at the bottom of the Costa Rican mevc-
mcnts, and that be has employed Saxon energy
in their combination and carrying out. We have,
however, another candidate for the honors of q
general in Mr.. Webster an Englishman, who. Il
seems planned the WHOLE affair. 10 carrying ont
the plans Of the Sax the Costa Ricans have
displayed an energyu valor that does them
honor: but the fact Of fheir seeking foreigner
10 plan for and lead them, is indicative Of their
future. Whatever may be the result to Walker,
Saxon influence will prevail in Central Americ T.
II will be seen that the Costa Ricans have offered
terms Of capitulation TO Walker. and that they
entertain hopes that they will be accepted. We
presume they had not yet read Gen. Henning-
sens report of the evacuation of Granada
Another thing initiates against the probability
of such an occurrence. which is the acknowledged
discussions between the commanders of the allied
troops against Walker
A report which will be found elsewhere in our
columns. states that the allied armies had suffer
ed greatly from disease. the cholera having bro
ken out among them, and that Gen. Paroles, the
commander Of the Guatemalan contingent. had
died. With disease and dissension in their ranks.
it would seem as il the Costa Ricans were the
only enemies Walker has to contend with. but
they are making good fight The operations
Of Col. Lockridge have begun already upon the
San Juan river, and be had advanced twenty miles
up from san Juan del Norte. He was with
Gen. HeDningsen at The evacuatian Of Granada,
and is made of pretty sturdy stuff, according TO
all accounts.
On the whole, we do not see that the accounts
published to-day show Gen. Walker TO be in any

The Revolution I'm Peru-Tripartite South
American Treaty.
The advices received from Peru by the steamer
from Aspinwall 90 far to show that another of
those South American revolutions which are got
will be remembered that about two years since
Gen. Castillo got up revolution in Peru, aud
enlisting the services of small body of Ameri-
cans who had gone there from California, to
prospect for gold, drove President Echenique
out of the country. Echenique seeing the power
that few Americans gave to Castillo, came at
once on here, as the headquarters of all filibus-
tering, and very soon arranged the programme Of
his cOunter-revolution. Our New York ilibuster
sachems fitted him out at once; but some little
delay occurred subsequently,, as Echenique could
not pay up as agreed for the hardware. He set
himself to work, however, and some three months
since planked the dust and got the documents.
being most successfully carried out, and the rich
prize of the Chincha islands, constituting the
real strength of Peru, is about to fall into his
hands.
There is another point in the news
from Peru which is of much interest. She
has accepted the tripartite treaty proposed by
Chill, in conjunction with Ecuador, against fill
busterism in general, and Walker in particular.
By this treaty the three States bind themselves
not to recognize any government established by
foreign adventurers, and to assist each other
against any such power. If Walker should gain
his point in Nicaragua, he may have to contend
with these three South American States This
would just suit him, for an expedition against
the Chincba islands would pay well; and this Is
the great secret Of the active movement vi the
nineteenth century.
The Costa Rican envoy had reached Peru, and
wanted 100000 from the guano fund to use
against Walker. A similar messenger had gone
to Chill to ask for men. We stated some weeks
since, on information derived from Washington
that these two States had agreed to assist Costa
Rica in this manner, but that she should take the
initiative by asking for this aid as it would
seem discourteous for Chill and Peru to proffer
it unasked. 1t will be interesting to see what
course this matter will take after the consumma-
ton Of the Peruvian revolution.
Chile exhibits an uninterrupted career of pros
perity and in all the affairs of South America
seems ambitious of becoming the political leader,
as she undoubtedly is in industrial development.
President Montt was at Valparaiso stimulating
the building Of the railroad to Santiago, the
capital of the republic, and looking after affairs
generally. The project of an American line of
mail steamers in the South Pacific, along the
west coast of America, now before Congress, has
long been an object of great desire to the
Chilians and they will rejoice if it is carried out

worse position than what was evident from the
news by the James Adger. He has lost the
steamers on the river and lake, and is cut OF
from San Juan del Norte; but his commuuica-
tons with San Juan del Sur are open and he has
abundant supplies. There is another element Of
strength about him: He is said to have
schooner on the lake. We may soon expect to
hear that Commodore Fayssoax has been trans
ferred from the Pacific Ocean to Lake Nicaragua,
as President Madison transferred Commodore
Perry from the Atlantic to the lakes in the last
war with England, and we may have another
version of the battle of Lake Erie. One well
armed schooner under Commodore Fayssoux may
prove more than match for those slightly built
steamers, that would be destroyed by single
shot through the boiler, standing in full view
ppen the deck. The news, however, is quite suf-
6cent to let the New York Commodores have q
