Capt. Maury, is reported to have left this
port at II o'clock last night, with 175 men
on board, who are supposed to be portion
of the Nicaraguan emigrants lately gathered
here under Gen. Walker. The vessel was
cleared for coasting voyage to Florida, but
it is believed she has sailed for some point
on the coast Of Nicaragua 1t is known that
Gen. Walker was not of the party, although
it is believed that Col. Anderson was with
the men VINO went on board last night.
Very little is known here of the affair." as it
was conducted in very noiseless manner,
and only the initiated had any suspicion of
the intended movements of the emigrants.
Dec Cit now appears that the apparent
abandonment of the Nicaragua expedition,
on account of the refusal of the Government
to grant clearance to the Alice fainter for
Greytown, was only intended as blind to
deceive Judge Campbell and the Grand Jury.

The Nicaragua EmigrGnts Of---7heir
Vessel Fired Into.
MOBILE, Dec. S.-The schooner Susan,
with the Nicaragua emigrants on board, left
the lower harbor last night, after taking on
board supply Of water, and proceeded out
towards the Gulf
She was chased by the revenue cutter
Mcclellan, overhaued and ordered to heave
to.
Capt. Maury, Of the schooner, however,
disregarded the signal, when shot was fired
into her. The schooner sustained no serious
damage, however, and no one on board was
injured
The shot seemed to have no more effect
than the blank cartridge, for the schooner
proceeded on her way, taking with her
Lieut. White, Of the revenue cutter, who
was on board as the guest of Capt. Maury.
