had he fallen into their hands. The British Consul offered a reward of f2O for the dscov- erv of the perpetrator, and the officers of the Saratoga have sworn his destruction whenever found It was doubtless the work of some private from the Point.
 Commodore Paulding arrived here on the 9th, and soon received news that the pirates, under Anderson, had surprised the garrison at Gas tllo and taken all the lake steamers. We were also at once made aware. through the Con sul, Mir. Cottrell that decisive measures would be taken against the fllibusters. In company with the Wabash came the English lne- -oi-Dat- tie ship Brunswick and English steamer Leop- ard Next day the United States steamer Full ton, from Boca del Toro, came into port, but as the rain came down in torrents, with heavy sea outside nothing was done. Commodore Paulding had sent word to Walker that he con sidered him pirate, and would take him and all his men prisoners. Walker sent Capt Pays soux on board the Wabash to tell the Commo- dore that he should resist to the last This was on the Sth, and Captain Fayssoux was de- tained on board the Wabash until the marines and sailors were sent on shore. These united with the men from the Fulton and Saratoga made force of 75O men; 45O on the point, and 800 in boats. The force on sho'e surrounded the fllibuster camp, the boats advanced to the headquarters of the pirate chlet. An ofhcer thereon jumped on shore, and called upon Wal ker to haul down his flag aud surrender to the United States After all his boastng the man of destiny made no resistance, but surrendered himself and his whole force. The whole af- fair did not occupy ten minutes. The flag was hauled down and Walker carried prisoner on board the Fulton, just the steamboat Morgan came down the river She was immediately surrounded by the armed boats and taken pos session of for the United States; she was under the command of De Brissot. an old fillibuster with Mir. MacDonard, an agent of Garrison and Morgan, on board There were also on the steamer 40 or 50 Costa Rcans, taken prisoners by Anderson at Castillo, and on board the steamer La;Virgen. As soon as the 6llibusters were made prisoners the English steamer Leop- ard left for Jamaica.
 Thus ended the second trial of the fllbus- ters in Nicaragua, and the civilized world are indebted to Commodore Pauding for the prompt action he has taken i'll the business. Walker and the men were sent on board the Wabash; Walkers officers on board the Saratoga A guard of marines was placed in the deserted camp of the tlibuoters, some of whom were hiding h the bushes, pluudering provisions, arms and ammunition, with the intention of go- ing up the river to join Anderson. On the 10th all these stragglers were captured, including the agents of the New York fllibusters, Morgan and Garrison--and this day they will all be on their way to the United States, all the men having been transferred to the Saratoga, which vessel proceeds to New Orleans, Walker alone going on the Wabash to Aspinwall, he having given his parole to proceed to New York, and deliver himself to the United States Marshal there- ! ou may well imagine that the inhabitants of this place are rejoced at the exodus of these adveuturers, and now on y await the surrender of Anderson and his party in Castillo, who, on their arrival here are to be received on board a man ot-war. 1 subjoin acopy of the letter from Commodore Pauldng calling upon Walker to surrender
 UNITED STATES FLAG SHIP WABASH,
 Of San Juan del Norte, Dec. z 1857.
 SIR: Your letter of Nov. 30, was received at Aspiuwall, and sent with my dispatches to the government. That of Dec. 2 came to hand yesterday.
 These letters surprised me with their tone of audacity and falsfcation of facts
 Your rude diScourtesy in speaking of Capt. Chatard, Of the Saratoga, pass without con- ment The mistake he made was in not driv- ing you from Punta Arenas when you landed there in defiance of the guns.
 In occupying the Point Arenas and assuming it to be the headquarters of the army of Nicaragua, and you its Commander-in- Chief, you aud your associates being lawless adventurers deceive no one by their adsurdity.
 Lieut.. Cilley of the Saratoga, informs me that he was in uniform, and you say he was in plain clothes when you threatened to shoot him. While you use such threats 1t may be of some importance for you to know that if any person belonging to my command shall receive injury la, sol |. shall be tribute to humanity.
 Now, sir, you and your fellows are here in violation of the laws of the United States, and greatly to its dishonor, making war upon a peo- pie with whom we are at peace; and, for the sake ot humanity, public and private justice, as well as what Is due to the honor and integrity of the government of the United States, com mand von, and the people associated here with you. to surrender your arms without delay, and embark h such vessels a, 1 may provide for that purpose.
 am, sir, very resp ctfully,
 Your obedent servant
 Il PAULDING, Flag Officer, Commanding U. $. Home Sluad-

 We have no later news from Castillo oi the interior.
 GREYTowN December Is, 1857.
 For the last six days the rain has poured down in torrents. The town is flooded Our election is over and Mayor Martin is tloored. Theday after the Wabash sailed, the U s. steamer Susquehanna came in from Key West via Blen- fields, where she had called, looking for filHbus- ters On the 18th the British ship Brunswick left for Navy Bay, the only vessels of war re- mainins in harbor, being the Susquehanna and the Fulton. The latter makes daily trips to the Colorado, keepinga close watch of that rver- brig was seen far out at sea yesterday, but to- day she is not visible. The weather is so thick our vision does not extend very far. Novessel could make landing on the coast while this weather continues.
 There is a rumor, originating, believe, on board the Susquehanna, that the treaty with Yrlssarri was made for the benefit of Walker. under the supposition that the fllibusters had landed, and would cause the transit to be un- safe for passengers, when the United States would be called upon to protect and garrison the hne relieving Walker from the necessity of Keeping force at these points, and making his whole force available against Costa Rica
 have asked Captain Sands, of the Susque- hanna, about this matter, but he can give me no information. Captain Sands also refuses to send up the river for Anderson, and his men, or have anything to do with them. l fear this party are still acting under Walkers orders, and will hold out at Castillo, possibly be joined by some mal- contents from the interior, again pluuging Nica- ragua into civil war. The United States Naval Commander should certainly have taken some measures to expel Anderson and his band from the country; 'twere better for the safety of life and property here, that the pirate chief who ex- ercses such an influence over his followers should have been left in the country, rather than that guerilla party should remain to pillage us nnconstrained by Walkers authority or rntlu- ence. The Commodore will have to return and complete his good work.
