FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK, Dec. IL.
The steamship Washington arrived this morning
On her outward passage, she stopped at Port Roy
al on the evening of the l4th nit. and landed seve
raj passengers. She arrived off the harbor of San
Juan on the morning of the 18th, having expert.
enced heavy gale on the 18th and 10th. Was
boarded outside of the harbor by boat from the
| U. S FrigatelSavannah, and entered the harbor at
noon.
The Savannah and jamestown, and the British
ships Leopard and Yalorous were ID port, Sir W.
Gore Ousey being on board the latter.
Col Childs, the COmplny's Agent gave informa-
tiOn that nothing had been heard of the Hermann
at San Juan del Sur, and that the Nicaraguan Gov
ernment refused to permit the WashingtOn's pas
sengers to go through the country, alleging that
they were tillibusters
The steamer Catharine Maria was sent up to
Granada to obtain such permission if the Hermann
was at San Juan del Sur.
| The Washington was boarded by English Off.
GERS from the Leopard and ValOrOus with side arms
who asked various questions as TO whether there
were arms and ammunition on board, and request
| ed to see the passengers.
| They were told that the ship had been boarded
| by an officer of the Savannah who would give them
any information they might desire They replied
that they were instructed to get such information
direct. They did not however insist on the hatch
es being taken eff, and left the ship rather sud-
denly.
The same day the Leopard went to sea, and pro-
ceeded to the mouth of the Colorado to intercept
two hundred and fifty flbusters, whom, as report
ed, the Washington had landed on the night pre-
vious.
One boat could not get up the San Juan, owing
10 the low water, and had proceeded to the mouth
OF the Colorado, where she arrived at daylight the
next morning, just in time to be seen by the Leop-
ard
She was chased by boats from the Leopard with
hOwitZer and small arms, and having to stop 10
fix up steam pipe was OVertaken by them, and
finding they we're mistaken to tillibusters being
ON board, they went back to their ship which re-
turned to GreytoWn
On the Goth the flag ship Roanoke arrived at
Greytown with information that the Hermann had
proceeded TO Sau Francisco on the oath.
On the oath, Col. Childs, the COmpany's Agent,
returned from Granada without accomplishing any
arrangement; on the contrary the boat was not
allowed to pass from San Carlos without an officer
and file of soldiers on board.
The government however, finally became salts
fed that there were no fibusters on either the
Washington or Hermann, and the steamer was per-
mtted to land at Virgin Bay and an agent of the
Company was permitted to go to San Juan del Sur
to look after the Hermann.

The Washington sailed for the same port on the |
