To neither OF these communications did the
General make any reply. GA rhc afternoon of
the Same day the boats OF the Saratoga were
out practising with howitzer and small arurs
near the point where Walkers men were sta
toned. On seeing the boats approaching, the
'flhbuSters drew up in bItlle array, in autcipa-
ton Of tEeir l1ndipg, which, however was not
the intention of the boats crews. Had they
landed the sequel shows what kind of opposition
abe tilibusters would have made On the 2d
of December Captain Chatard addressed the
following note to General Walker:

On the 6lh o: December Commodore Pauld-
iog, III the Wabash arrived at Greytown accom-
panied by she English line-ot-battle ship,
Brunswick, aud English steamer, Leopard. -
0n the 9Th the =. S. steauer csne into port
from Boco del Toro. a correspondent of the
Tribunr, under date OF Dee II, thus describes
what followed:
Ga the 7th of Deeembcr,as the rain came down
IN torrents, With heavy sea outside nothing
svas done Commodore pauidiag had seut word
to Walker that he considered him pirate, and
would take him and bis men prisoners. Walker
sent Capt. FAssoux On board the Wabash to tell
the Commodore that he should resist to the
last. This was on the 9th, and Capt. Fayssoux
was detained on boord the Wabash until the
marines and sailors were sent on shore These,
united with The men from the Fulton on,l sara
toga, made force Of $50 men; and $50 on The
point aad 300 in the bouts. The force ON shore
surrounded the fIlibuster camp. the boat, al
4 tt,oi
An officer thereon jumped on shore, and called
upon Waiker to haul down bis flg and surren-
derto the United States
After all his baasting the man of destiny
made no resistance, but surrendered himself
and his whole force. The whole agf.ir did not
occupy ten inmates. The fl ,g was hquled down
and Walker, carried prisoner on board the
Fulton, just as the steamboat Morgan came
down the river. She was immediately surround
cd by the armed boats an1 taken possession of
tor the Uniteu States; she vas under the com.
mand of De- Brissnt, an old fiiIibuster, with
Macdonald, an agent Of Glrrison aud Morgan,
on board. There were also on the steamed 40
or 90 Costa Ricans, taken prisoners by Ander-
son al Castillo, aad on board the steamer La
Tirgeu. A, soon as the fllibusters were made
prisoners the English steamer leopard left for
Jamaica
Walker and the mon were sent on board the
Wabash; his officers on board she Saratoga. \
guard of marines were placed in the deserted
camp OF the hllibustcrs, some of whom were hi
ding IN the bushes, plnndering provisions, arms
and ammunition, With the itnenton Of going up
she river to join Anderson. On the 10th all
these sfraglers were cap ured, and this dav
they will be on their way ic the United States,
all the men having been transferred TO the Sar-
atoga, which vessels proceeds to New Orleans,
Walker alone going on the Wabash to Aspi.I-
vail, he having his parole to proceed 10 New
York and deliver h;mself 10 the United States
Marshal there. You may well imagine that
the nhabitants OF this pi tee are rcjoiccd az The
exodus of these adventures, aud now only await
the surrender of Anderson aui us party il
Castillo, who on their arrival here are arc to
be received OF board man ot-war. | subioin
