have TO acknowledge the receipt of your
favor dated the 9Th passatOs, and thank you
in conformity. First to personal matters
medina is wrong in being loud about the
protested bill.' for the moment Vanderbilt
acted as he did, l offered to Goodhue & Co.,
the holders of the bills security to the
value of 100000. They, however, satisfied
of my own responsibility, would receive no
security. Mr.. Medina's affairs will be all
right. Vanderbilt has also protested Capt

me so far. | have got him to stop running
| his steamers from this city to San Juan del
! NOrte, and orders leave to-day instructing
his California steamers to lay up at San Fran
cisco forthwith. This has been brought about
by our entering into negotiations to purchase
his steamers, and j insisted upon the cOnd-
tor above stated. This important desidera-
tum acquired, ends Walkers career, and cuts
off his supplies. We have met with a great

The papers this morning are full of rumors
of intended expeditions for Walkers support.
None can leave this city or the Northern
ports. Ny solicitors are on the alert, and we
