There was a grand Nicaragua Meeting a few
evenings since in New Orleans, at which the
| following resolutions were passed;
Whereas, information has been received OF
the capture of Gen. William Walker and ore
! hundFed,and fifty emigrants. at Panta Arenas,
IN Nicaragua, by Commodore PaHIding, CONS
mahder Of the u. S. friSate Wabash:
And. asheneas, There appears bat one opinion
among the c~itizens OF New Orleans concerning
this outrage, and The violation by said Paulding,
| OF 1.-THE known and established law of nations,
by the oppressive and unjusti6able act afore~
said:
RgsotreL /. That tbs meeting unanimously
condemns the conduct of Commodore Pauld~
ing in this proceeding as being without excuse,
and without precedent in the history of any
civilized country, contrary TO the law of nations
and deserving condign punishment by the Cows
ernment of the United States.
2. That we are unwilling to believe that the
instructions Of the President, or of the Secre~
taries.of State or The Navy, are of such a nature
/ as to Justify Commodore Paulding in the COM
| mission of such an unheard OF act of tyranny
as that of which he has been guilty.
9. That If the report from Washington be
true that Commodore Padding had Instructions
to prevent the landing Of President Nalkerand
.emigrants whe were with him, on the soil of
| Nicaragua, such Instructions were given in
violation of the Constitution and laws of the
i! United States. in violation of the neutrality
statutes aud Of the law Of nations, and in violae
ton of The right of citizens Of this country to
emigrate TO Nicaragua or to any other country.
| 4. That in the opinion Of this meeting it is
the imperative duty of this government mne-
dialely to restore Gen. Walker and his captive
companions to the country from which they
have Been so unlawfally taken by irresistible
force; and also, fully to indemnify them for all
losses they have sustained from capture, deten
tioa and deprivation Of liberty and property.
5. That this meeting deeply sympathises
with Col. Anderson and his heroic command at
! Castillo, left in A perilous situation, by reason
Of lie erael outrage Of American officers.
