Commodore Paulding's Letter to Gen.
Walker.
FLAG SHIP WABASH, Dec. Z, 1857.
Sir: Your letter of Nov. 80 was re-
ceived at Aspinwall, and sent with my
dispatches to the Government. That
of December 2l came to hand ycster-
day.
These letters surprised me with their
tone of audacity aud falsifcations Of
facts.
Your rude discourtesy in speaking OF
Captain Chatard, Of the Sarogota, I pass
without comment. The mistake he
made was in not driving you from Pun.
tn Arenas when you landed there in de-
tiance of his 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 and your as.
sociates, being lawless adventures, de.
ceive no one by their absurdity.
Lieutenant Cilly, Of the Sarogota, in.
forms 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, it may be of some
importance for you to know that if any
person belonging to my command shal
receive injury from your lawless vi
| olencc, the penalty to you shall be a tri
butte to humanity.
Now, Sir, you and your fellows arr
here in violation of the laws of the U
ted States, and greatly to its dishonor
making war upon people with whom
we are at peace ; and for the sake OF hu
mainly, public and private justice, al
we'll as what is due TO the honor and in
tegrity of the Government of the United
States, / command you, and the peopl
associated here with you, to surrende
your arms without delay, aud embark i,
such vessels as l may provide for tina
purpose. l am, sir. very respectfully

Commodore Paulding and the President

The devotion of Mr.. Buchanan to the strict
est forms of the law is notorious. In his first
Presidential Message he braved the sympathet-
ic indignation of the whole fillibustering COM
muni'y, and branded the expeditions Of Gen.
Walker with the most emphatic phrases that
the language of condemnation can supply
| And it would now appear TINT the strictly ille-
gal steps taken by Com. Paulding in an excess
of patriotic and honorable zeal, to carry out the
dearest wishes Of the Presidential heart, are
likely to be visited with the stern awards of
Roman jrstice. Mr. Buchanan stands to his
over-faithful representative in the Gulf SQUAD.

The arrest Of Walker was evidently great
stretch of power, but It is said that the Cabi-

treaty obligation with Nicaragua. New Orleans
and other southern cities are ablazc with in

1t was plain to be seen on the night of the

result, many of them were OH hand at late hour
