The New York Times says
Shortly after the sudden departure OF W IL
liam Walker from New Orleans, on that tel-
onious errand which was brougl t to an end,
as sudden as its beginning, by the prompt
action of Commodore Pauliing, we stated
that the plans Of the tilhbusterlng luntl, had
been dcranged by that movement and that
Walker taken advantage OF the careIessness
of his condjutors to run away with the
steamer Fashion and her equipments, IN or
der to avoid the unpleasant necessity OF
ressning his military command into the
more competent hands of the free compan-
ion, Henningsen. EVERYTHING which has
since occurred, both at New Orleans and at
Washington. has tended to establish the
accuracy of the information upon which
we then relied, and we now find ItauthnrI-
tativey reported in the Phlladelphln Press,
that Gen. uennngsen absolutely refuses TO
take part in any plans of future conquest u
less the ertire control Of tho expedition shall
be coufded To himself Walker Of course,
will consent to no such arrangement, and
the President will, therefore, in ali probahliI-
ty, find himself relieved trim any further
anxiety in regard u these disturbers OF the
public peace. by the hopeless disorgaDlzs-
ton of all these projects.
