Below we place before our readers two let

and nefarious schemes which were used TO in

General Walker from Nicaragua, when he
was on the eve of establishing himself in that
country, in accordance with her constitution
and the wishes of her people. 1t has always

base and malevolent schemes of spectators,

mainly tbwarted his plans; but we now have
the opportunity of laying before our readers
a genuine letter from one Of the chief instru-
ments Of Vanderbilt and the Transit Compa-

they adopted to impose upon the United
States government, and to make it accessory
to their purposes. This letter of Webster

the manner in which our government has been

SAN JUAN DEL NORTE, Nov 8, 1858.
Col. FRANK ANDERSON arrived in this
place on the night Of the Ist inst, after a
trip OF seventeen DAYS from New York. The
Emma is safe and sound. although we exper-
fenced tremendous gale of three days off
the island of st. Domingo. / am very busy
sending cargo up the river. and shall be off
myself in day or TIVE.
have taken the liberty to address Won this
letter on account Of having come across GER
tain correspondence since my arrival here,
which throws some light on the transactions
of the notorious w r. C. Webster. in rela-
tion to the American cause in Nicaragua
They go very far to show the Infamous and
nefarious Influences which were brought to
bear upon the administration at Washington,
and the administration press to procure the
expulsion of Gen. VIM. Walker from Nicara-
qua, and the temporary ruin Of Amercanism
in this region. One of these letters | send
you, and desire you. if possible, to get it pub
liShed in some one Of the newspapers of New
York that this infamous and Wanting scoun-
drel may be exposed in his villainy and lies
and that the American public may know the
true character of these so-called defenders of
Nicaragua, and defamers of honest and brave
men. If you cannot get it published, send it
TO Gen. Walker, as ii is a document worthy
his perusal.
There are in port two American war YES
sells and two British. 1t is said here that
more French and English vessels are expect
ed quickly, and that all American pretensions
on the Isthmus of Nicaragua are to be wiped
out. Certain it is something is in the wind.
In the mean time what is our government
about? 1t will perhaps open its eyes when it
is 500 late. | find great deal of anti-Ameri-
can feeling here, and people both native and
foreign are raving as madly ever against
the Americans.
The three steamers. Col. Yrisarri, Col. Moria
and Laura Frances, arrived out safely The
former is at the Mochinda Rapids, the second
at Castillo and the other at Granada, with
Col Childs. The Martinez government does
not wish TO allow the transit to be opened,
and there has been some sharp shooting be-
tween them and Com. Mcintosh. of the Amer
lean fleet; but | think things are going favor
ably for the Canal Company.
| find that among the lower class of the
Nicaraguan people the old friendship and en-
thusiasm for the American people is reviving.
1t is only the gLue find and the foreigners here
who are our implacable enemies. But their
ill-will can accomplish little, and trust that
before many months are past Nicaragua will
have become arcgiOn in which free Americans
can walk with "nOne to modest or make them
afraid a"
shall be glad TO hear from you, and in the
meantime if anything occurs will keep you
posted.
