and will no doubt, be surprised to find the .
curious turn. affairs have taken.
Gen. Walker seems to be in excellent
health and spirits. and isquite confident that
the authorities ut Washington viii, discoun-
tenance the action of Commodore Paulding
and set him at liberty to 20 where he pleases.
He is determined to assert his claims as the
President OF Nj aragua, and he is confident
that he cannot be long kepta prisoner.
HOW HE LOOKS AND WHAT sK SAYS
Gen. Walker looks hale and hearty, and
| has q rudy appearance which quite con-
! trasts with his comp arative pal:nees wh,n |
| in the city. He will proceed Immediately 10
| Washington with Capt. Engles. He says he |
| il ut n loss to know by the authority OF what
international law the navy Of the United
States undertakes 20 direct The hauling down
| of a Nicaraguan flag on Nicaraguan soil, and
to arrest u Nicaraguan citizen holding Office
by the popular vote.
THE POSITION THE GEN. WAS IN.
A Georgetown correspondent OF the Her.
aid writes:
Frank Anderson's success at Castillo and
the capture of four steamers had PLACED Me
| aragua in Gen. Walkers power, and secured
the Immediate opening OF the Transit. i
understand that Garrison d Morgon's agent
| had written to them that he Was ready TO
take passengers across rs soon as they would
: put on the steamers. General Walker was
to have gone up in the Morgan Immediately,
and have doubt he would have been re
eeived by the inhabitants Of the interior
!, with 7s Deums all rejoicing; Nj aragua
would have been Amcri aniZeI with, ut
blvodshed. and without delay OF diplomatic
u notes aud protocols. Whatever Commodore
Pauidin2's orders were. ~ Gen. Waiker had
!, been allowed to laid, he should have bccn
Z allowed to remain unmolested, even sh. uid
;, the vessels of war have prevented the land
y ing OF more supplies or recruits. l fear the
% action of our worthy Commodore was pre-
" cipitale, ami will turn out very unfortunate
Tor American interests and for Nicaragua.

q Do.

l. Ihave this moment had the pleasure Of &
= visit from Don Sebastian E,pInoso. who came
Id down the river from San Carlos and Castillo
ga He arrived last night, and reports that Col
or incl Scgunda Quorcsma, the commander o
III Fort San Carlos. is in treaty with Frank An
IN derson to JOIN forces and capture the steam
he CIR Suu Carlos from the Costa Ricans. Shouts
Anderson and Quarcsna come TO an under
en- standing, which is by 10 means improbable
lie they have by this time taken the Steame
e San Carlos and driven the Costa Rica1s froI
et Nicaragua.
C. With the steamers Anderson will be alb
IT. to command the lake and river, and patient
ed ly await ad vices from the United States,
he with his old friends, Chilion and Mende
cd declare for Walker Us President, and sh'
he Martinez up among the ruins OF Granada.
