WASuINCTOS, April 9.-The recent or
ders issued from the Navy Department
for fitting out several additional war stea-
mers, were not given with special reference
TO the recent events which have transpired
in Nicaragua, but in part for the purpose
of relieving vessels IN the Pacific and
other squadrons.

appointed Consul to san Juan del Sur.
who has left to-day in the Aspinwall

Mr.. Runnels is also the bearer Of dis
patches from the Navy Department 10 the
commanders of the Home squadron.
These dispatches are of peremptory
character, and will show the Nicaraguan
Government that the United States will
no longer submit to their double-dealing
policy.
There is great activity in our various
navy yards, in compliance with orders for
getting ready additional vessels of war for
immediate service.
Orders have been issued by the Secreta-
~ Of tho Navy - got ten vosss.t5 Of war
ready for sea Immediately.
WASHINGTON. Tuesday Evening.-The
dispatches sent out TO Nicaragua by Mr..
Runnells, for General lamar, instruct him

| he is instructed 10 demand his passports
The home squadron is to be augmented

for the defence of the property and per-
sons Of American citizens and the protec-
ton Of their rights and privileges, vested
! TO them by the Nicaraguan Government.

About the time General Walker arrived
at Aspinwall, on his way to California, a
rumor was prevalent in Castillo that he
had landed in San Juan, and a party Of
some thirty persons in the garrison formed
plan 10 capture the fort and deliver il 10
him. The conspiracy was, however, dis
covered, and the ringleader, Leonese.
named Almaridiaga, was executed in the
most brutal manner.

report as follows:
Liverpool, Saturday, March l6.-Our cot

the steamer, with prices in favor Of the
seller.
Ns,y York, April 9.-By the steamship
Canada at Halifax, we have an outline of
the proceedings of the Spanish Cortes
upon the Cuban question.
A motion had been made in tic Cham
Der of Deputies calling for any papers in
the possession Of the Government rela-
tive to negotiations between France Eng
land, and the United States with refer
ence TO the purchase Of Cuba by the lat
ter power.
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs, in re-
ply, stated that some dispatches from
these Governments had expressed de-
sire to see the administration of Cuba
improved, and the President of the Uni
ted States had expressed the same will.
The President, he said had expressed
the opinion that the United States, on ac-
count Of its higher intelligence had NOR
al duty to fulfill in purchasing and gov
erning Cuba.
The Minister said that the best reply
10 that and also to views expressed by
certain orators on this point was the pres
ent prosperity of Cuba.
He further stated that the question of
the cession of Cuba to the United States
was an imposingand also a menacing one.
but that the Spanish Government felt Sc
curity in its great natural resources.
As to the course the Government had
pursued, he said that Spain had not rem
deTed insult for insult, but had conducted
its diplomacy with prudence and dignity
They had not appealed to other powers for
assistance, and although they would have
felf grateful for any such assistance in case
Of emergency, they had declined it. The
| Government did not think any aid neces-
sary, the question having having happily
almost ceased to be discussed.
