WASHINGTON, Nsy 81, 1859.
Walkers return to New York will prove great
relief 10 our venerable President, who had become
seriously exercised by the threatened demonstra-
ton against Nicaragua. So great was his concern
in this respect that, although the Home Squadron
were provided with Instructions to arrest any
a, med expedition, it was thought desraole % re-
enforce it witt the Preble, which recently re-
r,,rred from Paraguay. Perhaps walker pres

excited by his supposed movement. The new ne
gotiations in Nicaragua to be commenced under

thousands of our Eaturalized citizens were IN the
British domin6ns, it must have led to as decided
an expression Of popular resentment as was VIII.

within the realm, but it would be hazardous ex-
