Further from Honduras-WaIker Fortifyino

New ORLEANS, Aug. 3l.-The schooner Taylor
sailed for Ruatan yesterday with fifty men for
Walkers expedition.
The brig Creole, from Ruatan, with Honduras
advices of the 18th, has arrived. Walker was
fortifying Truxio, and it was reported that Guar
diola would attack the town on the night of the
18th. This anticipation had alarmed the inhabi-
tants, who were leaving in large numbers for
Ruatan.
Walker has raised the old federal Central Ameri-
can flag and contemplates the regeneration and

ST. JosEPH's, Aug. 3l.-The pony express from
San francisco on the 18th has arrived.
Tonnage was very scarce and there was not a
vessel unengaged. Shirs were clearing for Aus
tralia with large quantities of wheat. 1t was ex-
pected that the Tehuantepec route would soon be
opened and line of steamers established between
San Francisco and New Orleans.
Great political excitement prevailed in California
The Republicans sanguine regarding San

Col. Fremont forbids his Chinese miners to pay

FrOnn WnShinDfnn

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 3l.-It is ascertained that the
Administration has no new official information on
Mexican affairs than is already known to the public
through the newspapers. The despatch of vessels
to the Gulf is merely precautionary measure, in
view of threatened Spanish hostiities against
Mexico.
1t is probable that Minister McLane will return
to Vera Cruz in October, in accordance with the
desire expressed in official quarters. While our
government would not view with Indifference an
armed European intervention in the affairs of that
country, it would be powerless to lawfully interfere,
Congress having made no provision for such con-
tiDpency.
