THE CAPTURE OF WALKER CONFIRMED

THE CAPTURE OF WALKER CONFIRMED.
By the steamer Empire City, which arrived at
New York on Tuesday, we have confrmatory
counts from Honduras, of the capture of General
Walker, together with some seventy his followers
on the Rio Negro. The telegraphic dispatches
mention the name of "Col. Kudler," who was to be
shot, along with Walker. The Prensa prints the
name "Ruttler," and the Diario de la Warino has
it "Rutter." We take the following account from
the issue of the last named for September u:
By the steamer Francisco de Asis, which arrived
this morning from Truxillo, have received i'm
portant letters, according to which the famous fill
buster chief has finally fallen into the power of the
Central Americans, and at last accounts was, to-
gether with Rutter, his next in command, in the
castle of that port, about to be shot. Let take
glance at the progress of events in the order of the
news already published, according to- which Walker
was fugitive, and detached parties of troops,
sembled by the Hondurian General, Alvarez, had
started in pursuit.
The evacuation of Truxillo being intimated to
Walker by the commander of the English screw
corvette lcarus for the that the Custom
house of that port was mortgaged for the payment
of the debt to England Walker left there going in
the direction of lmon, distant some ten leagues
from Truxillo, the city ediatey returning into
the possession of the government.
On the I'd inst, the lcarus and a mail steamer.
both carrying native troops under the command of
General Alvarez left the harbor for the Rio Negro
up which the boats of the Icarus proceeded, and
there captured Walker, Rutter, and seventy other
individuals, many of whom were sick, and nearly
all in deplorable condition. all were then taken
back to Truxlo, with their arms and baggage,
and there placed by the commander of the Icarus
at the disposal of General Alvarez on condition
that W alker and Rutter were to be treated con.
formally to law and right, and that the 20 other
persons, officers and soldiers shall be permitted to
return to the United States, on their taking an
oath never to again in any expedition against
Central America, the Ango American Commercial
Agent undertaking to provide passage home fol
| them.
General Alvarez Immediately took charge of the
prisoners who placed in the castle, and it wa
| generally believed that the two chiefs would be i'm
mediately shot.
Preparations were made in Omoa for the inva
| sion, and we have great satisfaction in adding, Al
| honorable to Central American spirit, that Colone
Caro- Governor of Izabal, Guatemala, sent to tha
port sixty-fve men, under Colonel Godoy, with tn
| intention of uniting with the Hondurian force al
ready there. They embarked in schooner pur
chased by their government, and proceeded t.
Juan, whence the expedition to Otnoa set out OF
the seth OF August. Although this happy even
produced no result, yet the zeal which the authori
ties OF both States display ed, in union against tn
common enemy, is not the less laudable.
