Translated from The Harana Diario de la Marina,
| Sept 26th
BY the steamer Osceola, which arrived Yesterday
at baaoano from Iruxilo, we have received letters
that give us an account of the tragical end Of the
great tilibuster. We insert them below; and it is
highly satisfactory to note the Christian death of
the celebrated fbuster. 1t is great pity that a
man capable of such sentiments should have led
lille during which he caused so many disasters to
humanity.
1t is not less satisfactory to u.s. to see how merc-
fully disposed the authorities of Honduras were to
the gratuitOus disturbers of the tranquility of the
country. The gift of life conceded to the second in
command Is an eloquent demonstration of the noble
spirit which prevailed there, as is also the humane
and generous treatment shown to the officers and
soldiers of the expedition. The writers who daily
insult these countries--iOr which they cannot find
epithets sufficiently hard-may here learn all that
there is respectable and honorable in the senti-
ment of which the authorities of Honduras have
just given proof
Here the letters:
TRUXLLo, Sept. Is, lSG0-The capture of Wal
ker and some seventy individuals of his party hav-
ing been effected by Gen. Alvarez, who, with two
hundred men, pursued them in connection with the
steamer lcarus, | am about to narrate to yOu cir
cumstantialIy, the particulars of the entrance and
execution of the chieitain
On the 5th inst, at the moment that Gen Godnv
with the auxiliary troop of Guatemala, set sail
with two vessels to join Gen. Alvarez, the schooner
Correo came to anchor in the fort, bringing back
the expedition of Gen. Alvarez himself The Icarus
remained behind from motives Of convenience but
she also came to anchor during the night.
The next day, at four o'clock in the afternoon
three great launches (the very ones used by the in
vaders,) were brought alongside of the steamer to
receive the prisoners, who came ashore under
guard OF the marines of the Icarus.
Upon dsembarking the marines marched first;
the Hondureno troops came next, marching in hol-
low square, with the prisoners in the centre.
With the exception of few all the party
looked like cOrpses, and some of them were
apparently in the last agOnes. With their sad
and languid looks, they appeared to curse the
leader who had brought them to such dire extremi-
ties.
The march at the entrance was slow and solemn.
Walker at the head of his people, marched to the
tap of the drum, and was the observed of all OBJ
servers.
As soon as Walker entered the prison he was
heavily ironed, aud asked if he wanted anything.
lie only asked for water. He then sent for the
Chaplain of this port, and protesting his faith as
Roman Catholic, he was thereafter almost
constantly kneeng at the feet of the priest in front
of small altar which by the dim light of the
tapers the image of Jesus Distinguished
Among other things he once said to the Chaplain
81 am resigned TO die; my political career is
cluded"
On the 18th inst, at o'clock p. NJ, Walker was
notified of his sentence Of death; and this start
ling message the only reply he made was to ask at
what hour it would be executed, and whether he
had time to write.
On the 18th, at O'Clock A. NJ, the culprit
marched to the place of execution. lie walked with
a crucifx in his hand, upon which he bent all his
regards, looking neither to the right hand nor to
the left, but listened pously to the psalms which
the priest recied in his ear. He entered the ho-
low square formed by the soldier in the place of
execution, and there, full of resignation, he pro-
nOunced the following words: 81 am a Roman
Catholic. The war which | made upon Honduras
in accordance with the suggestions of some Rua
tanOes, unjust. Those who accompanied me
are not to blame. | alone am guilty l ask pardon
of the people. | receive death with resignation
would that it may be for the good of society"
Walker died with remarkable fOrtiude. His re-
mains received into n tomb and rest in peace
for perpetual example.
One day after the execution of Walker, the Ame-
rcan schooner John e. Taylor, with reinforce
ments and arms for the flibusters, anchored in the
port, but she soon afterwards disappeared having
recognized the forces Of the republican power The
immediate arrival of American man of-war
steamer is announced, and iis considered very pro-
bable that other vessels, with reinforcements for the
unhappy expedition, will arrive, as the promoters
thereof in the United States ignora ant of the fate
| of Walker.
TRUxILLO, Sept. l8.-The band of marauders
which the buccaneer Walker commanded with the
title of General having been captured, the Com
mander of the port ID. Norberto Martinez, proceed
ed to try by cOurt-martial Walker and his second
+. A. Rudler. The case was referred to the chief
of the restoring force, General d. Mariana Alvarez
who after having heard the criminals in their own
behalf sentenced the first to capital punishment
and the second to four years imprisonment, both
being satisfied with the sentence.
The defence made by the criminals themselves
does not contain any attempt at excupatiOn; and
on the contrary, Col. Rudler, the second in com
mand, has handed to Commander Martinez, through
the medium of the English Consul, a communca-
ton manifesting his gratitude to the Republic for
the mercy with which he had been treated. The
rest of the exPedition-some seventy odd-have
been pardoned under the condition and oath that
they would never enlist again for any similar van
dal expedition against any republic in Central
. America.
Walker shot; and suffered the penalty in the
old Plaza de Armas, which communicates with the
mole which he disembarked on the morning of
August 9th. Those who have been pardoned still
remain in Truxillo, while vessel is preparing to
take them back to the United States. They are
very well treated, and even ladies of the highest
rank, forgetting the fatgues of their recent flight,
assist the sick and wounded. The forces of the
Government cOmport themselves with much
propriety, that even foreigners admire their sub
