 WALKERS SuRRESDER.-We have rcceived,by wry of New Orleans, some particulars ofthc cap- ture of the Walker expedition after the flight from Truxllo. The party which pursued Walk CT up the Rio Negro was composed of British Marines and Hondurean troops. Walker surren- dered to the former; and before he was handed over to the authorities of Honduras, Command CT Salmon, of the lcorus, exacted promise that the prisoners should not be harmed until his re- turn from the Belize, where he immed iatelv went to get fresh orders. Walker was shot on the 1th of September, during the absence of tLe Icm'us, in violation of an express stipulation. There is no basis for the suppositon that the British officer was responsible for his safety; between him and Walker there was no agreement whatever and could be none. Wal ker himself forfeited claims to mercy when he refused the conditions of surrender offered him ;n Truxillo. The relations of the parties then came different. Captain Salmon no longer act ed in an independent capacity. He was now the agent of the Honduras Government. He conveyed it's troops to the Rio Negro, helped to capture Walker, and had no choice but to deliv- CT him up when required to do so All his per sonal influence was exerted to save the lives of the fllibusters and when that failed, he left for the Belize to get more positive instructions from the Governor of that colony. Walker really ownes his death to his own obstinacy. He per. sisted in calling himself Nicaraguan. If he had claimed American protection, as an Ameri- can citizen, he would have been saved with the rest; but the ruling passion of his life was strong in death, and the mercy which he has so often refused to others was at the last denied to him.-N. 7.
