--latest of the Party and their Troba-
bic Fate.

We were this morning put IN possession OF
still further int lligcrce of Walkers eXpedi-
ton 10 Honduras. II is furnished TO us from
In authoritative source, aud will perhaps help
Us 10 form an opinion of the probable fate OF
the parry.
And first ct ali, Ne are assured that The
steamer 0.cpoia whose report at Batabano.
CI5;. We have already published. left TruX
lilo before our last arrival direct from that
place. The news brought by her, therefore,
that Walkers party had already, in various
conflicts with the natives, been reduced TO 4
remnant of twenty-five nen. is believed to
bG incorrect 1t comes To us, indeed, only as
Il report which had reached the town whete
naturally aRy report oi the kind would be
very much magniicd.
From a careful comparison OF the dale we
are convinced that the very latest news of
the party is If Sunday, the 10Th ult., on which
day two Gi Walkers officers lett the main
land for Euatan Island, for provisions. They
com" over in barge aud experienced rough
weather, but did not reach the island till the
29lh, and then were compelled 10 land on an
unihhablted shore, whence they made their
WAY to Fort Mcdonald the next day.
These officers left Walker and his party,
Sunday the 10Th, at place called Linus
abandoned mahogany works. on river of
me same name, some thirty or forty miles
from Truxilo, in the direction OF Cape Ora
cias. Up TO this time the losses had been
only two, Private Pomeroy, killed, as before
stated. in an engagement with the enemy,
and Private Coleman, who fell a victim to
the prevailing fever OF the country.
In the engagement above mentioned there
were also five wounded as before stated
/ Major Hoolf. of Virginia Private James J.
Hogg, of this city, and Private Samuel Coffin,
| of Natchez. The names OF the other two
have not reached us.
The remaining seventy six were all In ex-
cellcnt health. and amply provided with
arms and ammunition. Each man had
Mimic musket a hundred rounds. and many
of them the latest improved revolvcrs. Ot
clothing. they had only one suit each, but
that good. Tents. blankets. or other camp
enuipage they had none. The nights, how
ever. in that country. at this season OF The
wear. are not uncomiUrtably cold They
would absolutely stand in need Of them only
in case uf rain.
IL being cattle raising county they had
of course. abundance Of good fresh beef
They were only in want ct vegetables, for
which the party mentioned had been sent to
the ueigbbOring Island.
Soon after the news reached Port Mellon
aid. a small vessel was chartered by Walkers
friends there 10 proceed to the main land
with these provisions, additional clothing
and other assistance.
As to the report brought by the OsceOla,
that the party were seeking Il return 10 the
Islands. we are assured it has no foundation
in fact. II is believed by our informant that
they would either proceed down the coast to
CAPE GraciaS to embark for some port in
Nicaragua. or strike directly across the cOun-
try. with the same destination in view. Their
next movemcnt would be TO Il Carib village,
about twenty-five miles from Limas, where
signals we've to be erected as guides for the
returning officers
In addition To the above, we learn that
there i no probability of the party being
further pursued in that direction by the
natives. Fears, however. were entertained
| of being further molestcd by the British
man -of-war Capt. Salmon openly declared
/ il to be his intention Ia get possession of
! Walker. if he could. But ii is not probable
/ he would send his marines. with which he
was not very abundanty supplied, far inland.
! As to the probability OF achievements.
we only know that party of some thirty
| five left this city on the 3lst for Truxiilo
direct They will there soon find out the
actual state of things, and probably attempt
/ to reach their friends on the lower coast.
/ But il is doubtful if they will be able 10
make u landing. Capt. Salmon says he will
prevent it if possible.
! Another party of fifty is now assembled
| in our city and nearly ready to sail but we
understand that their movements are not yet
| definitely arranged.--Ntt0 Orleans Ficay1He
