From The ~ o. PicdvErs 1sh.
BY the receipt Of our Havana mail m full since our

expedition to Honduras the probable fate Of the lead
ers and the disposition of the men, upwards of seventy
In number, most Of whom are natives OF the United
States.
Our last COWS, it will be remembered, left tho ex
pedition rs.ItaDg from Truxillo, at place called
Lmas, or 5imon, thirty miles from the abandon
ed city, II the direction of Cape Graciss. This was
Sunday The Goth ut There we're then seventysiX men
in all good health and spirits, as reported with three
or our wounded in late engagements with tle natives
II was reported Ut the tine that the natives had
dess'ei fo the pursuit and that there was no danger
of further unoyance by land.
All this turns out 10 be true. On the I'd n5t how
ever, IN expedition fitted ont from the pert Of
TruziDo for the express purpose Of the cap.nre OF
Ws IkeT end bis This expedition corss'ed OF tho
Brtsh steam soopof war loarus, Commander Sal non,

Both bats beard native Hondurau troops under the
command Of Gen. Alvsrsz OF the department in which
1uAio is situated, the sane who took possession OF
the city after Walker had abandoned II.
This expedition thus flied out, at whose suggestion
not sisted rroceeGed down the coast 70 the mouth Of
the Rio Negro, on or near which Walker aud MS osa

psrently without resistance, captured, taken down 10
The steamer and thence to TruXlo, where they were
formally delivered overin'o the hands Of Gen. Alvarez
Accordipe 10 the report before u.s. there were al tho
tine of the capture some seventy men, beside Gen.
| Walker and Col Rud er. Tbs exact number was
probably seventy-six, including the wounded: Many
10 Of them were eick, and nearly all IL deplor .ble

| On delivering the prisoners up to Gen. Alvarez
| Cor nerder Salmon is said TO have demanded tHat
Walker followers both officers and men, except Cot
| Ruddler, should be permitted to return uuhnmel 10
| the United States This, however, only on condition.
that they look out hereafter to serve in any eX
| petition against Central America. Their passag5
home, moreover, was 70 be paid by tie American Con-
| hul Nh FOliD. In the meantime they were lodged
in the castle which they had 70 recently aba don5d
IL favor of Walker himself, and Col. Raider bis
second in command, no conditions were exaced. They
delivered up g be dealt with according - the
laws of the country and it is belisyed, have already
been shot.
This important news was brought 10 Havana by the
Sparih war steamer Francisco de Asss, VIII n left
Omoa, Honduras, on the 6tn, snd IruElo on the 7th
This steamer, il viii be remembered, lCft Havana on
the ID for the Central American coast doubt 70

joined TO ihem. The Guatemalaus had been dispatched
70 Omoa by Col Caro-, the Governor of label the ad
iacent department of that State Immediately after in
telligsnce of Walkers landog ia Honduras had been
received. At Omoa they were SUI ably reGniOr, ed,
and dispatched CT Government schocne. on tbs Both,
before stated but nothing appears to have since been
heard Of the expedition.
HISTORY OF THE EXPEDITION.
Thu ends the laet expedition to Central America
der Gen. Walker Of which we have recently heard 20
much. The first ins,sment of i, sailed from this port
On The Goth Of April, and arrived az Ruatan Island o.
the 3lst Of the same month. Gen. Walker himself,
however old not arrive till the Is of June soon after
which tho expedition was organized az follows
Cen Walker Cen6sIHC hief Col a. f. Rudlsr, Col.
ontl Comm Msjor v ooH acting Captain Com.
pany Major Thomas Don, getting Captain Of Company
Cspt j. g. Wea Chiefof Comnary Department. Capt Sual
Chief Of Ordnance Depa ent; Lieut. John Ryan, Chief of
ouaIternter Department. Noah Parsons FI. Lieutenant
Company A.
The sub.oficers and rank and file numbered IN al
some hundred men, from all parts of the Union.
On the Dist Of Juue, the entire party, with Gen.
Walker in command l5f Ruatan for the lsapd Of CJZl-
mel of the coast Of lucatan where arm7 6mn1nitiOns
and provisions had been collected. Thence they sailed
again on the 9th for Honduras, but not direct rs
before mentioned the British manof- var Iarus was
watching them, and over month was consumed IN
while tho officers Of the Icarus enjoying them
selyes al Belize, the expedition quietly effected ito
laudirg At TruXillo and took possession of the city
The rest ia too well known to need reciting.
As already stated a special condition in favor Of
Walkers followers insisted upon by the British
Honduras authorizes, and we have reason 10 doubt
it wac faithfully complied with. We may, therefore,
expect them back by the next arrival. Walker him
self and Col. Rudler, bis second in command. have
doubtless this suffered the extreme penalty Of their
temerity.
