on the I2h From BIN we have full part ;nars Of the
capure Of tina. city, and iul narrative of the events
up 70 the latest date.
Walker made his appearance before the town Of
TruxilIo the 9th Of August at about or O'Clock
in the morning. His whole force numbered 10 men.
all countei. They approached the own in two sepa-
rate psrties. The first landed some three miles
below the city the beach, and proceeded toward the
town by land The second was dsbarsed 10 sma
boats and proceeded pari pass along the STORE They
were all well armed with Mimic muskets b I'd twenty
rounds Of cartridge apiece, and were well supplied
with everything else necessary.
Our informant, who is personally acquainted with
nearly all of them says they fine looking yet OF
men, and showed confident bearing as they marched
up toward the town.
The news of the landing was conveyed TO the town
and fort by Carib. The orS gsrris by 10 20
loo soldiers sustained by 800 400 Patrotes f1ti-
zens who WERE Of course Immediately called TO arms
to disput, the entrance of the Americans.
There were mounted two 24-pouuders, and some Is
smaller peces--the first two brass, OF old Spanish
manufacture. As the party advanced, pari passD,
along the beach and in boats near the shore, the two
lsrzer guns were opened upon them.
When within half mile Of the fort, the land party
also fell into ambuscade of the patriOtes and were
fired upon from the "bu,b," which calamity aud
promptly returned by the Americans in manner that
would have done credit 10 an old guard.
They were soon scattered aud completely roused.
The Americans then continued their advance IN fuli
defiance If he for add the order given TO charge
the rampant which was done in handsome Style, and
the occupants driven III every direction before then.
The firing at his time was sharp, and to give true
description Of it save our informant, would require
ne son familiar with tbs mode of warfare of thess
people, and one vho bad not quite nany nluskets
bills to dodge himself Notwithstanding the burn
ug OF much pow der took TIE fort aad plase with
the loss OF only four wounded Their oss, as near ss
can be asce ralned, is Twelve killed, and many mo
wounded.
The names of tie Americans wounded were: VIM.
Hale shos in the eyehe rtdrns on the schooaer
Dewdrop; Walter Stanley had Al arm broken joan
Cooper shot 10 the knse, and j Bush, Polaadsr,
was slightly wounded in tire eye. Tkey ars all ling
well, aud will econ De able to report for duty.
TIE people Of the towa seem 10 have great conii-
denee in Gen. Walker. Many of he stores open,
and doing business usual Others have left, taking
their goods with hen-aot, they all alege, on ac-
count Of their fear of Walker but OF attack the
town ey band Of punderers aud robbers from the
interior, who Will make this pretense for pundering
and sacking the town.
The forts at Truxilo are said 10 be large, commo-
dious, and well-bult in tbe best s.,le OF Spanish
American trtiteations and defended faithfully by
what means Walker hiss st present at Command, can
not be taken by any force that be brought against
him. Besides, the existing Government Of Guardola
Is unpopular, while his rival Caban4s, Whose Cause
Walker has espoused, is everywhere f&vorite with
the people.
Al last accounts Cabanas was on the Pacific side of
the State of Honduras, where he said 10 be every
where favorably received by tire people. He is ma
tive Of the country, and believed to be OF pure Cas
ian blood
Guardioia is either half breed or foil blooded In
dian. He has the reputation of being very ignorant
and brutal and 20 have obtained his present domino
ton over the country through fear alone.
A tafor oil opd Qa la11Qra
Of the Liberal party perfectly understand and sympa-
tbize with each other is supposed that the plan OF
operation is this:
AS soon as he shal have assumed his position at Trux
illo Walker, leaving garrison for the fort, will set
out with such forces ne may have raised for the in
terror. Cabanas IN the mean time, will march this
way to hi1 with such forces he may command.
II ia believed that the plsce Of nesting will be Coma
yagua, when Gensral Government will be eslb-
lished representing both the Spanish American and
Central American forces.
Guardiola, it is believed, will be able to make but
fee bic resistance 10 the combined forces of the gen.
erals He has, however asked the assistance Of the
reactionary party Of Guatemala and other States OF
Central America and il remains to be seen to what
tent and efficiency this assis ance will be gwen. At
The same time, however, it is believed Walker can
count upon the sympathy and assistance of all the
Liberal party OF all the States-in particular OF Mica
ragua.
We have nearly full list of Walkers men, which
shall Dubsh soon as we can perfect Il. We take
occasion TO cay, however, that many Of them are well
known in this city, and have before distinguished them
selves under Walkers banner in Nicaragua. Among
those particularly mentioned for their valuable services
at the present time is Gen. Ruder of Alabama whose
friends in that State will be glad TO learn Of his
Major Hoff of Virginia and Major Doan Of New-0r-
leans are also particularly mentioned
At Truxilo, Walker had the good fortune also to
come into possession with the fors of large number
of small arms and considerable quantity Of aumuni
ton, provisions, and other stores. He also found
therein, rs before mentioned lumber OF pieces of
cannon which were being remounted, and everything
put ia the best possible condition.
Provisions and stores were being brought in from
the neighboring country and island, and there
doubt of his being able 10 make good his possession Of
the town against all odds. He has not lost since
the expedition started and when our informant left all
his men, except the wounded, were in perfect health
