GEN. WALKER.-The following dispatch from
| New Orleans to the Charleston Mercury, gives a
fuller account of the proceedings of Walker in Cen
trail America than that published yesterday:
| The arrival of the bark Araminta which sailed
from Ruatan on the 9th, brings us highly interest

! Central America. The squads of men who had
! been arriving for weeks in fruit vessels from New
Orleans, had finally sailed from Ruatan, under the

General Walker directed his first attack
against the city of Truxillo, in Honduras
This he captured with but trihing loss In the last
accounts, however, the British flag was seen float
| ing from the port of TruXillo. 1t is understood
here, among the friends of Walker, that he will
pass through Honduras, and take possession of the
| Northern portion of Nicaragua. His followers
were, at the last advces, in high spirits and conid-
ent OF the success of their scheme. The Araminta
| brings Captain John Mccormick and the crew of
the American schooner Clifton, which was seized by
the British authorities at Belize the ground of
her cargo consisting of contraband munitions of
war. The most intense excitement prevailed among
tne people OF Ruatan against the domination of
Honduras, and the people were arming on all sides
to resist the proposed transfer
