Strhmrf--f urther Particulars.
The New Orleans Picayune gives some fur-
ther particular. of the capture of Gen. Walk
er by the British and Honduraus combined
They are interesting, in view OF the dispatch
published yesterday, which announces that
the last scene in the life of the "gfey-eyed
man Of destiuy," has been witnessed 1t says:
On the ID inst, an expedition was fitted out
from The port OF TruSiilo, for the express pur-
pose OF the capture of Walker and his men
This OK pedition consisted of the British steam
sloop-oi- war 1carus, Commander Salmon, and
a smaller vessel, name and nationality not
given, but she iS presumed 10 nave been Hon.
duran coaster. Both had on board native Hon
duran troops, under he command OF Gen. AL
yaTeZ of the depar truPnt IN which Truxillo is
situated, the same who took possession OF
he city after Walker had abandoned it
This expedition, thus fitted ont at whose sug-
&c ZION is not stated proceeded down he coas I
10 the mouth of the Rio Negro, on or near
which Walker and his men were encamped !;
ihe troops sent up the river in the small boats
of the Icarus Walker and all his men, appa-
ren'iy without resistance, captured taken
down to the steamer and thence To TruxilIo
where they Were formally delivered over in to
the hands Of Gen. Alvarez. According to the
report before us, there We're at the time of the
capture, some seventy men, besides General
Walker and Colonel Rudler. The exact num-
her was probably sevPnty-six, including the
wounded. Many of them were sick, and
nearly all in depiorable state" all Of which
we can we'll believe.
On delivering the prisoners up to General
Alvarez, Commander Salmon is said to have
demanded that Walkers followers both Off
GERS and men. except Col. Rudier should he
permitted 10 return unharmed 10 the United
States-this, however, only on condition that t
they look out never hereafter TO serve in apy
expedi'i n against Central America. Their
passage homr, moreover, was to be paid py
the American CunsHI, Mr. F0Iliu. In The
meantime they We're lodged in the castle which
fhsIEh had : IN,
Walker himself, anu Col Rudler his second
IN command,t TO conditio were exacttd They
were delivered up 10 be- dealt with according
to the law. OF the country, and, it is believed
have leady been shot.
This important news was brought to Ha-
vana by the Spanish war steamer Francisco
de Assis, which left Omoa, Honduras, on the
6th. ana frDxilio on the 7fh. THIS steamer
Wi he renem bered left Havana on the ID,
Tor the Central American coast, no doubt to
watch this very expedition OF whose capture
she Is the first 10 report back the news.
Ihe Francisco de AssiS also reports from
OmOa, that sun another expedition had saIled
from that port on tue Both ult, with the same
object IN vIeW-the capture Of Walker. This
expedition consisted of SiXiy-fVe Guatema-
lans, under the command of Col. Gudoy of
mat SIale, ana number of IoTdurauS, " no

had been dispatched TO Omoa by Col. Caro-,
the Governor of Izabal the adjacent depart,
mehi OF that State, immediately after inteiH-
been received A Omoa they were suitably
reinforced, and dispatched on Government
schooner on the Both. as before stated, bur
nothing appears to have since been heard OF
the * peiIilOn.
Thus ends The last expedition to Central
America under Gen. Walker of which We have
recently heard so much. The first iastaIment
OF II sailed from this port on the 2Oth of April,
and arrived al kuatau Island The 3ist of rhe
same month. Gen. Walker himself, however
did not arrive tIll the 18th OF June, soon at
ter which the expedition was organized as toll
lows:

some hundred men, from all parts of the
Union.
On the 2tst of June the entire party, with
Gen. Waller i'll command, left RGatau for III.
Island of CUZulnel of the coast of Yucatau
where arms, ammunitiOnS aud provisions had
been collected. Thence they sailed again Oh

consumed III watching her IN turn. Oa tht
Gth OF August, however, while the Off
GERS OF The lcarus were enjoying themselves
at Belize, the expedition quietly effected its
landing at Tru&lllo, and took possession OF
the city. The rest is too we'll known 10 need
recIting.
