LATER FROM WALKER s EXPEDITION
EMIGRATION FROM TRUYILLO.

From The ~ o Piea0une, Aug 81
The brig Creole Capt Foubister arrived at this por
last 0ening from Ruatan lsiatd, the 18th inst. She
reports that the bark Active, small coaster which
plies between the Bay lsaGds and mainland arrived a
Pot MoDonald late in the evening of the l5th, from
Truxilo bringing lead of passengers and word thai
"the town was to be attacked that night by strong
"force from aback Ii. g., the country 1rOupd). Tnt
ozark Carib is expected over to-day with other pas
"seDgers
Tpon ipoury we learn this in explanation: that the
friends Of Guardioa had assembled in considerable bat
by no means threatening numbers, ouside ths
city, soon after Walker took possession OF il,
for the purpose of attacking it. This frightened
great many tmid and ignorant people, who applied 10
General Walker for protection and the General to
assure them told them they had better 90 Rua-
tan Island where they would certainly be safe. And
taking him at his word, they had actually proceeded
thiiher, as stated, in con ,idergbe numbers
Nevertheless we are assured on the best authority
that all false alarm that no attack really
meditated upon the town and that in any which
seems probable, Walker, from his P ston and the
means at his disposal, would be able 10 make at all
times the most successful defense.
Furthermore we learn from Truxo that the city re-
manned, up 10 the 18th inst, perfectly quiet in the pos
session of Walker that the guDs had been all remonnt-
ed the forts in splendid sye that the best health
and discipline prevailed in the army, and that far
from having spprshensions Of an attack, all the men
were looking forward with high hopes to expedition
to Comayagua, the capital, where they expected TO
meet Cabailas other leaders Of the Liberal party
From Ruatan there is nothing new, aud from the Be-
lie BIitieh Honduras, whence the Creole originally
sailed nothing but THE, that Walkers landing Trux
lilo had ea'ed no excitement whatever nor was it
likely that il would in any way engage the attention Of
the British authorities.
Our next news from the expedition will probably be
by the schooner Toucey, which may now be expected
here at any moment.
The schooner John A. Taylor, Capt. To nbard sailed
from this port last evening fer Ruatan Island, with
merchandise reported elsewhere. She had on board,
also, number of passengers, friends Of Walker for
TruKO, HODduras who 60 out la the most psacea BE
manner, most of them on special invitation, and with
the expectation Of being engaged in the civil depart
mebt of this lew Government. We may add even,
that Of them will probably upon their arrival be
invited portfolios in he Cabinet. And in this
connection assured that il is the Intention OF
Walker, he shall have put himself iully en-
rapport with the supporters of the Liberal party of
Honduras, 10 establish Government which will have
an eye single TO the peace and prosperity of the
county.
OfcOurse Walkers ultimate destination is Nicaragua
but the cause of the Liberal party OF Honduras ADD
indeed Of all tbe States Of CtnIai America If one and
the zane.
James Martin, one Of Walkers men, after giving an
account Of the capture Of the fort snd city, substan
