HAVANA, Septic, 1860.
Mr. Elitoi,-I write you these few lines to pc |
forwarded by the steamship Star of the West; the
heavy rain whichis now falling and the beasty state
in which our streets are, lmpedes me from going
out however, to inquire whether she IS slgnaleu
from the Moro Castle, that l am in doubt
whether my trouble is of any use.
By the Spanish manofwar steamer FRANCISCO
de Asis arrived yesterday from Truxillo, we have
received further and important news about walk
en- He has been captured, and is now in the hands
of his enemies, who will probably make shortWork
of his existence.
1t appears that after having been commanded to
evacuate Truxillo by the commander Of the Brit
ish screw steamer Icarns--as advised you N my
lasthe took the direction Of lmo1 apout shitbS tb
port of Truxillo, accompanied by small schooner;
| both vessels carrying troops, under the command
of Gen. Alvarez, and, entering the Negro river,
| they captured on its banks Walker, Ruttief ana
seventy other individuals the greater part sick and
| all in most wretched condition. They were taken
| back to Truxille, with their arms and baggage,
and then given up by the commander OF the learus 9
1 to Gem Alvarez with the sole condition that Walk
/ er and Ruttler should be properly treated, and
that the seventy individuals who accompanied them
should be allowed to return to the United STATES,
/ under oath never to form part of any expedltlon
against Central America; the United States Con-
4 sular agent paying their passage home.
Gen. Alvarez agreed to all these conditions, the
prisoners being shut up in the CASTLE and - It vas
| believed that the two chiefs, walker ana hutuer,
would both be shot next day.
| "A general crusade against Walker was preached
/ amongst the Central American states as soon as
his landing was known, and the DtdTto des M5''snd
of to-day publishes spirited address OF the Presl-
| dent of Nicaragua.
About Mexico nothing is said; everything has
been hushed, and there are no busters about bonn
1 harding Vera Cruz. Uncle Sam has perhaps
| stepped in and wanted to see what was the tun.
| In the Prensd l believe, l saw some remarks
| about the American squadron at Norfolk, and ac-
coYding to the writer's views it was poor attempt
| at a squadron. They have an idea here that You
folks do nothing but drink, and as to fighting with
| fists and beating Englishmen, you may perhaps
| brag about it: as to military and naval tactics,
| that is another question. God knowst they may be
| right after ALL
All know is this, that all the intelligent Span.
iards that have travelled in the United States and
returned here bring with them quite different ideas
from those they had on their departure.
The royal lottery is to be drawn tomorrow. .
/ On Monday last there was grand procession IN
the streets in the vicinity of the Monserrate church
/ The streets were crowded with people and the
houses were adorned in very gay manner AS
4 soon as the Virgin entered the church there was
quite rush in of the principal streets, caused
4 by band of twelve mulattoeS, armed with dag
gers who nsulted several ladies, wounded several
/ people and murdered old negro who came IN
| their way, and, after all, managed to escape With
1 out even seeing commissary.
| The schooner G. W. Lindsay, Stewart, arrived
| on the 8th at Cardenas from your port, and the
/ bark Horace, Beels, left this port for yours on
