MORE FILLIBUSTERING-GENERAL WALKER AGAIN
on MS WAY TO 'NIcARAGUA.-The next arrival from
Honduras, says the New York Times, will no doubt
bring definite information Of the landng0f Gen.
William Walker, with small party of adherents
in Honduras en- route via that isthmus aBd-G
mala, for his old stamping ground, Nicaragua. This
last attempt is evidently the renewalsef Walkers
abortive expedition OF the schooner Susan, which
left Mobile about two years ago, and got wrecked
in the effort TO enter the port of Omoa, compelling
the abandonment of the enterprise.
Gen. Walker arrived at the Island Of Ruatan
about the 25th Of June last board of the schooner
John Taylor where he was Joined by about one
hundred men, who had been gathering there for
month previous, dropping in singly and in small
squads, SO not to attract attention; coming in
fruit vessels and other Struggling conveyances. The
arrangements having been completed the Dew Drop
in command Of Capt. Dimon, suddenly landed some
fifty men, while steamer, reported to have on
board the balance Of the expedition, was lying off
and on, without attempt to land
On the a7th Of june the whole party left the
island OH hoard the John Taylor, "destinaton
known" ! vessel, supposed to be the Taylor,
subsequently seen off Manager Keys, at the mouth
of Ruatan harbor, bound to the southwark, the
proper course for 0moa or Truxillo The arrival of
English man ofwar at Ruatan is also announced
which, under ordinary circumstances, would look
after the tllibuSters but the political excitement
existing in the island IN consequence of the transfer
of the domain to the State of Honduras, and the
need of their services to prevent uprising of the
popuace against the change viii furnish the marines
all the employment they will require, without hunt
ing after Gen. Walker.
Thus it is probable that the entire force will land
at some secluded spot and before any organized at
tempt be made to arrest their march, they will
have made their way across Honduras; or the Pacific
vessels will probably receive the fillbusters on
board and before news of their coming has proceed
ed them invading forces will have landed at Reale
10, prepared to move on Nicaragua. Another sup
position is that Walker will find IN Guatemala con-
siderable reinforcements, which will enable hun to
pass rapidly through that State unmolested
. a person In the confidence Of Cen W aiker, who
recently spent several i1hths in Nicaragua states
that the fillibuster chiel has proclamation all
prepared to be issued the moment he enters the
country, in which peaceful policy will be announc-
ed and amnesty will be granted for all past Of
fences against the dcposed President and his Gov
ernment --....
The past is to DC wholly forgotten, and, if permit
ted to do So the returning chief is to inaugurate
career Of uneXampled prosperity and progress for
his favorite Nicaragua.
To elude the vigilance of the men-of-war Station
ed upon the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, it has been
given out that his expedition would attempt the
Colorado branch Of the San Juan River The ap-
pearance Of the llbusters at the Island of Ruatan
however fully develops the plans which are to be
adopted
