THE WALKER EXPEDITION.
From II, N. O. Picavune, Sept 81.

The schooner John A. Taylor Capt Lombard, be-
fore reported at the Pass with later ne rs from Hon.
Guras arrived up to the city this morning.
TIE Taylor, it will be remembered left this port on
the 3lst nit direct for Truxilo, Honduras, with re
endorsements for Walker. She arrived off lruxiilo on
the lith and made signal which not being ans Eered
by Gen. Walker ss expected, she proceeded on 70 Eua
ian leland where she for the first time learned the ta
rtsut Of the " hole expedition: -
As before stated Gen. Walker abandoned TruXillo
on the DIST in obedience to the demand Of Capt Sal
mon Of the British sloopowar cares, and proceeded
ceeded down the coast toward Cape Grscias. They
were pursued by the natives, who came up with them
ct The San Roman River, where an engagement was
fought and tiDey If the enemy were killed or reported
hi. x. Walker lost bat mai killed and one taken
prisoner. The latter, whose name is not given, was
afferwsrd baIbsrously Murdered by the natives. =.
The fUgitives then proceeded on In the same drec-
ton TO point some twenty miles distant from the an
Roman, where they were surprised by party OF 20
naliyes In this engagement t is reported thSt Walker
ost tw enty men. The number Of the enemy lost was
unknown.
After this engagement the remaining party proceeded
on 10 the RIO Negro where they took possession Of an
adobe house in which they fortified themselves In the
best possible in expectation OF further pursuit
by the patives The natives, however, followed them
no further than the place Of the second and last en-
gagement - ,,,,
and without opposition of auy kind till the sppear 4nce
of the British on the 4h when, as before stated they
finally surrendered
The paIty TO which Walker surrendered was two or
three hundred strong, and was composed OF BRUSH
marines and natives. Tire latter were taken down
from Truxillo in HondursD coaster called tue Correo,
or meil boat which was accustomed to ply betwesn
Truxillo, Omoa, AID the Blize. The C"rreo was
tOyyed down by the lcarus winch vessel also a'commo-
dated portion Of the native troops
The Icsrus came to anchor at the mouth OF the klo
Negro and the party was sent up he stream IN small
boats- portion of them 10 the boats OF the loarus

taken down to The Icsrus snd by her direct TO tfux-
lilo where they were handed over 10 the icndursn
authorities Tie IcaIus then proceeded on 10 the ia
lie for further orders. , .
Bsfo1e dojrp go however Capt Salmon exscted of
the authorities the promise that of the whole
party should be harmed until his return. This cond-
ton iIceeo, was insisted upon before they were &C.
hvered up At last accounts from IruXlllo the larns
had not returned, and the whole party were s. In
duress.
The further orders which the Icarus went TO the
Baize 10 obtain, were concerning the dspQsltoa OF
Gen. Walker aad Col Ruder. The HOdcurd' au 4.
thOliies willingly consented 10 the immediate re urn OF
the rect OF the Isriy 70 the Unued Sa'es, end tue
British schooner Richard Sanford lad already been
chartered 10 bring then home.
Walker ard Rudler however, would not consent 10
cain tie protection of the United States 3. They
claimed to be cirzsns of Nicsagu and on. OF this
grew the difficulty in regard to their disposition IL
6aid positively, tLs had they claimed to be American
citizens they would also have been given up with the
rest.
The probabilities then ere, far a. information had
reached the ,lsnd that the whole party would inaiiy
be get al liberty. Ii was expressly stipulated thi no
man should be harmed befors The return 0f the lcarus,
and il was ct believed that her commander OF the
Baze authorities would advise consent, 10 Walkers
or Rudler's death.
Since the above was written we learn Walker sur
rendered without resistance, 10 the English on the
RIO Negro, his men being in naked and starving con-
diiiGn.
We are also positively assured that Capt salmon, OF
the learns went to the Belze TO Obtain GOV FrlGss
iUfufnee 10 prevent the execution, declaring that
bis honor would be compromised # it should take
pla>e. rn
The Icarus was seen returning from BaiZe 10 Irux.
ilo az the Taylor passed Fort Mcdonald as supposed
with dispatches which would probably prevent the ex'
eCutlOn.
