GEN. WALKERS MOVEMENTS.

The bark Carib, from Truxilo, Honduras, August
ls has arrived at Boston. By it we have some facts
concerning Walkers movements. The following is
from The Boston Trareler:
Capt Hopkins states that when he left Walker had
received reinforcement, though they were daily
expected. His present force consists Of % men, all
told, five six Of whom stated TO be native Bos
tOnians. AmoDs Others, man named Reed, formerly
clerk in the New England House and other hotels a
young man Hoyt, and surgeon, who, from his de,
crI ton igbt answer for Geote Oliver who served
with distinction surgeon in the Russian service
during the Crimean war.
This force is armed with rifles and clothed in part
with new uniforms which had been prepared for a
guard Of soldiers who to accompany the author-
ties of Honduras III the expedition 10 take possession Of
Ruatsn from the British Government, but which, in
consequence Of the present troubles has not been &C
cOmpbshed.
The city. when Capt Hopkins left, had been com
pletely deserted by is Inhabitants, men, women, and
children, wbo to the number OF 500 70 5000 had fed
some 70 RJatan some TO the mountains and Others all
along the coat abandoning their property to the in
yadeYs
So far, however, this property had been respected
by Walker and two men who had broken into the
store of merchant had been sentenced three months
Imprisonment. proclamation was also issued by
Walker that hereafter any soldier who should commit
a robbery should be immediately shot. Only four men
were lett in Truxillo beside Gen. Walker forces
of whom was the United States Consular Agent and
the others Spsnia De from abroad.
The cause of the panic among the inhabitants was
forces they the natves would be considered allies Of
the fhbusttr forces and punished accordingly. When
Capt Hopkins sal cd there no appearance OF t6s
hostile force nor had a single native OF the country
Joined Walker though he had raised the Central Amer
lean hsg.
He was busiy engaged in strengthening the Fort of
Truxo and was confident that be could mold out until
regpfoIoemenis reached hin. 1t viii be remembered

OF courte this movement of Walker involves consid-
cradle loss not y natives of Truxito but also to
citizens Of the United States. TIE of the bark
