Full Particulars Of the Capture Of Trux-
illo-Twslve Killed and Twenty One
Wounded.
The New Orleans papers Of the 24th
furnish these details Of the capture Of
Truxillo by Walker and his fllibusters:
The fort was STACKED On the morning Of
the 9Th inst, at daylight. Three Of Gen.
Walkers men were slightly wounded
Fiftsen Of the enemy were reported killed
and a number wounded. The advance
guard Of ths expedition encountered pick
ct Of the enemy, two miles from the fort
and drove thsm in, with the loss Of sever
al killed. The main body rapidly followed
up this advantage. and, after an half hour s
hard fighting, drove the enemy from the
fsrt. The Honduresn forces were reported
by the citizens TO have amounted 70 400
men.
Gen. Walker took prisoners the Colleo-
Of the Port, and Lieutenant, but after
wards released them. He also took sixteen
cannon-smcng them, one twenty-fOur
FOUNDER and a brass twelve FOUNDER which
commands the Pass-ons hungred and
twenty-five stand Of arms, eighteen hun.
dred pounds Of powder, and large guam
tity Of munitions, including clothing, provis-
ions, sto. Gen. Walker feels confident Of
being able TO hold Truxills for the next
four months sgainss any force that may be
brough. against him. He is assisted BY
Gen. Cabauas, who is opposed TO the pres
ent President, Gen. Guardiola. The latter
has applied to Gen. Carrers, Dictator Of
Guatemala, fer assistance. which has been
refused.
A large number ofthe natives are jsin-
ing Gen. Walkers standard. The schooner
Clifton was not seized BY the authorities al
Belize; but her hsiches were forsibly bro.
ken open, and in consequences she was
abandoned under protest Of her commander,
Capt. Mccormick. The Clifton had reg.
ulsr clearance frsm this port, and her car
20 was ns, contraband al Ruatsn, the place
Of her destination. Several masters and
merchants have frequently carried arms
and smmuni,ion from this port and Belize
to Rautan, under regular entry, after pay
ing duties.
SOUTHWEST Pass, August o. The
sshoener Dewdrop, from the Rautan Is
lands, arrived a. the Bar this morning
This arrival furnishes Us with further par
ticulars regarding the capture Of the town
Of Truxillo by Gen. Walker and his small
army. The fight vas more serious and
bloody than was previously reported. There
were twelve Spaniards killed, and eighteen
wounded; while on the American side only
three received sligh, injuries. Gen. Walk
er was still IN possession Of Truxillo. He
has declared himself in favor of Cubanas,
and issued proclamation.

Walkers intention is to effect a revolution
in Honduras. where he has sous friends,
and after establishing his authority there
to enter the Nicaraguan territory, and at.
tempt the overthrow Of the government.-

gold, silver, lead. copper and some of the
precious stones, is very considerable. Its
extensive forests furnish some of the finest

The government Of Hendnras is republi-

the President. There is, so far as we
knew, ne discomfort with the government

greater degree Of comfOr. than the inhabi-
iants Of any ether Central American State.
We cannot, therefore, believe that General
Walker, who has 50 recklsssly disturbed
their peace, and whose aim would seem to
be pIunder, will find many partizans smong

will now meet the fate Of bandit and new
