Patrullo & Echeveria, Total...... rs in ss olion RO ‘The election for President of Nicaragua took place on the 24th of June. Whole districts went to the polls for Gen. Walker, with only a very few opposing votes. The official returns had not been made at thgJast dates from Granada; but there was no doubt that Gen. Walker was elected by an overwhelming majority, the common people looking upou him as their deliverer from. the oppression and injustice of the native leaders. ‘The army of Walker had received large reinforcoments, gumbering now about 1,800 men and two fine artillery companies, with six field pieces. Many of the soldiers who enlisted for a short term of wervice, bave received their discharges, taken up land, and gone to farming. A silver mine in Chontales, owned by Major J. P. Heiss, of Washingtou, has been opened, and twenty tons of oro ‘were shipped to England, by the British steamer Clyde, ‘which sailed from San Juan on the 6th ixstant. It is e3- timated from primary assays made at the mine, that this ore will yield from $700 to $800 per ton. ‘The Orizuba left in the harbor of San Juan, July 7, H. B. M. frigate Euridyce, Capt.

It will be {da by the fbllswing decrees aa addresses, that Don Fermin Ferrer, formerly Minister ot Hacienda, has been appointed Provisional President of the repub- lic during the interregnum between the flight of Rivas and the election of a new President by the people. The power of the State is thus happily conferred upon the only reliable member of the government, and we may add, the only Minister who ever had the coafidence of General Walker. A fortunate chain of events in- vests this appointment with all the forms of ity; as under the treaty executed by the democrats serviles in Granada, on the ion of the late provisional go- vernment, it was expressly stipulated that Gen, Walker should be invested with the power to appoint a new errant in the event of the dissolution of the old one. ttreaty, which ia the basis of all legitimate operations im this republic, placed the power to provide for the State in the hands of the commander of the army; and in the appointment of Don Fermin Ferrer Gen. Walker not oF preserves the republic but follows out the line of his uties. In the second place, when President Rivas left the city some time since for Leon, he delegated all his powers to General Walker, and placed the State under martial law. Thus the defaulting Executive gave away the very au- thority which was necessary to declare even him a traitor, should he desert the State, In reconstruction of the provincial government, therefore, the most complete authority accompanies the action of the Commander-in-chief. According to the only law known since the treaty of Grana¢a, between Gen. Walker on the one side, and Gen. Corral on the other, the existing government of Nicaragua, under President Ferrer, is entitled to the utmost respect due to any lega'ized government. An election takes place soon, however, when the people will choose their own Presi- dent; aud when that is done, the ee, provisional LP yiger will dissolve as peaceably as it has been formed, and the State will move ou under the direction of the popular will.

From Chinandega, Don Maximo Jerez, in his capacity as Minister of War, sent word to Realejo to suspend the publ c work of fortifying that place, and directed that the place be dismantled of its present armament, Orders were also sent to Col. Natamer, in command at Leon, to wi hdraw his sentry from the Princtoal, and allow each of the two towers of the cathedral to be garrisoned by Ofty soldiers of the country. The frontier picquets were all called in and a very general order carried out to leave the State open to the army of invasion, which was known to be advancing on Leon, The President expressed great fear of his life, and stated that the above reguls..:as were necessary for his safety. The order sent to Colonel Natzmer was not obeyed until it was submitted to General Walker, who imme- iat ordered the American commander in Leon to comply with the mandates of Minister of War, and r, to withdraw with bis whole force from that city. “i Ab ae ese Ganetal, Bae me ie Snore Pee , e was in’ Nagarot he ol oops, marching on Leon; butaler Biving this order ho Hopped ‘at Mana- gua until the Rifle battalion under Lieut.

President Rivas and his Cabinet, with the exception of Don Fermin Ferrer, are now in Leon, but the commander will bave no further communication with them. They are known to have made propositions to the enemies of the country, inviting them to invade Nicaragua, and Gen. Walker intends to leave them with their new friends. The above is a succinct account of ore of the strangest revolutions on record, and we leave the world to draw its own ccnclusions as to the motives that probably control led the President in his conduct. We can only account for iton the ground of fear, both from the external ene- mies of the State and from the fact of au approaching election. It is well known that whenever an election has taken place in this republic, the defeated eancidate either fled or was summarily executed. It io jechalie, hia Ex- cellency remembered this failing of the State, and know- ing that an election was about to transpire in the coun- try, he accordingly concluded to follow the example of his predecessors and save himself by flight. It is also known [that while the Costa Ricans were in Rivas, and timid men doubted the result, Senor Rivas attempted to make his peace with President Mora, by submitting pro- positions to that gentleman. This circumstance convinces§us that the approach of an election and an invading irk at theysame time so frightened President Rivas that he ge knew what he was doing? and in a moment of partial insanity and chronic deceitfulaess, he left the Presidency and thus lost all hope for the future. After the flight of the President from Leon, the people of that city became uneasy at the speech of Senor Salizar, and anxiously inquired of the Fathers of the Church there was any truth in the statement that the Americans intended to destroy the religion of the land. The Vicar of Leon, a and faithful man, instantly denied the calumny, and ordered all the priests to declare on Sunday that the report was untrue. The people again became reconciled, and the revulsion sets strongly against Presi- dent Rivas and his advisers. The bp gered in Wi ~ e From icaraguenge, June 14. On Weanbsday, ‘Thursday and Friday, the election for President, Senators and representatives, took place in this city—that is, this department cast its vote for President, and elected a Senator and two representatives to the Legislature, which assembles at the regular time in gua.

The electioa of a repre- sentative being the first to be disposed of, the namer of Don Fermin Ferrer, and Don Carlos Thomas were placed in nomination. On the first ballot, Don Fermin Ferrer received 23 votes, and Den Carlos Thomas 17, maxing in all 41—the entire strength of the Convention, Don Fer- min Ferrer was then declared elected. ‘The election of a substitute, who should attend the Le- islature in case of any disability on the part of Don Fermin Ferrer, was next to be attended to, Padre San- tiago Solorsano, Don Clete Mayorga and two or three other candidates were voted on the fl ballot, none of whom received a majority of the whole vote, and there- fore the President declared there was noelection. The election Was again entered into, and, —s to the rule, all but the two highest candidates were dropped, and the election coniined to Padre Santiago Solorsano and Don Cleto Mayorga, The next vote stood, for the former 21, and for the latter lecting Tadre Santiago Solor- ano, The voting proceeds in the following manner:—All the delegates take their seats, which they maintain during the fear ion of the Convention.
