4 NEW YORK Hf ~ CENTRAL AMERICAN WARFARE. The Last Costa Rican Dodge against General Walker. Ctreular Addressed by the Seven Prisoners | Taken at and after the Battle of Santa Ro~ aa to the People of the United States. Puyrs Angyas, REP Coeta Rica, 2 May 21, 1856. | j Comzxys ov rae Usorep Starrs :—lt may ‘seem some- if pot paradoxical, tbat sithoush ow held as prisoners of war by a gen=rous toe, st whom we have contended, that this pe riod of imprisonment should be the only free mo- ment which we bave enjoyed in Central .\merca, of expressing our sincere, honest and mature convictions, with the least hope of our communi, cations ever reaching their destination in the United . The reason is a simple one: in the republic of Nicaragua General Wm. Waiker has for many months st established a strict system of espionage over the Feat ottioes of the country, and no letter or other com- munication is permitted to pass to a foreign country, ua- less it is replete with the most fanciful accounts of his greatness, his glory, and the unparal eled succ ‘ss of bis arms; and as are pumerous correspondents there who cither are office or office seekers, who are perfectly willing to draw upon “their fancy for their parts,” it is not to be wondered at that the newspapers of the Caited States, with the exception of the Vhronle, of San Fran- cieco, should teem with fulsome compliments to his great- yess, which never existed except in the too fervid or well hired fancy of the writer, and should alsocon’aina recor t of glorious vicwories, which, when impartial and untram- melled truth holds the pea as it oes in the Inditing of this ereular, will be proved to be ip every instance (except one) disgraceful and disastrous defeats, Our motive for addressing this circular to the citizens of the United States, is for the purpose of stripping the Modern Mokava of’ the silver tissued vei! which fancy apd craft combined have artfully contrived to throw around him. Our motive is to present Wm. Walker as he exists infact, by adducing bis past history and past ac- tions, && proofs urquestionable that he is no statesman, no general, no lawyer, no judge of human nature, and that he is Sven a most indifierent imitator of the redout- able Don Quixotte. Our motive is, to prevent ir future (if possible), the young men of the United States from being deluded, betrayed and deceived as we haye beep, by Msguiticent promises of gain and elory, uot one of which ‘ave ever or will ever be complied with. Remember, reacer while perusing this circular, that holders you ore ing not th aly of tea prisoae: ‘but the sober, solemn uments of every North Americam soliier now ot al Walker. ‘With ihe ex als, we have no hesita- tion in ass eutre army of Wm. Walker would a"\x res to this document aud attest Ms trvth, if wey only enjoyed the freeman’s privilege of liberty ia speech and ac ption of that 1 rs military career com ana tvily, and be has ever coutinued to be ‘faut to his frst orecede: The world |< mbtely tomiliar with the insane ck upon Lower Cali. fornia.

If his os nt is popular, why is tt that he has not one vo- fitter among the privates im the native army? Why ‘are bis native troops all forcibly pressed at the point of the bayonet into the service? We defy sophistry itxelf to anrwer the question, No, fellow citizens, if the Ameri- can sok’'ery now in Granada do not quickly administer to William Walker, his well deserved and amply earned coat of tar and feathers for his blue faved falsehood and double distilled stupidity, of which are many ‘lat ering jadications, a geed will spring up from the blood of Cor- ral under whose shade the conflicting portions of Nicara- gua will combine (at least temporarily) to avert a coming davger. ‘Tink you that a people who in sight ef the American soldiéry could bathe their handkerchiets in Corral’s blood, “yea, beg a bair of him for memery,” can ever forget or forgive his death? Never, never. The son, of the Death of Corral is the only one upon which all parties now unite. You hear it scarce audinly sung by the market women, as they vend their ovanges and pineapples upon the Plaza. You hear it ‘loudly and tauntingly sung by the boys as they wend thelr way each morping to school, and as in the evening the re- turn from the lake they keep time with ther steps to its slow and mournful measure. Walk for one moment through the strets of Grana. da towards the Falteba courch—you will see all those stately buildings deserted, which bear upon their highly sculptured fronts the indication of opulence and happiness within, ‘The death of Corral has made three thousand bappy homes deserted. If Wilham Wal- ker’s object was to \utimidate, he has most up/ortu- nately for himself, most happily succeeded. In San Sal vador, in Honduras, in Guatemala, under the deep shy dow of the cross, and among the wild hitis of Chontalos, you will now find the self bavished emigrants of Nicara gua, but they are not inactive. Their wealth, energies and’ lives they bave solemnly devoted to his extermi- nation.

To attain that exalted ‘ition there was no danger which he would not freely dare. The evening before the batt!» of Virgin Bay, he received despatches from Honduras, informing him of his election as Presi- dent. The goal was ga’ned, and his position materially red. To attain the presidency he would lose anything, bu having gained it, his fife, in a political sense, became more valuable, and his Cate abated in proportion. The consequence was that at the battle of Virgin Bay, when everything was won, bis horse received a wound, the President turned and tied, and thus gave up a battle which was essentially won.
