Heiss, in the Henacp of @o-day, canuot bo suffered to pass without a reply, Mr. Wiliam Walker, now President of Nicaragua, has done mean act of gross injustice, in a discourteous and (ruta! manner, and bis underlings here have the folly Q@nd imsolonce to charge me with treachery to the cause of Nicaragua. My reply is brief, and I think will be watisfactory—at least as far as my personal honor ts con- cerned, and that is all tbat I now care toprotect. I make ‘Shs statement from no mean motives of revengs, but Simply end solely to guard my reputation from an un- morited accusation. It is wel! known that I have been for years, heart and soul, fe and fortune, devoted to the cause of Cuban an- mexation to the United States. I may be called a filibus- fer, and base mofives may be applied to me. I care no- Qbing about tt. Only those who know as I do the atrocities (OC Spanish colonial government, only those who foe! aa I do the oapabifities of the Island of Cuba under a free and G00d government, like that of the Union, can rightly Judge of my conduct or my motives, 1 have no defence @n this bead to make. My heart, my blood, my property ‘Bre ail vowed to the cause of Cuba, Nicaragea was with me @ secondary object—a more btepping stone to Cubs. Of course I rejoiced to sova beau- ‘fful coustry rescued [rom a miserable, imbecile govern- ‘ment, and as long as I considered Mr. William Walker an ovest ano sagacious man, I was not less rojotced to see the power tu his bands. But my object first and last ‘was Cuba, and with this view I sent an ageut in the win ber of 1855 and 56, to Nicaragua, and he there, on the Lith of January, 1856, concluded the following treaty with Mr, Walker, binding him as soon as the government Nicaragua was established, to devote himeelf to tho emancipation of Cuba, This is the convention entered [ato betweer us:— JONTRACT. o General William Walker, Commander-in-Chief of the (army of Nioaragua, is willing to form the followin; = and of “th \ ourthiy.— Capt, F.

Whatever language Mr. Waiker may now choose to employ, be bas heretofore been only glad to acknow- Jedge tbe value and extent of my services. But my views in entering into the operations of Walker are to be found ta the above contract, in the obligations Ghat it imposes on him, and in the aid I expected to derive “from bim Iremataed in Nicaragua till the @ist of June, 1856, ‘when I left there and came to this country, where | ar- ‘tived on the 15th July at New Orleans, It was then hough) that I could be usofal as Minister to England; but there was some difficulty in the Rivas Cabinet, and in August | received a letter from Walkor, dated the 26th of Juty, whieu ie of no consequence, except that in It be de- @ired me to walt till I received my credentials, At length, im tbe laiter part of August, I received from Mr. Walker By credentials, accompanied by the following lotter:— GEN.

New Yor, Nov. 22, 1859. My attention has been called to your paper of thia morning, containing a letter of Major Hiess, in which is found the following statement:—‘ In May or June last Mr, C. Vanaerbilt informed me, in his office, No, 4 Bowling Green, that General Goicouria was his agent,” &. I deem it to be my duty to ail porsons concerned to say, ‘that in this matter Mr. Hiess bas greatly misunderstood me. I never intended to say to Mr. Hiees that General Goicouria was my agent, or the agent of the Accessory ‘Transit Company; nor did General Goicour ia sustain that position either to myself or to the company. It is, thero- fore, impossible that Isbould have made the statement which Mr. Hiess bas attribated to me. I much eed that Mr. Hiess should have drawn an inference of that de- scription from anything that! may bave said in my in- terview with him, and in justice to General Goicouria I hasten .o make this explanation, C.
