Interesting Account of the Second Escape of the French Political Deportes from the Inland of Cayenne, as Related by One of the Escaped Prisoners. Abandoned upon the desolate rook of the island of Cayenne, called by the French the Devil's Isle, destined ‘bere to remain till death, far from ali that is dearest to the heart of man—our familles—we often meditated plans Of ‘scape; but al! there plang were of difficult execution, for there was no wood to be got on the island ut for batld ing a boat. All the trees of the island had been cut down the year before, for severa! purposes, and also for that «f constructing a large boat, by the prisoners, who at that time bad made am unsuccessful attempt a esoape. One only means of attempting an escape was left to us, and that was the construction of a small raft. Having decided upon doing this each of us set to work. ‘The bark ¢f a kind of acacia which grew upon the island served us instead of hemp to make a quantity o rope « few thousand feet long. We made our rope by means of a wheel, which a wheelbarrow supplied us with. Then we dug up an immense root of an enor- mous tree, and squared it off with « little hatchet. Thon we sawed it up with a small joiner’: This timber, with some = staves taken off our sban- ties, served us for making several casks. A few bars of iron, which we took from some untnhabit od shanties, supplied us the means of making the frame ofatelm. For sails we made use of our shirts, panta- loons and blouses. Of course we concealed our opera- tions and our work aa it progressed with the utmost caro from the overseer, who came every mornitg to bring rome couvicts upos the iaiand whose business It wasto eather erass. When we had made the cara, we put to- gether the several materiaia we had prepared, over which we constructed a sort of deck, made of planks peiled and tied together with ropes. We also made a band-rall, 80 as not to be swept away by the waves, and to rest our oars upon, When we bad finished our raft and launched it, we com. pleted the work by placing the casks underneath and fixing up the sail. Ovr proviriona, consisting of bread ‘and water, were also put ubon the raft. Then, at last, iter all was prepared, at eight o'clock at nigbt, in order Bot to be discovered by the governing powers who resi- det ciore by on the Island Royale, we set sail from the desorate rock on which we had so long been held in cruel bondage. There ware seven of us in all, and we rowed away, plying our oars diligently and directing our course towarde the neighboring coast of Guyana, a Dutch settle- ment, The pight was fine and favored our undertaking. When day broke we could see nothiag of the promised land of deliverance to which wo had directed our bark. We were in the Gulf of Sinamaric, where the soa 1s always in motion, and our casks began to fill with water. ‘This obliged us to take them up one by one and repair them, This wase difficult job, and attended with considerable danger, inasmuch es the additional weight of the cask joined to that of us seven, caueed the rafi tosink several feet deeper in the water. However, as soon as wi ptied the cask of tne sea water which had got in it, the rat would rise agaia ut of the water to its former condition. After the cask ‘was mended, it was s difficult job to replace it. One of us waa obliged to plunge inio the sea in order to se cure it by the ropes in its proper situation, While our comrade wastbus at work in the midst of the soa, we who were on tbe raft held bim fast by a rope tied round bia waist. This precaution was necessary to prevent bis be! away by the waves while mz the cask with the rope. difficult work to pertorm day and night al! we ume wi re On Our prasage on the rah.

For two days ands half we walked with naked fect among brushwood, and among and over tronkn of trees. We across several creeks, and waded for about two miles and a quarter in the sea, with the water up to our necks; this we did to relievo ourselves from the in- tolerab’e fatigue and beat. All that we got ot food on our road wat litle honey, which we found ina honey- comb in the hollow of s tree—only @ few ounces—and fome small birds’ eggs We oniy once got © taste of fresh water during all these hey we were obliged to drink wine and sea water. Daring this time of our journeying, we met with no trace of men or habitations. Of other living creatures, we saw oalefly crabs.

We were pow desticute of almost every thing. But necessity is the joer of industry and invention. Twenty of us set to work on one side and fourteen on another to construct two rafts. ‘These were to be twenty-one feet by eight fect. We con- strvcted the rafts with various pieca: of wood picked up here and there on the isiand. end with some of the word work of a shanty which we demolished tor the parpose. ‘We made two frames for the rafts and covered the: ub fagow ard branches of the castor of! tree, and with corn- ttwuike.

Connection of Messrs. Vanderbilt, White, Gar<- son, Morgan, Randolph, George Law, Soule and Goicouria with the Movement. Interesting and Important Bistorieal Details, &., &e., &. The secret history of the Walker expedition te Nicaragua, and of the career of the filibusters there, has not yet been written. The generaily accepted version of that invasion is, that Walker was invited by the chiefs of the revolution, im 1854, to come to their aid with all the force be could muster; that he accepted the ia- vitation, went there, and after Some defeats aad misfortunes finally set himself up as military dicta- tor of the republic. Toa certain extent that view is correct. Our object, however,’on the present oc- casion, is to show that the idea of inviting Walker and his band was not an original one with the revo- lutionary or democratic party im Nicragua; that it crigivated with the principal mamagers and agenta of tbe Nicaragua Transit Company in New York and San Frenciseo; that money, arms ammunition and transportation were furnished him by that company, and that the present imbroglio, in which Messrs. Walker, Goicouria, Vanderbilt, Garrison, Morgan, Randolph, Heiss and George Law, are mixed up, has arisen from ae curious a combination of schem- ing, intrieuing and cheating all round the board, ee sny Richelieu, Talleyrand or Beaumarchais has ever been engaged in. NICARAGUA IN 1854-5. To understand the matter correctly it will be ne- cessary to go back some two years,and take aglanee at the then condition of Nicaragua. Its President, in 1854, was Don Fruto Chamorro. Since the ea- tabliehment of the independence of the Central American States, in 1821, there has been, in all of them, save Costa Rica—and particularly in Nicara- gua—an unceasing struggle going on between the conservative and democratic parties, or at least be- tween parties adopting those titles. Chamorro was the President and representative of the conservative party in Nicaragua. In the spring of 1854 a revole- tion was organized against his government. Ite principal leaders were Don Francisco Castillon— formerly Cabinet Minister—and General Maximo Jerez, who assumed military command of the insur- gents. In May, 1654, a battle was fought, the results of which were the defeat of Chamorro and his army, and the ocenpation by the revolutioniste of the city of Leon, a town next in importance to and the rival of Granada, the capital. Thenceforth there were two governments in the republic—Chamorro, the actual de jure President, governed in Granada; and Castillon, who assumed the title aud duties of Pre- visional President, governed in Leon. For some ten or twelve months this state of things continued. At length the Chamorristws—as the troops whe supported the President were eulled—were besieged in Granada. Chamorro defended the piace with much bravery for several months, He died on 12th March, 1855, and the Presidency passed into the hanés of Don Jose Maria Estrada. The neighboring States made some efforts to effect a compromise be- tween the contending factions, but without success. San Saivador proposea through her Commissioner a plan ef settlement. This was to deciare on both sides a general obiivion of the past and a con.plete ampesty; that the mutual expenses of the war should be charged as a debt to the State; that Estrada should be recognized as President for the space of one year, after which a Constituent Assembly should be convoked; and thst Castillon should be provided with a diplomatic mission in Europe. This prope- sition, favorable as it was to all sides, fell through, and the internecine strife continued. WALKER INVITED TO NICARAGUA. Tt was in this condition of things that Castillon was induced to propose to Col. William Walker te come to the aid of the revolutionary or democratic party of Nicaragua. Walker had given evidence om a former occasion of his readiness to embark in such an enterpriee. He had in 1854 organized an expe- dition into Sonora, and declared himeelf President of Lower California. He did not, however, long ea- joy this self-created distivetion, but managed to make his way back, with six of his followers, to Sam Francisco, where he was arrested for violation of the neutrality laws, put on his trial, and acquitted. Om this trial he defended himself—for to his principal role of filibuster, Walker adds the minor rives of law- yer, physician, journalist and linguist. By thie fiasco of his he acquired much celebrity, and thas recommended himself to the attention of Castillon, Salazar, and other revolutionary leaders. A certain Mr. Byron Cole, a friend of Walker's, and who had been prospecting Honduras and Nicaragua as the agent of a mining and trading company, was em- ployed to treat with Walker. The bargain was easily concluded. Walker received his commission as a General in the Nicaraguan army, and grant of 58,000 acres of land; and on the 5th of May he set sail from San Francisco, in the brig Vesta, with @ party of fifty-six men who had been with him ia Sonora, and included several who had served in the war against Mexico, and in the filibustering expedi- tion against the island of Cuba. REAL ORIGIN OF WALKERS INVITATION. As we bave intimated, the idea of inviting Walker and his party to aid in the defeat of the Chomorriste party of Nicaragua did not originate with Castillon or Salazar. It was a brilliant idea of the managers and principal agents of the Transit Company. The incessant state of revolution in which Nicaragua found herself was highly injarious to the interests of the Company. Its property was being conatantly subject to taxation, and its treasury to hauls for the benefit of one or the other of the contending fac- tions. Besides, the prosperity of the country om which the profits of the Company were more or lesa dependent, was impeded and prevented by these san- guinary stroggles. And so, between Morgan and Jo. White in New York, and Garrison, the agent of Company, in San Francisco, the scheme was con. cocted of getting up an independent filibustering foray, seizing upon the Nicaragua route and the territory within which it is embraced, and thereby avoiding in fatare the system of extortion and in- convenience to which they had been subjected. The political condition of Nicaragua afforded them at the same time a motive for and a means of accom pliehing this movement. Castillon was, by them or their agente, induced to make to Walker the propo- sition to which we have referred and thas was laid the foundation of that movement which has anniht- lated Nicaraguan nationality, and which now em- braces within its scope the organization of a grand federal republic, to be composed of all the States of Central America, Mexico and such of the Southera States as desire secession from this Union.
