OO8TA RICAN REJOICINGS. PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT MORA. Ben, Henningsen’s Official Report of the Fili- buster Campaign in Niearagua. ane Nicaragua Not to be Divided. aan Reception of the Pilibusters in New York &., ae, 0. By the arrival of the Mlinois we have received dates ‘wom Guatemala to Apri} 20, Oajatapique (San Salvador) to 24, Laon (Nicaragua) 5th, San Juan dol Sur Sth, and San Jere Kh of May. The news is highly interesting and im- portant. @ salute of ove hundred guns announced to the people of San Jone, at one o'clock on the 7th of May, the surren- ter of the filibusters; the ringing of the belle, music and artes of rejoicing manifested the enthusiasm of the people or tho victors and for the re-establishment of peace. The towns and villages wero illuminated during the night; everywhere there were music, fireworks, promenades, balis and merry reunions, and the national flag waving over all houses. Adput the 4th of April, says the Cronica, a outenant from Walker's forces surrendered himself to General Mora wadenerter. The General received him with great kind- meee, whereupon the lieutenant, drawing a revolver, said, “General, this pistol was given to me by Walker, and he mereover promised mo ten thousand dollars if I retook one ef the steamers, in company with some others, who pre- dend to be deserters; and assassinate you and General anes. Your generosity has disarmed me, and induces me to wake this confession,’” Genera) Mora, with his division of the army, was ex- pected at San Joee on the 13th. Great preparations were being made to give him an enthusiastic reception, The Cronica gives all due credit to Oapt. Davis for hie bamane interference to save the lives of Walker and his Bollowers, and also speaks in the highest terms of his no- ‘bie conduct. ‘The Boletin Oficial of Leon, of April 15, states that ‘when the filibuster party left the Castillo fort on the 5th, ‘whhout attacking it, they left « paper (fastencd toa treo whh a bayonet) containing the following words:— “4 James Bowie and E. J. Calhoun present their compli. ments to the Commander of Fort Castillo, Good bye, friends. Warriors remain in peaco—the war is over.”’ OUR SAN JUAN CORRESPONDENCE. WALKER’?

Deser- fon was decimating both camps. As regards Walker, {t was four mouths and a half ince he bad occupied Rivas, @oring which time he had received 20 succors from the Atlantic States, and only 190 men from California. It was ever three months since the allies had occupied San Jorge wih the intention of attacking Rivas, which they invested by forming round it four strongly intrenched camps, from which they opened fire on the town with two twenty four pounders on the 22d March. During this period the allion Drought into the feld between 6,000 and 7,000 men. Nine ections of more or less importance had been fought, in which Gen, Walker lost a little over three bun ired killed gn wounded; but the desertions, which had increased te twenty a day, exoceded four hundred, About one month previously, he bad commenced #laughtering bis Dorses and moles, Abd Continued to hold Rivas ip aaticipa- tion of one of four probable events, viz:—The arrival of Lockridge, the arrival of reinforcements from California, the breaking op of the enemy’s camp, and te rising of his friends in the north of the State of Nicaragua, who were waiting till the allies were sufficiently weakened, and till em American force appeared to back them.
