Arrival of the Fashion at Aspinwall—Description of the Landing at Greytown—T he Eapedition up the Colorado— Condition of the Filituaters—Walker’s Reinforcements to be Intercepted—Threatened Arrest of an Officer of the Saratoga by Walker, dc. The steamer Fashion, which took out Walker's expedi- tion from Mobile, arrived in this harbor about 1 o'clock A. M. on Wednesday, Dec. 2,frem Greytown. She was immediately preceded by the British royal mail steamship Dee, also from Greytown. They both left Greytown on the morning of the first. From the officers of the Dee and passengers from Greytown, on the Fashion,I gather the following particulars of the landing of Walker and his party of Miibusters:— ‘The Fashion appeared off the harbor of Greytown on the ‘24th of November. She made no attempt to enter, but kept on her way down the coast. On arriving at the meuth of the Colorado, about twenty miles from Grey- town, she came to and landed forty-five of the filibusters, ‘The next day she appeared again off Greyiown, and under full head of steam ran into the harbor, closo by— uncer the very guns of the United States sloop-of- war Saratoga—laid alongside an old bulk, near the warehouse, and before the guns of the Saratoga were or could be manned and brought to bear the filibusters, with Walker at the head, had all scrambled over the side of the hulk and from thence to dry land. One hundred and forty-one, all told, landed on the bulk, on the point oppo- site Greytown, making one hundred and eighty-six in all, They are all well armed with Minne rities. ‘The party of forty-five landed at the mouth of the Colo- rado is commanded by Cul. Frank Anderson, who was ‘one of the original “ fifty-six” who went from California with Walker, on bis first invasion of Nicaragua, Upon landing the party immediately proceeded up the Colorado to its junction with the San Juan, twenty miles from Greytown, and took possession of Leap’s Island, a small island in the river, owned and occupied by a man of the same name, a British eubject. At this point the party was again divided. Twenty of the men were sent five miles further up the river, and stationed themse! vos At a point calleu Fort Anderson, on the ern of Senor Pataca, a Spanish subject, on the Conta side. Waiker, with his 141 men, was on the Point, and wag heard to Say that he would make no attempt to advance in the interior until he bad additions to his party. A steamer from Savannah anda brig from Galveston wore daily expected with other filibusters. Walker landed on the Point 60 barrels pork,90 barrels beef, 90 barrels flour, 2 casks sugar,2 @ask rice, 8 sacks coffeo and 2 boxes ammunition—endbgh to last only a few works. ‘The United States frigate Wabash, Commodore Pau!d ing’s flagship, left this port at 2 o'clock yesterday for Greytown. Tithe reinforcements expected do not arrive before the Wabash reachos Graytown they will be inter- cepted—they will never land, Walker's officers are Col. Bruno, Col. Swingle, Capt. Fayseoux and Col. Hough. Dr. Kellum is at the head of the modical staff. Public opinion and feeling, native and foreign, at Groy- town, as well as here, is strong against Walker. The general impression is ‘that he will be starved out in six weeks. Immediately on landing his mon Walker took possession of the warehouse of the “Transit. Com , and began to appropiate lumber, They were ordered off by Capt, Ointard, of the Sarutoge, and they then took possession of some native huts. Lieut, Cilley attempted to iand on the Point with two men, on &@ gunning excursion. He was ordered off by Waiker.

Arrival of the Fashion at Aspinwall—A British Caplain’s Account of Walker's Landing—What is Walker going to do? Yesterday afternoon the news reached here from Aspinwall that Walker with a number of his men had Janded at San Juan del Norte. Thia news was brought to Aspinwall by the Royal West India mail steamer Deo Capt. Walcott, which happened to be lying in San Juan harbor at the time, and was chartered to bring down despatches to Commodore Paulding, of the Wabash, and the captain of her Britannic Majesty’s ship Brunswick which latter vessel arrived in Aspinwall on the samo day 8d, from a cruise. Shortly after tho arrival of the Dee the steamer Fashion algo reached Aspinwall, but what her object was in coming there is not known. According to the accountsfurnished by the captain of the Dee, the Fashion appeared off San Juan del Norte oa the 26th, but without entering the port, ran down to the mouth of the Colorado (one of the mouths of (ue San Juan river), and there landed fifty men, and afterwards she returned to San Juan dol Norte, where Walker and tho rest of his mon, 150 in number, landed at Punta Arenas, on the Tran- sit Company's property, before the boats of the Saratoga had time to prevent them. Capt. Chitard, of the Saratoga, immediately ordered Walker off the compuny’s property, and declared that be would allow no depredations to be committed either there or in San Juan del Norte. The Fashion’s papers were found all in order, and Capt. Chit- ard did not tvel justified in detaining her. This is ali that is positively known as to the circum- stance, buta hundred rumors are in circulation, which have not even the shadow of foundation. The men landed at the mouth of the Colorado were fur- nished with boats by the Fashion for the purpose of as- cending the river, but how Walker is to get up it is hard tosay. To attempt the ascent in native boata wonld be a great risk; and if there is one of the river steamers at San Juan, which is improbable, it is to be presumed that Capt. Chitard will pot permit it to be taken. Fashion, it is said, has been detained by Commo- dore Paulding, probably because she had no clearance from San Juan. What course Commodore Paulding aud the cay of the Brunswick have decided upon—whether they intend to act tly or singly, 1 have not ascer- tained, and presume they will not make publicly known their line of action. What Waiker can hope to do with onc hundred and fifty or two hundred men, it is difficult to imagine, and if ho atempts to ascend the river with that smail force, there is no reason why he'should not be cut off at Castillo, Viejo, or San Carlos, unless there is treachery in the Central American camp, which is not improbable; but if Colonel Cauty, who had’at last accounts the lake steamers, is true to hie party, if Fort San Carlos is now io his hands, he — to be able to put a stop to the progress of the fili- yusters. By last accounts from Costa Rica, Cauty was besieging San Carlos, and making war on the Nicaraguans on the lake. If the quarrel between Nicara- gua and Costa Rica does not prevent unity of action, Walker's attempt to reach his former seat of government appears to be & desperate case. Once in Nicaragua, there is doubtless a party there who would join bim; ana’ with the reinforcements ho expects from the Kastern States and Califorvia he would be able to make # protracted resistance. But unless the river is open to him to receive constant reinforcements of troops and munitions of war, Lis chance of success appears as bad as before. ‘The steamer Columbus, from Central American ports, is due here on the 8th, and she will probably bring some further news, a information of Walker's landing ought to have reached San José de Costa Rica by that time Some persons here, and many of the Central American citizens, believe that Walker's foray is against Costa Rica, and pot &t present to Nicaragua; but if itis, be bas made ® great mistake if he thinks that with the force he has got he can ever reach San José, the capital. Of the population of Costa Rica; which is estimated at 150,000, at least two thirds live on the high plains within a radius of 2+ miles from San Jose,and to reach that place he would have to pass through forest and swamp, over mountains and through defies which could be defended by one hundred men against a thousand. The Costa Ricans fight well, aui oa their own soil would be desperate oppovents to meet. Their army is 6,000 strovg, and probably 6,000 more could be brought into the eld iu case of emergency. Should any further news transpire I shall let you know ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Immediately on the arrival of the Star of the West at this port, yesterday morning, we despatched one of our reporters in quest of further intelligence concerning Gen. Walker's expedition. Neither the officers of that vessel nor any of the through passengers, however, appeared to be at all posted with respect to the precise condition of Walker or his men, and the affairs in Nicaragua at the ime the vessel left Aspinwall, further than that they ail agree in saying that a United States vessel (provably the Wabash) had left that place a day or two before the sail- ing of the Star of the West, for Grey town, for the purpose of trying to suppress the anticipated action of Walker's army. They also report that a British steam vessel of war, laying at Aspinwall (name not known), was gotting up steam late in the evening on which the Star of the West left that place (the 4th), for the purpose of also pro- ceeding to Greytown and the Cowrado river, to intercept Waiker’s movements. The passengers aleo add that the report current at Aspinwall when they loft that place was, that the Fashion had come iu there for the purpose of taking in coal, changing commander and owners, and pro ceeding to some port not known, in order to avoid being seized, as it was rumored there ‘that she was to be, and detained at that place by the proper authorities until the affair could undergo an investigation.

COSTA RICA AND NICARAGUA, [Fronfthe Panama Star and Herald, Nov. *) ‘When Costa Rica took up arms last year against Walker ‘and his filibustering party in Nicaragua, she declared io ber proclamations tnat she came to the rescue of her sis- ter State, not to make war on her or on her people. With ‘an energy remarkable fer the people, and the country from which K sprung, and in the face of diffleulties and miverse circumstances which it was infpowmbre te foresee and againet which it was diffleuit to provide, she strug! bravery on; and the surrender of Walker at Rivas saw the object achieved for which she undertook the war. ‘True, that to foreigners most of her successes are duc. Spencer led the party that took the river bonts, and thereby cut off Walker's resources, Cauty "held the fort that checked the advance of ay Fes who were marching to Walker's relief, Watson hun dreds to desert the ranks, and thereby reduced Walker's force, ao ag to render it weeless in the Held, and Captain Nuvis, by his interference, induced Walker's force ai Fi- vas to surrender, so that on the first of May, of this year, the object for which Costa Rica took up arms wa fcniey ed, and the filibuster influence was exterminate’ in Vices ragua, Equally true is it that with characteristic u¢ra tude their services have boen ignored by Eaptain tienot | President Mora, whose vaunting proclamations allthe ercdit to his brave countrymen, and whose jentia message does not even coutain one word of acknowledg- ment to these whose action was mainly iniucement in bringing the war to @ successful termination. For our relives, and in the name of those who acted #0 “important @ part in the Central American war, fe can very well afford t ovarlook the injus- tice of Captain General President Mora aod his countrymen in thie matter, and ailow them to take to themselves all the honor Col ei of the success ful termination of the campaign, if we had no other canse of complaint against Couta ica, we should be con tent to remain silent on this subject; but wien we find her excited by triumph and puffed up by success, acting to. warde Nicaragua in exactly the same manner as did ‘Walker and his party, we are forced to the conclusion that, stimulated by the example of Walker, or taking ad vantage of the weakness of her neighbor, she is now on- gaged in a cause quite ax worthy of the name of ‘filious- teriem’’ as ever war that he tok up arms to suppress. Without a shadow of right Costa Rica has invaded the soil of her sister State, blockaded her fort at the entrance to the lake, and with the help of the steamers captured on the river, holds or attempts to hold the lake, and dictate terms at the cannon’s mouth to Ni Costa Rica claims, and we believe with justice, certain of a territory and the south side of the Juan river a6 within her jurisdiction, though the matter has jong been in dispute between the two States, After the suppression of the filibusters Costa Rica, in sion of the river, and with a military force still Nicaragua, urged —_ her claims to this bout line, and sup- posing she had no other claim, the services rendered to Nicaragua were sufficient to induce that governmam® to poe tag ane demand, * i oe we fa itdid, ag 8 in the proclamation Nicaragua governmen’ of October 19, in which it sets forth Shae Costa Rica, on the 6th of August last, refused the offer made by Nicaragua of the province of Guanacata and the right bank of the river San Juan, from a point two miles below Caetillo Viejo to Point Castilla. ” After this concession, which is al! Costa Rica has a right to ask, we find Col. Cauty, by order of the Costa Itcaa goverbment, attempting to get poem of Fort San Car- Jos, a fortress situated on the ares side of the river, to which Costa Rica never had any c! |, and the posses. sion of which is the key to the and the interior of Nicari If the pretext set forth of aha omney the fort as a point of defence inst further filibuster ionr was @ true one, Conta by fortifying herself r own soi! at the Castilla Rapids could take a better and & stronger position against apy invading force; but it is clear from (he course she pursues that her designs are directed more against Nicaraguan independence than fili- voi ee knowledge that Walker is organizing a cert wiedge that er another expedition, the avowed object of which is an in- vasion of her goil, with the experience of former times which should show her both the possibility and the proba- bility of this Hlibuster movement being carried into of- fect, we should think that her policy, her interest, her fooling of self-preservation would have led her to protect ene a. at Lege or beh yo confine herself to act = e defensive in regard to Ni she this course, she would have been entitled to and dave re- coived the sympathy of the whale world, but in her inva- sion of Nicaragua she not only giver reason to sus) her motives and disapprove of ber policy, but she lays hersolf open to become an easy prey to Waikerand his {iltbusters, whereas, by acting only on the defensive, she might have made a successful stand against apy invading foe. MORE FILIBUSTERS OFF FOR NICARAGUA. [From the Galveston News, Dec. 3.} Col. Waters, of the Nicaragua army, leaves on the steamsbip Mexico to-day for Nicaragua, via New Orleans and Mobile. He has with bim-a company of about forty emigrants—young men who go to seek fame, fortune and adventure under the banuer of Gen. Walker. ‘The steamship Fashion, which took Gen. Walker to Nica- ragua, is expected to return to Mobile this week. She will continue her trips back and forth during the winter, and in connection with another vessel (the name of which wo are not informed) will constitute the Mobile and San Juan Steamship Line, of which J.

The English Board of Trade returns for October show a continued increase in the value of exports. The figures are £318,838 in excess of October, 1856. An official inquiry, instituted at Manchoster, shows that ‘out of 87 cotton mills in that city, employing 24,294 work- people, only 30 mills, employing 10,273 persons, were in full work. Of the remainder, 26 mills and 8,439 people were working short time, and 12 mills, with 6,582 hands, wore totally unemployed. Of the 15 silk mills in the city none were fully employed, and two of them had ceased to run, In the surrounding districts the returns were to the like effect. A deputation had waited on Lord Clarendon and pre- sented him with @ memorial from the British and Foreign Anti Slavery Society against the immigration slave trade now being carried on by the French from the west coast of Africa, and praying for government interference to stop the traffic. Lord Clarendon stated that the government was in pos- seasion of the fullest information on the subject of this “ new system” of obtaining labor—one he did not hesitate to designate as the slave trade unmitigated and undiajwised. The whole question, however, bad been submitted to the consideration of the French government, which ho be- lieved had not foreseen that the result of attempts to ob- tain immigrants from Africa would be the revival of the slave trade; and he felt sure nothing was farther from the wishes or the thought of the Emperor of the Freach than to re-open this execrated traffic, in opposition to the policy of the leading civilized Powers, and to the well known ua- tiona) sentiment of England. Tho evils could scarcely be exaggerated that must arise from the checking of the legitimate commerce, which in many parts of the African coast had totally superseded the trade in slaves, and in others was rapidly extinguish ing it. This was a point which bore intimately on the commercial interests of this country, and to the impor- tance of which the government was fully alive. putation would be encouraged to hear that the at the French agent to obtain immigrants had boen eo vn-u¢ cessful that he (Lord Clarendon) thought he might venture tosay, even on this account, the speculation would be abandoned, at least for the present, and no effert should be spared by tho government to prevent tho renewal of a traffic between which and the slave trade there was no appreciable difference. He assured the deputation of his cordial sympathy with the objects of the Anti-Slavery So. ciety, and his concurrence in the sentiments set forth in the memorial. In Madrid it was reported that the government had sent orders to Gen.
