It afterwards became known that the Fashion continued on her course to the mouth of the river Colorado, (the south- ern outlet of the San Juan into the sea,) and there detach. ed about fifig: men and officers well armed, in boats, who proceeded wp that branch of the San Juan. Upon their debarkation the Fashion returned, as stated, to the harbor of San Juan, and landed the residue of the force on board of her, with various provisions, stores and munitions of war ,at Punta Arenas. ‘ Information of these Lae grey being communicated to Captain Paulding, on board the United States ship Wabash, then lying at Aspinwall, in New Granada, that officer at ‘once proceeded with his ehip toSan Juan, where he ar- rived on the 6th of December. He found Walker with his party in camp at the place where he landed. Having dis. played a large naval and military force ready for ac- tion, and sufficient to overcome any resistance that could be offered, Walker and those with him gave up their arms and surrendered to Captain Paulding on the 8th of December. It is just to this officer that the reasons assigned by him for his conduct in this regard, and his views of the cir- cumstances attending it, should be stated in his own lan- guage by the following extracts from his official reporta to the Navy Department:— Frac Smir Wanasn, orr 84x Juan pet Nonrr, f1n—Tarrived here on the Uh instae’ nnd ou thé Gah. with forge frees the squedron thet sould tot be rtdated by General Walker, demanded the surrender of his armsand the em- barkation of himself and followers from Point Arenas, ‘The officers and men of his organization, together with auch sail this I shall direct Captain instructio: ns.

The juriadiction is clear, and the mandate is, to prevent the expedition being “carried on’’—a mandate only to be obeyed by arresting the ship, with those on board, and bringing her back to answer the violated laws.
