Walker will long be able" til to maintain his usurped dominion. Pri- N vale letter# state that his money and credit d.i are both exhausted; tliat privation, disease, ex and want are fast thinning his ranks; that those who havo allowed themselves to be N du[>ed by his representations and promises, nc and who have quitted their homes and he honest callings hoping to acquire fame and fortune under his standard, are fast discov* ering their error, and would gladly escaj>e 'n i from thoir thraldom. The letters further en ! assert that impatience of the despotic rulo 8,1 , of Walker and his accomplice, Iiivaa, it not 'n j confined to Nicaragua, hut is very gene- d< i rally felt by the Governments and inhabi, tnnts of tho bordering Slates. The recent ! decree relative to the Transit Company and 1,11 tho seizure of their property is stated to be 8" : a desperate attempt on trie part of Walker Gc ' to obtain money to maintain himself. That ha 1 is hut one of a series of lawless contrivances Gv to which he is reduced to save himself fth from destitution, to check the desertion aud Wl ' calm the daily increasing discontent aud Sr disgust of his associates, and thus avert or 801 postpone the ruin with which he is threat- U1! j ened. However he may succeed for a time lo i iu warding oil" the fittid blow, there is good ex reason to Itelicve that it cannot be longde- su laved, and thus his tlight or death inav he , M looked for within a short porii>d. There is no doubt that a league has been formed n:l by sever al of the States of Central America :n< . to overthrow Walker and his followers and ^ re-establish tho furtnor Government iu Nij enragua.
