Tho sfoop-of war Cyanc arrived at this port yesterday morning from Asp ill wall, bringing fifty-throe of Walker's men who were at tho siego of Rivas. The Cyanc made the passage in twenty-four days.

Not one 1 * 1 /?

Many of them convorsed very intelligently in regard to the state of affairs in the couutry wbore they had met with <iuch disasters, and maintained that Walker's conduct had been much misrepresented. All were earnest in proclaiming their desire to "turn about and go back" if theopportunity should again offer itself. Lieutenant Isaac R. Snyder, of Philadelphia, has been with Walker since last j\ovcmner. ne tnniKs ? aiKCr one ot tnc bravest of soldiers. Walker in battle never Haiti " Go ahead, men !" lie always .said " Come on, men !" and Snyder bad scfci> bim at the bead of his men in the midst of a heavy fire, from which it did not scorn possible that he could como out alive. Snyder says that he was always well treated by Walker, and has no cause to complain of him. He never knew of but two or three . iu which the Commander's cou duct could be considered cruel. One was when ft sergeant who had dcaertod was cap tured and brought back to Walker, who ' ordered him to be shot without a court > martial. The other instance, "Walker gave I orders to a party to go in search of six dc! sorters, and if thoy were found to shoot . them instantly. j hroc or them were cmss covcrcd and shot. Snyder thinks <]!cn. i llcnningscn a "line man, and better versed in military matters than Walker. Thinks r Walker did the best he could for his sobl' iers in regard to food and clothing. The I greatest loss of Walker was his steamers, J the capture of which Snyder attributes to , the agency of Vanderbilt. If it were not r for the loss of the steamers Walker would > be. in possession of the country now. The r Commissary Department he blames for not i storing more provisions at llivas, where, I during tho siege, the men were compelled i to subsist some time upon tho, meat of jack1 aijsos and mules. Snyder is ready to join f Walker again if ho returns to Nicaragua.

I cannot undertake to say what opinions may have been expressed by my honored colleague, or by any other Senators from the South, in reference to the probable condition of Kansas ; though from a general knowledge of their views in regard to that Territory, I should not doubt that any opinions so expressed, would have refercnco to circumstances and contingencies necessarily qualifying them. To avoid misconstruction, however, 1 think it proper to say that r never expressed the opinion thus ascribed tome, because i never entertained it.? The time the law paused, organizing the Territorial Government, there were few with whom T. conversed who did not believe that the future State would take its placowith those recognizing and cherishing the condition of African slavery. There vran nt that time, certainly, every reason to believe why this should bo so, and none why it should not. The State of Missouri, bordering its eastern frontier, was a slave State, holding at that nearly a hundred thousand slaves, and these were chiefly held in the border countics. l lie state ot Arkansas, adjacent to the Territory, on the South, was likewise a slaveholding State. The soil and climate of Kansas were well adapted to those valuable products, chiefly hemp and tobacco, which gave value to slave labor in Missouri. The proximity of its population, with the attractions of now, fertile, and cheap land, 1 believed would lead the slaveholders in Missouri to dilVuse themselves speedily over Kansas, and the prohibitory line of 36:40 being oblitovated, there was no reason why they should not. 1 had no fear of fair competition in such appropriation of the new Territory from any quarter. I n fair competition L did not look to. Whnl may yet be the result as to the condition oi Kansas, notwithstanding the extraordinary and unscrupulous efforts of Northern Abolitionist* to force a population there, L can, not undertake to bay. Nor will I allude in ( this place to the new and uncfepectcd aspect now exhibited of affairs in that Tcr, ritory, toith so much propriety reprehend\ e<l in the columns of the "South." What| ever may be the information of others, 1 certainly am not. sufficiently informed of the ( existing state of thingft in Kansas, to form a clear opinion one way or the other j yet 1 will venture to say this much, that if African slavery he intimately excluded from ' Kansas, it will bo effected by the numerical force of organized mnjc itics, operating 1 i - ? ?: i^oiiiov clio uoviiii luwn v>i?u;ii ^wvui'll clulgmtion ; and will present ft new and rnosi | instructive lesion tothoSout1ie.ru States.

When the (Jonvenlio of Paris was transmitted to Washington, Mr. Maroy, with an amiable candor, declared 1jis intention of considering it with a view to tho interosts of tho United States in tlio contingency of a war with England. Tlio Americans have as much to lose at sea as ourselves, but they have a comparatively insignificant navy. It was therefore natural that they should wish to diminish captures; but they were likely to suffer a disadvantage by allowing ships of war a monopoly ofplunder. Tho Secretary of Stato was perfectly justified in looking to t.be iihcrcsta of his country, although ho used an untenable argument when ho assumed that private enterprise would make up for tho deficient strength of the national marine. It is well known that privateers never fight, but. it cannot be denied that in a war with Kngluiid they might be a formidable weapon in the hands of tho United States. Mr. four articles ot' tho European Convention, but the parties lo tho Treaty of Paris had agreed to make the concession of any part conditional on tho acceptance of tho whole. As an alternative, ho made a bold and comprehensive proposal.

" gretted that England did not at once close with the suggestion. Lord Palmorston intimated in his Manchester speech an inclination to acquiesce in the project, but it was necessai v to consult the Powers which had signed the Treaty of Paris, and it was thought desirable to examine the vaiiou results which might aiise from such a rev olution in Maritime Law.
