All the Indians won fell buck aa the men advanced on them. A boy about 18 year of age by tho name of R..Uadia, deserves great credit, aa he advanced in among tha first, and was perfectly cool and cam posed.

The Indiana appeared to hare plenty of ammunition. There appeared to be from forty to filly warriors. Th trail did uut look aa if there were more fharetweuty.

A thorough search was made f tho vessel, but no guns or ammunition were found on board. After two day's detention she was allowed lo proceed on her voyage. It is by no means certain that the pas sengers of the Northern Light were liable to arrest, or that the Government can be justified in detaining the ship on the pre tence of there being t design to invade, or even to Colonize, Nicaragua, Move Tmubte lu tUwas.

The news by thia mail comprises seve ral features of interest. Kara ha. fallen by famine, and Gen. Williams and the garrison are in the hands of the Russian. On Nov. 14, Gen. Mouravieffsummoned the garrison lo aurrender. Gen, Williams held Council of War on the loth, and after the Council, the carrison sent a flag of truce, asking ten days' suspension of hostilities and permission to send a courier to Erzeroum. Gen. Mouravieff offered to grant an honorable capitulation, and al lowed an English Captain (Thomson) to' go to Erzeroum. Thmsou returned from Erzeroum and reached Kara on the 22d. Gen. Williams then demanded an inter view with Mouravicfffor the 24th. By this time the garrison had no fond, except some horseflesh for the sick in the lioxpiials. Here the narrative breaks off and we have no details of the surrender. Private accounts without dates, (rs:her doubtful,) say that OutarPuoha had driven in the Russians and taken possession ofj Khnni, five leagues from ICutais, and -was preparing to uitack the latter city, which was garris'inrd by tnu thousand Russians, Miiiiravicffhnd dttniled a part of tie force to oppose.
