We learn from Nicaragua that Costa Rica and other States lately allied with her are about to take possession of Nicaragua as a conquered country and partition it among themselves. The Costa Ricans claim the lion's share. They not only claim the river San Juan, but the whole line of transit by way of the lake. The other States will not assent to this, and will resist the pretension by force. Another civil war, involving all these turbulent little States, is on the eve of commencement. There is a Walker party in Nicaragua, and they will call upon Walker to return, even before he is quite ready for another campaign. Upon his return he will probably be at the head of an alliance of all the States against Costa Rica.
