Walker's Plans in Central America.—A plan (says an exchange) has already been started for the revival of the old Central American confederation, which is likely to be successful. Honduras and San Salvador have, on the invitation of General Walker, sent commissioners to Nicaragua inviting propositions to that effect, and Walker has accepted them. This invitation is to be extended to Costa Rica and Guatemala, and, unless they accept it, the forces of the three other combined States, it is said, will be used to compel them. It is to be regarded as an act of hostility if they refuse. Walker's plans already extend to all Central America.
