Advices received here from Mexico, via, New
Orleans, report that 5,000 French attacked
Cortinas at Matamoras on the Gth inst. During the
engagement the Confederates on the Rio Grande,
under Colonel Forde, espoused the cause of the
French and attacked Cortina'. The Federal forces
stationed at Brazos de Santiago then attacked and
drove Fordo off. After the engagement Cortinas
crossed the river and occupied Brownsville, Texas,
driving the Confederates out. Cortinas hoisted
the Federal flag at Brownsville, declared himself
an American citizen, and offered the services of
his troops to the Federal government. The truth
of the news is doubted in New Orleans.
