mouth Of the Rio Grande Aug. IL, details the
following outrages committed by Texan robbef,

and the Rio Grande and after various murders
and other outrages, they de manded contribu-
ton Of large sum Of money, threatening in the
alternative, the total destruction ofthe town and

vicinity Of Sabinus.
These desperadoes are well organized, well
mounted, and well armed with the formidable

American gentleman Just arrived from Monte
rev. All the upper towns are represented as IN
a state Of alarm anu preparation for defence.
