LATER FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
The steamship Yacht, Capt. Thompson, ar
rived yesterday, bringing dates from Browns.
vile to the Goth uit., aud from Galveston to be
I'd inst. The Brownsville Flag SAYS tina, the
lawless horde of desperadoes which holds pos
session Of the country above Brownsville, on
| the RIO Grande, are still at work. Two fiat
boats which left Brownsville some time since
| on their return 10 Guerrero, Mexico, have been
| attacked, some of the crew killed, and the
| boats plundered by the same party whose MUIR
uerous acts have been SO often recorded. Two
OF the men who were on the boats had returned
to Brownsville, having made their escape,
and report that while near the rancho Rosario
| they were fred upon and driven from the boats
They report having seen one man killed, but
having succeeded IN escaping soon after the
attack, they are unable to say how many of
their companions were massacred before the
boats were taken. They say that after the
boats were taken possession Of they were con-
veyed to the Mexican bank of the river and
riHed of their contents.
The Rio Bravo says that the party who
| robbed these boats were headed by the noto.
rious Pedro Villareal, who holds commission
from Gen. Avalos. The same paper says these
boats never touched on the Mexican side of the
river during the trip.
The following from the Rio Bravo gives some
insight into the movements Of the mixed bands
OF Indians and Mexicans who have been COM
mitting the recent murders and robberies on
the Rio Grande.
The Acalde of Reynosa, alarmed and ndig-
nant at the acts of Pedro VaIlareal, and willing
to preserve the inhabitants of his Jurisdiction
from reprisals, wrote two official notes 10 Gen.
Avaios, complaining and requesting that Pc
dro Valareal and his Indian Chief with their
parties acting under their orders, be Oh
dered out of his jurisdiction. Gen. Avalos
deigned not to reply to either of his letters;
but the Alcalde, hearing Of the renewed out
rage upon the citizens of Guerrero, and the
robbery and destruction of their boats, advance
ed upon the rancho Rosario with about seven
tv citizens, and came to the log fort erected by
the Indians.
Upon being ordered by him to disperse, he
was defed and insulted, the Indians having
much superior force. Outside of the tort was
the notorious Capt. Tijerina. with company.
The Alcalde ordered him to dsperse, but he
refused, threatening to sustain the Indians
TJerina and the Indians wrote to Gen. Avalos
for reinforcement, and company of dragons
! was sent by him to their assistance. The Al
calde, seeing the collection of SO large force,
| ordered all the citizens of his jurisdiction un-
| der arms for the purpose of defending their
rights, and sustaining the laws of the country;
but through the mediation of Col. Cruz, of the
| Mexican army, who happened to be passing
| AT the time, collision Of the people, with the
| troops and Indians was prevented, the Colonel
promising to see Gen. Avalos, and to use his
| influence TO prevent further intrigues. So the
question of civil war rests at the last advices.
Two companies of volunteers have been Or
ganised in Brownsville, in order to be prepared
for any emergency that may arise. WV. Dun
lap, ESQ.,, has been elected Major of the batta-
lion, and A. G. Porter and J. E. McLane were
elected captains of the two companies.
The Rio Bravo says that Mr.. Waddell, tho
U. s. Consul at Matamoras, had determined TO
interfere in the execution of the two Americans
recently shot by Gen. Avaos at Metamoras.
And that if the orders to shoe then had been
given, il must be done through the American
flag. Knowing the fact, Gen. Avalos stated,
as reason for changing the hour of execution
from ten to five in the morning, that he did not
wish to be obliged TO shoot the American Con
sui. He said that, though from the known pu-
sllanimity of the American Government and
officials, he had little to fear from any direct
interference, still he thought best to put it be-
yond their power to do SO, aud that, therefore,
| the order for a change in the hour had beer
given.
