last quite an excitement was created in our city.
growing out Of the stoppage of communication
between this place and Matamoros On the morn
ing spoken OF our people were surprised to find
that the Terry rope was taken down through the
orders Of the Mexican authorities, and the news
circulated that all communication between the
two nations was thus stopped at a moments
warning. This proceeding in Brownsville gave
rise to many and various conjeotures, and to no
little Indignation, inasmuch as the daily business
of many of the citizens of both banks was
greatly frustrated On looking Ground at the
consequences, it was found that the merchant
was separated from his business, the father from
his children, and the husband from his wife. It
served, II for nothing else, to show the Intimate
relations and constant communication between
the people of the two cities, which the river
alone divides, On the PRONUNCIATION of this or
der, 1t was found that there were citizens of
Brownsville in Matamoros, and many of those
OF the latter city were tied up in Brownsville.
The consequence was many long faces among
the interested parties The confusion lasted for
only about two hours, however, when the matter
was restored to it's former position, through the
intervention of the U. S. Vice Consul, Captain
L. j. Drgan, as we understand.
ESCAPE OF MEXICAN VICTIMS On last Satur-
day evening three of the political victims of the
present tyrannic Government of Mexico effected
their escape from their guards and made good
their way to this place. These gentlemen are
Coils. Barherena and Zetina, and a citizen, San
Per. They had been for some time incarcerated
IN Matamoros, and were on their way to the
month OF the river to be sent to the fortress Of
San Juan de Ulua. The wrath of Gen Vol at
the escape of his victims is said to have been
unhounded. This it was, doubtless which led
| to his order on the following Monday, for the
establishment OF non communication. Ii has
been said that those whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad.' May not such
be the case with the furious despots who now
dictate to the once blood bought freemen of
Mexico'
We have just learned that secret orders were
given to the officer in charge of these gentlemen
10 nave them shot, before arriving at the vessel
on winch they were to be taken, and if this
could not be done, they were to have been ex-
ecuted on board the vessel. Their escape has
frustrated the designs of their assassins, and
has led to some misunderstanding between Col
Cruz and Gen. Wolff in consequence. tits stated
that Col. Cruz had promised Gen Vol faith
tul tool, with heart cold enough to carry out
his plan of assassination. The destined victims,
however, fortunately succeeded in eyadine the
vigilance Of their destined butchers, sprang

ARRIVAL OF TROOPS AT MATAMoRos. During
the present week there has been an arrival Of
between 800 and 400 troops at Matamoros
Immediately on their arrival a large detach-
ment Of the former garrison, under Col Cruz,
was dispatched toward Victoria, after the insur-
gents They left on Monday last, and rumor has
1t that they have encountered every species of
annoyance since their departure One account
hasn't that they are surrounded and besieged by
twice their number of insurgents, and another
has 1t that they have commenced counter
march, and are upon returning to Matamoros
Another still lntimates that both Coils Cruz and
