FROM THE Rio GRANDE.-The correspondent
of the Central Texan, writing from Eagle Pass,
under date Of October 30th says there is CON
siderable excitement there, in consequence Of
the report that the volunteers are coming in
large numbers All the Mexicans have crossed
over to the other side, with one or two excep-
tons, and there is not more than twenty citi-
zens left to defend the place. Twelve hundred
men are said to be under arms within twenty
five miles up and down the river, five hundred
having arrived from Monterey with four pieces
of artillery. The writer adds:
1t is reported the Lipan Indians have carried
their families to the mountains, and are now
down, ready to fight. There is party of nine
Lipans on this side. They were seen about
Mine Creek, q few days ago.
The Mexicans have a party out on this side,
| spying. They left Preside Rio Grande eight
| days ago, and part of them went to San Anto-
| MO on the old Woll trail So, you see, they are
taking every precaution not to be surprised.
The bones Of the four men lost by Capt. Gala
hans command in the fight with the Mexicans
and Indians, have been brought to this side and
buried. The skull Of one bears the marks Of
the scalping knife. Prior to removing them TO
their homes, the body of Lieutenant Devant,
drowned at this place last month, was found,
down by Laredo, stripped naked When

By the arrival, yesterday morning, of the
steamship Nautilus, we received the Brownsville
Flag of the 10th inst, which says:
Here we are far advanced into the fall sea-
son, and yet we have not had o norther of any
consequence, but, on the contrary, the heat,
during some of the days of this week, was
very oppressive We hope that the cold will
come now pretty soon, to dry the lagoons around
our city, or else great deal of sickness will
prevail, caused by the miasma.
The Eco del Pueblo, paper printed in Guam
ajuato, has the following;
The Latest--A friend has written to us from
Mexico, assuring US that the propositions for |
the North American protectorate treaty, have
been found in the archives of the National Pal |
ace by Lie. Lafragua, and that they ere signed |
by Santa Anna, Lares and Bonilla, and ap-
proved by the Minister of the United States.
1t is fortunate that it yet time to foil this last
piece Of rascality of the conservatives, which |
would have done away with Mexican honor and |
Then follow several paragraphs, commenting
