BY the arrival Of the steamship General Rusk from
Brazos Santiago at Orleans, on the 18th, we have
two weeks later intelligence from the Rio Grande
The prisoners in Brownsville jail fifteen in number
me de their escape. Great CONSERVATION was caused
in Brownsville the night Of the st nst by the re-
ceipt of intelligence that party OF nine lndsns mad
attacked psrty Of herdsmen that day on Paio Alto
prairie, and killed one Of them named Gaspsr Glae-
vecke a citizen Of Brownsville. Palo Alto prairie is
some twelve miles from that city. The lndians after
committing the murder, took number of horses
mounted, and crossed over into Mexico. Tney were
pursued and overtsken, and five of them killed. and
the stolen horses all recovered. Tne pursuers were
Mexicans from the American side, aided by the Mex
can authorities.
The Browa'rNe Flag publishes atranslation OF the
late decree declaring the Ri, Grande frontier o.
Mexico open for the free introduction OF goods OF all
kinds intended for consumption in the frontier towrs
The decree embraces all tine villages and towns on
he river, high up as the setleneS's extend, and
also ipcludes the important interior City of Monterey
The Flag remarks that the document, thOugh signed
only by the present Acting Governor of Tamaullpas,

and Coahuila.
The F7ag has received extra of the Pueblo at
Camargo, dated the 2ls. Msrch, 10 which IL mas
letters from Col. XuaZs to Gov. Nidaurr announcing
the defeat of the Liberals who, under Gems. Doblado
and Parodi had been besieging the Resctionlsts at
Celaya The letters state that on the 10Th aud ia
the two forces met at place called Salamanca where,
after some canonading the Federal troops fed ingo-
riousy leaving only 1900 or 5000 men and ~ pieces
OF artillery from TIE 900 and ~ pieces with
which they entered the contest. The account states
that the Dispersion war great aud tsys that one OF
the commanders Dobado, wished TO JON the enemy,
and the other Psrrod to retire. at least 5000 of the
troops had gone over, though these were fron the
regular line. The letters state that the fortuoe OF te
country depends upon the general support OF the
people OF this frontier.
Lste advces by express from Zacstecas had arrived,
bringing intelligence confirming the above account.
Zscatecss represented stil firm IN the cause OF
the Liberals, and was looking anxlously to find what
course would be adopted 10y the Northern States to
remedy the unfortunate disaster attending the opera
tions Of Dobado and Parrod TINS express says the
accounts H. the conflict the lose 10 killed was not
100 men. From corruption, the old troops of the lue
fed in disgrace, but the frontier cltizen soldiers man-
tanned nObly their fame for valor.
Gen. Carvaja editor of the Pueblo, sees the da ~n-
ing Of hope for the nationality OF Mexico IN thls de-
feat lie has mstrused the wisdom of ntrusting
the commsnd OF the army TO Parrodi whom he thinks
wholly incompetent 10 command, aud who has been
ruinousy consuming precious time III bombastic AMI
classical core pondence IN useless delay in marches
and coun. cr-inarches, until the enemy, at first weak
and easy defeat, had gained strength and time 10
sow the eds Of corruption in the ranks Of the army
Of the people. This mishsp will now opea the eyes of
the ns.iop and lead it 10 select more competent con-
manders. The Pueblo points with hope to the venera
BILE Gen. Alvarez the more youthful and intrepid
DegOlladO. Doubtless, in the hands OF one or the
other of these generals the disastrous field of Sala
manca may be turned 10 advantage.
