We bad the pleasure Of an interview, this morning.
with Mr.. Kinney editor Of The Brornsrhe rag we
Learn from him that the late incursiou OF "eIcan
Cueiila party into that city was much more serious
affair than We were led, at ret, by the published &C
counts 10 believe. Ia fact such Is the state OF tnnSs
in Brownsville that no cne there, or N the immediate
vicinity feels il seize openly 70 express his opnon IN
public Associates or sympsthizers with the lnvsiers

friend or foe aud everything else is swallowed up IL
the promptirgs 20 individual safety. large number
Of the ptople have already left and others are pre-
pairing TO leave as soon they can settle up Their
business.
We learn from Mr. Kinney that the resi- object of
the invaders is punder ana that their designs are not
only upon brownsville, but upon the whole sil9lnlns
country. The patty originally crossed soue distance
above the town, aud, after committing depreciation
all along the let American bsrk, hnsAy directed
their course TO Brownsville bee ause OF III nope Oh
richer plunder. Mr. Kinney thinks the original inten'
ton of Cornas was 10 burn down the town, and fears
are entertained that he viii yet accomplish MS pur-
pose At lsst accounts received by hln the o'n INST
some twentyfour hours later than were before IN our
po9essior the whole pa ty were encampef some thr-
teen miles up the river, on the Amenesl sde, a. what
is known as CortiBas's Ranch. They then nun5eret
in all soue 400 men, and were daily receiving accss-
sions bob from the Mexican and American side, fjr,
as said before large portion OF the population on tns
eide being Mexican by sympathes, and moreover In
destitute condition, had joined hands with the plin-
derers.
No one Of course knows the plans OF the invaders,
nor how far their depredatons will extend nor what
will be the issue of the matter. Mr.. X. thinks how
ever now the loDg-expec.ef incursions have be-
gun that there will be- no security TO life or property
aDya here the border I'LL the lately abandoned null
tsry stations .ba bs reestablshed. The withdrawal
Of the United States troops indeed he thinks the cause
OF a the trouble. There s not now, from ii Paso %
the mouth of the Rio Grande distance OF upward Of
200 mes folo~ ing the Of the stream, and all
exposed, single military station kept up, or single
soldier for the protection Of the deensees5 citizens.
As TO assistance from San Antonio, whittier, on the
appearance of the guerrilla messengers at once
dispatched, Mr.. h. thinks they will be dieap pointed
There is not be thinks. at soy of the stations ia the
interior than sufficient force for the protection
Of the surrounding country. II may be that q few
troops enough with the AID Of the citizens 10 protect
the City of Brownsville may be spared from San Al
tonic; but for the efficient protection Of the whole
border, liable at any Isce s2d at any moment 10 be
oveuun by these guerrilla bands, it is believed that
force OF not ess than 300 TO 100 men will be
found necessary.
RETIREMENT OF TIE MEXICAN GUERILLAS

1t is understood that yesterday Cortnas, with his
