The purser of the steamship Arizona, which ar
rived at New Orleans the Oath inst from Brazos
Santiago, gives the following report of the state of
| affairs on the Rio Grande:
On the 18th inst, party of thirty men, headed
| by A Glaracke Zone of those prescribed by Cor
! tinas,) and the Sheriff of Brownsville, went out
| and succeeded in capturing the second in command
| OF Cortlnas band. He pleaded that he was forced
by Cortinas but it was proven that he was one of
the sentinels on the night of the GOTH He claims
to be an American citizen by right of residence on
this side since the annexation and was told that he
should be tried by American laws. Being tried
he was found guilty of murder, from being one of
the leaders OF the band and sentenced to be hung
on the 10th instant, but up to the Arzonas leaving
ON the same evening-it had not been carried
into effect.
Cortinas, on hearing of his arrest crossed the
river again from Mexico, and gave notice "that if
hair on his followers head was touched and if he
was not at liberty, that he would lay the city of
| Brownsville in ashcS.'
| He had assembled his men again to do so in case
| OF his not being released

! defence for our frontier.
On the upper river things appear to be equally
! as bad. Mr.. Neale, the father of W. p. Neale,
killed by Cortinas, surrounded at his rancho by
Indians and Mexicans; and some other ranches,
owned by Americans, surrounded also, so that
many who would come to the relief of Brownsville,
are surrounded by forces, which they are not nu-

pieces of artillery have been taken to Brownsville
| from BraZos, where there are about thirty pieces
having been brought there after the dsmantng
! of Fort Brown. The pieces in Brownsville are
! loaded with grape shot, and command the weakest
| points of the city. The whole valley of the Rio
Grande is left in a perfectly defenceless condition
and open to the raid of Indians and scoundrels of
all descriptions.
SUBTERRANEAN PASSAGE TO A THRoNE.-The Echo

the following incident: fact made public here last

the arms and munitions. and commence an attack
which, from its sudden and subterranean breaking

country, for time at least, into the arms of the
