INTERESTING IRON TEXAS.

The Galveston News, published at Houston, Texas Of
the goth May has been received The News learns from
Major j. T. Ware, who had recently returned from
Brownsville that detachment of 5000 French troops
expected to occupy Matamoras, and place the GUS
tom house under French direction. The News CLEANS
the following from late Brownsville papers.
TAe Flag of Tie lst instart learns that "when Gems.
Magruder and Bee paid visit to the GovenOfbf Ia
maulpas the auth critics in Matamoras fred salute in
honor Of the distinguished visitors whereupon the Lin
coin Consul demanded his passport"
The correspondent of tho Ranchero confirms the
above thus:
The Yankee Co sui, however, demanded his passport
on the ground that the said authorities treated the Off
GERS of the unrecognized Coniederacy with ciyiity.
The Flag says;
Gentlemen Just from Cuba informs us that there is
but one public sentiment in Havana, and that is entirely
in favor of the ConfederaOy It is pleasant matter
TO be Yaokee in Havana and Commodore Wilkes dis
covered that be was sa in the streets OF that city
as he was on board his war vessel. The Cubans mani
fest their dislike of Wilkes every occasion and in
every way; and they do not take particular pains to
treat any Yankee with than ordinary poleness.
The Flag says General Magruder would leave in few
days. the critical situation Of affairs in Louisiana de-
manded his presence in that quarter.
The editor adds;

This DEPARTMENT,

Citizens ofKiDg William Charles City and other
counties, who have been reduced to beggary by small
SQUADS OF Yankees, are making complaints against the
General commanding this Department. They seem to
lnk that Gen G. W. Smith, whose eudden resignation
has never been understood would not have left them at
the mercy OF i mere handful Of marouders.
These complaints, natural enough under the crcum-
stances do gTea: Injustice officer whose abilities
are listle known. The General commanding this De-
p,rtment ike the members cf the Cabinet, may have
separate merit Of his own" far as the petty de-
tails of his Office are coneened but further In
portant military movements he has nothing to do with
lie is subaltern, with limited authority. If it be
deemed advisable On the approach of transport laden
with few robbers, to withdraw all the troops near
Richmond into be Entertainments, the public may rest
ured that the Government is in the possession Of facts
of which the petty officer commanding this post is as
ignorant a. the hunblest private, which justify that
withdrawal This is a of page, aud citizens must
suffer. Soldiers in trenches can't help them. Grum-
bling at subordinate Office may afford them tempo
rary relief If it does, they viii do well to continue
grounding aud complaining. 1t is not likely that a
Government which is in the possession of facts will be
sensbly affected thereby.
