FRENCH Blockade OF MEXICAN PORTS
.-MATAMoRAs EXEMPTED. The Browns.

FRENCH Blockade OF MEXICAN PORTS
--MATAMoRAs ExEMpTED.-The Browns.
vile CTexas) Flag, of a late date, says:
Intelligence has been received at Mata-
moras from Vera Cruz that the whole gulf
coast of Mexico had been declared in a
state Of blockade by the French squadron,
except the mouth Of the Rio Grande and
ten miles next thereto. Under this decla.
ration Matamoras is peculiarly fortunate,
for commerce just now is necessary; both
to Mexico and Texas.
It is q question in every mouth, why
have the French exempted Matamofas from
the effects Of the blockade declared against
the whole Mexican coast? Il is indeed an
important question, for it at once arouses
the conviction that either the French have
an understanding with the Federals, or
else they are willing to assist the Confeder-
acy in every. indirect way possible. We
incline to the belief that the true reason is
that the French Emperor is unwilling to- do
anything prejudicial to the Confederatea,
and that, therefore, be declines to close the
ports Of Matamoras as long as We may have
use for it.
