treating.
Flakes Galveston Bulletin Of the
t~wenty-frst, furnishes the following late
and interesting intelligence from the Rio
Grande:
Mr.. I. c. Levy has just returned from
Matamoros, and has placed US under
obligations for MatamOros papers up
to the sixteenth instant. He in
forms us that the forces Of the Lib
erals have become much scattered Of
late, as viii also be seen from extracts
below from The RdncherO. The streets
Of the city have all been fortified with
earth works. Mr.. L. informs us that
two flat boats came down the river on
the night Of the fourteenth, and attacked
the Imperial gunboat which succeeded
in sinking boath fats. Many Of the
Liberals were killed and drowned, and
some Of them captured.
Since writing the above we had the
pleasure Of a call from Louis Seeligson,
Esq. also just from the Rio GIande. He
formerly resided here, but has been, for
the last ten or twelve years, a resident Of
Roma and Rio Grande City. Mr.. Seelig-
son has returned with his family, and in
tends making this place his home per-
manently.
Mr.. S. informs Us that tho Liberals at
CGrmargo and Mier are pursuing the
grab game. They examine the books Of
[ the merchants, and make them pay over
into the Liberal treasury, all balances
due TO merchants or inhabitants Of Mata-
moros. The consequence Of this Is that
there has been q general stampede 10 Rio
Grande City and Roma.
The following is from the RdHcbcrO Of
/ the fourteenth and sixteenth
The situation Of affairs continues to
improve. There is now, from all APP
-pearauces, not the slightes. apprehension
Of another attempt against this city.
/ Despite reports and publications TO the
I contrary from the other side of the river,
l outlaws are scattering and to scatter.
" EscObedo with his demOralized force,
the largest force commanded by any Of
the faction leaders, Is in full retreat and
it might not be a great stretch OF pre-
sumption TO suppose him as far up the
river as ReynOsa. This, however, Is
mea.urably conjecture, but based on the
Judgment of those best posted. One
thing is certain, his command, which
had only been kept together by the hope
of plumber, is breaking up. Deserters
are heard from in various directions. II,
however, rs some would have US believe,
the falling back Of the outlaws is only q
ruse 10 cover q desperate attack, we have
only to say they would be received far
more warmly than on the occasion Of
their first visit.
There is little doubt that Canales is
many miles from here, as he was last
heard of on the San Fernan, fifteen miles
distant, in full retreat. The scouts which
went up the river yesterday, or the day
before, found nothing ten miles out.
They visited the various camps Of the
enemy, opposite COrtina's rancho, but
found il evacuated. Therefore, within =
circuit Of many miles around the city no
enemy has been seen OF heard within
I the last two or three days.
"Fr0m all we can learn, the only band
Of outlaws lowering near us is that Of
Cortina. who, after a border warfare
study Ofseveral years, has learned how
TO cross and reerOss the river in accord
ance with the dictates Of personal safety.
1.-THE following order wa posted on
the streets yesterday morning. We pub
lish it for the information Of all on
cerned
MEXICAN EgPIRE-INFORMATION.-
The public in general are informed that,
by order Of his EXcellency, the Com
handing General, Thomas Mejia, no
passes to the other side Of the river shall
be allowed after the fifteenth inst.
Therefore, foreigners who mayhave BUSH
ness to settle there, are permitted to do
so. up TO the date above mentioned, after
which time M person whatever shall be
allowed 20 leave the city.
