NEW YORK, Aug. %. The Tribune's
Brownsville, Texas, correspondent OF
August 5th says:
This evening Senior Robes, Mexican
Minister of Public Works, came over the
river on a visit, and was received by
General Steele, who gave his distin-
guished visitor quieb dinner, Mt Mil
ler's Hotel. Among the guests were
Generals Weitzel and Draper. After
pleasant repast, at which friendly
sentiments We're exchanged, the party
broke up, Senior Robles re-crossing't the
river. Senior Romero and Gen. OrteRa
are said to be on their way here, and are
looked for daily. The visit of these two
distingn ished liberals seems to point to
something about to be done on the Rio
Grande. All quiet along the river at
present.
