terday noon, bringing Messrs.

ago to 90 to Camargo, in order to
negotiate with Escobedo for the re-

the convoy.
These gentlemen were not prison
.ers, as reported in our issue of yes
'terday, but General Escobedo re-
fused to come to any terms with
them, stating that everything would
be settled satisfactorily for all par
ties in Matamoros. The train is at
Reynosa, the wagons intact, but 27
of them have already been given,
we are informed, to Gen. Canalas,
for his share in the action.
There were only 125 Austrians
killed and wounded, and many of
that number wounded but slightly.
The surgeon was killed, and four or
five other officers seriously but not
dangerously wounded. Many of
them have joined Canales' forces and
are going to stay with them; the
balance Of them have Joined Esco-
bedo.
Gen. Escobedo was expected to
arrive last night or early this morn
ing.

shot, but effected his escaped by
swimming the Rio Grande to the
Texan side.
