The Brownsville Texas correspon-
dent of the Times, under date Of the
4th inst, says:-
The American division under Gen
eral Crawford is not making much
Roadway, as Federal soldiers have
been forbidden TO enlist and the
Brownsville recruiting office has been
closed.
1t is understood that Escobado is
preparing for another attack on Ma
! tamoras.
The imperialists had surprised a
small camp of liberals, killing IL and
capturing 30 who were to be execut-
ed under Maximhan's order. Gen.
Crawford addressed Cen Weitzel on
the subject, asking him to prevent the
murder. The latter replied that he
had entered a solemn protest against
this, but Gen. Mejia informed him
that he was compelled to execute
them by the order Of his government.
Gen Crawford was shot at from the
opposite side of the river, but an apol-
ogy was afterwards made.
Recent adVces state that Gen. Clark
had arrived at Brownsville with i'm
portant dispatches from the North.
