News From ashingtOn.

Washington, IS. A delegation from Texas
headed by Senator Hamilton, waited upon
the President this forenoon in relation to
Mexican depredations on the frontier. The
delegation represented that on recent date
party of forty regular Mexican troops in
uniform crossed the Rio Grande at point
above Brownsville, arrested the United States
Customs Inspector and number of citizens,
AMI held them until they had crossed into
Mexico drove of 5000 or 5000 stolen cattle.
1t was further represented that the depreaa-
tons on stock alone by raiders from Mexico
into Texas in the last six years will reach
Sc, 900, 600 to $4,000, 900 in value and the
system of brands prevailing in Texas will
enable the sufferers to establish legitimate
claim against Mexico FROM the various coun-
ty records.
The President replied that he was familiar
with that section as he served in the Mexican
war as lieutenant He exhibited thorough
acquaintance with the condition of the MeXi-
can frontier, and stated that it had been the
subject of frequent communication to the
Mexican government, which no doubt would
be willing to afford relief, but seemed power
less while internal revolution continued in
the northern States of Mexico.
Commercial phases of the question were
also discussed, and it was suggested that the
order OF the secretary OF the treasury pro-
hihiting the clearance Of vessels from points
above Brownsville, was virtual blockade Of
the Rio Grande, and was therefore illegal.
I The President took notes of the conversa-
ton and promised to bring all questions be-
fore the Cabinet.
The delegation subsequently called upon
the Secretary of the Treasury on the ques-
tons involved. The Secretary admitted that
the order prohibiting trade above Browns
Vile WIS Of questionable legality, and unless
it was Il subject Of executive order the order
from Tie treasury department will be re-
yoked.

The French Arms Investigation

Washington, %. In the French arms in
vestgation to day, Chambrun said he never
belonged to any secret service, nor was he
either a French emmissary or a spy as has
been charged in the Senate. If the party
who made the charge were here he would
answer him. On JAM II, 1871, he received
a note from NJ. Place, stating that an indi-
vidual well acquainted with the arsenals of
the United States, informed him that the in
voice of artillery made at that time by Rem
ington, was exceedingly bad and quality in
terior. Meantime, information came to the
legislature of such nature as te arrest his
attention, and he said to Senator Patterson,
chairman of the committee en- retrenchments,
that he had received advices some of them of
vague character, connecting not high Off
GERS, but other officers of this government
with improper transactions in the purchase of
arms. The Marquis said there was some
discrepancy between the war and treasury
