fifteen hundred negroes. A soldier from Niblett's Bluff reports that Col. Tom Green succeeded in capturing sixty wagons on the 24th, and five hundred negroes. The Brownsville Flag, of the 15th ult., published a report that a French man-of-war had made her appearance off the bar at the mouth of the Rio Grande, and that she was examining vessels arriving to ascertain if they carried articles contraband of war. If this be so, the Rio Grande is doubly blockaded, but while Lincoln excludes everything, (except, perhaps, munitions and supplies for the Mexicans under Adams's pass,) the French only shut out articles contraband. There was a surplus of merchandize at Brownsville, (on the Texas side of the Rio Grande,) and goods could be had at very low rates, especially by the cargo, and even by the package. Cotton was declining on account of the scarcity of specie to pay the export duty and other charges. But it was arriving freely, and could be bartered to advantage for goods.
