France and the United States. The Matamoras Bulletin describes a grand fete given in honor of the Federal Military Governor of Texas, "Don A. J. Hamilton" and staff, by Don Jesus de la Serne, Governor of the State of Tamaulipas, in which Matamoras is situated. The Don Hamilton is quartered at Brownsville, opposite Matamoras.

The French commander had assembled the Arab Chiefs, and, telling them that his soldiers had filled up their wells, carried off their cattle, and burned their dwellings, exhorted them to submission, asking them what they would do further against a country so powerful as France.--"The Arabs, as if impelled simultaneously, stooped to the earth, plucked some scant blades of grass there growing, and began chewing the same in angry silence. This was all their reply, and by it they intimated that they would eat what the earth gave, like the beasts that are upon it, rather than surrender." Eating grass is not very agreeable, but it is better than eating dirt. The Southern people, if subjected to such an alternative, will not show less spirit than the Arabs.
