Late and important from the Rio Grandethe siege of Matamoras.interesting Details. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph publishes a lengthy account of the siege of Matamoras, taken from an advanced copy of the Brownsville Flag, of November 28. We condense the following from the Flag's article, omitting merely such portions as would prove of no interest to our readers: On Thursday last, the fight was carried on with great energy, the forces of Carvajal, making some headway towards the main plaza, which is the decisive point. In all Mexican towns, the plaza is the main point of defence and attack; and while that is held, the assailants never consider themselves victorious. In the instance now under consideration, General Garcia is the commander of the city forces, and his headquarters are on the main plaza of the town. His position is fortified by barricades across the streets leading into the square, and by breastworks upon the tops of the surrounding houses. By means of these b

rs are out of danger, being stationed behind heavy brick parapets, loop-holed for musketry. The fortifications around the theatre are called the Malakoff. On Thursday last a picked band of Rojos, 300 strong, made a splendid charge upon the Malakoff, but were repulsed with considerable loss. On Thursday the cavalry of Caravajal made their appearance in front of Brownsville, for the first time, and took command of the opposite landing to the main ferry. Don Andreas Trevino, Don Jose Maria Aldrete, and some other officers whose names we have not learned, came across the river to Brownsville and rode up into town, and were warmly received by their friends on this side of the Rio Grande. A Mexican flag, which was raised in the boat, was very properly stopped by Lieut.Col. Buchel, who has all the time acted with the strictest regard to our neutrality in the difficulty between the people of Tamaulipas.

, and were introduced to him for the first time. He is a very intelligent gentleman, and the fact that he is poor argues that he is honest. He speaks English "like a book," and claims to be a man of modern and progressive principles. He was almost unattended at the time of our visit, and was too democratic to need a guard. He walked the corridors of his quarters incessantly, and talked pleasantly while not attending to the various aids and couriers who entered the quarters. One or two Americans were about, and seemed to be talking to him to keep up time. He spoke of the intimacy between himself and the Americans, referred us to his children, now being educated in the same Virginia college where he himself received instruction. As an episode, he stated that his two children were now armed to protect a Southern school from the invasion of the North. He declared his firm intention to take Matamoras, or to die in the attempt, and stated that in the course of events he expected

sidents in Matamoras have been killed, but on due inquiry we can only ascertain the following names: Dr. John Cameron, a Scotchman by birth, but an American by naturalization. Dr. Cameron was a man of great wealth, and of long residence in Matamoras. He was killed in defending his store from the entrance of a large party of armed men. Mons. Etienne Bros, a French subject. Mons. Oscar Veseron, a young merchant, but recently removed from Brownsville to Matamoras. Mons. Francisco Bouvard, French subject. Mr. Francis Oliver, clerking in the house of Mr. Slevers, had his legs badly shot and amputated. The Refugees.--Every nook and corner of Brownsville is filled with the poor and desolate people who have been driven from their homes in Matamoras. The scene at the Levee yesterday was certainly the most vivid and moving that ever occurred under our observation, and frequently the boats were in danger of being swamped by the crowds who pressed into them.

f Caravajal's cavalry. Several skirmishes, brought on by sallies of the besieged, or assaults of the besiegers, took place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Referring to Saturday, the Flag says: It was either on this day or the day before, that the Rojos captured our friend, John Treanor, a Scotchman, but a naturalized American, and put him in prison, because, as they said, he had taken too active a part in favor of Garcia and the Crinolinos. On Friday, we omitted to state, Mr. Etienne Bres, a French citizen, was accidentally killed. On Monday Garcia's cavalry drove back the besiegers. We quote the Flag again: It was on Monday, also, that Mons. Bruzon the Consul of France, under whose flag many Confederate citizens had sought protection, solicited from our authorities that an attempt should be made to compromise the differences, or else to procure a truce, that foreigners might save themselves and property.--Col.

The proposition for an armistice was not very favorably received at first, but was finally agreed to, and twenty-four hours set as the limits of the armistice. As a matter of course, this truce was instantly inaugurated, and hundreds of people made a simultaneous rush to rescue from the town of Matamoras the goods and property which they had fondly considered beyond the reach of harm. Our citizens, unfortunately, had quite as large stocks of goods in Matamoras as in Brownsville, and the trouble was that
