y, or to impede the charges of the enemy. Strangers Killed--Rumor has it that many foreign residents 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.

n. These sharp-shooters 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. The forces of Caravajal, after taking possession o

the river; but a force having sallied from the city to meet them, a skirmish took place in the cornfield, just opposite Fort Brown, in which Garcia's troops were victorious, for they stopped the progress of 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 ou

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
