Late and Interesting from the Rio Grande.—By the arrival of the steamship Globe, Capt. Talbot, from the Brazos, we have Brownsville papers (says the N. O. Delta,) to the 12th instant. The Sentinel of the 5th contains accounts of more outrageous and depredations by the Indians. The Sentinel says:

By almost every arrival from the Upper Rio Grande, we are informed of some fresh outrage by the savages, who are continually hovering round and attacking where they find an opportunity. We are told by a gentleman just returned from Laredo, that the people in the vicinity of that place have been forced to abandon their farms and flocks and seek security for their lives in the protection afforded by the town. The Indians are worse than they have been for a number of years before. The condition of the farms on the river between Rio Grande City and Laredo is represented to be deplorable in the extreme, while on this side of Rio Grande City, large fields of corn may be seen thriving in the greatest luxuriance and abundance; beyond that place hardly a blade of corn or cultivated field meets the eye of the traveller, but deserted houses and scattered flocks, running wild for want of tenders, are every where seen—the owners having either been murdered or compelled to seek safety for themselves and families in other parts.

Belville, a new and promising settlement, opposite the Mexican town of Guerrero, is said to have been taken by the Indians, but we have been unable to learn the extent of the damage.

The Sentinel publishes the following extract from a letter from a correspondent at Roma, dated 27th ult.

Mr. James Roberts has just arrived from Guerrero, and reports that on the 22d inst., the Indians attacked the rancho Rivanio, a few miles above Guerrero, on the Texas side of the river, where a sharp conflict ensued, and three Mexicans were badly wounded. The Indians then came down to the rancho Capitauania, and drove off all the horses in the rancho. They then went on down as far as Las Lajas, and there drove off a large number of animals, and made good their retreat. The Mexicans, it is said, fought very gallantly at rancho Rivanio, and two Indians are said to have been wounded.
