The negotiations for the pacification of the the Herze- goviniaiis, rrtive fallen through. The powers seriously contemplate armed intervention to maintain the peace of Europe. New York, April 3. A dispatch from Brownsville, of the 2nd, says : At 5 o'clock this morning, Porferio Diaz presented himself with his army of about 1,000 men, to attack Mata moras. Genl Laborra, in command of the garrison, sent out a force ol 300 men under Genl Toledo, to attack the enemy, ihis lorce pronounced, when out of the city, and came back in the ranks of Diaz. The National guard, 1,000 strong, were in the city, and the artillery refused to fire a single shot when ordered by de Labarra, and the revolutionists keptadvancieg. On this, all the government troops turned over except the 9th cavalry, which stood firm. After some fighting Gen de La barra said he was betrayed on the bat tle field, and left the city with a squad of the 9th cavalry for Brownsville. The Generel crossed over finally and is now here. The United States gunboat Rio Bravo is in front of Mata- moras, to protect the American and foreign citizens. Diaz is in Matamoras, and has been received with great re joicing. At the present writing, fighting is going on at Forts San Fernando and Casa Matu, a fortification in the sub urbs af Matamoras, by a remnant of the government, troops under com mand of Cols Ctisto and Parrott, who refuse to surrender. The artillery is roaring and the return is uncertain. Hundreds of families from Matamoras have been pouring into this city for a week past, in anticipation of a battle, and the greatest excitement prevails on both sides of the river. The officers and troops who crossed over to Texas, have been arrested and disarmed by Gen Potter and have taken Fort Brown under orders of the Secretary of War. LATER. Washington, April 3 The Navy De partment has advices that the Insur gents under Gen Diaz took possession of Matamoras with little opposition. General Labarra with about twenty men escaped to Brownsville. Captain Johnson, commanding the steamer Rio Bravo, can see no prospect of the Mexican Government retaking Mata moras for some time, as its troops in ths.l vicinity have either squandered or joined the insurgents. London, April 3. A Times special from Alexandria says the King of Aby. sinnia has sent envoys to Egypt ask ing for peace, but alterward made im possible demands for a treaty of com merce before the treaty of peace was signed and for the payment of war ex penditures. The Egyptians are forti fying in strong positions commanding the passes. They will garrison these and withdraw the remainder of .their troops during the rainy soason. This suggested that neutral territory will be formed to prevent future collisions between Abyssinia and Egypt. It is reported that Prince Tigre has revolt ed, and is marching on Adawa, the capital of the State of Tigre.
