A letter in the Houston Telegraph, from Brownsville, of date the 28th of March, says that the clouds raised by the recent abduction of Davis and others from Mexican territory, and the more recent seizure of a Federal schooner in the anchorage off the mouth of the Rio Grande, which threatened so much to interrupt the friendly relations of the frontier, have gradually subsided, and given way to halcyon signs of peace and kindness. Matamoras is said to be filled with goods, and causes are operating to give prices a downward tendency. On the 28th there were nearly a hundred vessels at the anchorage awaiting their discharge.
