the American General Sedgwick had intended to
cross the Rio Grande and demand the surrender of
Matamoras, upon pretext of preventing the pillage
of property belonging to subjects of the Union.

g‘ As soon as General Sheridan became aware of
the possibility that such a project might be carried
out, he hastened to make known the censure with

The Minister of War is reported to have sent from
