Sn:-Your communication, bearing date at 8
O'Clock p M on the 23d instant, has Just been re-
ceived, by the hands of Col. Moreno.
In answer to your proposition to evacuate the
city and fort with all the personal and material OF
war, | have to state that my duty compels me to
decline acceding to it. a complete surrender of
the town and garrison, the latter prisoners of
war, is now demanded. But such surrender will
be upon terms, and the gallant defence of the
place, credltabe alike to the Mexican troops and
nation, will prompt me to make those terms
as liberal possible. The garrison will be al
lowed, at your option, after laying down its arms,
to retire to the interior, on condition of not serving
again during the war, until regularly eXch nged.
need hardly say that the rights OF non combat
ants Will be respected
An answer TO this communication is required by

an officer will be despatched at once, under nstruc-
tons to arrange the conditions.
