SIn: / had the honor Of receiving, at o'clock I
this afternoon, your Exoclency's letter Of this 1
dste. In it YOU were pleased 10 notify me OF
the fact that yen had taken possession OF this [
city, for the purpose, as you declare, of restor-
ing TO the fall enjoyment Of their liberty its
citizens who have hitherto suffered so much \
from the L. s. army. You likewise were pleased
to offer certain .tpnlaiioos TO this garrison, pro-
vided that IL would, within fixed time, abau- /
don the point OF defence which il now occupies.
With regard 10 the assertion Of your Exccien- !
CIV, which implies that the inhabitants of Puebla |
have been mallrested by the u. 5. troops, |
wholly deny il. On the contrary, assure you
that the property and privileges Of all have been
maintained, and respected with the greatest
scrupulousness; indeed, so much so has 1t been
done that its paraleI cannot be found in the an |
nails of war And wonld most willingly leave
IL 10 the most intelligent and impartial portion
