perhaps it will be satisfied that we are right as 10
our opinion, that "Paredes made no distinction
between The occupation OF Corpus Christi and the
occupation Of the left bank OF the Rio Grande."
The language is much stronger against U.s.
while we were al Corpus Christi, than when we
had advanced 10 The Rio Grande. This may
have been forgotten by the Times, since it ap-
