The Enperor's letter Of congratulation 10 Generai
Forey, on the taking Of Puebla, will have reached
you before the receipt Of tits. Some people nave

official. The letter TO Gen. Forey, the ieuer OF "a
July, 1852, the only authoritative programme, or
rather, adumbration Of NspoleOns Mexican policy,
remains unqualified. The war remains unpopular

sentences in the letter Of l2tb June IL not in the
text but in the relations of the Mexican to the Polish
