New Orleans, Oct 26.-The following I'M
portant letter appears this evening"
Headquarters, Department Of the Gulf.
New Orleans, Oct 23d, 1866 General:
am satisfied that there is only one way in
which the state of affairs on the Rio Grande
can be bettered, and that is by giving the
heartiest support to the only government in
Mexico recognized by our own--the only one
which is really favorable to us. You will,
therefore, warn all adherents of any party or
pretended government in Mexico, or in the
State of Tamaulipas, that they will NOT be
permitted to violate the neutrality laws be-
tween the liberal government Of Mexico and
the United States, and also that they will
not be permitted to remain in our territory
and receive the pio ection of our flag in Or
der to complete their Vaccinations for the
violation Of our neutrality laws. These in
struptions will be enforced against the adher-
epts of the imperial buccaneer representing
the so-callsi.im 3 government Of Mexico,
and also against the Ortega, Santa Anna and
other factions. President ,Juarez is the ac-
knowedged head of the liberal government
of Mexico
