of December last by General Slaughter, who commands
the nsurgent forces In the Western district OF Texas to
Don Tomas Mea the commander o. the forces Of the
Orzaba, captured by the insurgents under the
plea that she manned by citizens OF the United
States
From this communication we may infer what are the
relations that have existed between the insurgents of
both republics and what the sympathies which those
Of the United states entertain for those of Mexico
This communication was republished in the
Gazette of Monterey OF the 18th December referred to-
preceded by an article of which also transmit copy
in which the sentiments Of sympathy expressed by Gen
eral Slaughter are recprocated the intervenonsts Of
Monterey considering themselves satisfied with the ex
plantations of the said General. and even prasng his
action in capturing the steamer orzaba The crcnm,
Of the publication Of such article in the Official
paper OF the socoled authorities OF the Intervention In
New Leon is very significant.
These documents are additional proof of the iden-
ty of political interests which exists between the nsur
gents Of this country and the rartsans Of the French
in Mexico thus making manifest that which exists
between the United States and the Mexican nation
