My Much ESTEEMED FRIEND Since my
last letter to you, the division Of General
Riva Palacio and brigade from Puebla,
which was attached to the army of the
East during the siege Of Queretaro, have
been Incorporated in Ne army of opera
tions against the city OF Mexico; also, the
army OF the West, under the command of
Gen. Corona; and two divisions Of the
army OF the North, under that of Gen.
francisco Alatorre; we thus number, in
all, some $4,000 men, and within few
days Mexico will be ours.
could have taken it with the forces o.
the Eastern army alone, but had not sui
fcient cavalry to cover all the outlet
through which the principal guilty partie
would have escaped us; but now, witt
5000 cavalry, all the avenues will be wei
guarded, and the same thing will happel
as at Queretaro; none will escape us.
have full faith and great confidence in tn
| result.
Within the city Of Mexico its press still
endeavors to deceive the people by deny
ing the fall OF Queretaro and Imprisonment
Of Maximiliani but both the people an,
the army have heard OF it. consider tn
occupation OF Mexico a matter of yer,
few hours, and do not believe that Veri
Cruz will attempt to hold out afterwards
In conclusion, when you shall have re
ceived this letter, tho soil Of Mexico will
have already been cleared of traitors.
Without time to say more, repeat my
self your sincere friend,

On Tuesday, the 2lst OF May, the Emperor
