No. 7.

[Translation.]

MEXICAN REPUBLIC—ADVANCED STATION, NEAR TLACOTALPAM.

At eleven at night my forces were in front of Tlacotalpam, about to begin the attack, when the gunboats opened upon us, and we were compelled to retire. They are now on the surrounding heights, determined to annoy the garrison as long as possible.

F. CARREON.

The General Second in Chief of the Eastern Line.
