Sir: I have the honor to remit inclosed to your excellency copies of five communications relative to the unfortunate affair which happened in Acapulco on the night of the 26th of the present month, and to which your excellency refers in your notes of the 27th and 28th of the same month.

By said communications your excellency will see that there have been ordered and there are being ordered the appropriate measures, by this department and by the departments of justice, interior; (gobernacion,) and war, to the end that peace and order may be insured in that locality, that religious liberty of the interested parties may be guaranteed, and the apprehension and punishment of those who may be found guilty may be secured.

I improve this opportunity to renew to your excellency the assurances of my very distinguished consideration.
