[Translation.]
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, OFFICE OF WAR AND MARINE—SECTION FIRST.
In your communication of the 25th of November last, from Monterey, you inform the President of the republic of the feats of arms at the capture of that place on the 23d and 24th of the same month, and of driving back a French force that tried to recover it on the 25th. The President appreciates, in all its merit, this courageous undertaking, and is pleased with the courage displayed by the chiefs, officers, and men who gained this national triumph. He therefore commands me to congratulate you and your brave men, in the country’s name, and thank them for their good services.
Independence and liberty! Paso del Norte, January 9, 1868.
MEJIA.
General Mariano Escobedo, Chief of the Army Corps of the North, (wherever he may be.)
