Depot of Foreign Relations and Government, Paso del Norte, March 30, 1866.
In the supplement to No. 13 of the official paper of the government which I send, you will find reports of the complete victories gained by the national forces under General Luis Terrazas, in the capture of the city of Chihuahua, on the 25th of this month.
You will also see a report of the capture of the town of Hidalgo del Parral on the 22d, by Colonel Agustin Vazquez, with the arrest of the pretended traitor, political prefect Julio Carranco.
Thus you will see that the State of Chihuahua is now free from the enemy.
Accept the protests of my attentive consideration.
LERDO DE TEJADA.
The Minister of the Mexican Republic, in the United States of America.
