Sir: Your despatch of October 27 (No. 34) has been received. It presents, in a very brief, yet a very comprehensive way, the political and military situation of Mexico.

Under date of the 24th instant I addressed you a despatch, (No. 61,) which was forwarded by the mail of yesterday, and for which you will please to consider the present a substitute, the first of this number having been cancelled.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
