Refuses neutrality: 'esta Plaza esta Sostenida por fuerzas Mejicanas que tengo el honor de mandar, y que jamas sera Neutral, ni ver Con indiferencia la guerra injusta del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos' [this plaza is held by Mexican forces I have the honour to command, and will never be neutral]. Warns the Puerto de la Paz must be retaken within 5 or 6 days by the forces that left this port. Protests before the nations of Europe that the addressee anchored his boat under the English flag before hoisting the US colours. Attacks 'el Ex Gefe Politico Dn Franco Palacios Miranda que por su Cobardia se manifesto neutral' [ex-jefe politico Palacios Miranda, neutral through cowardice]; his men will fight 'hasta derramar su ultima gota de Sangre'.
