On the 12th of No vember the general-in-chief added a supplement to his memoranda, which, with some few important exceptions, contained expressions of the same views as the first of the papers.f In both, Vera Cruz was spoken of as the first great object to be attacked, but with a view to aV era Cruz and its Castle.
