Important effects produced by Commodore Moore 1st. He has beaten off the Mexican Fleet from before Yucatan causing at best much ?ying to the Montezuma. & daring them to approach the coast - Had he had but the Steamer to have brought him into action the Mexican Squadron would have been taken. 2. Moore has raised the siege of Yucatan - he has given confidence to the brave Yucaticos, Medez? has discovered the cunning and falsity of Ampudia & thus the Mexican General must capitulate. 3. Moore will have prevented the Transports with enforcements from joining Ampudia & will in all probability make prizes of them 4. Thus was my look upon Santanas operation against Yucatan as having failed - And moreover ^ the most important point no invasion of Texas at least by Sea can take place
