According to this statement, the aggregate OF force

these 22 are regular troops; s,252 are volunteers oil

whole actual effective force, therefore, under the COM

The sane statement exhibits also, far is known,
the distribution of these troops exclusive of the new

But the new regiments must have already reinforced
some il not all OF these posts and the number OF troops
now at Camargo is probably not less than 800. The
