Most at the troops now In the city are about
to leave for other. and, perhaps, distant places.
This change of things must have been foreseen
by most of them since their entrance into the
city. The republic Is to be occupied by the
American forces until those who have authority
to speak and to act for her give satisfactory evil
to the United States tor the injuries her govern
ment has received, and make propositions of
peace. Perhaps some of the regiments, at pre-.
sent IN this capital, who have seen hard service,
would prefer remaining in a city which they
have done much to gain. They will, how
ever, find the different places where they are to
be stationed quite rs pleasant and agreeable. If
there be anything to do, they are the "boys'' to
do It. The heroes OF Contreras, Churubusco,
and Chapultepec, are not to be beaten in any en-
gdgement We do not, however, antic pate any
severe encounter at any OF the points to be &C.
cuped. The authorities OF the different States
dali, h.. IL
cannot, hereafter, have their own way. The
Americans will see that the revenues at the i'm
pOrtant posts the republic, pass into the hands
ut the Uulted States authorities here, to aid in
detray ing the expenses of the occupation of the
country ny their troops. Those who are about
leaving will not be wanting in any emergency
that may arise.
Hereafter, there is to be a general hospital IN
the city, under the charge OF DR.. Tripler, with
the assistant surgeons; one sergeant of each
regiment to have charge OF ward In The same.
The local of the different branches OF this
hospital are given IN the general orders pub
llshed to-day.
The railroad meeting at Paoli's Hotel, at A
O'Clock this afternoon, ought to be well attended,
and We doubt not that it will be so The commit

relation to the cost and grading of the contem.
plated road from this city TO Vera Cruz, as well
as the probab amount OF transportation, whether
OF merchandise or passengers: Several distn-

General Gushing and Colonel Herbert.
The Monitors correspondent at Queretaro
writes that the contemplated ,pronunciamento
would take place on Tuesday last. Tornel Is
the soul OF the conspiracy. Atrlstaln and Hero
had arrived by express. and 1t was supposed the
object OF their visit was 10 make some prelmi-
naries towards peace.

noon yesterday. portion of the train also
came In. They are fitte en- days from Vera
Cruz. The men look well, though somewhat
worn by the fatlgues of the march. A few days,
however, will be sufficient to reinvigorate them
completely There will be more troops in to-
day, and tomorrow We shall have the mail

the REPRESENTATIONS OF THE MEXICAN ARMY.
The following extracts are made from the Star
OF the 18th ult.
Our readers are aware that the Mexican Con-
gress has been recently discussing various pro-
positions tor the reorganization OF the Mexican
army, We are not aware that any project OF
this character has passed into a law, and Tor the
reason that the deputies, when there happens to
be quorum present, can unite upon no single act
OF legislation. The Federaiista, however, pub
llshed at Qurretaro, and received yesterday, con-
tains the project of law on the subject, submit.
ted by Perdlgon Garay, deputy from the State of
Mexico: It's quite long, and we can give sy.
nopsis merely. The first article provides that
armed force of forty thousand men shall be raised
for the purpose of repelliog the invader, and TO
be called the "Militia of tue Confederate States
of Mexico" Each State is to furnish one man
for every two hundred Of the population: This
force shall be infantry formed into battalions of
eight hundred men, taking the name of the State
to which they belong. The soldiers shall be
honest men, able to endure the privations and

of age, and serve during the war For The sup.
port OF this force, it is ordered that in all the
States, Districts, and Territories, every hundred
persons shall contribute two reals per day. There
are some other provisions in regard to pay, de-
sertions, rewards and punshments, but these are
the main features of the bill. the Federaiista
