AN AMERICAN ARMY FOR MEXICO,

The New York Journal of Commerce states
that negotiations are in progress between
the Juarez and Liberal Government OF Mex
leo and several leading military men in the
United States for the raising and equipment
OF large American force, 70 be employed
in restoring peace and order IN Mexico, and
to constitute the standing army in that coun.
try. Gen. Degollado, the War Minister Of
the Juarez Government, is now at New Or
leans for the purpose of endeayoring TO per-
feet the arrangements Of this scheme. The
force necessary to effect the objects in view
is estimated at three thousand men. This
will form the nucleus or efficient working
part Of the Liberal army. and will be amply
large enough, without the aid Of native sol
diers. to put down and keep under the horde
Of outlaws who are now devastating Mexico.
The plan, a. set forth in the Journal, is as
follows:
Inc American army will be divided in.
to six regiments. Of five hundred men each,
one Of which will be raised in this vicinity,
New York, and the others in different parts
Of the Union. The general command Of the
force will be given 10 an officer who distin-
guished himself 10 the American war with
Mexico, and whose tried military talent.
