The great event Of the last seven months-snce the
Allied Commissioners row April lastfor this part Of
Mexico has been the arrival OF General Forey II has
breathed life tho French garrison aud swept
from the scene the iunumerabc phantoms OF politics
which had divided the army Of Invasion for long time,
and been the bitter feuds between those who
were deeply interested in carrying out the nterven
ton General Forsys arrival has been the signal for
truce all wrangngs among those who had before been
encharged hage and General Amonte who had
his ssupreme government extinguished by word, has
assumed the role Of soldier and put himself at the
ders Of the now conner General Forey and peace now
rogn in Ozaba and everything has frightened up and
affairs moving fairly ahead, on the basis Of length
ened residence Of the French Mexico General Forey
is reforming everything he goes a.ong entirely de-
sroyng all the appointments OF Aimontc, thus asty con-
tradictng the oepcated assertion that tho French are
here 70 support cne party b. Expressing another.
On changing the municipal authorities Of this place Gen.
Forey had no difficulty in securing the services of the
most respectable residents who made no objection what
to lending hor services The "a no spirit has been
manifested Cordosa, aud have no doubt it will bc
found in the large cities the army marches towards
the interior.
So far Cen. Forcy's course has been severe but just
He has reprmancd the officers Of the army for the
OF disqualification into which they have permitted thcm
selves 10 fail. He has spoken to them in the sevcres
terms this subject and for their hostility to NJ do Sa
ligny he gave them public rebuke following il up by
caution that they continued their bcsy such as did
40 would be at back TO France. To the repre-
senatives OF the Mexican clergy, who went 10 meet
him pu his arriyal there, On the oath usimo, he
SPOKE in kind but distinct terms. He appealed 10
them 10 preach reace and reconciliation TO their
countrymen, to urge them to fraternze and work
for the eoOi Of their country Respecting the confsca
tion Of the property Of the clergy he told them they must
consider that someih hing already accomplished and
hear he considers all fair sales good worthy being
respected but that the fraudulent operations of Juarcz
aud bis mnions things be annued 1rhc ragged and
lean Mexican soldiers ne addressed in kind terms He
told them the army OF France had often found self
ragged and needy bit for all that had performed great
pressing wants IL they will only behave properly and
show thesc'yc. worthy Of c'.ryng Sd arms The ho1i
their pay from the Fsench and gradually being uni
iormci AS yet but few French officers have been intro
dccd amongst the Aexicans. General Aimontc Is their
General In Chief under the orders of General Forey
One thing Forsy has told them which fancy they will
not general thing like much in campaign and that Is
that they shall have the ,oss Of honore cxposd
points Tits looks we'll paper but Is not precisely the
or late the Mcxicas have been ehaving be,tcr. They
do not steal grand scale since they have been getting
ray from the French for If they do they will proba
bly, swing for H. General Foey has prohibited the scizng
by force "f "vountcc s. for the Mexican army, which
will prevent the further present increase OF that very
doubtful institution.
Altogether General Forey's arrival here and acts stree
have been most satisfactory. People begin to
prosperity and guarantees TOR them in the intervention
and the b ,crcst enemies Of the French months ago
