FRENCH GENERALS MEXICO
II may be interesting TO know who are the regular
French General officers now ON service in Mexico.
The Expediti0nary cOrps-as all the French forces In
the country termed-is commanded by Marshal Ba-
zane, who has two divisions Of infantry and Of
cavalry under his orders
The Chief OF Staff is Colonel Osmont
Tho First division Is commanded by General Costaguy
and Brigadier Generals Aymard and De Maussion.
The Second division is commanded BY General OF Di-
Lherillier and Maugn.
The brigade Of cavalry is commanded by General Las

NcREAsE FRENCH PORCTH.
Within few weeks past q considerable number Of
French soldiers, thousand have passed through
Vera Cruz their way to the Interior and it s said that
large increase Is further expected to arrive Certainly
Judging from the unsettled state OF the country,
they will all be needed. There scarcely he said
70 be safety anywhere in Mexico, notwithstanding
the presence Of many Austrian French and Belgian
soldiers Within the past weeks the stages running
between Vera Cruz and the City OF Mexico have
thrice robbedtwce in the same place. On Tuesday Of
last week young Engshman connected with the rail
road while returning from Corova TO the terminus
Paso del Macho was attacked robbed and finally stabbed
10 death. His horse, clothing and whatever money and
valuables he had about hm seized by the gueras
and carried or The poor young fellow left the
road bthed in his blood. He found two hours
afterwards and conveyed to hospital but Of course
cannot survive his injuries The way the government
proposes 10 put down this murdcrons practice Of tho
gerillas 10 by leyying ne the inhabitants of the
neighborhood wherever stage may be robbed But I
fear until more desperate resorted all
such measures will be worse than useless The best
way TO prevent these r0bberies il strikes me,
is for every passenger who travels on the route
70 go fully armed and prepared TO defend his
liie and property But, fsa general thing, whenever
ance offered for fear that somebody should be hurt
The guerilas knowing this do not fail profit by the
fears Of travellers The stage that leaves To- morrow
am glad TO say will carry well armed passengers;
my only hope that we win escape attack being placed
this fact Among the passengers Is Signor Ma basso
Of the Italian Opera Company, which 70 give VI
musical season in Mexico.
xovKAEsrs or GKxxRAL BROWN
On the 3st OF May General Brown took formal posses
sion OF Brownsville behalf of the United States 60
vernment, as you are doubtless already aware. The
Mexcans-at least the atrencsad0s--arc delighted to
know that the Union general paid visit to General
Mejia, the imperial Mexican commander soon after his
arrival al his post Hearing that General Meja was
at Bagdad, General Brown and his staff at once
proceeded there and it s said well received The
French say that this shows that the American General
man who 'knows how TO live and desrous of being
on good terms with his neighbors He has done more
they say The Juarst party having depuation
welcome General Brown to serenads him and fecitae
him the return Of Union authority werc we are told
cody repulsed by being informed that the Genera could
not accept serenade, as II was against the rules OF
neutrality"
