CuY OF MEXICO, July 90 1866.
Great excitement had been occasioned in all the prnc
pal cities BY the order for draft TO fill up the lmpenast
army. The modes Of raising troops under the Republic
were voluntary enlistment ra which latter process
resembling the old English impressmen for the naval
making general, ndiscrminate "gobbe up" Of every
abebodied male TO put him ncontneDy into the ranks
to run away Of course the first suitable occasion.
In lieu Of this system the Emperor decreed draft con-
scrpton by lot with the usual provisions for exemption,
and also one for paying $500 to the Government for sub
stiute for drafted Neither fighting nor paying
money being fsvore occupation with Mexican towns

In Mexico and Pueba the 18th of July had been an
nounced the day which the lottery for the honor OF
bcsring arms to of. Before that day arrived

disciplined suced for thdesired increase Of the army,
the draft would only give them raw troops In greater
numbers than the service required.
The Estoes gave publicity TO some strange rumors IN
reference TO Gen. Amonte formerly the chief OF the mon
archca party In Mexico and head of the Regency prior to
Msxmiian's arrival in the country These r1mors were
