to Obtain an explanation, which was sure to be re-
quired of you, Of the shipment in France of large
bodies Of troops to Mexico after the purpose to
withdraw her whole army had been officially pro-
claimed. To this his Excellency replied, that
since seeing me he had gotten from his colleagues
of the Marine and War Departments information to
the purport that no troops belonging to the Corps
Expeditionaire had been sent to Mexico this year,
unless for the sake OF partly replacing soldiers
missing, but, at any rate, without augmentation
of the number of standing troops; that the ship
ment OF troops referred to in the public prints and
in your dispatch was most likely that made in the
transport Rhone about the beginning Of the year;
that this Rhone touched at Martinique, but not
and not 1900 soldiers; that they belonged to the
Foreign Legion, and not to the Expeditlonary
Corps; that they consisted of troops which had
been waiting transportation long time in rance
and in Algeria to join their regiments; that no new
troops had been enrolled for the Foreign Legion
draw his flag from Mexico; and that no more,
for what he knew, were intended to be en-
rolled. In regard to the shipment of troops from
Austria, he said that that was an affair entirely
which France had nothing to do that since mad
spoken to him on the subject he had verified his
own convictions by reference to the Ministers OF
War and Marine, and had ascertalned that no en-
gagements of any sort had been entered into by
either for the enrolment or transportation OF
troops from Austria to Mexico. He went on
further to say that it was the intention Of the
Government to withdraw the army entirely from n
Mexico within the time specified in bis dispatch to
you at the very latestsooner if climate ana o otner
controlling considerable Ms permitted; and 1t was
not it's intention to replace them with other troops
from any quarter. At the conclusion OF q long
conversation, of which have given the important Pc
results, expressed my satisfaction with His ~ E1,
have % in communicating them to my Government.
This dispatch has been submitted to NJ. Drouyn
de L'huys and the foregoing version Of the results
of our conversation has been approved by him.
