The reorganization Of the army appears TO progress
very fatterngly some twenty battalons having
been already organized is noticed that In the ranks
arc found very large number Of foreigners but whether
sufficient number be raj ed by volunteer enstments
to m the vacancies occasoned by the departure Of the
foreign troops is very doubtful Conscrpuons will take
place In tho cities of Guadaajara, Mexico and Pucba
the 18th inst and the attending that effort will
60 far TO determine the public feeling Many officers of
the corps foreigners Of large experience Among
the new appontees Colonel Is Prince Salm Sam late
Brigadier of Volunteers United States Army. The
ported detection Of several prominent Mexican officers
has somewhat shaken the public confidence in their
tire reliability, and consequently goody share Of
foreign officers will be distributed among the troops
which will counteract any attempts that may be made to
induce them to desert the imperial cause.
