actually among the general army corps
of the Mexican army.
However, if any of these soldiers,
having knowledge of this circular, de-
sire to remain in the service of Mexico,
they are authorized to do so, and to re-
main in the same corps to which they
actually belong.
As to the first, whatever is their act
ual rank in the Mexican army, officers,
non-commissioned officers, or privates,
manifesting desire of disseminating in
Mexico; those who are yet attached to
the French corps will be transferred in
to the foreign legion, where they will
have their former rank.
As to others, they will be returned to
their country at the cost of the French
Government.
Consequently there will be made in
each Mexican corps report of all
Frenchmen serving in said corps, which
report will be forwarded to the Marshal
commanding, when each soldier will
have written opposite his name that

taken, if he is determined to remain in
the Mexican service.
Soldiers taking the first determine
ton will pass themselves to the nearest

which will offer itself.
This circular was sent to General
