With regard to the cavalry, two brigades have still to be am- bodied, the barracks for their recaption not being yet finished. This, however, is! a matter of a few days. It is further stated that the establishment of thể mavalry is five battalions to one regiment and two regimenta to one brigade. Turning dow to the question of the "number of troopa actually under arms, in other words the number of men serving with the colours, "the Hochi gives the following figures,, bat does not claim. absolute accuracy for them since they and in every case somewhat below the reality. „
