This is all the really elreethe force composing . the Duke's corps 1 d'art's**.

Thus, therefore, the di vision of Lord WeLustorom cannot be calculated at beyond 70 or 80,000 meth On his left the corps of lit.trcusa commences. There are, it is believed, about 50,000 of the old Pruden army its Hoo t sad there are of the other states of Germany, under the orders of that General (Wirtembergers, Saxons, *seisms, Badeners, sad Beveriam), about 50,000 Imam.

Faure SCHWA RTINXIBRO,Who is ors his left, hasBo,ooo Austrians and upwards of 40.000 Landvrehr and fresh troops, reaching from Frankfort to Basle.— Thus, therefore, the whole force Naror.zos will have to contend with, certainly will not be found to atoned 300,000 men of all arms and nations. On the con trary,the French army is known to be at least 400,000 dross( in old sokliers,who have every man made several campaigns, and are actuated under the Triple Enthu siasm of fighting for their country, the indepentienee and absolute existence bf which they consider at stake —for their Chief, under whom they baronet believed themselves invincible, when treason was out of the comities ; and for their own honour, and indeed for themselvesindividually. The proscribingProciamations ofthe Allies having taught them to consider the con flict as a sort of Helium irdernecinam, a war of ex- 1 termination. It cannot be doubted but that these are strong stimulants, and we are convinced the event will bear os oat in the prediction, that mighty in deed will be the straggle. The French army is now composed of wholly French materials. The old revolutionary spirit is infused into it, and the object for which it will fight will be entirely French. Unlike the former unwieldy body which NAroLlost beforeled to conquest, he has not now a single man who is a stranger to the cause. The lapse of the Natal* Sakes is ardently burning in the heart of every in divides!. Recollections of the events of last year ; ermiety to wipe away what is considered a Alin toe French honour, pervades the whole. It is a - spirit by which every man is actuated, from the Marshal to the Drummer. Defeat would only create a fresh 'stimulus. That electric word—Liberty? will make every mane hero; end if there should arrive a neces sity for it, there can be no doubt but that the whole population of France will arise to repel what. is onivertally considered to be a barbarous aid uo, principled invades. fat us look a little at tom , heterogeneous mass of which the Allied Army is 1, 1 composed.

There were no marks of silence on the body, and he could not be drowned there by oc cident, mad although the presumption was that-he drowned himself, there was no proof to that effect, and for want of further evidence the Jury returned a verdict of—Found Drowned.
