The operations of the levy of 60,000 young men, for the Military Con ecription of the fourteenth year, which, according to the Imperial Decree of the eth Fruetidor, were not to commence till the I 3:h instant, have been ac celerated to such a degree, that in several De pertinent, they are already completed.

FROM TUE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS. OCT. O. For some time p.m, negociations have been en tered on between Prussia and several Princes, who have possessions in the North of Germany, relative to the establishment of an Armed neutrality, for that pan of the German ,Empire. Among the Chiefs who have already *e s ti their adherence to this mea sure, the Elector of Hesse, the Duke of Brunswick, the King of Denmark, under the title of the Duke of Holstein, the Princes of Mecklinburgh-Schwerin. Mecklinhurgh-Strelitz, and the Eleetor of Saxony, are mentioned. The first candition of this confederacy is, it is said, to prevent the di.oenelorkotial of all foreign troops, viz. the Swedish, Russian, and English, and to stop their passage through this part of Ger many. The Cabinets of St. Petersbnrgh and Stock bolts, are very indignant at this step; and it has augmented the coolness that has for some time reigned between them and the Co in of Berlin. It appears certain, that the part of Rostock. an I other maritime towns is Mecklinbargb, will be occupied by Prussian troops. It is said, the King of Denmark has eroged draw a line of troops along the fronti•!rs of H -Astern . At present, all the northern part of the Eleasatate of Hanover, viz. Cozhoven, Stad , , fiaotbourg, is nearly evacuated. VI/NNA, OCT. 4.

When the Austrians advanced into Bavaria, the troop's of the latter power retreated into the Upper Palatinate, and thence into Franconia. The most recent acLow.ts in the Paris Papers, state, that the Austiians are in possession of the whole of the U ► •per Palatinate, and that the Bavarian troops are posted along the Re•dnitz, in the distriel of Bam berg in Franconia. The Ist division of the Russian army was advancing from Bruna in Moravia, and the Austrian army was stretching to the North, in order to meet it. Meanwhile, the left wing of the French army was pushing forward to prevent the junction of the Russians and Aus trians, while it appe Ira to have been the objecet of the centre of tne Fiends army to take the Austrians in the rear. Accounts from Strasburgh of the Bth, state, that the advanced guard of &RN ADO ries army had arrived at WenPn, a post from Donau wen, and that a corps from the army of Marshal NEY, had occupied Dillengen, on the Neckar, be tween Donauwert and Ulm ; a body of Austrians, which had been stationed were, having retired to Augsburg. The piquets of Prince Musical's army had entered Westerstetten, wi:hin are or si x mile, of Ulm. These movements, and the advanced state f f the respeetive armies, must have. long since, brought on a battle ; and it was accordingly re ported yesterday, that an engagement had aelaally taken place at Augshurgh. lie renc:l force in Germany, including the Ba varian, Baden, and Wurtenburgh troops, is esti mated at 180,000 men.—[he whole Austrian force on the Westward of the Inn. is stated at 143,000, of which 511,090 are under Klenatt and Auffinberg, between Stockach and Ulm, and 40.000 beyond the Danube.

It is impossible that Prussia could have regarded the cenduCt of France with complacency ; but a re trospea of her past cold and selfish policy did not lead us to expeCt that the insult would have kindled so much of generous indignation in her bosom. Indeed, some accounts go so far as to state, that the King of Noss' A was apprised of the intended passage of the French troops through Anspach, and had given orders accordingly. If these ac counts be corral, the remonstrance of the Plus- St AK Mrsisr a a against that proceeding, and the shew of resistance made by the Prussian trcops, were only for the sake of appearances, and to save Prussia from the shame of having consented to that measure, at the moment when she professed a decided neutrality. A repor, however, prevailed on Saturday, that the King of Potent*, and several Prince. who have possessions in the North of Ger many, comprising the Princes of Mimesis' imams and Scuwaator, the Dukes of BRUIPIIMICIS and HoLST UN, and the Eleilors of Htsili end SaIIONT, have formed an Armed Neutrality, for the tepees purpose of preventing the landing of all Foreign troops, upon, and making their passage through, that part of Germany ; that in furtherance of this purpose, the maritime towns of Mecklinburgh will be occupied by Prus►ian detachments, and that the King of Dar:NARK, as Duke of Hor.srain, has en gaged to draw a cordon of troops along the Iron tiers of that country. This report, which was propagated upon the authority of letters from Ham burgh, has been since corroborated by French papers of the 10th, of which we have received several lets. Had the French Papers stated the date of this armed neutrality, they would be decisive of the condue which Prussia meant to pursue. Their silence, there fore, in that particular, leaves the quessio• open to . . eonjoanre ; an:*. as the passage of the Frcich trot plt through Anspach; tbt irseasure which is 'apposed to have given this new turn to the Prussian politics, took place so late as the 31 inst. it is very probab'e that the agreement betw:en that poem sad the several Princes before mentioned, to prevent the passage of the Russian troops through the North f Germany, was antecedent to that aggs ession. The Ministerial Prints, with which originated this rumour. of the determination of Prussia to grant alive passage to the English and Russian tro sps, still continue to assert the correaness of thir information —, We have stated the grounds upon wliich we are un able to contradia it, but we must. at the same time, confess, that th .ir past conduct dues not en title them to extraordinary en ifidence. About the end of September they published an article, put poring to be the outline of a Manifesto, to be is. sued by the confederate powers against France, pre vious to the commencement of h ; accord ing to whit-, a new kingdom was to be cut and carved out of Europe, for the Head of the Bona- BONS. They next asserted, the I.:tenor of B•Y Ael A had joined Austria with all his forces ; and s:arcely had the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange time to digest that, whoa they were desired to swallow another piece of similar intelligen, and assured, that the Ele c tor of Ba Des v had Allowed the ex ample of Bavaria. All these reports, vouched repeatedly in the Ministerial Journals. as posi tive and official intelligence, have since been slit proved by faCti. The :Manifestoes of Austria and Ilussia have been published, and they do not contain one stipulation respeCting the unfortunate, but still illustrious. Bona BONS ; and the armies of Bavaria l i and liadcn, are now under the banners of BONA. PA RTE. D the Ministerial Prints, then, mean to insinuate, that Government is badly informed I or. are we to presume, that they receive no information horn the Treasury, but the refuse, to which Goma m-nt attaches neither credit. value, nor importance? We have been induced to make this observation, by an anxiety for the dignity of the Government, and the charafter of the country. It is disgusting to fiad every story and fabrication, vouched upon the au tLority of Government, in the Ministerial Prints, for the paltry purpose, at best, of acquiring for thernselv:s a degree nt imports ice in public estima tion, whica they do not deserve. It appears that the Rochefort squadron have not yet returned into port, and that, by shifting their cruising ground, they constantly elitde our look-out squ tirms. Letters from the Ranter, of 18 guns, cli ed'at sea, received at Plymouth, last Thursday, slate h.r being nearly captured by the Rochefort sq sairen, of three sail of the line and four frigates, cruising off the S.W. coast of Irel.tnd, dire!tly in the track of our homeward and outward-bound con. vnys. Finding, by their strange signals, that Chey were enemies, she changed her course, and escaped in the night. Previous accounts represented the Rochefort squadron at five sail of the line. The other two are, therefore, probably gone to cruise in some other latitude. We are happy to as a nance the safe arrival of t'se Eagle man of war, with the Halifax coavoy, after ill passage of 40 days.

Some vessels have cleared out for Hamburgh di re& in consequence of the suspensin, of the block ade of the Elbe.—Tonningen will suffer materially by that measure. No alteration has yet taken piece as to the point of lauding the German Mails, in consequence of the removal of the French from the banks of the Elbe.
