" And if the horrors of war still desolate tie ex tremities of Europe, if the misled portion of a neighbouring nation, agitated by laclions,. still mis take its true interests, you know, Gentlemen; that the cause must be sought for in the perfidious ma chinations of that Government, the enemy of Eu rope, which, repelled and menaced oh all sides, has no longer any thing but a single ',corner, where it is still able to fan the,tiame of discord and ot civil '! Englald blockades the ports of Europe; •she parade's upon the wig her ships, emery where the objects of reprobation ; she seeks openings for the prodnce of her manufaCtures, piled up in the vt.irehouses of her dismayed inhabitants. Her cri minal is rteognised ; her snares have lost their clh.et ; the nations at last know how to ap precia.e blab her fltal alliance and her disastrous se tv ices: .“ Amidst the calm which his Majesty has re-es. t , blighvci in the'empire arid in Europe, he is occu pied whir tOv . ainvlioration his tnaCii , e; nod Irs gc;nins siig ;eats to him efficaeifins for op poising in his eneniles ., Upon lq seas notri rous aniliwed like his'%;eteran and formidatite g with a desire ar last io conquer ;in univer s peleo.

" But in arm these vessels, .to equip them, his Majesty has felt that he stood in nee=d of sea. meu. These who at present man his squadrons would not be sufficient for the greatness of his plans) new means' are therefore necessary for sew views, 44 Commerce and the fisheries, which were wont tafernish seamen for the State, are at present too inconsiderable, and a new system must be forth with resorted to fur supplying the wants of the " At the voice of his Mijesty there issues from the maritime departments, a crowd of young men, who, being tit once sailors and soldiers, will chew themselves , worthy rivals of those who have raised so high the glory of the arms of the Empire. if We shall now unfold to you, Gentlemen, the 'basis of that Institution, from which his Majesty expetts the most advantageous results. " The Emperor has perceived that the, mode of conscription can alone procure lot the into ine those roe:tutus in men which it reqcires; but be has felt that t hi t , m oo could not be eV,tttdd through the whole of our territory,- for the inclinations of men are generally the fruit of their habits. Thus, the itthabilant of the:townisaf the interier never sees the sea or seamen; is stranger to that element, to that mode of life, he forms to himself only a monstrous idea of it ; be prefers the land service, for which the innumerable vidories of our armies have already excited his earliest enthusiasm. t , The inhabitant of the coast, on the contrary, from his earliest years is hearing the sea-service talked' of g while yet a child he . gambols in that element, upon which lie will Otte, day brat e the atom, end.the battle. 'Born on 'coasts adjacent to t h o se of the enemy, lie feels the necessity of defend ing them, bedtime lie has tri ported his farnily and his puiperty. Lie is 86telted mote than any other with the (Mill of re stance to ag6ression ; he is at once a tom and a citizen, " ft is from the maritime departments, then, that the marine must he recruited; it is riona the Pe of coasts that meta be made the telethon' of men destined to serve on the sea. " but the profession of the seaman is liable to so many vicissitudes end dangers, that it is necessary to commence it from the_ most tender age, when the organs arc ' the body flexible, an d h a bi ts ere contrattled without dittieulty, ft is necessary trait the triatilier Should be early accustomed to • and learn to face it with a smile. • Young s.adors shall therefore be selected at the age of from 13 to t 6 ; it younger, the State wou ld wait too long betore it enjoyed their scrvici • ; if older, tho physical constitution .of mail could only tie bent with difficulty to all the toils of sea tumidity. " Here it is our duty to communicate one of those flue thoughts of the Emperor—that of iohi. a c i ng from the present moment, these young con scripts, in the career which they are destioed to run. " His Majesty has formed crews for ships, and crews for flotillas. The former, composed of ex perienced ,mariners, will man the ships ; for the latter, his Ailojesty is fitting out in his ports small vessels, commanded 5161411 officers; can board which will be exercised in manccuvres, in steering, in the use ()farms, those young seamen, whom the Solatua COOSUlttltn, which we present, sunimons to time gi n our of serving their country, 0,0 DUN: Printed by R HARRIS, of No. 4, Mai Hint-clotur e how-streets And Pm at the SuroOyerott, No. 112, Stroud, wtaareditivertirements a Order' fi it Di;ehdess, Getitletven, the experience „whielo they will acqiiire ui the, reiftlaett,of the cieeds, and in the roads, will not bast.) erteat as that coMmuni eine(' by distant expeditiotis - ; bet they v. thus he familiarized with their'stare, they will see and ‘.t tit vanquish its ditficultiese they wet' acquire a tas:e for it, cvee in this way, that it wiii 'present to them obstacles which they will have to surmount ; and in a fe w y ears th e y will be fit to s , :tve a more useful manner on board the shie , . of his MAjesty.

Stan,—According to the. laws of our military organization, the totiticription shoirld be raised on the I+o of January, 181 I. I ItiwOfore SUIJIIIiI to your Majesty the projet of a Simatus Consultitm. " I haee not distinguished the conscription of this year -into aZtlive , end reserve contingents, be cause if appeared to me' that the intention of your Majesty was oely to make levies progressively, and initheeOerSeot the year. - • " In proportion as the new conscripts arrive un der their colours, an equal number of old soldiers ,must be sent back to their homes. A great many 'have already re-eoteted them, and your Majesty will take into your consideration the circumstances of the war in Spier and Portugal, in order to an thorise me to grant More:eor less dcfmuive dis charges. " The conscription is the basis of the prospe rity of France; it is that which, for so in my years, has removed far fiorn our tertitory the scourges of war. When your Majesty shall have concluded a ma ritime eleace, and shall be able to disband your armies, it will be equally necessary to raise, every year fi part of the conscription, for the purpose of maintaining the forces of your Majesty on a footing which is suitable to your Empire ; but I do nut .sireckcin that there will then be any necessity for more than a third of the conscription which I pro pose to raise at present, which will farm at the most wily one ninth of the Males liable to be called upon as conscripts, It is obvious, then, how much that contribution will he lightened—the first in import ance oft hose which the French owe to their country. The militia, which appeared a moderate institution, but which was aggravated by a multitude of exemp tions, weighed heavily on the nutlet) fitter the wars of Louis XIV. and even the wars of Flanders and Bohemia. ! - "'Thu conscription of 1811 will occasion eX , traordinary expences for the first clothing and equip ment, for the expellees of the march, &c. of so considerable a number of men.

The Duke of eaLTRE, " Atit,ister 91 War." The Report being read, Count Regnaud de Saint Joan D'Angely, spoke ai follows : " - Sattwrofts,—When his Majesty summoned under his eagles the conscriptkns of t ann and 1810' before the ordinary poriod, he announced vie.; tory and peace as the reword of the devotion of his young soldiers. ", The Emperor kept his word : he vangitished and paCified, without having any .need to antteipate again the period whoa it is the duty of Frendhmen suhjetit to the conbeription to pay their debt to their Country, " Time has brought round the return of thepe, riodic term, when a call must take place. , •< M the commencement of J tat, the Conscripts of that year must propare themselves to enter suc cessively. the ranks, -in order to replace either those brave men who have fallen in atle,. or the vete rarts who repair to the bosom of their familiei, car rying with them their glory, and seeking reposes) " The number raisqd on the anterior' conscrip tions has' been letr,uop min ; but the call has only been made to you successlkly, and with the dis tindion of immediate - destination anal that of, re serve: Even though the w hole of a levy equal to that „f preceding conscriptlona may not bu necessary at present, yet leis: nijesty hastbought that it was batter to placc It the disposal of bis (liner the number of conscripts eMployed in prece.iing years; • " They shall not be fot thwith called upon, hitt ‘uccessively, in virtue of deete:'s of his Majesty, and as often is they shall be 'wanted. No.augmentation of revenue will be necessary ; and the funds assigned by the budget of ' 1810 for that strike, or disposable for that of 18 1 1, will sot. fice for the expellees of these two years, and for all the In anchss ,of the service " To Inniptairk herself in an honotuable attitude, tO shi , w her Self. protealing or threatening in the eyes of her friends or her enemies, Fiance has no !iced, Gentlemen, of any nevretroit, or of any ex traordinary tact ifice. " For it is not thus that g e arc to designate the ivy of the conscription—a personal tribute, a pledge (lithe independen& of the po er and of the glory Of the empire, and which must, in time of peace as in time of war, be paid every year in a greater or a less proportion. " And the minimum of that proportion must always be even in peace, in a component ratio, first of the tesult of the ordinary mortality, and secondly, of the number of, discharges that are given. The number of discharges will then be that of a fifth of the army, if it should not happen Ina( a great number of Frenchmen prefer the military hte, in; glorious chances, and irs honourable dan gets, too repose or a labour of which they have got out of the habit. " These brave men thus voluntarily, and , for a time which o ft en emb r ac es th e durati o n of their lives, pay the debt of a part of their fellow-citi zens, at the same time that they form in ;LI the army that, inexhaustible reserve, that stock of old warriors, opcal hose example the new levies are formed, and who ensure victory. When reflecting on the exit of their devo tion, ott the dui as lin) of their sertices,what French- Man can heiitate . to join them, whe n he hears the voice of the, country which calls him, of she la w which commands him, ani at the glory which awaits him." 1 , ',41_,L of the BRINE at LAOFFEN ; With an account of the singular substitute !Or Bellows, at the Foadery there. Quitting Zurich upon the 30tli of August, wi proceeded oti our route to Schaffhausen, stoppng however on the way to see the falls of the Rhine at Labtfen, the sight of which far excedt'd my ex pectations, which had began to be leis sanguine than usual,'on the subject of cataracts, from the dis appointment experienced at the so undeservet4 vaunted fall of Argrenas, At !Adieu the 'body 'of 'water which rolls over the precipice, is great and magnificent ; while the rocks, over which it rushes,. are finely disposed, both for varying its drreetioti and agitating it waters : in addition to which, they are of a' height sufficiently great to produce a must, noble etted. We crossed the river at a small distance below this fall in a little skiff; and proceeded lroM the place of our landing, to a Chateau, belonging to the Canton of Zurich, which: stands on the summit of the bank, immediately above the -fall. From this situation the view of the whole is distina, and at the same, time inconceivably grand. From the Chtiteau we descended to a little wooden building, erected on the side, and indeed absolutely in the principal (all of the Rhine, from•whence the prospett was sublime' and terrific in an extreme de gree. The velocity with which the foaming tor rent dashed along, dazzled and confounded the eye; higher up an agitated ocean seemed ready to over whelm ; and, above all, a cloud of loam involving 'the whole, and obscuring all further view, added that cleg,reo of uncertainty and indistintiness, to vastness and danger, which always produce the most perfect effect. The fury of the torrent acting irregularly, threw into the stand, whereon we were stationed, large quanttes of water, which rendered our situation a little inconvenient, and not altogether comfortable; indeed it appears amazing how any building can sus tain the shocks to which \this little projection of wood is perpetually subje&ed. At no great distance from, and almost immedi ately under the fall, stand a koundcry and Ham. meting-house, with a considerable quantity pi Mill. work, built on the side of the river opposite to the Chateau. They use no bellows whatever in this Foundary, which is supplied with air from the waters of the I . l , hine, by it contrivance equally curi ous as useful. ' A canal or watercourse made at the edge of the iminediatelrabove the tails, conducts the ca ter to the trough, from whence it falls to W ork the Iron ails; at this placels disposed a wooden I;ipe, of about 4 or 5 inches diameter, through which as much water as can pass, , tunibles perpendicularly through a a(ite of 30 or 40 leek from tnence it rustles into a large barrel, which has a tube inserted into its upper end. By the violeriee of this fall a quantity of air which before engaged .arnong the particles.of the water, is extracted, and the whose barrel becomes .with 'this air . ,violently condensed, and also by the vapour of the water itself . . Ao.sperture is made iv Ore side of the sarrel . , close to the bottom, barely 'suffi cient to permit the passage of the water, which, as being the heavier fluid, warushout, while the air and vapour; which arethe lighter fluids, will remain uppermost, violently compressed and reedy'. for. use ; which 13 accomplish e d by means o f a BMA tube pas sing from thu upper, p.trt of the barrel to Abe for,. trace, thus affording a steady convet*ut, and toter- ably, powerftil blast. recolleEUon, I think it Lutist chiefly he the vapour of the water, which, rushing through the tube, serves as u blast for tile furnace ; in the same manner as vapour raised by means of fire in the Edipipe rushes out viith aAumilar effect, so I sup pose that bore the violence'ot the fall raises the yap nor in the same tiiilffiler. , r Qn the Tort the Dulie of Queensberry . wasTel' ct)liarly fortunate.
