PARIS, OCT. 6.—The levy of the Conscription of 1806. has had, in the Department des Forets, a sticcesa as complete as that of former years, On the 20th of ,September there set out from Luxem hiirgh a detaChme n t o f 268 Conscripts, all- 91 full stature. The second - detachment of 45 followed immediately. - The Contingent is complete, and the Department will not have to furaish any more men. The Mayors have shewn the greatest, zeal, and the Conscripts correfiness, docility, and good will. At their departure.they were accompanied to the glacis of the place by the Mayor and the. Departmental Guard, and their adieus were repeated cries of Five' l'Empereur et Roi. The Council of Recruiting for the Department of Loiret opened its Sittings on the :nth of September, .according to the terms of the Imperial Decree. • All the - preliminary operations relative to the levy of conscripts thr 1806: were terniinated ; and on the 16th of the same month, obit of, its contingent, amounting to 405 men, 160 were marched off for the Regiments recruiting in .that Department. The council then moved to the chief places of the Sub- PrefeCtures, to continue the examination - of con scripts claiming their discharge ; and bet Ween . the 27th and auth of September. the whole contingent of the Department of Loiret was furnished and marrli:A off. The levy o f c onscr i pt i on was e ff et St e d i n t h e De partmant of Vauchise with much celerity. By the 22d 65 September all the conscripts were in full tnarch to join their respe6tive corps. This levy was effeated lA4 only with promptitude, but also with extreme facility. The levy-of 'conscription for 1806 was -complete ly terminated on the 25th of September, in the 'Department `of Mont Blanc, by the departure from the chief place of the last detachment of the con scripts which were to be furnished to the a&ive Army, and consequently without the pzescribeal dela) s. . The operations of verifying the lists and designa tions commenced on the 18th of August, and the Frefect, accompanied by- the Captains of Rec;laiting, heteen that day and the 4th of September, went successively through the 6lvaen Cantons which form the vast (Agri& of Chain berg, consisting of rough and uneven vallies separated from each other by distances requiring journies of four or five hours, itaorder to preside in person at all the first Opera tions, at which the greatest tranquillity prevailed. All the Civil and Military Functionaries, whose business it • *as to assist in this iinpOrtant business, 'rivalled each other in zeal, and the colastriptrimde votion, with such success that we cannot reckon this year upon any refraaory person in Mont Blanc. The 400 destined for the alative Artily have all correctly "answered to the appeatof honour.

Thus, in a short time, there will be no longer any French troops in thbge two Circles, as 'their force will be assembled in the course of eight . or ten days in Franconia and the Upper Palatinate. It is thought that immedi ately on the war breaking out, the French troop s will rapidly ocenpy . the Margraviate of Bayreuth, in order to advance front thence by the "Voigtland against the Army of Prince BonanvaonE: The Division of Marshal NE-a is alsb marching fronallranconia.

A fetter from Bratinati, of the'r i st, df Sept. states as follows Hitherto - the greatest tranquillity has prevailed here. The' works which' were adding to our fortifications Were some time since on a sudden uspended. There is` not; hoWever, any longer any talk of surrendering the'place to the Austrians, and it is thought that it will continue to be occupied by French troops even after the Grand Army shall, have quitted .Bavaria."‘ is natural enough that it should be asked in all the South of GOmitny, Whatsystem will be ptirsued the Court of Vienna under existing circum stances ?—lt may be said in reply, according to the most atithentic infbrniation, that the system of that Court is very pacific. It cannot be dissembled that Russia and Prussia, as well as England r have, in the course of a few weeks past, made very brilliant offers.to the - Emperor of Austria ;* but they w_ere re jeiied—and all the letters from Vienna state 'in the formal • maniier that the Court of Vienna has declared to those of.

WALY.ACHIA, SEPT. 8.--The two lidspodars of Moldavia. and Wallachia, Princes , YPSILANTI- and MoNxusp, having been accused by the. Grand .Seig nior .of keeping up a secret intelligence dangerous to the Porte, and contrary to its plans, and those of its Allies, orders were given to strangle them both. Meanwhile old YPSILANTI, the•father of the Hospo dar of Wallachia, who was first Dragoman to the Porte, learnt the Sultan's intentions, and wrote to his son a letter, which contained only the follow in.- words I have escaped from Constantinople - 2 fiy_ quickly also, if you' wish to preserve your head:"—The Prince, on receipt` of this letter, did not lose a moment in preparing for his departure. He colleEted his treasures, assembled the Officers of his Household on whose fidelity be could rely, put himself at the head of 2000 men who are devoted to him, and set out, accompanied by his Wife and dren. The Hospodar left Bucharest at mid-day, seated with his family in a carriage drawn by six horses, before and behind which, was a cannon loaded with grape-shot. His Grand Marshal com manded the rear-guard. This novel and unexpected event produced a most extraordinary sensation, even in this Country, where catastrophes are common. The,l3oyards, at first surprised and alarmed; began at last to conjecture the motive of their Sovereign's departure. • They hastily collected their VassalS, and some of the Militia of - -the Country, and assembled in a tumultuous manner to demand of the Hospodar • the cause of his abrupt departure. They required at the same time that he should immediately alight, and remain among them. YPSILANTI, however, who is a man of decisive ,charaaer, and who knows how to awe a multitude by . firmness, mounted a led, horSe which accompanied his carriage, .and, draw ing his sabre, exclaimed with an impressive voice—. " Wretches ! am I not your Prince ! Here is My sceptre," waving his sabre, ".• disperse instantly, or your heads shall roll under the feet of my horses.", The Boyards, panic struck; immediately opened a passage for him, and the intrepid Hospodar arrived safely with all his followers and baggage at Kron stadt, a strong and considerable town in Transylva nia, whichis chiefly inhabited by a Colony of Saxons',: On reaching that place, he placed his wife, his four children, and his property, under the proteaion of the Austrian Military Commander, and dismissed all his brave escort except 200 men. He then pro ceeded' With---a few attendants to Hermanstadt, where he had a conference with the Governor of the. Province. His plan, we under Stand, is to pro ceed to Russia, where the Hospodar Pt' Moldavia will follow, him. . By the Treaty concluded about two years ago between Russia and the Porte, it was. stipulated pn the part of the latter, that both these Hospiadars shOuld retain their authority for at least seven years. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. - FRANCHINI, j1111..11 appointed Chancellor to the French Embi , g9y for Italy. , To , morrow .the Austrian Chancery will deliver to him •that part of their archives which re lates to the affairs of Albania -and Dalmatia. Ge neral SERASTIANI, the French AMbassador, has no tified to the Austrian Internuncio, M. STORMER, that he was authorized to requirepossession of the Venetian. Palace, which at present is the residence of the Austrian Embassy. He signified, however, at the same time, that he would not hurry the Em bassy out of 'it'immediately.—The Russian frigate which was here lately has sailed for Corfu.—lt has been remarked, that the order for deposing the HOspodars 'of Mokiavia- and Wallachia soon ed file...

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 30.—A1l the French troops ,Which pass through this place take the route to As diatlenburgh ; but it is remarked that they carefully avoid the Hessian territo r y. A ccor di ng to the move ments of the Grand Army it appears, if war should break out, that Sdxony will be. the first theatre of it. O• • ' ", • In "is a curious circnnistance that BONAPARTE left Paris to put himself at the head of his Army the very - same day this year that he ,departed' from his capital last year, to march;against the Ausitians, namely ; on the'24th of September. '• Whether the result•of the: War will be. as disastrous, for PruSsia as it was then to Austria, a very short period determine ; but it seems as if BolgiipAaTE antici pated the same success, by chosing the same day for his departure, and he will no doubt state the CIPCLIUMiIaIItiC to his soldiers, •as if ominous of their gaud 'fortune, 'POETRY.
