This comparative ftatemetrt of the forces of
the concerting Kings, eppofed, to the num
bers which France may bri^into the field, is
extracted from an eßay on'that fubjed, lately
published at Paris, by 10 ingenious geogra
phical writer, M. BRANNENfrat,
“ France contains „,bco;ooo of inhabi
tants.,
“ The number of the niale citizens be
tween 16 and zo years of age is ten millions ;
that of its adive citizens, and sons of active
citizens—4,3oo,ooo inactive.
66 The number of persons capable of beat
ing arms, is 6,700,000—2,880,000 # of
whom are active citizens —3,800,900 inactive.
"The regular army or France consists of
250,000 men.
" If the french, who will defend their liber
ties, were to decimate themselves, that is, if
one in ten' Capable of bt,. ing arms, marched
against the common enety,France would have
an army 0'670,000 men. _;
" The aaual forces of the powers ^qalefced
against France are,
1 Atfria, - - - 200,000
Prussia, ^ - - 183,000
The contingent of the empire, 4.0,000
Naples, - - 50,000
Sardinia; • - - 30,000
Tufeany, - - 6,000
Total 509,000
" Supposing the powers have occasion to
guard their immense territory, of which the
extent is 21,562 fpuare German miles, 15 to
the degree, and to keep in awe from 38 to 40
millions of people, the inhabitants of this
country, who are ready to revolt.
" Supposing they arc obliged to keep at
home, only halt of th^^#r<M>p<, it will follow,
that all the force which these powers can bring
against France„ will be 250,000.
The department of Paris also contains
100,000 active citizens, *140,000 inactive :
among whom are 180,000 men capable of
bearing arms, 80,000 actives, and 100,000

ENGLAND.
LON DO N, August 16.
The new constitution of France, as it now
stands, may be called ;he devil upon two
flicks, that is, on one fide the National As
sembly, and on the other the Jacobin Club;
so that whether one or the other gives way,
down drops this mass of wickedness and folly.
The trade of France is at present rebellion—
its manufaaures are treasonable clubs—its sta
ple commodity riots—-its legislature a mob—
its laws a nonentity—its navy without sailors
—its army without officers—its King without
authority—its people without control —its re
ligion atheism—its God plunder—and its con
stitution a butt of ridicule to all the world.
Its once admired pofitenefs is converted into
barbarism ; and its humanity changed to the
most wanton ads of cruelty—The assassin is
applauded by the lenate—and the female pros
titute is legislatively commended.—This is a
faithful description of that model of govern
ment which our clubs of reform in England
recommended to the people, but which the
people spurned at.-——[^ ^ britiJb Democrat
ical exaggerated Pasquinade /£*]
There are 130 persons in prison for the bu
siness of the ioth—there is a very great prob
ability that they will all be put to death, as no
doubt they will all be found guilty of- —FI
DELITY to the King.—Among ' the viaims
are several noblemen or this country.
The King is treated with infinitely lefsre
fpeft than our Charles was in Corj^ro^-
caflle; not a letter is banded to him without
having been previously read by Santerre
or Petion, the Mayor of Paris, nor is he per
mitted to make use of pen and ink, but is in
every sense a state prisoner, treated with un
common rigour— 3000 men are digging the
foffe round his tower.
The Queen, it is observed by a person who
has the honour of approaching her, weeps
without ceafog, her great **R teems to have
abandoned her, hot can her sister in law «d
--minister the cbnfolation she herfelf so much
stands in need of.

TRANQUILITY in the WESTINDIES.
A letter from the municipality of Portde
paix to trie colonial assembly of &. Domingo,
infetted ^\ a:Capefrancois paper of the 9th ult.
contains an agreeable account of the cordial
reunion of the people of colour, free blacks
and whites in that quarter. Irfays,
" The.citizens of Portdepaix hale effected i
reform in the national guard, and have com
posed the two firft companies of an equal
portion of white and coloured citizens ; offi
cers have been chosen, apportioned in the —
fame manner.—These two companies have
sworn, under arms, to forget the old causes ,
of diffention, and have promised to denounce
those who, by their anions or conversation
Should endeavour anew to create disturbances.
“ They afterwards went to M. Vin
cent's a free negro, and wealthy proprietor,
Captain of the second company, who gave
them a splendid entertainment, at which M.
Casamajor, the municipal officers and a
number of citizens white and of colour affix
ed . Good humour was also one of the guests,
patriotick toasts were drank, and the advan
tages of a cordial reunion were sung.
" The Tame evening, M. Collas, Captain
of the firft company, gave a ball. . Several
white ladies, as well as of colour assisted ;—
the municipality, M. Casamajor, the offi-'
cers ofthe troops of the line and of the na
tional navy, the grenadiers of the ift regi
ment, and a great number of citizens of every
class, formed a crowded, company.
" All was harmony and cordiality, and an
excellent supper concluded the feie.—— The
company separated late in the evening, well fa
tisfied with the pleating effe&s of this friendly
meeting, and fully persuaded, that nothing
but unanimity and a friendly union of all elaff
es ot citizens can save the colony."
