It is rumoured is the French camps that the Raw

having been brought to a favourable cooolusion. The
French have received orders to prepare lists of all

continuance of the war are at an aid, or the power
which the law permits of prolonging the term of eon-
acription when neoseserz, on foreign service, would
be certainly used in maintaining the strength and
