On Tuesday French Papers' were received to the 19t1r
inst. bringing the Sixteenth and Seventeenth 3ulletins
of
the Grand Army. The first of -these documents is dated 1
Viaswa, Aug. Si, the latter from Gjhat, Sept. 30 both de-
tailing the progressive 'advance of 1:1:0.N.A 1' ART E towards 1

Prepared to renew the attack
,a fourth time, the Russian Ge-
neral had ordered a retreat, and left the French masters of
the town.

cate, that. the Conservative Senate had terminated their se-
cret deliberations with a consultrem for raising a new con-
scription of 120,000 men, in three successive levies of
40,000 each. Though the decree had not, as usual, been
published in the Bulletin of Laws and the Monircur, it
is stated, that orders had been expedited to the Military
