We have advice from Rousillon that there were 10,000
young conscripts under orders to enter tipain, hat that
they had been countermanded; and it appears that they
will confine themselves to the defence of their own ter-
ritory, in case of an invasion being attempted by the
Spaniards. The inhabitants of Bousillon are dissatisfied
with the infamous conduct of the French troops in Spain.
They are determined not to submit to the terrible con-
scription demanded by Bonaparte ; and assert, that it' the
Spanish troops Mould: enter their country, respecting
their persons and property, they will with the greatest

towns arc sending into the interior their money and move-
