JUNE 7.

The Paris Hip:2l-s womb ;;:ivcd on Tuesda) , ;ire filled
with details of military mo% ements and preparikions. The
French Emptitou seems to be yawing together his utmost
resources to meet the exigencies of war in Poland. The
Neapolitan coati- pent, consisting of 12 or 13,000 men,
had received orders on the 27th of April, to march for
the North. Their arrival was not expected before the end
of the present month. "rhe moving bodies of troops, SCCTI
through the n ediurn of the French Journals, shine in all
the glitter of a birth-day procession. By way of contrast
to these inflated descriptions, we find in the same Papers
the following awkward ;acknowledgment of the degree of
willingness ;.hown on the part of the unfortunate con-
scripts :
PARIS, NIAY `_.6.—The Tribunal of the first Recor for the depart-
ment of the -.eine has c undemned fifty-nine refractory conscripts; and
has also fined thei: parents, as civilly responsible, one thowiand five
hundred francs each.

el'he letters brought by the Anholt Mail cr,neur in re-
pre,^nting the hostile pi eparations of the Russians to he on
the most formidable scale. Their advanced army, under
the command of General BRAGATHION, is stated to con-
sist of 300,000 men; but there can be little doubt that this
number is much exaggerated. They have, it is said,
cc mpletely cleared the country of all the dispoai)l.- vain
and forage. In consequence of this, the greatest .carci:y
prevails among the French troops; and the recent embargo
laid on all the ports of Russia, to prevent the sliliug of
vessels laden with corn to the coasts in poisession of the
enemy, has tended grealy to increase their difficulties in
this respect. It is therefore believed, that a vigcrous
effort will shortly be made to gain possession of the im7
rnense magazines which are placed in the rear of the
Russian army; and the success of such an attempt is mat-
ter of serious apprehension. BUONA PARTE, according to
the last accounts, had left Dresden to head li;s forces in
Poland, without further delay.

lin offer of the recovery of Finland, and the conquest
of Norway, is stated to have been made to Sweden,
through the medium of M. SMNEUI., Envoy at the Court
of France, provid-d she would unite herself to that Power.
This offer, we are told, was immediately rejected. By
subequent accounts we learn, that a repnrt had gained
prevalence in Stockholm, that the conquest of Norway
was meditated by the Swedish Government, and that the
attempt would very soon be made.
We recommend to our Readers the following exhorta-
tion of the late pious and wise Bishop of LONDON, which,
though delivered thirty-four years ago, will appear pecu-
liarly apposite to the present domestic state of the king-
dom It is in times such as these that we look for
those noble examples of self-denial and public spirit,
which bespeak the true greatness of mind—which Lave
sometimes saved kingdoms and immortalized individuals.
Let, then, all the wise and good, in every party and de-
nomination of men among us for they are in every one
to be found), stand forth in the present exigency as one
man, to advise, direct, assist, and befriend their country;
and as the Roman Triumvers gave up each his friend for
the destruction of the State, let every one now give up
his favourite prejudices, systems, interests, resentment,
and connexions, for the preservation of it. Let us not_
for God's sake, let us not—waste that time in tearing
and devouring one another, which ought to be employed
for the general welfare. Unjust suspicions, uncandid
interpretation,, mutual reproaches, and endless alterca-
Itt.ms, can'answer no other purpose, but to embitter our
aud.multiply the very evils we all wish to remove."
