France by the Minister of War. The Cessation of
the War on the Continent *Ns thrown a number of

quantum of phtisic and asthma, and the: probabi-
iitics of fractured sculls and br,:keri hones in every
Department. He need not send, however, any
Surgeon to Boulogne, for according to the French
accounts, our balls have lost their ;nit/riots qualities.
