Panrs, AUG. 6.—The English Ambassador, Lord
LAUDERDALE, . accompanied by two Secretaris, and
BASILICQ, the Messenger, arrived on the 3d inst. at
Calais, - and yesterday in this 'Cipitla.
An .lsperial Decree, dated the 3d of this month,
ordains a levy of 50,000 conscripts, taken from the
80,000 authorised to be plced in a state of activity
by the Decree of the 2d Vendemiaire,' year 14.—
They will be divided among the different Corps of
the Army. The 30,000 Conscripts remaining from
the 80,000 will form the Reserve of the year 18136-.

The Official Journal, on the occasion of this mea-
sure, contains the following note :
c' The Senatus Consultum of the .S.'d Vendemiaire,
year 14, placed at the disposal of Government the
Conscription of I 806. Thu third Coalition appeared
under such an aspet, that the levy of 80,000 men
seemed then necessary to support the glory of the:
Throne, and to defend the dearest interest of the
Country. But before the end of the month of Ven-
Aemiaire, the success at Ulm had given such an ad-
.vantage to our arms, that the Emperor considered
the cal *g out the Conscription of 1806 as unne-
cessary,' and confined himself to calling •ut the Re-
.
"serve,

. .
"'At present/a, t 4 80,000 men of the Conscrip-
tion of 1406,...,. the EFipetor has judged that the call.-
fig 6# :of Afly„,thousand- is necessary. If, as every
thipg leads to iioe, the affairs of the Continent'are
about to be settled, these-50,000 'men will serve to
repace the soldiets'whe shall receive their discharge,.
anclfreinrn to their families. If, on the contraryi
- •
which fhere is no reason to think, the period of the
repose of the Continent is not yet arrived, these
50,0'60 men, by completing the different Corps on
the War footing, will carry the .French Army to its
highest degree, of strength.
"In any event, then, this levy is necessary- Even
if we had enjoyed profound Peace, we, should al-
ways have called out, not 50,000, at least 40,000
men. Since the last review 20,000 men have been
discharged; and by the result of the reviews ,of this
year, it,is-probable that an equal number will again
return to their: homes.

Noshing, therefore, ought, to be inferred fa-
vourable either to War or to Peace, from this ope-
ration, which is almost annual. It is done at the
ordinary period; sufficiently late for the harvest be-
ing finished, sufficiently soon to enable the young
then to join their Corps before the unfavourable sea-
son commences, and to perfect themselves in discir
pline during the winter."

The Moizitetfr .of this day contains the following

article :

" General ',minim:4 has written from Ragusa,
under date.oftlae -15thluly, -that that City enjoyed
the. most profound trauqUillity, and that its terri-
tory Was quite free from Brigands. He adds, that,
during the whole period of the blockade and siege of
-Ragusa, he had only 40 men killed, and 120 wound-
ed. He praises the behaviour of his Troops and the,
zeal of the native 3."
The Moniteur also Communicates the list of pm.
motions of the brave men who distinguished them-
selves at Ragusa and before Gaeta.

The Holy Crown of Thorns, which was given to
Sr. Louts, in 1238, by BMIDOUIN, Emperor, of
Constantinople, and which happily has been pre.
served amidst the religious profanations which have
marked our Revolution, will be transferred with all
possible solemnity into the Metropolitan Church of
Paris, on Sunday the 10th instant: Plenary indul-
gences will be given to the pious who may assist at
the ceremony, with the requisite qualities.

RAIIIII3OII, AUGUST 1.-... This day. M. ELCHER,
Chirge-d'Affaires of France, remitted to the Diet
the following Note :

" The Undersigned, Charge-d'Affaires of his
Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of
Italy, at the General Diet of the Germanic Ein‘Pire,
has received orders -from his Majesty to mahe.the-
foilowing declarations :
Their-....lVlajesties the
,Kings of BAVARIA and
lATllO'imiftueon, the Sovereign Princes of BAT'S-
IION,'Of BADEN, of. HESSR DARMSTADT, of NASSAU,
and the other principal Princes of the South and
West of Germany, have taken the resolution to
forni among themselves a Confederation, wh le places
there iii safety from all the uncertainties of the. future,
and they have ceased to. be States. of the Empire.

"The situation' in which the Treaty of •Presburgh
plaCed direetly. the .Courts to' France:, slid in-
dire Sly the Princes ‘liom tiley surround, *and),Fliti
are their neighbours, being 'incompatible with 61'e
condition of a State of the Empire, it became ne-
cessary for those Courts, and for the Princes, to.,ar-
range on a new plan the system •Of their relations,
and-.to cause to disappear an inconsistency which
would have been a permanent source of agitation,
Of inquietude, and of danger.
`"On . her side, France, so essentially interested
di maintaining the Peace of the South of,Qermany,
and who could not doubt, that the moment when
;he shouki.have,..caused her Troops to repass the

Rhine, disLotil, an inevitable consquence of .relyz.
elms contradiCtory or Uncertain, ill_ defined and ill
understood, Would have exposed, to new danger the
repose of nations, and again, perhaps, havelighte4
up a war upon the 'Continent : bound, besides, to
promote..the.i welfare of her Allies, and to enable
them to enjoy all the advantages which the Treaty
of Presburgli secured to them, and which she had
guaranteed, France could only see in the Confedera-
tion which they have formed a natural consequenc,
and necessary completion of that Treaty.
" For a long time successive changes, which
have gone on augmenting frOrn age to age, had re-
duded the Germanic Constitution to be only a
shadow of itself, Time had changed all the rela-
tions of grandenr and of strength which origin-
ally existed among.:. the Members of the Confe-
deration, and between each of them, and Abe.
whOle of which they made.a Part. The Diet :bad
ceased tohave a will that belonged to itself The'
sentences of-the Supreme Tribunals could not be
put in execution. Every thing attested an enfeeble- '
ment, so great, that the federation tie no longer
presented any guarantee, and, among the powerful,
was only a cause of dissention and discOrd. The
events of the three Coalition's carried thii enfeeble.-
Anent to its utmost length.. One Electorate has been
suppressed by the union of Hanover wiih.Prussia ;
a Northern Power has incorporated with his other
States one of .the Provinces of the Empire;
Treaty of Presburgh has assigned to the Kings .of
BAVARIA and WIRTEMBURGH, and the Elector of
BADEN, the plenitude of Sovereignty i—a preroga-
tive
,which the other EleCtors would claim, arid be,.
entitled to claim, but which could accord neither

with the spirit nor the letter of the Constitution of
the Empire.

" His Majeity the EMperor and King is, there-
fore, obligecrto declare, that he acknowledges no'
longer the existence of the Germanic Constitution;
at the same time, nevertheless,' recogniz,ing the en •
tire and absolute Sovereignty of every. one of the
Princes of whose States Germany at this day con-
sists) and preserving with-them the same relations-as
with-the ether independent Powers of Europe.
" His Majesty-the Emperor awl Kind has U 4.
cepted the,title of 'Protector of the Confederation of
the Rhine. He has done so only from pacific.views,
and that, his rtnediation, constantly interposed be-
tween the weak and the strong, may prevent every
kind:9f dissektion and 4Sorder.
" Having thus. done enough for. the dearest in-
terests of his people and of his neighbours—having
provided as much as lay in his power for the fu-
ture tranquillity of Europe, and in particelar for
the tranquillity of Germany, which has been con-
stantly the theatre of wari--in putting a period to
the contradi&ion which placed the Nations and the
Princes under the apparent proteetion of a System
zeally contrary to their political interests and their
•Treaties,--his Majesty the Emperor and King holies
that the Nations of Europe. will at length 'lend a
deaf ear to the insinuations of those who «wish to
cherish eternal War upon the Continent; that the
French Armies which have passed the Rhine, Shall
have passed it for the last time ; and that the Peo-,
pie of Germany will see no longer, in the hiStory.of
the past, any thing but the horrible pi&ure .of dis-
orders of every kind, of devastations, and of Inas-.
nacres, which War always brings in its train..
" His Majesty has declared, that he would never
extend the boundary of France beyond the Rhine
he has been. faithful to his promise. At present,,bii
only:desire is to be able to employ the, means yrs4o
Providence has entrusted to. him,. for the purpAsepf
asserting the Liberty of the Seas,. 9f 'restoring-to
Commerce its Liberty, and securing the repose and,
happiness of the world.
" Ratisbon, Aug. r, 1206. (Signed) «BA CHER."

The Kings of BAVARIA and Of WIRTE/tMRGH,
the Eleetors ARCH-CHANCELLOR and of BADEN,
the Landgrave of HESSE, the Prince of HOHENZOL.•
I.ERN, the Prince of SALM KYRBOURG, and the
Prince of YSENBOURG, have this day sent a De-
claration to the Diet, in which they renounce the
Germanic Union,. and announce their resolution to
form among themselves a new Confederation, under
the guarantee of the Emperor of the FRENCH.

STUTGARD, .7ut.v 29.-'-.The march of, French.
Troops through this neighbourhood is without re-
Mission'. They generally take the route of Ulm and
Dettingen. A small division of cavalry-passed by
this place to-day, and dire6ted its course towards
Tubingen. Other Troops are in full march for Ba-
varia.
,Last night there were a thousand men at
Esslingen, and several thousand at Canstadt, and in
its environs, from whence they wilt this day con-
tinue their march. The advanced guard of the,
Troops under,General LEFEBVRE had arrived there
on the 26th,

Intelligence is received from Fribourg, in the
Brisgau, that the great number of Frencl't Troops
which, were, in' these Countries requiring-":r much
larger quantity of corn and hay, the prohibition
to purchase miltary forage has been.necessarily re-
newed.

The reports 'of:a Continental War are renewed,
though we cannot trace them to any authority. It
is certain:however, that the Commandant of Hu-
ningnen has received orders, 'by a Courier Extraor-
dinary, to send off, with all possible dispatch, all the
'disposeable force in.. that 'place. In consequence,
300, men immediately passed the Rhine to join their
respe&ive Corps: It is also said, that a similar order
has been given along the whole line, and that his
Majesty the Emperor and King. is expected in a
short time at Strasburgh.
VrosNA, Jui,y 26.—The prosecution of General
11/lAcl every day becomes more and more intricate:
.He has accused:tnost of the Generals who served ud—
der bin.), and they have been ordered hither.
HAMBLIRGH, AUG. s.—For some time a very
great fermentation has reigned in Swedish Poineiaz
nip ; those who are injured by the new order of
things loudly express their discontent. On the other
hand; the inhabitants of the Country are very well
satisfied, villenage • having been very oppressive
in that Country, even more so than in any part"
'of the Prussian% States. -The king, since he suc-
ceeded to the throne, has been frequently petition-
ed by the .States to receive the performance of
fealty and homage as Duke of POMERAN/A ; but
Ills .Majesty has constantly postponed satisfying this
desire, .under various pretexts. However, the King
will now take' the oath as King of Sweden, and the.
Queen is expeEted for this purpose at. Stralsund.
There' has been much talk .of the , change's that
.have taken place at St. Petersburgh ; what is cer-
tain is, that .M. and Mad: DE NARISCIIKIN have
quitted the Court.
VZNIC&, JULY 12..-7—On the toth inst. the FrenCh
Troops, commanded by General SERAS, were em-
barked ; and the, same evening the Flotilla, com-
posed of forty small Transports, under the convoy
of one Corvette, two Brigantines, and one Frigate,
set sail under the French Italian Flag. The num-
ber of Troops on board is more than .5000, %rho
will be slisenabarked in Dalmatia, in order to
,rein-
force the Army there. In the room of the division
of SERAs, there will arrive in 'lstria two Regiments
from Frioul, forming part of the. Army commanded
by Gen. MARMONT.

TRIESTE, JULY.II.—M. Lieutenant-General 13EL-
LEGARDE has traversed the Mouths,' and has ,gone
to Cataro. He was saluted by the artillery of the
place,. and that of the vessels lying at anchor,. and
received with the, greatest
.honours: Having staid
five hours, he returned to Lesina. On the same
day M. BE;.LEGAI3.DE sent off a Courier to Vienna.

French. Troops continue to pass, as well as trans-
ports of ammunition of every kind, which go to Dal-
matia.

ENS' CHEDE, AUG. 3.—The 65th French Regiment
of Infantry, . forty French artillerymen, with two
pieces of cannon, and four waggons, set out on the
Ist inst. one Division for Steinfurth, and other for
,Bentheim. They are probably destined to take pos-
session .g.the Counties of Bentheim and Steinfurth,
'in the name of the Duke of 'CLEVES, .the Prussian
Troops having quitted their position on the ap-
proach.df the French. We learn from Plsin,alittle
town in that county, that other French Troops:have
'arrived from Nortburn ; 'that. the Prussians had eva-
cuated Nieuhuis ; and that the Officers of alLiatilci
of the county of Bentheim had. been convoked, in
order to take the oath to their new Sovereign, to
be administered by General DA VOUST, Command-
ant of the French Troops,.. According to other
news from that Country, the oath of fidelity was to
be 'administered, by two diginguished persons who
were, "every instant expeeted from Dusseldorf, and
. who would take civil, possession as well of that
county as of the country on this side-of the Ems
TheCou ntnfBENTHEUM STEINFURTH will retain all
his real and. personal property ; .but two Members
of the Regency at Steinfurth have already taken the
oath of fidelity to the new Sovereign.

Yesterday tnOrning the 1 Ith Regiment of Loyal
LQadon Volunteers; commanded by Major REID,
mustered on their parade in Charter-house-square,
pursuant tb orders, *march to Highbury Barn, to
fire at a. target, after'which the Regiment sat doWn
wan elegant breakfast; provided for them by their
Officers. Before leaving the room, the Command-
ing Officer stated to them, that as Volunteers of the
City of London they Were not entitled to receive any
allowance from Government, and that the Ward,
in consequence of . the Levy-en-Masse ACI, had de-
' dined making !mother subscription : he then read
several Resolutions which the.officers had agreed
to, of an annual subscription, corresponding, with.
, their respeetive ranks, for the future independent
support of the Regiment, and recommended that
each Member should subscribe a specific . sum for
that. purpose ; which was unanimously agreed to.—'
The Regiment mustered very numerously, and after-
going thrbugh the business of the day, returned to
the Parade, and were d;smiSsed. •
