Total 1,307,000
To these levies, however, the •19 Hanseatic,
Dutch, Tuscan, and Itonnm Department's,* h-liere
the conscriptions were commanded merely_ by _au
Imperial Decree, without the -approVaf of -.the
Senate, did not contribute, but only the I.ll;De-
partments of Old Prance, whose population
amounts to about 3G millions. According to,the
lists of births and deaths in the French Empire, it
appears that in Prance thiere is n new 'generation
every thirty years, and that in the above 111 De-
partments the annual average of births is 1,200,000.
'Now,acctwate observations sh exi;., that not more than
one half of the persons born are living at the end
of 20 years, consequently, out of these 1,200,000,
scarcely 600,000, and not so many as 300,000 males.,
-The above statement proves, that in the lait 2 years
258,000 men were taken froM the classl792, 220,333
from the class 1793, 233,333 from the plais
.1799,
160,000 .of the class 1795, and upon, an average
72,500 men of each of the classes from 178(i to 1791,,
which likewise furnished in preceding years from
100;000 to 120,000 men, so that the total amOtint
of each of these six classes likewise makes . abOut
200,000. TO these must be added the voluntary
offerings, as they are called, made in the begin..
ning of last year, and exceeding 50,000 'lien,
which consequently makes an addition of more
than 5000 men to each of the above chlsses and it
Inusrfurther be considered that the. places of such
,Conscripts as absconded ditist be supplieil by ot:;ers,
who but for this would have been free, and that in
consequence of the French
,Revolution, the births
in the years 1793, 1794, and 1795,,were le;s nu-
merous than usual. -

Thus it 'is evident, that one-fourth at most of
the males born in the years 1780 to 1793 remain-
ed exempt from military service, and that as a
total stagnation of all the airs of civil life must
necessarily ensue, France, should she even be able
to continue the war for a few years to' come,
would not.be capable, even under the •most_ for.
tunate circumstances, to go on much longer fur
