STATE OF TUE.EV4iEQI-7ER

The Secretary of the Treasury then read a me-
morial, in which, after shelving the impossibility
of presenting all exact stateftwit of the sititation
of the finances, he enuraerated the amount of the
army, consisting of 140,000 infantry, and 18,000
cavalry, for the maintenance of which
.there bad
always been a deficiency of funds. tie detailed the
I...easures adopted by the Regency foi' the formation_
of magazines, and supplying the wants of the
armies : at loan of eight millions had been Made
for paying them. The Regency feared, that even
when the direct contribution was established,
there would he a great deficit ; and had trans-
mitted to the Cortes a proposition for a loan of
ten millions of dollars from .the English Govern-
ment.- Should the army receive that anginenta-
firm which the present state of Europ.,, and of the
action, appeared to. require, the Regency. would
then propose the. tt.cessary means for covering
these new demands.—With regard to the ultra,
marine forces, some provinces did not
,at. present
produce 'what .wu,i necessary fur their expellees,
others scarcely covered them ; and others had a
small surplus. '

mg and of shoes was now beginning to he expe-
rienced. There were also semen military schools,
with 1500 pupils., The, marine W-as in a very bad
state, and in the:greatest want of every thing. It
comprised 2.L5 vessels of.all descriptions,

A Gentleman, who found Means to leave Ham-
burgh at the close of last mouth, and to make his
Way to this country, rehtes.some corions parti-
culars respecting the operations of the French in
that pity. On the :111st ult. the fortifications were
considered-to be nearly completed, and the garri-
son bad succeeded in provisioning
,itself for a. long
period to come. The Hamburgenberg had been
pulled dam's, to the extent of :tour streets across
the hill, as far as the tiles Droege. The Glass••
hut, with all that belonged to it, and every thing
before the gate. . called Danithor, had ,bcen dew
strayed!as far as the Botanic Garden. Before the
gate Brokthor, and on the Grashnok, all the houses
were in the act of being pulled down. The whole
Borgfelde, and all the country in that neighbour
hood, bad been 'levelled to the gvound In the
suburbs, the plrement had been removed, anti all
the stones conveyed to Wilhelmsburgh, in order
to make a grand paved road. The bridge leading
front the Brokthor across the Graihrok to.Wil-
helmbOrg, has, been finished, and cost in building
about four millions of franks. Ali the articles ne-
cessary far its construction bad been taken by re-
quisition. The whole seized in this mariner, iii-
eluding timber, iron, hemp, tar, together with
wine, brandy, &c. for the garrison, amounted to
at least twenty millions of franks. Two new ci-
tadels had been recently erected, one near
Burgh's monument, commanding' the
,Jungler-
steig the other at the Stintfung, threatening
the whole town. The Church of the Holy
Spirit had been converted.into a magazine ; that
of St. John into a magazine fur wine ; and
that of Gertrude into one for flour., The suices
bet Ween
,the Great and Little Elster bad been
opened for, the .greater facility of conveying the
materials for erecting some new palisadoes near
the Lister: 'The' opening the sluices, however,
occasioned the 'rising, 'at the water in the- Little
Eisler to such a height that it completely filled all
the cellars belonging to the dwellings of the lower
Classes of people : ,but of this circumstance no no-
tice ,whatever was taken by the enemy. InFteml.
of conciliating the people, by studYing their com-
fort, the French do every. thing to :mortify them.
The soldiers nee micron ly quartered:on the in-
habitants, and extraoi (Unary charges ar6l,,a
the people, independent of the heavy contributions
levied, on .them. About the 'l2stb of October,'
• 7.,000 blankets were demanded by the rreneli
Commandant for tke'use of the troops. Tlik be-
ing. the Whole supposed to he wanted, they wei:e
immediately furnished ; 'but in:the course of a few
days afterwards, a Still greater supply (from..;:s
80,000): was 'required. The respectable citizens'
continued to avail themselves of every opportunity
to escape iron; the clutches of the ['remelt, aban-
doning both their to '.•n and country lrmses, toge-
ther with' com,iderahle-property. Twelve hundred
of the offish auxiliary troops were stationed at
Altona, and 4000 sick were at the cotton Manu-
factory:before the Dainthor, al also 1600 out of
the 16,000 in the field. Besides these, there was
a great number of French 'sick in flainburgh, not
hiSt.r, it is said, thiin 6000 men, lit the territory
of Bain, whickthe French entered a feW weeks
ago, great outrages bad been committed. The-
news of the battleT of the 18th and 19th appeared
to produce considerable effect on the. leading
men, and Much disagreeMent evidently ex 7
istertaniongst them as to their future operations.
That the, place, however, would be defended to
the last extremity no one doubted! ,
